The Tuesday Night Top Fives

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After looking through the results from Tuesday night, who were some of the five most surprising wins? Biggest upsets? etc etc</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Top Five Wins</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Blake 78 Minnehaha Academy 66</strong>. [player_tooltip player_id='2118459' first='Carson' last='McMichael'] scored 33 points and Blake earned a big win to start the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Faribault 78 Mankato West 57</strong>. These are teams that seemed close in the running for the Big Nine push, and the Falcons won that game by 21. That's a potential statement win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>STMA 63 Monticello 51</strong>. The Magic just beat Delano and now STMA grabs a double figure win led by Jermiah Johnson and Hudson Hotchstedler each had 21. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lakeville North 70 East Ridge 65</strong>. 6'4 senior [player_tooltip player_id='2094704' first='Johanes' last='Piscikas'] had 22 points for North who had more balance in earning the five point win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Eagan 67 St. Thomas 55</strong>. A good twelve point win for Eagan led by the 19 points from junior guard Will Berran. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Top Five Upsets</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Minneapolis Washburn 71 Park Center 57</strong>. No stats offered but a really big win for a Millers team that people didn't expect to beat the Pirates by 14. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>North St Paul 67 Armstrong 65</strong>. Despite [player_tooltip player_id='1448601' first='Desmond' last='Ware'] scoring 40, NSP had the balance and were led by the 20 from serious up and comer [player_tooltip player_id='2465512' first='Duke' last='King']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Minneapolis Southwest 63 Osseo 55</strong>. Osseo lost a lot but I wasn't expected a Southwest team that also lost a lot, to earn the eight point victory. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Blaine 85 Coon Rapids 63.</strong> Wow. The Bengals were picked pretty much last all over and left for dead, and they beat the defending section champs by 22 and had FIVE double figures scorers led by 22 points from senior Ty Buffo. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Park Christian 72 Ada Borup West 65</strong>. Park Christian is a top ten potential team but to beat a top five Class A team right away is an upset and is huge for that team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Top Five Eye Openers</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Wayzata 98 Prior Lake 73</strong>. That Trojan backcourt of [player_tooltip player_id='1560867' first='Christian' last='Wiggins'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1560807' first='Isaac' last='Olmstead'] combined for 45 points in a big second half push to beat a good Prior Lake team by 25. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Mound-Westonka 80 St. Francis 47</strong>. [player_tooltip player_id='2434741' first='Cole' last='Drill'] scored 21 and the White Hawks controlled the game from start to finish. Going to be a factor!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Buffalo 90 Cambridge 63</strong>. The balance of Buffalo had five double figure scorers leading to 90 points and a 27 point win. [player_tooltip player_id='2423572' first='Jordy' last='Sorenson'] had a team high of 22 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sartell 70 Rocori 56</strong>. Andrew Nelson had 20 and [player_tooltip player_id='2575639' first='Jalen' last='Schumann'] had 16 earning Sartell a win over a veteran Rocori team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Apollo 95 Hutchinson 42</strong>. This was a final score I was not expecting. [player_tooltip player_id='1574216' first='Azayah' last='Washington'] had his 39 but his teammates stepped up big on both sides of the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
