The Tuesday Night Standouts: Bison for the Win

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We go through the top performances of the evening including a big win by Buffalo!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6AAAA St. Michael-Albertville at Buffalo</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>WRONG</strong>. We said STMA by seven, it was Buffalo by 15! WOW. Big win for Buffalo. Four Buffalo players were in double figures in a balanced attack led by [player_tooltip player_id='2104439' first='Ty' last='Torgrimson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2423572' first='Jordy' last='Sorenson'] with 14 each. STMA only had four players score total. This game was close for about 25 game minutes but Buffalo took total control down the stretch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1AA Albany at St. Cloud Cathedral</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction.<strong> Correct</strong>. We said this would be a double figure win, it was a running time route and Albany was without [player_tooltip player_id='1286547' first='Sam' last='Hondl']. They are a deeper, tougher, smarter, and more talented team than I think people realize. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>8AAA Stewartville at Goodhue</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>Correct</strong>. We said Stewartville by eight, it was Stewartville by 19. [player_tooltip player_id='1476739' first='Caleb' last='Bancroft'] scored 17 points and [player_tooltip player_id='1198613' first='Parker' last='Wangen'] had 15 points for the Tigers in the controlling win. And an expected win. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>East Central at 1A Cherry</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>Correct</strong>. We said Cherry by 16, Cherry won by 18. [player_tooltip player_id='2126128' first='Isaiah' last='Asuma'] led with 25 points and nine assists, Noad Sundquist supported with 22 points and seven rebounds in the victory. Next up? Undefeated and ranked Deer River on Friday! Also, [player_tooltip player_id='2126128' first='Isaiah' last='Asuma'] was offered by UMD recently. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>St. Louis Park at 1AAA Benilde-St. Margaret's</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. <strong>Correct</strong>. We said BSM by a dozen, it was BSM winning 78-68. BUT, St. Louis Park didn't have [player_tooltip player_id='2423568' first='Rashaad' last='Kimber'], [player_tooltip player_id='1589407' first='Marley' last='Curtis'] or [player_tooltip player_id='1874916' first='Micah' last='Curtis'] and had we known that we would have said BSM by 25+ and it was a ten point win which was pry a moral victory for St. LP. Jalen WIlson scored 32 to lead the Red Knights, [player_tooltip player_id='2362161' first='Matthew' last='Johnson'] had 21 in the loss. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>I Saw It On Twitter!</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>How did Deer River get ready for their ranked showdown with Class A number one Cherry? [player_tooltip player_id='2103407' first='Caiden' last='Schjenken'] hit seven threes and scored 36 points while [player_tooltip player_id='1582113' first='Cale' last='Jackson'] hit eight threes and scored 33 points for a 93-57 win over Red Lake </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2104535' first='Brady' last='Kittelson'], a senior from Blooming Prairie, hit four threes and scored 41 points as the Blossoms crushed Bethlehem Academy 96-37.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560741' first='Will' last='Kirsch'] scored 41 points tying the second highest single game scoring total in Waconia history and more importantly they beat local rival Chanhassen 88-83. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not much on Twitter last night, lots of frozen fingers out there from local media as well as from the athletes who are in no way shy these days. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Upset of the Night</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Having already mentioned Buffalo knocking off top ten STMA, I would have to go with St. Anthony going on the road and earning their 5th win of the season (5-5) at Mound-Westonka in overtime. [player_tooltip player_id='2120490' first='Brett' last='Siroin'] had 30 for the Huskies upping his season average to about 19 points per game for the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
