The Tuesday Night Standouts: Yusuf, Briggs and Brooks

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Huge nights from Yusuf Hamze, [player_tooltip player_id='2126447' first='Briggs' last='Sheridan'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2385822' first='Brooks' last='Rechtzigel'] in big games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>3AAAA Tartan at 4AAAA Hopkins </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tartan came into the night up 60-50, won the game 84-76, [player_tooltip player_id='2560499' first='Kevin' last='Wilson Jr.'] had at least 23 points (that's what he started with, no result announced what he finished with) while [player_tooltip player_id='2560534' first='Tre' last='Moore'] led Hopkins with 27. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction: CORRECT. We said Tartan by nine, they won by eight p pints.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2AAAA Maple Grove at 6AAAA Alexandria</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction: CORRECT. We said Crimson by three (not knowing [player_tooltip player_id='2118495' first='Talan' last='Witt'] was out) and they won by seven. [player_tooltip player_id='2126467' first='Baboucarr' last='Ann'] scored 33, we wrote about the game earlier today.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>1AA Goodhue at Rushford-Peterson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140680' first='Owen' last='Roschen'] scored 23 points, [player_tooltip player_id='1951088' first='Luke' last='Roschen'] scored 22, [player_tooltip player_id='2394170' first='Alex' last='Loos'] had 20 and [player_tooltip player_id='2396393' first='Cody' last='Ryan'] scored 15. The depth of the top ranked team in the state was just too much. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction: CORRECT. We said Goodhue by 11, they won 80-63. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Eden Prairie at Waconia </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Cats could not stop the attack of Eden Prairie senior guard [player_tooltip player_id='1560851' first='Hamze' last='Yusuf'] who scored 30 points and is really playing himself into a higher spot in terms of All State, making his team think state, and maybe we should be talking about Yusuf in the Race for Mr. Basketball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction: CORRECT, but, not really. We thought it would be a close game and it wasn't. Eden Prairie won 76-60 and clearly made themselves the Class 2AAAA favorite. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cannon Falls at 10AAA Stewartville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The best player on the floor last night was [player_tooltip player_id='2385822' first='Brooks' last='Rechtzigel'] who scored 33 points while [player_tooltip player_id='2569260' first='Miles' last='Rechtzigel'] supported with 17. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction: <strong>WRONG</strong>. Looks like we bought into the Tiger hype a little too much. Bombers earned the win a day after the Tigers moved into the state rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lakeville North at 8AAAA Apple Valley</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Game was moved to Wednesday after Apple Valley didn't have school on Tuesday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction: TBD</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Farmington at 10AAA Lakeville South</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126447' first='Briggs' last='Sheridan'] came through with a game high for the Tigers scoring 28 points while Max Sheridan had 23. Good win for the Tigers who look like they have a chance to be a top ten team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction: CORRECT. We said 71-70, Tigers won 70-66. </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>Senior [player_tooltip player_id='2417208' first='Jakar' last='Rice'] is a 6'2 wing from St. Paul Humboldt. He is scoring 20 points per game and last night he had 25 in a win over Eagle Ridge. Humboldt is 5-0 to start the year and Rice is having a great start. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blooming Prairie improved to 6-0 last night beating Bethlehem Academy. Junior [player_tooltip player_id='2126171' first='Gabe' last='Staloch'] scored 25 points, he knocked out three threes. Fellow junior [player_tooltip player_id='2388746' first='Kingston' last='Lee'] scored 22 points. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lawrence Bowstring of Deer River scored 39 points in a big two point win over Cass Lake-Bena. The senior is off to a great start as Deer River improved to 3-1. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Upset of the Night</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>St. Louis Park beat Minneapolis North 82-70 and this has come on the heels of a lot of North fans talking lots of trash about being ranked in the Class AA top ten. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
