Tuesday Night Match-Up and Predictions!

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's a small night of games but we stay with the Tuesday Night Match-ups and predictions! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Minneapolis North at 3AAAA Hopkins</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Terry Pettis vs [player_tooltip player_id='1574212' first='Anthony' last='Smith']. Smith is a 20+ per game scorer while Pettis is a bigger guard that can get a body on Smith. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2524689' first='Marcus' last='Marshall Jr'] vs [player_tooltip player_id='1550877' first='Jayden' last='Moore']. Marshall is a 15 point per game scorer at 15 a game, Moore is the playmaker for Hopkins that is coming off big games against DeLaSalle and Minnetonka.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jakari Miamen vs Davie Hart. The North third leading scorer is Miamen, Hart is a slashing scoring option. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1968450' first='ZaShon' last='Rich'] vs [player_tooltip player_id='1595734' first='JJ' last='Semanko']. Rich will be a football player next year but right now he is getting 20 points per game for North while Semanko is one of the hottest names in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jermaine Jones vs Julius Ellis. A pair of 6'5/6'6 guys that are doing the battling work inside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. Hopkins wins by 15. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Maple Grove at Edina</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1293966' first='Henry' last='Stang'] vs [player_tooltip player_id='1284163' first='Josiah' last='Coleman']. Different sizes, different players, but these are the backcourt scorers there teams rely on. Likely will not defend each other but their playmaking on one side against the other is huge to this game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1617766' first='Keegan' last='Harney'] vs Billy DeMars. Harney is a junior that has taken a huge jump as a junior scoring nearly 14 a game. DeMars is one of three Edina wings scoring nine points a game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gannon McGuire vs [player_tooltip player_id='1437335' first='Owen' last='Kemper']. A pair of six foot guards that will score near double figures for their team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1288710' first='Josh' last='Femrite'] vs [player_tooltip player_id='1574213' first='Daniel' last='Molhoek']. Femrite is like the high school hoops version of Brock Lesnar. His muscle will be smashing with Molhoek who scores 15 a night and Edina needs his production.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. Crimson have won eight of nine, Edina is the upset king but has also fell short in games they feel they should have won. This is a tough pick, I say Crimson by a basket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>8A Red Lake County at Win-E-Mac</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Will Gieseke vs [player_tooltip player_id='2139200' first='Joe' last='Courneya']. These are the young scorers, Will is the sophomore and Joe is the freshman. They are the third options for their team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1628768' first='Connor' last='Duden'] vs [player_tooltip player_id='1284164' first='Justin' last='Courneya']. Justin is a 30+ point per game guy that gets his points from all over while Duden is a scorer and a top defender so Dude on Courneya should be fun.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1490631' first='Owen' last='Chervestad'] vs [player_tooltip player_id='2100615' first='Ryan' last='Kangas']. Kangas is a big, Owen is a point guard that likely won't see Kangas but Owen does so much that you might see him run into all Win-E-Mac players. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. This game should be closer than the last one (79-61 RLC) but I still think Red Lake County wins by nine. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>St. Paul Harding at Cristo Rey Jesuit</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ai'Jhon Douglas vs [player_tooltip player_id='1284188' first='Miles' last='Nelson']. Douglas is one of the best players that is under the radar, he is an attacking guard that scores 22 a game. Nelson will see Douglas often plus he scores 11 a game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2364200' first='Luqman' last='Ibrahim'] vs Corey Dotson. Ibrahim and Dotson are 15-16 points per game scorers with Ibrahim being more of a lead guard and Dotson doing more around the basket at 6'5/6'6.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. Harding is having a strong season and should win by nine. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ada-Borup at Northern Freeze</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1434978' first='Cameron' last='Spaeth'] vs Cade Knutsen. These are the versatile scoring options for their teams. Spaeth is more of the wing, Knutson is more around the basket but is a versatile player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prediction. Ada-Borup by a dozen. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
