You can start at 5:30pm tonight!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Head over to the school that looks like a mansion as Minnehaha Academy plays at Providence Academy. The host is pretty bad at 2-11 but senior George Jacobson is a good player at 15 a game and the Redhawks have won five of seven games. Four Hawks are averaging double figures including [player_tooltip player_id='2090661' first='George' last='Norsman'] at 17 a game and [player_tooltip player_id='2104454' first='Kingston' last='Manning'] is scoring 13 a game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>And then.... its top of the metro to the bottom of the metro to see Lakeville North and Lakeville South tip at 7:30pm. North has won seven of their last eight and they have a lot of players up front with size plus the backcourt is doing better every day with Piscikas, Fager, and Grossman. As for South, they have won three of their last five with good wins over Prior Lake and Shakopee, but one loss was to North. Now they are at North two weeks later. That [player_tooltip player_id='1470706' first='Keaton' last='Ressler'], [player_tooltip player_id='1560830' first='Casey' last='Fliehe'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2406398' first='Malachi' last='Gant'] South backcourt is pretty good. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Weekend's Best</strong>. AAA Benilde-St. Margaret's at 6AAA Alexandria.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1572691' first='Jaleel' last='Donley'] vs [player_tooltip player_id='2118449' first='Mason' last='Witt']. Donley has done a wonderful job leading his team, Mason has been shooting the lights out with one of the best shooting touches in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>TJ Stuttley vs [player_tooltip player_id='1946855' first='Samson' last='Hagstrom']. Stuttley the talented scorer, Samson is an active player on both ends, could be a fun match-up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2140671' first='Milton' last='Nuahn'] vs [player_tooltip player_id='2118495' first='Talan' last='Witt']. Shuttley, Nuahn, and some of the others, they will have to slow down the talented scorer that is [player_tooltip player_id='2118495' first='Talan' last='Witt']. Witt could be the ex-factor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2575642' first='Kobbe' last='Willis'] vs [player_tooltip player_id='2115657' first='Gavin' last='Roderick']. Roderick has had some big scoring days, Kobbe has worked his way into giving BSM a fourth option. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1572689' first='Jalen' last='Wilson'] vs [player_tooltip player_id='1572690' first='Chase' last='Thompson'].
