MINNEAPOLIS WASHBURN 46, NORTH ST. PAUL 29

In the quest to see all 64 AAAA teams, Wednesday night did me a

favor by putting two teams together that needed to be charted. Visiting Washburn beat a North Polar team, but not the conference rival. The Millers traveled to North St. Paul to pick up the win. The Millers scored on their first possession. NSP did have a 7-5 lead, but the offensive tide shifted away and the Polars had problems attempting shots. They only had 37 combined shots (2s & 3s) all night; Washburn had 55. The Millers got a jolt of offense off the bench from Naomi York. After five minutes had passed in the second half York had more points than NSP (14-13). A key stat is getting the ball in the paint (or in the olden days “key”). Washburn won that battle 51-33, close to the final score. Neither team was able to get above 70 pp100.

Last year I saw these two teams on the second Saturday in January (but not against each other).

Washburn is now 3-6 on the year. NSP is at least 1-5.

I need 21 more teams to cross off my AAAA list (not counting the conference and non-cons that I will see with Stillwater).
