Recap of action from Sunday 1.19.2025
D1 HIGH FIVE
Liv McGill, Florida, Hopkins 21
Amaya Battle, Minnesota, Hopkins 18
Paige Bueckers, UConn, Hopkins 18
Nunu Agara, Stanford, Hopkins 15
Adalia McKenzie, Illinois, Park Center 15
Totals: 87
Adalia McKenzie crashes an all Hopkins party. The top four spots all belong to Royals. This is the first time one high school has dominated. Hopkins has previously snagged a trio several times this season. Bueckers, Battle, and Agara won a state title together in 2019. McGill was actually a teammate with McKenzie that year at Park Center when they made the state tournament.
DAY AHEAD
45 games await the MLK Monday. Six of those games are at St. Catherine’s starting at 10 am.

#3AA New London-Spicer is at Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg. KMS has not been ranked in the AA polls. A victory here for the Saints would change that.

BAD NEWS
….I am unable to get out to chart games for the next 10 days. I am not ill. My car is and won’t be able to be fixed/repaired in a timely manner. This throws a wrench in my plans, teams and games won’t stand still….but I have had a horrible experience ignoring my check engine light. That mistake won’t be made twice.
