ABOUT LAST NIGHT…..A & AA SEMIS
It was Friday the 13th at Williams Arena on Friday. Glaeser’s Theorem is alive and well (a team, in order to win a tournament, needs to survive a bad half). Depleted Perham put up a fight in the first half against Providence trailing only by two. Maddyn Greenway was her usual productive self, but the next highest scorer came off the bench: junior Lily Sabers delivered 14 points going 4/5 on 2s, and 2/6 on 3s and the Lions will be looking for a fifth straight AA title.
Hillcrest Lutheran & CMC’s second half sank their chances. The Comets had three players in the 31 club on Thursday, only one on Friday. CMC had two members on Thursday, zero on Friday. NLS got off to a slow start, made a move to cut it to five, but faded due to fouls down the stretch.
Tent pole players like Greenway, Johnson, Mathiowetz lived up to consistent expectations. MIB has balance and depth that is unusual for A teams. Their top performer was Anna Neyens with a 200 pp100 going a scintillating 8/11 from 3s on her way to 30 points.
| Team | PP100 |
| Mountain Iron-Buhl | 106.8 |
| Providence | 105.9 |
| Duluth Marshall | 102.8 |
| Sleepy Eye St. Mary’s | 82.8 |
| New London-Spicer | 80.0 |
| Hillcrest Lutheran | 77.8 |
| Central MN Christian | 74.6 |
| Perham | 72.1 |
31 CLUB
The 31 Club was 4-3 in the win/loss column on Friday. Four players were AA, three A. The only school not to provide a member was Central MN Christian. The top pp100 came from Anna Neyens with 200. Mathiowetz, and Retzlaff repeated from Thursday. Johnson and Anderson repeated from Wednesday. I did not chart Greenway or Tanner on Wednesday. Anderson and Greenway are the only 2026s on the list. There were no multiple school entries for the first time this tournament.
| Player | School | 31 Club | PP100 |
| Chloe Johnson | Duluth Marshall | 58 | 133.3 |
| Maddyn Greenway | Providence | 55 | 115.4 |
| Morgan Mathiowetz | SESM | 45 | 118.5 |
