History was made today with MN Fury, who had won four state tournaments in their existence, came up with four straight championships from the 2023 class to the 2020 class to double their first place trophies to eight.<\/p>\n
On the flip side of this historic day it was the first time North Tartan has not taken home first place hardware since\u2026\u2026we are not officially sure, but my records start clean in 2006. So at least since 2006 or 13 years. It could be longer than that. Prior to that the records begins in 1990 and is spotty throughout the 90s and early 2000s. In 1990 NT had two champions for example. Every year I have records, NT had a title. I am missing 1994, 1996, and 1999-2005. My guess is NT won at least one in those years. They probably won in 1989 too (and early). I just don’t have the documents.\u00a0 At the least it is an 13 consecutive year string broken. It could be as long as 30 consecutive years.<\/p>\n
Here is the titles by Year (calendar)<\/a> and by class (grad year)<\/a><\/p>\n Here are the 2019 results<\/p>\n 4: 43 Hoops 2027 45, North Tartan 4 Kueneman 27 We talked about the 57% solution last weekend. True to form it came to fruition again with four different champions this week in grades 10, 9, 7, and 5. There were four rematches from a week ago with a split. The same winner came in 11 & 6, the runner up last week adjusted and moved to the top in 9 and 5. Two #3 seeds, left for dead last weekend, came back to ride the wave in 10 & 7.<\/p>\n There were three new match ups today with the previously stated 10 & 7 along with 8.<\/p>\n As far as repeat champions here is the list:<\/strong><\/p>\n Tayler Hill Elite 2026 two time champ 4 & 5 Returning after a one year absence:<\/strong> Getting over the hump<\/strong><\/p>\n MN Fury 2022 (9) beating North Tartan 9 Elite\/Conteras after finishing second to them in 2018 This also halted a couple of interesting individual championship records.<\/strong><\/p>\n Paige Bueckers won titles in 4th<\/sup> grade (with a 5th<\/sup> grade team MN Thunder); and then in grades 5-10 with North Tartan—-seven straight. She would have been the first for eight straight, and would have been perfect doing so. The only player with seven straight titles and, perfect at it, is——Maesyn Theisen with North Tartan from 5 to 11. (2011 to 2017). Lauren Jensen could have tied that mark but lost to MN Fury 2020 today.<\/p>\n The numbers and a\u00a0 quick impression of the action should be available tomorrow.\u00a0 And I will have things to say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" History was made today with MN Fury, who had won four state<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[154,138,7],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8CdKT-3Gv","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":8338,"url":"https:\/\/kjasr.com\/live\/?p=8338","url_meta":{"origin":14167,"position":0},"title":"Club GBB Out & About: MN State AAU Championships 16 Minute Halves (9-11)","date":"May 21, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Three graphs added This is the second part of the 2018 MN State AAU Championships, the 16 minute division games.
