In one day (Monday) I equaled the totals of Week 9—-five events. Add in five more dates and five more games & I have a perfect 10 games for week 10.<\/p>\n

The week was far from a “Bo Derek.” There were four running time games; two others in the 20+ category. Only two games were one possession games, the kind that make a writer examine the nuances of decisions, body language and competitive fire that creates drama. Why does a team prevail? Why does a team fail?<\/p>\n

Pace is a big factor in games. Teams can go fast, press, helter-skelter or slow, deliberate, measured. It is the age old battle of the tortoise and the hare. Possession counts went from a high of 79 to a low of 52 this week. The average for the week was 69.5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So a fast paced game does not necessarily mean more 3s. It means more attacks at the rim. The faster the pace, the better skilled offensively the players. These are averages from the 10 games this week. Keep in mind a team may be forced to play fast when they would prefer the slower paced. The numbers indicate a severe drop from fast to extremely slow in pp100, field goal %, but not 3FG%.<\/p>\n

3 COMPARISIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally!! I have completed two conferences and one section. With Bloomington Jefferson (Metro West); Monticello (Mississippi 8) and Hibbing (7AAA), I completed the set. This is a departure from normal with usually the Lake, South Suburban and a AAAA conference wrapped up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Metro West tops all three. Perhaps this is because they have five AAAA schools to the one (Cambridge-Isanti) in the AAA heavy Mississippi 8 now that Buffalo, Rogers and St. Michael-Albertville left. The difference between the MW and the M8 is slight—about four points, but the gap between the M8 (again a heavy AAA conference) and 7AAA is huge—-about 14 points. Three of the M8 teams are also part of the 7AAA landscape. Subtracting the M8 influence the 7AAA numbers plummet even lower to 51.32. The three M8 contributors, by themselves in 7AAA are at 82.27, better than any of the three totals above.<\/p>\n

Who is next? There are still some missing pieces to the puzzle here and there. With mega conferences the task becomes more complex. It looks like week 11 will get the required teams crossed off any list. But February should start to see more fall. And when they do it will be rapid.<\/p>\n

QUEST FOR 100<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

20 teams to go. February and March to go. A possible 24 dates. Add in postseason possibilities and the weeks increase to seven, the dates 42. The lack of multiple games on Saturday was disappointing, but I suppose we traded Monday for Saturday with five games charted. \u00a0The algorithm going forward is: 1. Top QRF team left available—-specifically AAAA. Why? AAAA sections are all on Wednesday February 26th except for 8AAAA which goes on Thursday the 27th. \u00a0I won\u2019t have opportunities to see any of these teams after that date. 2. If there are no top 100 teams, then the top two remaining—say #127 plays #327 and #135 plays #148 I will go to the double 100 game and avoid the 300 match up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

NUMBERS<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a return to the 70\u2019s this week. The pp100 dipped to 79.13, down 2.55 from last week\u2019s number and stopping a five week 80\u2019s streak. The margin slightly, ever so slightly, improved downward, about 5.<\/p>\n

The best game, as measured by pp100 was Friday\u2019s 96. That game was running time so the margin between the two teams (Stillwater\/Woodbury) was not compelling. The most compelling, down to the wire, last possession type game was on Saturday at Willmar. But that game\u2019s pp100 was the lowest total for the week with a 60.91 mark, not an artistic must see.<\/p>\n

AAAA dropped for the week, down 3. AAA did improve by 5, but what is it about AAA? They are mired in the 50s. Can they ever escape? AA ruled with two teams over the century mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

31 CLUB<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

With a healthy amount of games, we had a healthy amount of 31 Clubers. After two weeks of single digit entries we got to a dozen. \u00a0Stillwater accounted for five of that dozen, with Liza Karlen getting on twice. Holdingford was the only other school with multiple entries, with Grace and Kendra Gerads getting it done in only one half of action. It also should be pointed out Gus Boyer of Waseca made her second appearance on the list in three chartings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
