ABOUT LAST NIGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Providence hit the century mark in a running time win over Winona Cotter at home Saturday afternoon that left little doubt. Ramblers coach Pat Bowlin picked up career win #700 earlier in the week. This was not going to be #701. Every Lion roared in the 105-42 victory. The key factor was the speed of the game indicated by the pressure applied to Cotter resulting in 38 turnovers or one every 8.76 touches. That translated into easy lay ups and 32 more field goals. Providence had enough in the bank to secure victory with slightly under two minutes left in the first half as they created a 46-12 lead.<\/p>\n

The pp100 for Providence was an overwhelming 132.9 for the team compared to Cotter\u2019s 54.5. On top of that, the Providence bench had an even better mark of 146.7. The starters 129.7 is nothing to sneeze at. All five of the Lions almost made the 31 Club with Hope Counts and Beckett Greenway just missing with 28 each. Maddyn Greenway led all with a 45 score on the strength of 26 points and pp100 of 113. McKenna Schaefer and Emma Millerbernd each had 31. Schaefer is probably the least familiar of the five starters, but she is fulfilling the role that Brooke Hoenecker provided last season. In fact, if Schaefer touched the ball on a possession, Providence scored at the rate of 59.25 percent. That is a number generally reserved for post players. Usually, a score close to 40% is considered pretty good.<\/p>\n

Getting back to the bench\u2026Providence connected on 13 3s for the game with the deep bench scoring 3\/3. This is not good news for Lion future opponents.<\/p>\n

Providence continues their tour of the Three Rivers conference later this week when Dover-Eyota comes to Plymouth.<\/p>\n

QUEST FOR\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Checking the top 10s<\/p>\n

AAAA: I made a mistake last week indicating I have seen all top 10. I have not seen Prior Lake yet, so this makes the score 9\/10. 90%.<\/p>\n

AAA: With adjustments to the top 10 I have dropped one here too and now only stand at 4\/10 for 40%.<\/p>\n

AA: with the addition of Crosby-Ironton on my check list I actually went up one here 3\/10 for 30%.<\/p>\n

A: Mayer Lutheran has been the only check off so far at 1\/10 or 10%.<\/p>\n

Checking the seeding the state (below)<\/p>\n

15\/32 or 46.875. AAAA tops the list at 7\/8. AAA is next at 5\/8, AA 2\/8, A 1\/8.<\/p>\n

Monday the QRF will come out. I am no longer chasing the top 200 or even 100. My first target list will be the top 20. I am searching to see the best game available within a certain radius of my home. No more long, solo treks across the frozen tundra and returning home close to 1 am (or later). If that means seeing the same team over & over & over again I will.<\/p>\n

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

Heading into last week there were 112 teams without a loss. Now there are 59. Expect more to fall this week.<\/p>\n

Who would have thunk that the three teams without a blemish in AAAA would not be in the top ten list or in the seeding the state list (so far). The surprise team exiting the AAAA list was Hopkins in their loss to Eastview on Wednesday. Three of the eight AAA teams left are on the seeding list.<\/p>\n

I will go out on a limb and state that the AAAA state champion will NOT be undefeated this season.<\/p>\n

Once a class gets to ten or less I will list the teams.<\/p>\n

AAAA: 3 Mounds View, New Prague, Sartell<\/p>\n

AAA: 8 Austin, Delano, Holy Angels, Mahtomedi, Marshall, Monticello, Red Wing, Rock Ridge<\/p>\n

AA: 27<\/p>\n

A: 20<\/p>\n

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

St. Michael-Albertville fell of this list with a loss at home to former Mississippi 8 rival Monticello. That means the new leader in AAAA is Mounds View at 6. Two defending state champs reign at AA & A.<\/p>\n

AAAA: 6 Mounds View<\/p>\n

AAA: \u00a07 Delano<\/p>\n

AA: 18 Providence (11+7)<\/p>\n

A: 14 Goodhue (10+4)<\/p>\n

SEEDING THE STATE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

A new #1 in AAAA. With an injury to Tatum Woodson, Hopkins picked up an \u201cL\u201d against Eastview on Wednesday. They quickly rebounded from that loss with a convincing win at Duluth Marshall on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The question now is what is the roughest, toughest section? Signs point to 6AAA with Benilde, Delano, Orono and Holy Angels battling it out. Some will also point to traditional battlegrounds like 2AAAA.<\/p>\n
