Don\u2019t tell me it was wicked defense that did that trick.<\/p>\n

MILESTONES 500 + 2 1000 (& 4×1000)<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nScott Bergman of Sauk Centre reached the 500 victory mark with a 56-40 win over Albany. He also achieved the 400 victory mark against the Huskies.<\/p>\n
Senior Allie Haabala of Alexandria scored her 1000 point in a 81-39 victory over Hill-Murray. This is the fourth Cardinal with 1000 points on the roster. Alex is the 8th<\/sup> school to achieve this feat. Three of those teams had four seniors: Browerville\/Eagle Valley in 2016 (all five starters, one of which was a junior); GHEC\/T\/ML in 2017; and now Alexandria in 2025.<\/p>\nSenior Alexiah LaRose of Cass Lake-Bena joined the 1000 point club in the win over Blackduck.<\/p>\n
ABOUT LAST NIGHT\u2026.#5AAAA St. Michael-Albertville v #3AAAA Eden Prairie<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n#5AAAA St. Michael-Albertville knocked off a depleted #3AAAA Eden Prairie Eagles squad at home on Friday night 62-41. EP was missing Rae Ehrmann, and played the first half without Ella Hardwick. The combined absence and readjustments caused them issues all night which STMA exploited. It basically all came down to shooting. When you shoot good, you look good. STMA was smoking from 2s at 55.6% to the chilly 23% put up by EP. STMA did have a slight advantage behind the arc at 31.3% to 28% for EP. The translation? STMA\u2019s pp100 was a robust 98.4 just missing the century mark. EP struggled all night with the new lineup combinations and ended up with 65.1 pp100.<\/p>\n
EP grabbed an early 9-4 lead on the strength of three 3s, the last two consecutive after three and half minutes elapsed. That encompassed eight possessions by both teams. EP had the lead despite four turnovers. The hosts were not that much better handling the ball with three turnovers. Both teams had a subpar touches per turnover count of 16. Most of these turnovers were lack of focus\/concentration or forcing balls into advantageous situations. STMA took the lead, which turned out to be the last lead change, at 11-9. The first half remained somewhat tight until the last five minutes when the Knights had a 10-4 surge to lead 32-23 at the break. The game trajectory didn\u2019t veer too far off that course the rest of the evening.<\/p>\n
One area I have dialed in on lately is the offensive rebounding (and corresponding defensive rebounding) percentages. The NBA standard or average is 26.8. Neither team was close to that mark. STMA got to 46.7 offensive rebounds, a tad better at 47.4. Neither of those numbers will be adequate when state rolls around in March.<\/p>\n
So where did Ehrmann\u2019s touches end up? Last Friday she had 34% of the EP touches out of a 353 total. The Eagles needed to replace 34%—and this is just touches. The biggest jump went to Tori Schlagel from 8.78% to 20.55. But it should be remembered she was saddled with foul trouble last Friday against Hopkins. That also might explain the high % for Ehrmann. Vanessa Jordan went from 12.46% to 22.22. Camryn Denim jumped from 5.09 to 10.27; Emerson Johnson went from zero to 8.33 in a bigger role. Dropping (due to no first half action) was Hardwick from 25.7 to 9.72. No one took up Ehrmann\u2019s missing scoring slack.<\/p>\n
On the individual 31 Club side of the ledger the usual suspects were all there. Each of the three contests I have charted for STMA have Cail Jahnke and Abby Hoselton either there, or just slightly off. No different on Friday. Both had 32. Schlagel, after last week\u2019s foul troubles, was able to stay on the floor and had a day\u2019s best 33. All were close, if not over 100 pp100 with Hoselton the trailer at 94.1. What I found interesting in these three was how they valued the ball. Jahnke was tops my miles with 59 touches per turnover. Schlagel was next, but it wasn\u2019t close at 14.8, and Hoselton was even lower going to single digits at 9.12.<\/p>\n
DAY AHEAD<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nThere are 42 games on Saturday with a couple of events going on—There will be five games at Kasson-Mantorville in their Showcase. Two sites will be used in the West Metro Classic. Southwest Christian in Chaska and Waconia will each host three games.\u00a0 There are also four games at an event in Colman, SD involving Minnesota teams.<\/p>\n
