The 67+ is the biggest class average all year. Why today? Five teams were over 80 led by Providence and the 101. Caledonia, Milaca, JWP, Crosby-Ironton were the 80s. Pequot Lakes and Menahga were the lowest at 42 & 41. The next lowest after that was 54 by St. Croix Lutheran. Keeping with that ratio of 80\/40 or 5\/2 for AA; the AAAA ratio was \u00bc; AAA 1\/3; A 0\/3.<\/p>\n

ABOUT LAST NIGHT\u2026\u2026#5AAA Orono v #1AAA Marshall<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nFor the second straight day I charted the end of a undefeated streak. Orono has been on a tear lately and Saturday they knocked off the second straight AAA squad that was ranked above them. Thursday it was Benilde-St. Margaret\u2019s; Saturday it was #1 Marshall. The Spartans and Tigers met at the home of the Delano Tigers. Orono traveled 16 minutes to reach Delano; Marshall journeyed 2 hours and 19 minutes.<\/p>\n
It seems that every game I have charted lately, OK the last three specifically, has the same story line. Team A builds a healthy lead only to see Team B storm back. Thursday Goodhue hung on for the win; Friday Mayer Lutheran got the comeback victory; Saturday it was Orono\u2019s turn to hang on. The game got to crunch\/clutch time and the Spartans survived thanks to Mya Moore. The Creighton-bound 2000-point scorer added to her mark with eight of the last nine Orono points in a 59-56 win at the Breakdown event at Delano Saturday afternoon. Orono was riding high at 50-38 after a 9-0 surge with only 7 minutes remaining. But the same clutch Mya Moore, added too many fouls to remain on the floor and had to spend time on the pine. Marshall snapped out of their offensive blues and went on an 18-6 tear to knot the game at 56. It started with Bigler grabbing a rebound and scoring the full court lay-up & one. The next possession, Avery Fahl delivered a three from up top. That twelve-point lead was now down to six. Marshall\u2019s d cranked it up forcing three turnovers in the next five Orono possessions. Marshall kept attacking the rim and tied it up with 46.3 ticks left on #24\u2019s steal and layup. Sydney Bauer was fouled on the left block and made what would be the game winning free throw. On the next Marshall possession, the Tigers tried two more drives but were thwarted twice on the left side with Bauer blocking both attempts. Mya Moore was fouled with 5.1 left and added two insurance points with a pair of free throws. Marshall\u2019s long distance contested three was deflected to preserve the victory.<\/p>\n
For the game Marshall\u2019s 36-29 advantage on boards did not secure the win. The Tigers had a 41.7% offensive rebound mark to 27.6% for the Spartans. Marshall had four more free throws attempted and three more made than Orono. Orono was better with the ball (barely) with 20 turnovers to 23. The Spartans coughed it up every 17.8 touches, better than the 14.5 of Marshall. One big separation in the game was the shooting percentages. Orono was hot with 58.62% from 2s at 17\/29 and solid 6\/20 from 3s (but only one conversion in the second half). Marshall was not hot at the start with only 28.7 in the first half. It got better, but not nearly the level of Orono. For the game the Tigers were 14\/33 or 42.4%<\/p>\n
The one area that Orono dominated was scoring off the bench. Starters alone Marshall \u201cwon\u201d 56-46. If you notice 56 was the Tigers final totals. Orono had 13 points off the bench to help secure the win. Also, Orono\u2019s starters delivered 97.9 pp100 to 86.2 for Marshall. So even though the totals were smaller, they were more efficient. Part of that separation has to do with Orono\u2019s length on defense.<\/p>\n
As for the crunch\/clutch performances the teams responded better than they did most of the game as the sense of urgency was palpable. Marshall checked in with 133.3, fifty points better than the 83.6 they had for the game and almost doubled their sluggish first half effort of 70.6. Orono \u201clost\u201d the crunch time point battle 12-9, but they definitely responded with a 112.5 pp100, again better than the 88.1 pp100 for the game.<\/p>\n
The individuals you would expect to produce in crunch time did. Mya Moore scored eight of her game high 23 points with a pp100 of 200 in that four-minute stretch. Taleigha Bigler had six points in crunch time of the dozen Tiger total. Both made the 31 Club. Moore right on the nose with 31. Bigler was two better at 33. Moore scored 23 with 5 d stops and three distributions. Even though the d stops were not that high perhaps, her presence on the floor was a distraction to the Marshall ball handlers. She attempted 16 set up passes. Bigler had 22 points with 8 d stops and also had three distributions on ten set ups.<\/p>\n
UNBEATEN<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nHeading into last week 11 teams were unblemished. Heading into this next week there are now six. AAAA has been empty for a while. A joined them this week with Hillcrest Lutheran falling on Thursday to WHN and Sleepy Eye St. Mary\u2019s dropping to Mayer Lutheran on Friday. I charted that game and then charted Marshall\u2019s exit off the list as they lost to Orono on Saturday at Delano. That leaves just one remaining in AAA—Monticello. Three AA teams fell by the wayside with all three succumbing on the Friday Night Massacre: KMS lost to MACCRAY; Sauk Centre lost at Minnewaska; and Menahga lost to Rock Ridge.<\/p>\n
Can any class remain unblemished? Right now, AA has the best crack. Providence has been mowing down opponents including ranked AAAA squads.<\/p>\n

STREAKING<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nThere are new leaders in AAA and A with the unbeaten teams taking one on the chin. The last unbeaten in AAA\u2014Monticello—takes the lead there. Two teams share the top spot in A, Spring Grove and Mountain Iron-Buhl. Cromwell-Wright faces MIB Thursday with 7A seeding implications. SG has two games this week, one against Decorah, IA.<\/p>\n
The one team that is staying on the list that may be a surprise is unranked AAAA Owatonna with 13 straight wins. \u00a0Four of their wins in this streak have been by five points or less (clutch\/crunch time category) including both wins this week against Red Wing (51-46) and Austin (54-52).<\/p>\n
Providence has been roaring along now with 30 straight wins across two seasons. Three games await this week including ranked Hill-Murray on Friday.<\/p>\n

SEEDING THE STATE<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nThe door keeps revolving in AAA. Orono with statement wins over Benilde-St. Margaret\u2019s (their second) and #1 ranked Marshall propels the Spartans to the top slot this week. The other three top spots remain the same. Class A sees the most adjustments below #1 Goodhue.<\/p>\n

The Saturday window drops to only 24. The last Breakdown event takes place at Alexandria with their Winter Lakes Classic. Three games await in that boy\/girl combined event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
