Hannah Linz, Eden Valley-Watkins 32 vs Maple Lake 66-59
Robin Nelson, Brooklyn Center 29 vs St. Bernard's 62-44
Danielle Frank, Caledonia 25 vs Winona Cotter 73-81

Why are so many Minnesota kids listed on the Parade?
1. The length of the games is now 36 minutes and the other states are playing 32. That means that 25 points in 32 minutes can result in 28.12 for 36. Looking at it another way--22.2 points in 32 minutes result in 25 points in 36.
2. I find the information faster, or it is reported better. I do subscribe to newspapers, but they don't reach me until two or more days later. If the papers get the information on line faster, I will get them up here faster.
