TOURNAMENT RECAP

AAA
1: Lakeville South beat Faribault 68-41. This is Lakeville South's first year as a school and, as I stated in yesterday's Section preview, will be one that needs to be watched. They beat the #2 seed New Prague on D6 51-45. That was their only non AAAA opponent all year. Lakeville South is #8 in the 1AAA seedings.

Next up: out & About--I wanted to be in Marshall for the 3A North semifinals, but my blood has been too high due to drive through meals. I will be attending a game closer to home, but I don't think it will be as dramatic.
