MN Fall League Week 2
Blue Division, Armstrong HS
Lakeville South 43, Armstrong 38

The second game featured a team from the Lake (Lakeville South) vs the Classic Lake (Armstrong). LS came out and scored on three possessions in a row early in the game. LS led 8-3 with Jennie Kalbfell scoring four. Armstrong was rather cold starting out 1/10 in their possessions. It should be noted that two players, Ali Gordon, the point guard from last year and Amanada Viehauser, the new transfer from Mpls Washburn, did not play in this game. In the PC game (I got there with about half the game to go) Gordon did not play, but Viehauser did, but didn't have a lot of buckets. With Viehauser out the main post that they had was Stephanie Loobeck. But she was injured in the middle of the first half as the play became quite physical. She got locked up with one of the Kalbfell's and damaged her shoulder it looked like. At least that is where the ice pack went. She was injured on Jennie Kalbfell's steal and lay up to make it 15-9 LS. Armstrong finished the half with 1/12 possessions, LS was in the neighborhood with 1/6 and led 18-11 at the break.

After Armstrong scored the first basket of the second half they went into hibernation (again). They didn't score on their next 8 possessions. There were 3 turnovers in the mix, but mainly it was just bad shooting. LS again kept pace with the ice cold shooting going 0/7 and 1/9 to start the half. But then LS clicked. They scored on five straight possessions and they went on an 11-6 run to push the score to 32-19. Jennie Kalbfell had four points in the run. #40 (if you have the roster send it to me so I can get the names up) had five including a 3. That 13 point lead was to be LS's high water mark. Armstrong scored 7 unanswered points to cut the margin to 32-25. Then LS scored on three possessions, but only made one free throw on two to make it 36-25. That is when Armstrong got out it's 3ball. #22 Dooher? hit two 3s in a row to cut the game to 36-31. Jennie K scored on a drive for LS to make it 38-31. Armstrong was in the midst of a 5/6 scoring spree to end the game. They canned three 3s (counting Dooher's) including Marschner's to make the score 40-36. Jennie K came back with two free throws to increase the margin. With time winding down LS won 43-38.

You can see the Armstrong's floor % was sub 300. They kept in the game, or made a game of it, by using the 3 ball. They connected on all five in the second half. LS was more aggressive going to the glass and making FT.

Later in the day LS led Chaska by five at half. At the end of the game Chaska won by 13.
After that Chaska played Centennial White and lost Courtney Boylan to an anlkle. After she left Centennial White went on a tear. These game reports from a reliable source.
