START OF MN FALL LEAGUE
I will be attending the fall league games starting today. I will go to one site, but I probably won't see all the teams at the site. Right now looking at the divisions I am under the impression the the best/most competitive division is divided into colors. Right now I say that is totally incorrect. They say Blue is the top, but Hopkins and Bloomington Kennedy aren't there just to name a few.
My other guess is that the execution (pp100) will be low since most of these teams aren't practicing regularly with solid coaching.
We shall see.

MICHIGAN ACTION
Saginaw Arthur Hill beat Detroit Renaissance in a solid way 59-32. ReShawndra Jackson led the way with 20 points. From the Saginaw News.

Ionia's Kellie Watson had 41 points in a 65-68 overtime loss to Jackson NW. Ionia led by 16 going into the 4th. Maybe part of the problem was Watson fouled out and may have had to park herself on the pine.
There was no story, but you can look at the box from the Grand Rapids Press.

Chelsea outscored Adrian 26-17 in the fourth quarter in a 60-45 win last Thursday.
Saline topped Tecumseh 53-49 in overtime. Tecumseh made it difficult for themselves by not scoring in the first quarter. Both stories from the Adrian Daily Telegram.

Marquette blew out Gladstone 71-19. 11 Marquette players scored a field goal in the fiasco.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Cubans were toasted by Team USA 90-50 in the World Championships in Brazil. Ex Lynx Katie Smith had 6, current Lynx Seimone Augustus had 5. Next up is France.
