your daily dose of girls basketball news & information

Post Thanksgiving Tournaments begin today in Minnesota. The prime time matchup: AAAA State champion Hopkins vs. St. Paul Central with their loaded lineup. This could be a preview of the AAAA finals in March.
There are three players that have made D1 choices on those squads, and I think there could easily be four to five potential D1 players. Those making commitments are Jackie Hiebert from Hopkins (Ohio) and from St. Paul Central Angel Robinson (Marquette) and 2008's Kiara Buford who has already verballed Minnesota. The first game features Mpls North and Centennial. Action begins at six pm.
