MINNESOTA REPORTS
It snowed for the first time yesterday in the Twin Cities Metro area and the weather people just freaked. It was an ordinary snow, but when weather people freak school officials freak and there were postponements and cancellations that probably didn't need to happen. That is what caught St. Paul Johnson in the vortex. St. Paul cancelled all after school activities hence they couldn't get to Woodbury, while Armstrong, in Plymouth could. Weather people need to relax sometimes. The traffic last night wasn't bad when I went to DeLaSalle. You just had to allow for more time and more distance between cars. Not an issue.
AAAA & AAA
I provided you last night with some of the details of those games. Hopkins broke out with a 91 29 thumping of Henry Sibley. Last year HS won on a forfeit due to a Hopkins player being used too often that day between JV & Varsity.
AA
#3 Albany continued to roll as they zipped by Long Prairie-Grey Eagle 88-50. plus other recaps in the St. Cloud Times.
West Central defeated Pelican Rapids 54-35. plus other area recaps from the Fergus Falls Daily Journal.
East Grand Forks broke open a tight half time contest to a rout in a 62-44 win over cross river rival Grand Forks Central. From the GF Herald.
A
Hancock drilled Wadena-Deer Creek 76-51. From the West Central Tribune.
Park Christian tipped Breckenridge 45-41.
Fargo Oak Grove dropped Hillcrest Lutheran 58-32.
Both from the Fargo Forum.
MILESTONES
Nicole Smart of Ada-Borup crossed the 1000 plateau with 27 points in a 82-39 win over Climax-Fisher. She is the 5th AB player to cross the mark, and the 15th MN player to do so this year. She is the first 2009 player this season to make it.
FEATURE
Savannah Sawle and Danielle Ruberg, a pair of 6 footers for Rushford-Peterson, get their own story in the Winona Daily News.
LATE RESULTS
Grand Rapids bumped off Duluth East on Tuesday 53-49. From the Grand Rapids Herald Review.

CONFERENCE NEWS
The Mississippi 8 will be 9 next season with the addition of Zimmerman. Foley has already been accepted into the West Central. Milaca and Mora have been placed by a judge in that league too. Pine City is placed in the Great River. From the Princeton Union Eagle.
IDs NEEDED
Minneapolis is requiring an ID to get into some of their games now. In Michigan things got pretty heated in Saginaw with what was described as a riot early in the fall, and in Detroit right now they play games far from the home schools (western Detroit teams play in Eastern Detroit). From the StarTribune and Detroit News.
