MINNESOTA REPORTS
TRANSFER
Kara Elofson of Breck is coming to Hopkins next year. The 5-10 Elofson averaged 16.6 ppg last season. Breck is also losing coach Ray Finley.

The Pioneer Press has an editorial in favor of the new transfer rule and tells the "201 referees at the Capitol" to stay out of the issue.

Brittany Hansen, New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva was named player of the year.
I did not find a link for the rest of the team in the Albert Lea Tribune.

The Heart O'Lakes has released their AC list and Erica Nord of Barnesville is the MVP. From the Fergus Falls Daily Journal.

If you have an AC list that hasn't been put up yet send it to me and I will get it up.

OFF TO COLLEGE
DeLaSalle's Rachel Booth is looking forward to the challenges at St. Cloud State. From the St. Cloud Times.

ODDS & ENDS
Now that the girls have seeded the tournament in AAA and AAAA the boys are going to dip their toes in the seeding water, but they don't have the courage to seed 1-8. They will only seed 1-4.

Did anyone else notice that ALL championship teams wore white and sat to the right of the scorers table in both the girls and boys tournament? Is there a jinx?

Thanks for All the support and information from the basketball community.
