ROBINSON MISS BASKETBALL

St. Paul Central's Angel Robinson was named 2007 Miss Basketbal for Minnesota. She is the second player from Central to be named Miss Basketball joining 1979 winner Jean Tierney. Robinson had already picked up the AP, StarTribune, and Pioneer Press players of the year earlier this year. She also was the gbbrecruit POY.
Blake Hoffarber of Hopkins was Mr. Basketball.

COOPER AAU TOURNAMENT
If you haven't checked out my Gabcast of the games earlier today click here. I was expecting to see at least five games today, but it ended up only being three as some teams dropped, and the schedule was pushed forward. That meant the finals of the 15s and 17/19 were held at the same time.
In the games I saw:

Metro Stars 19 beat Quest 56-49 in the 19/17 semifinals

In the 15 semifinals: North Tartan 15 rallied from 8 down with five minutes left to beat Metro Stars 14 56-47. This was really 50-47, in my scribblings my zero looked like a six when I reported this earlier.

In the 17/19 finals it was NC Heat over Metro Stars 19 by the score of 68-55.

I will the out & abouts on these games during the week with Monday the 19/17 semis; Tuesday the 15 semis; and 17/19 final on Wednesday.
