I don't think there will be 19 postings today. Posting should get back to normal (somewhat). It is still a busy time of the summer.

13U AAU TOURNAMENT
The Midtown Lady Monarchs lost to Mission Rec Center out of San Francisco 73-63 in the Elite 8 13u AAU girls basketball tournament. They now move to the championship loser's bracket and will face Missouri Valley Eclipse today.

The MN Lady Suns and St. Paul Central advanced to the semifinals in the Classic Championship bracket. The Suns beat the Missouri Valley Cyclones 66-51; and St. Paul Central beat the Houston Cobras 55-51.

in the Classic Loser's Bracket the Mpls Lady Cats rolled to a 73-32 win over Maryland Waves Carter and now face the Houston Cobras.

TRANSFERS
Here a couple of transfers I saw last night
Megan Erlandson is now at Minnehaha. She was at Concordia Roseville before.
Brittany Dorsey has moved back to Minnesota and will be at St. Paul Central. This will be her third team in three years. She was at St. Paul Highland Park two years ago, and moved to Saginaw Arthur Hill in Michigan last year.
This makes 8 transfers (that have are known at this point).
If you know of any others--email me.

FUNDAMENTALS
Former WNBA player Holly Rilinger has a few videos with footwork fundamentals up on PodcastGo. She has five fundamentals up and they last slightly over a minute.

SCRAPBOOK
Katelin Oney, Cedar Rapids Washington and IBCA Select I, has an online scrapbook. This is a great idea to keep memories and document a career, but also a way to get noticed, and keep colleges informed on a career.
