APPLE VALLEY FALL LEAGUE
HILL-MURRAY pioneers 25, EDINA hornets 22
No, that is not the half time score.
Hill-Murray won this game as both teams played a physical brand of ball with nothing easily given up. Defense won out over offensive execution. The offenses were not static as both teams moved, cut, set screens. The ball just didn't drop and second chances were few and far between.
Hill-Murray started out with a 7-4 advantage after their first five possessions which translates into a 140.0 pp100 rate, but that was just a false spring. The cold winds and frosty shooting percentages blew in. If you discounted the first five possessions, HM finished the game with a pp100 of 38.3. HM suffered through droughts of nine and 12 with only one score sandwiched between the two. That was an icy 1/22 possession string with an equally icy pp100 of .045. Brrrrr. Edina also had the case of the frostbite. The Hornets worst drought was only five and they held a slim 14-13 lead at half as they closed the first half on a 6-0 run.
The temps, at least for offense, were still frigid to start the second half.
Edina suffered through an 8 possession drought. HM took advantage of the Hornets down time with four points and that 17-14 lead held up the rest of the way. HM stretched the margin out to 25-17 after a Rochelle Cichy trey with 8 minutes left. That was the end of HM scoring for the game. But with running time that lead held up. HM failed to score on their last 8 possessions. Edina did score five more points to close to 25-22. At that point HM went into their delay freeze. The Hornets did have three more cracks to tie, but their attempts went for naught.
