YEAR IN REVIEW
Here is a look back at significant, and ordinary events in the past 12 months. By no means is it comprehensive, but it gives you a whirlwind tour of what went on, what I saw the last 12 months.

JANUARY
No game was stranger than the White Bear Lake 51-48 win over Park-Cottage Grove on the 9th.
Winona Cotter met Crookston midway at the College of St. Benedict. Both teams were 1 and 2 in the AA polls (Crookston was #1) and Cotter came away with the win 58-56. However neither team advanced to the state tournament.
Champlin Park trailed Centennial by 17 and still managed to beat the Cougars 80-76.

FEBRUARY
The first three days in February (and the 31st of January) had the most compelling games all year. It started off with Minneapolis North upsetting South 79-76. The next day Jordan beat Norwood-Young America in a 64-60 overtime game in the Minnesota River conference. On Friday Minnetonka beat Hopkins in overtime 71-64 in the Classic Lake. The week was capped off by Holy Angels victory over DeLaSalle on Saturday 62-58. DeLaSalle would turn the tables in the section final. South would turn the tables on North a week later. Jordan would beat NYA again in the state 3rd place game. The odd thing about all four games---the visiting team was victorious.
The most crowded gymnasium was at Hayfield when Cotter came to town. Coach Teas & I got there at half time of the B game and were lucky to get a seat. Cotter won 57-47.

MARCH
Blaine pulled off the stunner against Centennial in the 7AAAA semis 73-62. Centennial is no longer in that section.
Four state champions were crowned with powerhouse St. Paul Central leaving no doubt that they were the best the state had seen in a 81-63 win over Mpls South in an all City final in AAAA, a first time happening.
In AAA Becker's Rey Robinson hit the shot that made them state champs over DeLaSalle 41-39.
AA had controversy swirling around the last shot. Pipestone won the title on a disputed three over Albany 50-49.
In class A Fulda repeated with a 42-34 win over Hancock.

APRIL
AAU Season kicked off seriously on April Fool's day in the Iowa State tournament.
Iowa Elite upset All Iowa Attack 62-60 in the semifinals. IBCA Select won the title over Elite 68-55.
Also the door swung shut on transfers. If players wanted to transfer they had to get the paperwork done before April 1, or change residences.

MAY
Controversy swirled around the seeding process at the Forest Lake event. Two of the top teams met early Saturday morning with NC Heat beating MN Stars Hested 63-55. North Tartan Larson topped the Heat in the semis in two overtimes on a three by Hannah Linz 65-64. Everyone assumed that was the championship game, but the real championship was to come and the MN Stars Borowicz shocked the world with its 62-55 win.

JUNE
The Minnesota State AAU Tournament belonged to NC Heat. They had to survive the semifinal overtime win over MN Stars Hested 80-71. NC Heat got their revenge on North Tartan Larson in the championship 77-61.
North Tartan Larson would bounce back and beat MN Stars Hested in the finals of the Summer Jam 75-53.
In Sioux Falls Courtney Boylan and the Metro Stars Black started to click. They won the Dakota Showcase with wins over the Kansas City Hustle 51-41 (Boylan had 26); the All Iowa Attack in the semis 59-51 (I only charted the 2nd half and she had 11); and a thriller overtime game against ECI Gold West 59-55 (10).

JULY
The Metro Stars Black success kept rolling into July with the championship title in the Mid American Tournament. MSB beat MN Stars Hested 59-52 to cap a wild two week ride. There were camps, summer leagues, and the last AAU tournament--the North Tartan Meltdown had a game that wasn't in the tournament brackets, but drew the most attention. North Tartan Larson beat the eventual tournament winner IBCA Select 60-50.

AUGUST
Centennial steamrolled opposition in the Sweet 16. They opened with a 70-30 win over Rogers. They beat Albany (I didn't chart that game) in the quarters. Centennial beat Becker in the semis 54-48. Then they left no doubt in the championship win over St. Paul Central 79-55.

SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER
Fall Leagues were in operation and so were the Fall showcase events. The new trend is younger and younger commitments and Bloomington Kennedy Sophomore Shakila Boler made a verbal to the Gophers. Minnesota also picked up two big verbals with 6-7 Amber Dvorak of Hinckley-Finlayson and 6-4 Katie Loberg of Princeton. As it was there were over 54 verbals from Minnesota. From the area there were 39 for the 2008 class to D1 schools.

NOVEMBER
The season started off with a bang with #1 St. Paul Central and #2 Centennial meeting in the finals of the Hamline tournament. Centennial, behind Megan Nipe's 32 points, rallied to beat the defending AAAA champs 60-56.

DECEMBER
Teams were playing at a higher level than a year ago. The pp100 had improved across the board, but it skyrocketed in the AAAA class. Also skyrocketing were fouls. Perhaps the increase in fouls led to increased free throws which helped the pp100.
08 81.42 pp100, .396 floor %
07 78.6 pp100; .383 floor %
AAAA 08 86.71, .423 floor %
AAAA 07 83.7, .408 floor %
Also the highlights of December include the blizzard I drove through to watch one game. Other teams bailed from Fergus Falls, but I made up and back without once seeing the ditch.
2007 closed with Hopkins winning their own tournament with a 68-62 win over Minneapolis South.

Whew, what a year. Here is hoping 2008 can live up the drama and twists.

The Week That Was: Holiday Hoopla

#6 posting 12.30.2007

The Week That Was: Holiday Hoopla
2007 is over with a rush of tournaments. More unbeaten teams fell by the wayside when they matched up in the annual events. Only two undefeated teams remain standing in AAAA #1 Centennial and St. Francis. In AAA Worthington doesn’t have a loss yet. Five class AA teams remain, and three are left in A.
The structure of this year favored a Thursday-Friday-Saturday tournament which eliminated one of my choices for a tournament. Other years I made it to four 8 team events.

But now I can enjoy more that a hot dog and a diet for my dinner. I needed to take out a loan to eat in Rochester. Every tournament treated us, the new media, well. However Hopkins gets a special commendation with their hospitality. They provided a media room with sandwiches for hard working reporters. They had wayzataresults.com with down to the minute stats. CommunityHoops has 9 games with play by play, and they also have interviews. Also they were the only tournament with three referees, the others only put two on the floor.

WHICH TOURNAMENT WAS BETTER?
Looking at the pp100 and floor % for the four tournaments I attended it should come no surprise with the results. Hands down it was Hopkins. They had an outstanding field with four teams in the top 10 in AAAA. Rochester had four top 10 teams, 2 in AAAA, 1 in AAA, and 1 in AA, but the execution, even with the consolation teams but them above the board.
Tournament, ave points; possessions; pp100; floor %;
Hopkins 60.3, 67.8, 88.93, .411
Apple Valley 57.63, 68.0, 84.59, .407
2007-08 AVERAGE 57.2, 70.0, 81.42, .396
Rochester 53.7, 67.0, 80.22, .379
Mounds Park 52.75, 70.3, 75.09, .363
Discounting the Mounds Park tournament, which was a four team AA tournament, you can see that Hopkins clearly had an advantage an average 4.34 pp100 better average than Apple Valley. It is interesting to note that Rochester is under the average across the board.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE BIG 9/ROCHESTER
The skill level is just not the same as the metro teams. Remember the only Rochester team to make it to the semis was Lourdes who beat a like class team (Albany) who is not a metro team. Once upon a time the Big 9 was a force in girl’s basketball. They had Rochester Mayo winning the state tournament back in ’95 and ’97. Owatonna finished second in the AAA tournament in ’99. But since then the Big 9 has been a stranger to the top 10 lists. Rochester Mayo made the state tournament in 2006, but as a whole that conference has slipped behind the Metro powers. It is not a cyclical problem either. This is a structural, systemic issue. The critical mass in the Twin Cities makes it the center of the basketball universe in Minnesota. To improve the Big 9 (and for that matter the Central Lakes Conference) they need ramp up the off season teams. I know a few are playing but the majority of schools don’t have many players on the upper echelon teams. Just playing more at a higher level is the first step. Until that time the State AAAA tournament will be a Metro Invitational.

As far as the Rochester tournament itself they probably should only have the better Rochester teams involved. Century was way over matched. If they want a Rochester team making the event, they should invite more class AA teams and eliminate the Metro powers from the field.

Also the calls had me scratching my head. Conspiracy or coincidence? The better players were saddled with fouls in the first two games. Cassie Rochel had at least one foul that was marginal, but she had to sit. Jackie Voigt had two that puzzled me. They both deserved to be on the floor, not on the pine. Beat the best with the best on the floor, not with phantom calls.

NEW TRENDS
A couple of trends were evident this weekend. #1 the platoon system (five in, five out) is now being used by more than Providence. Lakeville North uses it. Blaine went five further using 15 players in the first half. Other teams are using 10 in the first half, even if they don’t go with the wave.
Why is it happening? Perhaps to keep players interested involved, motivated and make practices much more competitive. Maybe to keep parents at bay.
Every situation is a bit different. I used the wave when I was coaching at the younger traveling levels and in the BCI. I tried to balance the units when in those situations.
This is impacting my choices for team of the week. With about 70 possessions a game for a team it seems it would be 7 players could have 10 possessions. Now, with 10 players you are looking at 7 possessions. Some players were left with their nose against the window when it comes to picking team of the week.
#3 Missing in Action. There were a couple of players missing the holiday hoop-la-la. Pamela January of Richfield was on vacation, while Marney Ferrara, a starting guard for Osseo missed the entire tournament due to a soccer camp. Both probably would have had an impact in their games, but it was also an opportunity for some players to step up and pull a Lou Gehrig (to the Wally Pipp).

TEAM OF THE WEEK
For the first time this year we have a duplicate winner—Hopkins. They survived a challenge from feisty Burnsville in the quarters. The Royals straightened out for the semis and then faced a new section rival Minneapolis South with their ferocious threesome guard, Hill, Holmes and Smith. They withstood the heat, maintained their composure and showed grit themselves in the upset 68-62 win in the championship. The Hopkins bench stepped up and did what they needed to do. There is a great chance these two will meet in March for the right to go to state. This is a good confidence booster for the battles to come. The shame of it is it will be a section game and not a state tournament contest.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Stephanie Sension of Hopkins was a difference maker inside as the Royals took their own tourney title. She was named MVP of the event. Sension ended up with 19 points and 8 boards. She also did a good job of finding the open perimeter when being doubled down. She attacked the basket with authority. Her feet and hands help give her an edge over other posts. Her ball handling is another asset. She started her basketball career as a guard. She would like to step out and face the basket, but she importance inside can not be overstated. Defensively she is getting more physical in the lane and changes a lot of shots.

WEEKLY TEAM
Rule #1--I need to see player during the week. And the player may have had great games when I wasn’t watching. Or they may have not shined when I was there. The only important factor---produce when I watch.
Rule #2---Player needs to have a minimum of 10 possessions. I talked about this earlier today.
Rule#3---Player needs to be north of 100 pp100 and .500 floor %, If no one can make that level, I start dipping down.
Rule#4---winning helps.
Warning #1--This is performance ratings and not necessarily that Player A is better than Player B. However during the course of the year the cream will rise to the top and the better players will deliver day in and night out.

Now with the multitude of games I can make four teams this week.
FIRST TEAM
Tayler Hill, Minneapolis South
Brittnye McSperron, Eastview
Sarah Nohrenberg, Park-Cottage Grove
Stephanie Sension, Hopkins
Taylor Young, Edina
SECOND TEAM
Aaryn Booker, DeLaSalle
Molly Duehn, Burnsville
Serenae Levin, Eden Prairie
Laura Melquist, Rochester Lourdes
Sarah Wiens, Burnsville
THIRD TEAM
Molly Geske, Cretin-Derham Hall
Meme Hudnell, DeLaSalle
Kristen Luebbe, Rochester Lourdes
Carissa Wolyniec, DeLaSalle
Samantha Zopfi, Providence
FOURTH TEAM
Ruby Harvey, St. Paul Arlington
Arianne Johnson, Tartan
Abby Kenealy, Farmington
Chiamaka Okonkwo, Osseo
Olivia Rowland, Providence

DEFENSIVE TEAM
Captain of the defense this week is Meme Hudnell of DeLaSalle. She has the quickness and intensity and played with control and fire. She didn’t pick up fouls and remained composed.
Meme Hudnell, DeLaSalle
Sam Larsen, Albany
Laura Melquist, Rochester Lourdes
Jamie Noonan, Richfield
Mandy Poke, Richfield



NEWCOMER
Ruby Harvey is a sophomore at St. Paul Arlington. She is a rangy, lean, athletic perimeter. She runs the floor very well. She also has 3 range. She has good basketball instincts. Her passing is snappy, deceptive and she has a flair for the game.

HOPKINS TOURNAMENT
CHAMPIONSHIP
HOPKINS royals 68
MINNEAPOLIS SOUTH tigers 62

#6 AAAA Hopkins upset #3 AAAA Minneapolis South 68-62 in the 2nd annual Dick's Sporting Goods Holiday Classic in a classic. This game was important for seeding in section 6AAAA. It was South's first loss of the year. South was rated #10 in the nation according to MaxPreps.

I will be giving a full account on this game. Most of the week I was giving bare bones reports. This deserves full treatment.

Ephesia Holmes opened scoring with a three on the left side on South's first possession. Jenna Lillemoe answered on the very next Hopkins with an old fashioned three. The first game changer happened at 15:05 of the first half when Tyisha Smith picked up her second foul. That put her on the pine. South led 11-8 with 12:47 left after a drive by Holmes. Hopkins then went on an 8-0 run to lead 16-11. That only took three possessions. Hanna Muegge and Kara Elofson both had old fashioned three point plays sandwiching a pair of free throws by Stephanie Sension. Hopkins went to the bonus at 11:38. South came back with two scores on one possession to make it 16-14. There were two more ties, the last coming at 20 all. Hopkins closed out the half with an 8-2 run and led 28-22 at the break.

Hopkins tested the lead at 31-24 after a Caitlin Rowland three. Tyisha Smith was playing after sitting out most of the first half. The whirlwind made instant impact on the game with her defensive presence. She nailed a three and on the next possession scored on a drive & one. That cut the margin to 33-30. Elofson scored four straight for Hopkins to push the margin back to 37-30. Her first points was also the last time South's Gabrielle Roberts was on the floor. She picked up her fourth, and before substitute Mallory Cramer made it to the scorer's table Roberts added her fifth. All this happened with 14:00 to go.

South fought back. They had their own 7 point run. Tayler Hill had five of the points including a three. The next three possessions Hopkins scored to regain control of the game 43-37. Elofson scored the basket and was fouled. The closest South would get was 45-41. Hopkins had a five possession scoring spree to go up 55-44 on a 12-3 run. Brianna Williams had all five of her points at this juncture. South couldn't gain traction as Hopkins matched any potential surge. Hopkins finished with a 5/6 sequence. South finished the game 6/8. Tayler Hill hit two 3s in the last 15 seconds to cut the margin to six.

This concludes the second day of the four game tournaments. Normally you would see a lot more story/analysis. Right now I am trying to keep my nostrils above water. It is like trying to digest four Thanksgiving meals in one day. Coach Teas has been taking photos. I will get them up later. I have my detailed notes. I might revist these stories for quick liners. But now I need my sleep. It is 12:35 am on Saturday and there is another four game event tomorrow.
