FRIDAY AFTERNOON GRAB BAG
DEVELOPING PLAYERS
The TrueHoop blog has a discussion on teams and player development. This focuses on the NBA, but for any team it could be true. The last paragraph in that column is the key. Required reading.

SUCCESSFUL COACHING QUALITIES
This article comes from the Creston News Advertiser. In it columnist Larry Peterson looks at the qualities successful coaches possess. All sorts of coaches--college and high school--in all different sports are examined. Again required reading.

ANOTHER BLOG
Those that want to keep up with former Gopher Janel McCarville can do so with her blog.

MINNESOTA
The Rochester Post Bulletin looks at the fast start by Alex Montgomery of Cannon Falls.

St. Cloud Apollo rallied to beat Brainerd 64-61. Sebeka rolled Pillager 68-42 both in the Brainerd Dispatch.

Prior Lake lost two games last week. From the Prior Lake American.

Chaska beat Burnsville on Thursday 74-67. From the Chaska Herald and Savage Pacer.

International Falls beat Cook 45-39. From the IF Daily Journal.

Glenville-Emmons topped MN Deaf 48-35. From the Albert Lea Tribune.

New York Mills and Perham are previewed in the Perham Enterprise.

MICHIGAN
Ludington romped over Newaygo 74-16. Mason County Eastern beat Onekama 53-38 plus other results in the Ludington Daily News.

POINT PARADE
In order to make the list these are the requirements:
In MN a player has to have 25 or more
In the other states the minimum is 22 or more.
This is because other state do not play 36 minute games, only 32 minute contests.
I will have the lists the day after (Wednesday morning for Tuesday Night action).
If I am missing players, by all means get them to me so I can correct the list.

next up: an out and about tonight.
