FRIDAY AFTERNOON GRAB BAG
MINNEHAHA'S WEEK OF UNDEFEATEDS
#4 Minnehaha knocked a couple teams out of the unbeaten ranks this week
Versus New Life, Megan Erlandson led MA to a 75-67 win with 22 points; but nearly as impressive was Jenny Ramey's 18 points on 6 3's and 9th Grade Post Cara Lutes had 16.

Against Richfield last night the Redhawks had very balanced scoring and were able to get Richfield in foul trouble. MA was able to beat the Spartan pressure, while they struggled against MA. Rachel Hansen had 16, Sarah Peterson 15, Ani Johnson 14 and Megan Erlandson 13 for MA. The "Big 3" of Richfield was held in check: Pamela January had 12, Mandy Poke had 10 and Noonan had 7. Their 4th option, Peterson stepped up with 14.

Minnehaha is playing in the Monticello Christmas Tourney. If they can get by Elk River in the first round there is a good shot to play St. Francis in the Final.
