MINNESOTA REPORTS
final edition
There were a few upsets last night in the sections. Two #1s had their seasons end.
In Class A there is now only one unbeaten team left as Battle Lake fell to Ashby 50-47.
In AA section 8 #3W East Grand Forks took revenge on #2W Hawley 47-40. Last Friday Hawley beat EGF. But a #1 went down in the 8AA east side unheralded Warroad topped #1E Crosby-Ironton 48-45.
In AAAA #7 seed Blaine upended #2 Forest Lake 52-47.
AAAA
7: #7 Blaine rallied from a five point halftime deficit to beat host #2 Forest Lake 52-47. On Sunday I mentioned Blaine was a dangerous #7. Blaine has a history of playoff upsets. This is the second year in a row that Blaine has pulled a shocker. Last year they ended Centennial's run in the old 7AAAA. This year Centennial is in 5AAAA.

AAA
5: #1 Rogers opened post season play with their 100th win in the schools history as they beat Monticello 65-25.

#2 Becker beat Dassel-Cokato 68-39. plus other results from the St. Cloud Apollo.

AA
6: #1E Albany beat BBE 82-52. I have a little report on that now, and will back fill the numbers later. The St. Cloud Times has their version up now.
#2E New London-Spicer beat #3E Sauk Centre 42-37. The first paragraph in the West Central Tribune is quite wrong. SC DID NOT have a 38-29 lead. It is hard to have 38 and then lose a point during the game. I will have my report up later.
In the West it was Minnewaska beating Benson 46-32. From the West Central Tribune.

8: In the west side #1 Crookston avoided an overtime scenario with DGF 82-60. #3 East Grand Forks turned a loss six days ago into a 47-40 win over #2 Hawley. From the Fargo Forum.

A
6: #1N Ada-Borup beat New York Mills 83-49. Lake Park-Audubon beat Norman County West 65-56. From the Fargo Forum.

It was in the South that #1 Battle Lake took a tumble to Ashby 50-47. #2 Hancock beat Brandon-Evansville 74-61. Missed free throws loomed large. From the Fergus Falls Daily Journal.

8: The Bemidji Pioneer has the 8A East quarterfinal results.

TODAY'S BEST BETS:
The 3A finals in both North and South subsections take place at SW MN State. Minneota takes on RTR in the north half, while Adrian plays SW Star in the south.
