SOUTHERN MINNE'S MAGIC
Today it was off to St. Francis to see the 17u MYAS State tournament. Southern Minne Magic won the tournament 54-50 over Triple Threat. They held TT to two points for 10:30 in the second half. SMM trailed 42-30 when the Magic kicked in--they made the Triple Threat offense disappear. TT had droughts of nine and eleven sandwiched around one lonely field goal. So their pp100 during that stretch was 9.5 pp100 and their floor % was .045. TT's cause was hurt by an injury to Teresa Thour in the first half. Thour had 8 points when she went down with an elbow injury going after a loose ball with 2:45 left in the first half.

Earlier in the day Southern Minne Magic beat the Minnesota Lakers, a team made up primarily of players from the Red Rock Conference in southwestern Minnesota. SMM had an early 16-5 lead and that held up the rest of the game as they won 51-42.

Last weekend in the Minnesota State AAU tournament SMM finished 1-2 or in a tie for 13th place out of 2o teams.

Here is the report schedules for the week ahead:
Monday: Northern Lights vs Netmasters (19u)
Tuesday: Gym Rats vs MN Thunder (19u)
Wednesday: Southern Minne Magic vs MN Lakers (17u)
Thursday: Southern Minne Magic vs Triple Threat (17u)
