CHAMPLIN PARK SUMMER LEAGUE
MINNETONKA skippers 51, CHAMPLIN PARK rebels 43
Minnetonka took an early lead and never let up in beating the host Rebels in the Champlin Park Summer League. Champlin Park never could climb the mountain. The closest they could get was two points. Minnetonka always had an answer and pulled away at the end. Both were undefeated in this league the week before.
The rules in this league include 20 minute running time halves with shooting fouls worth two points, if the player can make the free throw. One other fact about this game. There are six courts and this game was on court six on the tartan surface with a trap door floor close to the left sideline. Dribblers tried to avoid the area if possible.
Katy Winge opened the scoring for the Skippers and Jill Tichy scored before CP got on the board. That margin was maintained throughout the first half. Winge had 10 points in the first half. Both teams had 10 players so the wave substitution ruled. At one stretch in the first half both teams combined scored seven straight
times. For CP Ali Schmidt had seven assists in the first half. Now I had Minnetonka up 26-20 at half time, the scoreboard had 24-20. I don't know where the discrepancy took place.
Schmidt cut the margin to 24-22 after making the one free throw (worth two points) after a drive. Minnetonka stretched their lead out to 33-26. Just as quickly CP cut the margin to 35-33 after a three by Schmidt. The last time CP trailed by two was at 37-35. After that the Rebels had a 1/5 sequence but Minnetonka kept their offense flowing with four unanswered points. That made the margin six points 43-37 with 5:20 left. CP finished with a 3/10 sequence. The Rebels trailed 45-41 with 1;48 left with another time out. Minnetonka looked to milk the clock and went to the line. CP had two straight passing turnovers to stop any comeback chance.
