North St. Paul MYAS 17u
MINNEAPOLIS SOUTH tigers 59, FRIDLEY tigers 35

In the battle of the undefeated Tigers it was the city variety beating their suburban counterparts 56-38. In so doing, South won the North St. Paul MYAS event. The South defensive heat forced 26 turnovers while only committing 11.

Fridley led in this game early 7-2. After that, South went on a rampage. South finished the half with a 32-11 run. Fridley had a 10 possession drought after the score was tied at 9 and they never recovered. By the time the suburban Tigers scored again, the city Tigers had a 14-0 run in the works. Once South started to roll Fridley hurried their offense taking the first 18 footer that looked open. That only played in to the City Tigers hands. The tempo and pressure belong to South. Then the recriminations started. By that time South was up 34-18 at half time.

After an initial flurry at the start by both teams, Fridley cooled off. They had a 2/17 offensive sequence with droughts of 8 and 5. South had one minor drought of four.

North St. Paul MYAS 17u
MINNEAPOLIS SOUTH tigers 41,
BARNUM bombers 21

In a battle between two runners up in the last high school tournament it was AAAA South beating A Barnum 41-21. South held Barnum scoreless the last 18 possessions of the game after the Bombers took a 21-19 lead. South had four players that played quality minutes on varsity this year with Tyisha Smith an All Conference player. Barnum is young with three 8th graders on their short bench of six. Barnum only one starter (Bushey) and a few that played quality minutes.

Neither team was on fire. Neither team were clicking on offense. South however used their defense and bench to break Barnum in the second half. The first half was tight with Barnum leading early 8-4 after a pair of 3s. South took an 11-10 lead on their own three by Amy Miles and didn't trail the rest of the half. It was only 17-12 at the break. However Barnum had 15 turnovers at half, South only had 6.

A three by Katie Myhre from the left corner put Barnum in the lead at 21-19 with 14:49 left. After that 18 empty possessions as the Barnum legs finally gave way to the unrelenting pressure. South forced four straight turnovers and 15 in the last 18 possessions. For the game Barnum had 33 turnovers. South wasn't immune from droughts even in the second half. They one stretch of six.
