It’s Eastview all the way in 4ABy Bruce Strand

Just how confident were the Eastview girls this year? Well, in the state finals, the Lightning trailed 25-12 against a superb Hopkins team led by the state’s best player, but they barely flinched. Unbeaten and unfazed, Eastview quickly pulled even with the Royals, en-gaged them in a fierce battle through the second half and emerged with a 68-63 vic-tory for the Class 4A cham-pionship and a 32-0 ledger.

“We just had to stay com-posed. We know we can fight back and go on a run,” said Megan Walstad, who led the champions with 20 points.

Their coach, Molly Kasper, had full faith in her diligent, poised, finely-tuned squad,. “I have not been nervous for any game,” Kasper said. “I know we will play hard on defense, I know we will play together, I know we will make the extra pass, and other than that, so what more can a coach control?” Kasper seldom calls time-outs because “I don’t believe anyone can stay with us for 36 minutes.” All that said, she saluted Hopkins (28-4), whom they also beat 66-56 in December. “It was a battle. I told the team they (Hop-kins) were going to throw some punches and we had to put up a fist to block.”

Paige Bueckers, Hopkins’ silky soph guard, torched Eastview for 37 points, but it wasn’t enough. “At the end of the day, they just outplayed us,” said Bueckers. “I’m glad that we played hard right to the final buzzer.”

That they did. Hopkins, down 64-58 with 1:40 left, pulled within 64-63 with Dlayla Chakolis sinking two free shots and battling for a rebound basket. Macy Guebert delivered two free shots for Eastview with 28 seconds left. With the clock winding down, Hopkins’ Raeana Suggs lofted a three-point attempt that bounced high and rolled around the rim — then fell away. The rebound was batted out of bounds and awarded to East-view with :04 left. Emma Carpenter, fouled with less than a second left, made two freebies for the final mar-gin, and the celebration began.

No Class 4A team has ever been more accustomed to state pressure than Eastview, making its seventh con-secutive trip. They’ve been champs twice, second once, third three times, and fourth once, a composite 16-5 re-cord. The 2014 title came under coach Melissa Guebert.

Along with Walstad — the senior forward shot 7-for-10 from the field and 5-for-6 at the line, and snagged seven rebounds — the Lightning had senior Mariah Alipate with 15 points and nine rebounds, and freshman Cassidy Carson with 11 points. Junior guard Guebert added nine points, senior Andrea Abrams seven and junior Carpenter six as the Lightning shot 21-for-42 from the floor and 22-for-26 at the line.

Hopkins coach Brian Cosgriff praised the champions. “They did a lot of nice things in their

half-court set and they have five legit players on the court — and then that No. 25 (Cassidy) comes off the bench and hits an NBA three that was a real dagger.”

Bueckers, the state’s most coveted prospect, shot 14-for-23 (3-for-4 on three’s) and 6-for-8 at the line. “We know that Paige is phenomenal and she will probably play in the WNBA,” Kasper acknowledged. “She is go-ing to hit some fantastic shots.” Chakolis provided 15 points and seven rebounds. Suggs was next with nine points for Hopkins, which shot 23-for-53 and 12-for-15.

Eastview advanced to the finals beating Prior Lake 78-44 with Alipate hitting 21 points and Walstad 20, and Lakeville North 57-47 as Abrams sank 16 points and Alipate 14. Hopkins got there blitzing Forest Lake 74-38 with Suggs netting 23 and Chakolis 18, then Rose-ville 61-34 behind Bueckers’ 21 and Amaya Battle’s 13.

If Eastview coaches were aiming high, so were the girls.“When we asked for goals at the start of the sea-son,” Kasper reports, “they said, ‘Well, let’s win every game!’ We said, OK, that’s a good goal, but how about some smaller ones first.” But they reached them all.

A super duper Cooper seasonBy Bruce Strand

Robbinsdale Cooper thoroughly enjoyed its first-ever state tournament trip, and not for the standard just-happy-to-be-here mantra.

These newbies entered state expecting to win it, and expected by others to win, and they won it — capped by a 49-37 conquest of Northfield in the Class 3A championship.

“We’ve got hustle and we’ve got heart,” proclaimed Aja Wheeler, junior guard who led with 15 points and seven steals.

It helped to be guided by a young coach who won two state crowns herself as a player. “It’s a lot more stressful as a coach,” smiled Kiara Buford, former St. Paul Central and Gophers star, in her fourth year at Cooper. “But it’s so much fun to watch the the girls grow, and set goals and achieve them.”

It also helped that they finally got out of Class 4A, where their section included behemoths Hopkins and Wayza-ta. This was their first year in 3A. “We could have still competed in 4A,” chirped Wheeler.

Cooper, ranked No. 1, finished 29-2 with 24 consecu-tive wins, losing only to top-five Class 4A teams Hop-kins and Centennial, in December. “Everything fell into place from day one this season,” Buford said. “I know it sounds cliche, but I think this was meant to be.”

Northfield saluted Cooper’s fierce man-to-man defense. “Cooper’s defense was great, and it was a very physi-cal game,” coach Tony Mathison said, “which usually leads low shooting percentages like tonight, 28 and 31 percent.” Added 6-2 center Annika Hoff, held to seven points” “We don’t see defense like that in the Big Nine.”

Cooper’s big edge was turnovers, extracting the ball from Northfield 20 times (with 11 steals) and giving it back just five times. The Hawks didn’t shoot well (16-for-57), and rebounds were 39-39, but they held North-field to its second-low total of the year. “We didn’t want to sit back in a half court,” Buford said. “This was the finals. We had to leave it all on the floor tonight.”

Northfield (27-4) had been held under 40 only twice previously and won both those games.

Freshman post Kierra Wheeler, Aja’s sister, had just five points, but pulled down 12 rebounds, blocked four shots and helped jam up the lanes. Senior Ja’Hyia Gaston notched 10 points, senior Ty’Neecia (T.T.) Longs nine points and nine rebounds, and freshman Andrea Tribble eight points. Senior Jada Buford, the coach’s sister, was scoreless but had 20 points in a close first-round win.

Northfield guard Grace Touchette had an excellent fi-nale to 1,300-points career, sniping for 25 points, but next-high was Hoff’s seven. Hoff did snag 14 rebounds and block five shots.

Northfield was making just its third state trip, and sec-ond time in the finals — the first being in 1979 when the Raiders lost to St. Paul Central.“It was still real-ly fun to be here, in the finals, after all these years,” Touchette said. “We heard about it all year from Tam-my! She wanted us to make history and win it all but we fell short.” Tammy Filzen, Raider assistant coach, was the point guard on the 1979 team. She has helped out her alma mater for three years, after 35 years of college coaching at Temple, the Gophers, and Carlton. Added Mathison: “The ’79 team sent flowers and a good-luck card. A number of them were in the stands tonight.”

Cooper advanced to the finals clipping Alexandria 58-51 led by Buford’s 20 and Tribble’s 18, and Willmar 65-54 with Kierra Wheeler and Longs sinking12 points each and Aja Wheeler 10. Northfield beat Big Nine rival Mankato West 49-44, led by Hoff with 13 points and nine rebounds, and Grand Rapids 65-54 with Touchette drilling 21 points.

Section notebookMahtomedi, which has gone to state only once, in 1961, fielded two different excellent lineups the last two years but neither could take the final step, losing to the same blazing-quick Columbia Heights squad each year in Section 4AAA finals. This year the Hylanders foiled the Zephyrs 70-62 led by Deundra Roberson with 19 points and Quentin Hardrict with 16, They had a 24-8 edge in turnovers and scored 17 points off eight of their steals, against a Mahtomedi team that’s pretty quick itself.

* * *Unranked Mahnomen-Waubun (18-11) upset No. 7 Hancock 71-64 for the Section 6A title, led by Treston Spalla with 22 points and Dion Bower with 18. The loss by Hancock (25-3) means the state’s top scorer won’t be at state. Noah Kannegiesser sank 32 and finished with 2.688 in his career, averaging 35.6 this year.

* * *Calvin Wishart, Mr. Basketball finalist, made sure he’d close his Delano career with his first state tournament appearance, notching 32 points, eight rebounds and five assists to lead the Tigers past Willmar 75-54 in the Sec-tion 5AAA finals. Keagan O’Neill added 21 for the Ti-gers (18-11 against a rugged schedule) as they handled the Cardinals (26-3) with surprising ease. Wishart and the Tigers got a break this year, being moved to 5AAA. They were previously in 6AAA where DeLaSalle, state champ the last six years, ousted them in 2016 and 2017.

Two No. 1’s toppled in finals

By Bruce Strand

Brooklyn Center, virtually a non-factor in state basket-ball tournament history, has ended its 45-year absence, at the expense of Minneapolis North, a six-time state champ with 21 state trips.

No. 5 ranked Brooklyn Center (21-8) knocked of the No. 1 ranked Polars 81-76 in the Section 5AA title game, led by sophomore Lu’cye Patterson with 24 points, nine re-bounds and four assists.

“We talk all the time about the lack of history at BC,” said third-year coach Matthew McCollister, aware that the school’s only state trips came in 1976 and 1983, “and the unique opportunity to create our own history. Our pre-game speech centered around the idea that we all chose to come to this program for games like this, for opportunities like this. It’s a beautiful thing.”

Adreone Sprinkles delivered 17 points and nine rebounds, Quentrell Douglas 16 points, and Roland Russ and Ah-man Decker 10 each for the Centaurs.

“We continued to grow and improve throughout the sea-son, and are playing our best basketball now,” McCollis-ter said about a team rotating a senior, three juniors and four sophomores. North drilled them 77-55 on Dec. 28.

The Centaurs led by 20 points, then lost Decker with a shoulder injury while taking a charge, Douglas with cramps with five minutes left and Sparkles on five fouls with three minutes left. They still held on.

“Patterson remained constantly the best player on the floor, making the plays that needed to be made,” McCol-lister said, adding that his team remained in control more than the final score indicates.

The Centaurs were hardened by a strong schedule for a 2A team, the coach said, and they “absolutely believed we were the better team” in spite of North’s excellent talent.

North’s Taylor Johnson pumped in 30 points. Odell Wil-son IV had 21 and eighth-grader Tre Holloman added 12.

North (23-6) was seeking a third consecutive state title. The Polars dominated Class 1A the past two years, moved up to 2A this year, and took over the No. 1 slot in the rank-ings after defeating defending state champion Minnehaha Academy 62-53 on Jan. 25.

Boys sectionals

Brooklyn Center savored its upset of Minne-apolis North for the Section 5AA trophy.

Brooklyn Center tips Mpls. North for first state trip since 1983

Mayer Luth. edges SpringfieldCole Hagan had just two points in the game when he found himself in position to give Mayer Lutheran a victory over top-ranked team, with a state tournament trip on the line.

Hagen had the ball as the final seconds were ticking away and let it fly — dropping a three-pointer through cords with two seconds left to knock out Springfield 78-75 in the Section 2A title game.

A 6-1 senior guard who’s played in only nine games, aver-aging seven points, Hagen earned a spot in MLHS sports history with the shot that gave the Crusaders just their second state trip. They also went in 2000.

Mayer Lutheran, ranked No. 5, will take a 27-3 record to the state tournament. The Crusaders big guys carried them otherwise as 6-6 Baden Noenig scored 29 points and 6-7 Garrett Tjernagel added 29.

Springfield’s junior star Isaac Fink, who scored 26 points, appeared to give his team a 77-75 with a driving basket with just over a minute left, but was called for charging. Decker Scheffler scored 20 points and Tanner Vogel 15.

Last unbeaten team falls shortBoys sectionals

By Bruce Strand

The last unbeaten boys team, Perham, did not reach the state tournament. Breckenridge, beaten twice by Perham previously, bottled up the Yellowjackets 47-39 in the Sec-tion 8AA finals, repeating as section champions.

Noah Christianson, 6-8 junior, led the Cowboys (25-5) with 18 points, scoring 14 of his team’s last 18 down the stretch. Derek Dahlgren was next with 12 points.

No. 3 ranked Perham (29-1) had not scored less than 45 points previously and had been held under 50 just three times. In their two conference duels, Perham beat Breck-enridge 75-70 and 69-62.

The Yellowjackets could not get any offense going in round three against Breckenridge. John LaFond and Josh Jeziorski led with 10 points each. Jensen Beachy, who scored close to 1,500 points was held to eight points in the last game of his career.

* * *DeLaSalle, six-time defending Class 3A champion and top-ranked again, nipped No. 4 Orono 80-79 on two free shots from Christian Dickson with one second left in the Section 6AAA finals. Orono shot 14-for-25 on three-pointers and led DeLaSalle 69-57 with 4:47 left. The Is-landers rally was keyed by Gabe Kalscheur drilling three 3-pointers — “with two or three guys on him,” Orono coach Barry Wohler told the Star-Tribune — on the way to 38 points. Max Bjorklund, Bemidji State recruit, drilled 28 points for Orono (23-6). Jarvis Omersa, who will join Kalscheur on the Gophers next year, scored 16 points. (Gopher coach Rick Pitino was on hand to watch his two recruits.) Orono had three 1,000-pointers in Omersa, Bjorklund and Griff Sage.

* * *Top-ranked Cretin-Derham Hall had to get past No. 5 East Ridge in Section 4AAAA and got the job done 62-52, boosted by their daunting duo of 6-8 Sy Chatman (18 points) and 6-10 Daniel Oturu (14 points and several blocked shots). East Ridge (23-5) was looking for its first state trip and should have a good shot against next year. Leading them were junior forward Courtney Brown with 19 points and sophomore forward Ben Carlson with 18.

* * *Nick Schafer sent St. Cloud Cathedral into the state tour-nament with a last-second 3-point shot to beat Eden Val-ley-Watkins 55-54 in Section 6AA. EVW led 53-52 and had Matthew Notch at the free throw line with 5.9 seconds left. Notch made the first and missed the second. Michael Schaefer rebounded, took two dribbles, and heaved the ball to his brother, just outside the arc. The junior guard got the shot off just in time. Mitchell Plombon led with 22 points. Michael Schaefer had 18 points and 16 rebounds. Dominic Schlangen led EV-W with 19 points.

* * *Eden Valley-Watkins missed out on two state tournament trips by a total of two points and seven seconds. The No. 9 ranked Eagle girls (26-4) lost in the section finals to No. 18 Tracy-Milroy-Balaton 49-48 on a free throw with six seconds left. The No. 8 ranked Eagle boys (26-3) lost to No. 14 St. Cloud Cathedral on a 3-pointer with :02 left (above). The EV-W boys were looking for their first state trip. The girls have made four state trips.

They split in conference play with No. 3 ranked RTR winning 60-52 on Feb. 1 and No. 9 Minneota handling the Knights their lone loss 61-59 on Feb. 20. In the rubber game with a state trip on the line, it was RTR prevailing 71-69 for the Section 3A championship — after trailing 40-29 at halftime. Cooper Hansen scored 20 points, Wes-tin Kirk 17, Garrett Kern 15 and Jonah Johnson 13 for RTR (31-1), which got its last few points at the free throw line. Minneota (24-4), looking for its first-ever state trip in boys basketball, got 31 points from Thomas Hennen.


4 straight finals for HopkinsBy Bruce Strand

While Eastview is riding a Class 4A record streak of seven state appear-ances, runner-up Hopkins has also assembled a historic streak: four con-secutive championship games. Nobody had more than three previously.

Hopkins lost the last three of those. After picking up the school’s sixth state title in 2015 beating Eastview 68-60, the Royals lost to Minnetonka 61-52, Elk River 64-60 and now Eastview 68-63 for runner-up finishes.

“The game humbles you. Life humbles you,” coach Bran Cosgriff said. However, playing in championship games four straight times is a tremen-dous feat, he pointed out. “The trophies and medals gather dust on the shelves, but the memories last a lifetime …. No, I’m not tired of being runner-up. We are here on the final day of the season and 62 other teams are not.”

Paige Bueckers hit 37 points but Hopkins lost to Eastview 68-63.

That’s Mariah Apilate on defense.

Sauk Centre wins rematch for title By Bruce Strand

Considering all the su-perb teams Sauk Centre has generated the last few years, the Mainstreeters were bound to finish top of the heap sooner or later. This was that year.

With senior leaders Kelsey Peschel and Maesyn Thie-sen each playing in her 12th state tournament game, the Mainstreeters capped a 33-0 season by fending off defending champion Ro-seau 63-52 for the Class 2A championship.

“It’s really difficult to get here and once you’re here, it’s 10 times tougher to win it,” coach Scott Bergman said. “In the times we finished second, I felt like we got beat by a better team. I think that this proves, in our class, that we’re the best team.”

It was a rare matchup of the same teams in the state finals two straight years —just the fifth time that’s happened in the entire history of the state boys and girls tournaments, and the first time the previous year’s runner-up has won.

Sauk Centre has gone 121-9 the last four years and fin-ished top-four each year, losing in the finals to Dover-Eyota 71-58 in 2015 and to Roseau 75-64 last year.

With all that already on their resume, Thiesen was asked if this season had to bring a state championship to be a success. She shook her head. “It would have been a good year anyway,” she said. “We get along so well and we always have a lot of fun.”

About their long climb to the top, Peschel said the girls knew they had to “just keep playing” and eventually “show that we’re the best.”

Peschel and her sophomore sib Tori Peschel scored 18 points apiece, with Tori snagging 15 rebounds. Thiesen delivered 17 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Sophomore center Julia Dammann added seven points and senior guard Kenzie Schmiesing five.

The Mainstreeters built a 43-25 lead but suspected that a run by Roseau was coming from the Rams’ sister set of Kacie and Katie Borowicz, who combined for 60 points in their semifinal win. Sure enough, the Streeters lead was soon trimmed to 55-52 before they regained control and the Killer B’s both fouled out.

“No lead is safe with them. We saw that again last night. When we played in December we had a really big lead and they got it to back to 10,” Bergman said. “When the first one fouled out we figured we might be able to pull this one out, and when the second one fouled out we felt pretty safe.”

The Mainstreeters had edges of 45-34 in rebounds and 8-13 in turnovers while shooting 20-for-56 (7-for-27 on three’s) and 16-for-21 at the line. The Rams shot 18-for-55 (7-for-19 on threes) and 9-for-14 at the line.

Although located 247 miles apart, these schools have du-eled four times the past three years. Roseau won in the third-place gave 94-82 in 2016 and in last year’s finals. They both entered the Perham holiday tournament this year and Sauk Centre won 80-70 in the finals (their clos-est win of the regular season). The state championship got the Mainstreeters back to .500 against Rams.

Sauk Centre advanced beating Byron 67-61 and Nor-wood Young America 54-45. Thiesen scored 54 points, Kelsey Peschel 49, and Tori Peschel 39 in the tournament. Schmiesing played a huge role in the semifinals, holding NYAC’s Kali Grimm, a 2,000-point scorer, to five.

All smiles after finishing 33-0 were (from left) Tori Peschel, Kelsey Pe-schel, Maesyn Thiesen, Kenzie Schmiesing and Julia Dammann.

No. 3 ranked Roseau, in a late Friday semi-final that was one of the most exciting games of the four-class tournament, rallied to beat No. 2 Maranatha Christian 78-66. Kacie Boro-wicz, junior guard, poured in 40 points — amazingly, 24 of them came after she picked up her fourth foul with 12:11 left — and Katie Boro-wicz, a freshman guard, sniped for 20 more. They were a combined 21-for-24 at the line.

“The win last night was very exciting and a lot of fun but it did get pretty late,” said coach Kelsey Didrikson, adding that she has been scheduling Friday-Saturday back-to-backs in the regular season for several years “because this is where we want to be at the end.” About the championship game, she allowed, “We didn’t come out with the energy we needed to compete with them for a whole game, not until it was do-or-die time.”

Kacie Borowicz was a little off in her shooting (that’s common against Sauk Centre) in the finals, going 5-for-20 in logging 15 points and 12 rebounds. Junior forward Emma Waling delivered 11 points with 3-for-5 accuracy on 3-pointers, including one that pulled her team within 55-52. Katie Borowicz had 10 points, seven assists and three steals. Senior Victoria Johnson added eight points.

Roseau, which won last year’s title with three Killer B’s — Kiley, who scored 3,223 points, now plays for Min-nesota-Moorhead — will have one more season with the two of them. Asked if they planned to return, Katie smiled at the prospect, while Kacie said solemnly, “We will be back.”

State tournament scores


Lyle-Pacelli’s rise is poignant story By Bruce Strand

This could be an interesting movie script. A team plays several years together, wins tons of games, but each sea-son ends with gut-wrenching defeats. They’ve got one more season together. But their coach has to leave, following his fiancé to another state.

The star player lays her head on his shoulder, imploring him to stay. The coach relents. They go back to work … and emerge as state champions.

Nice yarn, and not coming to a theatre near you. It ac-tually just happened in real life as the Lyle-Pacelli girls marched the the Class 1A championship, capped by a 57-33 conquest of Sleepy Eye in the championship game.

The Athletics were 152-22 the last six years under coach Justin Morris. Playing in a especially strong small-school section, they made state just once pre-viously, 2015, and almost beat the state champs in the semifinals. “We have had a couple heartbreaks,” acknowledged Brooke Walter, senior guard who has played all six seasons, “but we got it done this time, That kind of makes up for it.”

The Athletics were stopped by the even-tual state champions the last three sea-sons. “We have been through so much pain,” said Morris, who now lives in Omaha and coached his final game with this team. “We came down here in 2015, and we led Ada-Borup wire to wire, and they got their first lead with four seconds lefts. We should have won that game, and they won by 30 in the finals. The next year, we were up by 17 against Goodhue in the second half in the section (semifi-nals) and lost (43-42) in the last second. So this group has been through a lot.”

Last year, the Athletics lost again to Goodhue 52-43 in the section and Goodhue won state again. But there would be no more of that, not this year. Lyle-Pacelli, ranked No. 1 since December, buoyed by 6-5 center Kristi Fett dominat-

ing the lanes, Walter’s floor leadership, and a suffocat-ing zone defense, went 32-0 against Minnesota teams, los-ing only to an unbeaten Iowa champ, Crestwood, in that team’s closest game, 65-55.

The Athletics beat No. 4 Goodhue 50-44 in the regular season, their only win by less than 12 points. They toppled No. 3 Hayfield 75-63 in the Section 1A finals and turned back Heritage Christian 59-43 and Minneota 53-41 at state to reach the finals.

Fett, a MN State-Mankato recruit, dominated against Sleepy Eye. She laid in 30 points (11-for-17 from the floor, 8-for-11 at the line), snagged 16 rebounds, blocked five shots and made only one foul. She logged 72 points and 48 rebounds in the tournament and amassed 1,680 points and 986 rebounds in her three-year career.

“She is a handful, absolutely,” Sleepy Eye coach Ryan Hulke said. “We had one girl we felt could guard her and she got in foul trouble. Even if she (Fett) misses, she is still right there. You can’t move her. I guess, being a for-mer Maverick myself, I am glad she’s going there.”

Abigail Bollingberg sank 10 points and Olivia Christian-son eight. Walter, who scored 1,712 points in six seasons but transformed to a feeder role this year and averged 7.9 assists, had six points. Kendal Truckenmueller had three. The Athletics shot 20-for-38 from the field.

Sleepy Eye, which never scored fewer than 52 points pre-viously, shot just 11-for-46 from the field. Madi Heider-scheidt had eight points and Brianna Polesky and Sarah Ibarra seven apiece. Hulke praised the L-Z zone that held all three state opponents under 30 percent shooting. “We tried everything we could against it,” he said.

Morris choked up at the post-championship press confer-ence when asked about his decision to coach another year despite the circumstances. “Kristi came to me, literally put her head on my shoulder and cried. ‘You can’t leave. You can’t leave.’ I stayed -- so we could take one last shot at this and prove to the world that we could do it.”

Brooke Walter capped her sixth varsity season with a state championship.

Miffed Sleepy Eye rolled all the way to finalsBy Bruce Strand

Sleepy Eye was both resenting and rel-ishing its “no respect” status after cruis-ing into the state Class 1A finals as the No. 17 ranked team and an unseeded state entrant.

“We’d be sitting there at No. 16 or 17 and we’d giggle and say, OK, we’ll beat them when we play them,” coach Ryan Hulke groused after his team thumped Mountain Iron-Buhl 63-48 in the semi-finals.

The Indians (28-5) lost to top-ranked Lyle-Pacelli 57-33 in the title game but garnered the runner-up trophy, their school’s first appearance in a state bas-ketball final and some belated respect.

Star guard Madi Heiderscheidt added, “I don’t think we’ve gotten the recognition we necessarily should the entire season, and it’s great to show everybody how hard we work and how good of a basketball team we can be. Being seniors, this is the last chance ... and it’s great to come out on this big stage.”

The Indians nipped No. 3 seed Ada-Borup/Norman Coun-ty West 53-51 as Heiderscheidt nailed 25 points made the

go-ahead basket with :22 left and clinched it with her eighth steal with :03 left. Heiderscheidt drilled anoth-er 24 points in the semifinals against No. 2 seed MIB.

Oh, that’s another thing Hulke was miffed about. “It’s unbelievable that Madi is not all-state,” he said, refer-ring to the coaches association Class 1A team. “Just an honorable men-tion, scoring 22 points a game!”

Heiderscheid, Brianna Polesky and Sarah Ibarra made all-tournament as some final recognition for this group, which, as eighth graders, won the Pacesetter Great Four-State.

Sleepy Eye’s status in the rankings was hampered by two losses to No. 20 Wabasso and a blowout loss to

Class 2A’s No. 2 Maranatha Christian. Their other loss was to No. 4 Goodhue 57-35. But Goodhue and Wabasso watched the state tourney while Sleepy Eye marched to the finals.

After Sleepy Eye’s loss in the finals, Heiderscheidt tear-fully reflected, “I’m not as upset about second place as I am about my career with these girls being over.”

Madi Heiderscheidt sank 55 points, leading unseeded Sleepy Eye to 2nd place.
