Ten things from last night.
10. Congrats to Taylor Filipek on going over 1000 pts last night.
9. Zach Noreen blocked 5 shots? Good for him, I love his game but having him block 5 shots makes me smile. What if he was still at Apollo and gave them the outside shooting stroke they needed?
8. How inconsistent is the WCN? I think it's actually almost that even of a conference, it's crazy, save Albany and NL-S, teams 3-7 are about even.
7. Pierz hasn't lost a section game.
6. BBE won last night even though they didn't guard. You let a team shoot 11 for 19 from 3, you should lose a lot of games.
5. Sauk Centre girls won again with mostly 9th and 10th graders, wouldn't want to be a WCN girls coach for next 2-3 yrs.
4. MACCRAY boys are undefeated. Seth Hinrichs with 20 last night, you'll see him w/ Comets Elite 16's.
3. Apollo girls lose to Willmar and only shoot 5 FT's while Willmar shoots 20???
2. Annandale beats Litchfield in boys but Litch returns the favor for girls.
1. Foley boys 2 in a row. I like it. Matt Feuling with 20 again.
Two Huge games @ end of the week.
Thursday @ Apollo
TECH vs. APOLLO- I think it will be tight throughout, but I do expect the Tigers to prevail. If not we'd look at a split CLC, which has happened before. Assuming Apollo then wins out. Willmar with 3 conf losses is stuck for 3rd I think.
Friday @ Albany
ALBANY @ NLS- Could go either way Albany needs this one badly, if they have any chance to win conference. It will be hard not to go to his game. I think NLS guard superiority will win out. NLS close.

I was at the Albany / NLS game. Man, what an amazing game. NLS came out with some tough on the ball pressure and jumped on Albany early. Neither team was shootting well early, NLS getting more of their points off of turnovers. Noreen missed his first two 3s and coach Dorn moved him to the post, which I think was the move of the game. NLS couldn't handle him down there. Albany was down 8 - 13 points through about 8 minutes to go in the game. They made a few runs to get it down to 4, but couldn't get over the hump. Tengewell or one of the Motens would hit a few shoots to push the lead back up. Johnson was a beast underneath the the refs were letting both teams bang. NLS started to double Noreen in the post and Albany did a good job cutting someone to the basket for easy dumpoffs for layups. Noreen hit two threes in a row to cut it to 2 with about 6 minutes left. They traded buckets until there were about a minute to go. Lieser hit a big three to tie it. Moten drove and scored on a nice layup. Albany feed Noreen in the post and he was fouled with 6 seconds left. He made both to tie it (Albany missed a ton of free throws all game, but they made them at the end). Tengewell flew down the side of the court, but was cut of and slide his pivot trying to stop. Albany ball with 1.6 seconds left. Albany was trying to get to the ball to a cutting Blackmore, but they jumped him and Noreen just lobbed it to the basket. Voit sealed his man, caught and went straight up with the layup as the buzzer went off. The crowd ran on the court. It was truly amazing, the most intense game I've ever seen.
NLS and Albany will probably meeting in the Sections. That should be another great game.
