[3:19] >> [screaming] [3:30] >> Welcome to Blaine High School for [3:32] tonight's conference action in the [3:35] Northwest Suburban Conference between [3:37] Blaine and Spring Lake Park. a battle [3:40] for the lead in the conference as Blaine [3:43] comes in with a record of 7 and3 4- one [3:45] in conference play at top the Northwest [3:47] Suburban and Spring Lake Park comes in [3:50] unbeaten at 7-0 with a 3-0 record in [3:53] conference play. Good evening everyone. [3:55] I'm Bill Hup along with AV Becker and [3:58] Mike Peterson on the camera. pleased to [4:01] be joining you tonight here two days [4:03] before Christmas [4:06] before these teams get a bit of a break [4:07] and Blaine wins the opening tap and [4:09] quickly they push the basketball. That's [4:11] what they're going to do all evening [4:13] long as Spring Lake Park lines up in a [4:16] matchup zone. Three-pointer on the way [4:18] is no good. Battle for the rebound won [4:21] by the Panthers who will jog it up court [4:24] with Annie Wright or Amright I should [4:26] say. sophomore guard playing will [4:30] pressure man-to-man uh 90 ft 94 feet as [4:34] they really like to to put the pressure [4:36] on under firstear head coach Alex Walls. [4:43] Alex Walls on one side and Bart Johnson [4:46] in his second season in charge of the [4:47] Panthers on the other. [4:50] >> Rebounded underneath going back up with [4:52] it. Tip no rebound again. layup this [4:55] time. In and out, but Jaylen Bersie [4:59] Dixon will go to the free throw line for [5:01] two [5:10] >> as that one is on Natty Barry. Her first [5:14] foul. And [5:17] Mercy Dixon Dixon drains the first free [5:20] throw. [5:25] gets the second and goes two for two [5:27] from the charity strike. [5:30] >> So, it's two nothing. [5:32] >> Blaine quickly into the front court. [5:34] Turnaround shot no good. It's rebounded [5:37] as Spring Lake Park quickly moves the [5:39] ball into the front court right [5:40] underneath. Good pass. [5:43] Spinning shot, no good. Ripped down as [5:45] Llaya Banky, the freshman, misses uh her [5:49] first opportunity. [5:51] playing in the multiple blues, blue [5:54] jerseys, blue shorts, blue numbers as we [5:58] have our first turnover of the game and [5:59] it goes the way of the Bengals. [6:05] So, this is where you see Blaine pick [6:08] up. They want to play fast. They want to [6:11] force turnovers and use their speed, but [6:14] they get it in to Kendall Krauss, the [6:16] junior. [6:17] Smolich kicks it out for right. Top of [6:20] the key three on the way. No good. Good [6:22] rebound underneath by Berscie Dixon who [6:24] lays it in. [6:27] Jaylen Berscie Dixon with four points [6:29] here in the first half and it's four [6:31] nothing Panthers [6:35] underneath on the other end. Layup is [6:37] good. That's Amelia Richie who gets the [6:42] Bengals on the board. Now we'll see how [6:45] well Saint uh Spring Lake Park rather [6:47] can handle this pressure. [6:52] >> And we've got our second team foul and [6:54] first on Alyssa Schloman as she was [6:58] caught reaching in the back court. [7:01] Spring Lake Park in the white jerseys [7:03] with the blue and red trim, blue and red [7:05] or blue numerals [7:08] with the red piping. [7:11] I've never had it explained why the road [7:13] team wears white in Minnesota, but [7:16] that's just kind of how it's always [7:17] been. [7:19] >> Over the timeline, right? Beats her man [7:22] and then gets the ball knocked out of [7:24] bounds. It'll stay down here with the [7:26] Panthers. [7:37] >> Percy Dixon wants a leftwing three. [7:39] That's short. Good positioning on the [7:41] rebound by Smulich, but she saves it to [7:43] Blaine. Bengals push it into the front [7:46] court. Out of control, but finding the [7:49] outlet. And now the Bengals will reset. [7:52] Still plenty of time on the shot clock [7:53] as they try to feed it in the middle. [7:55] And we've got our first foul on Spring [7:58] Lake Park. [8:04] >> Kendall Krauss the guilty party. [8:07] First team foul. [8:26] Bengals hold top of the key. Swung near [8:28] side. [8:30] >> Dribble drive. Bounce to the corner. [8:33] Swung up high. Right wing three is good. [8:37] Harley Jensen off the bench. She [8:39] normally starts. She's getting looked at [8:41] by a host of division three teams. And [8:44] now there's the blame pressure forcing a [8:46] turnover. And the Bengals quickly take [8:49] their first lead of the game on the [8:51] layup there off the turnover [8:59] swung to the corner and Smolich [9:02] underneath. Percy Dixon turns, misses, [9:05] no good. She's off to a flying start. 74 [9:09] Bengals lead it [9:15] >> up top. three-pointer for Anglehart [9:18] and it's ripped down. Ellie Angelhart or [9:21] Angle Hopped rather into the game. So, a [9:24] couple players into the game, Waltz [9:26] talked about how much he uses his bench [9:28] and how much he likes to get kids in and [9:31] out because they do force so many so [9:34] many turnovers like right there. Second [9:36] steal of the game for the Bengals. SLP a [9:39] pretty good defensive team in their own [9:41] right. They average 10 steals a game. [9:44] High ball screen for Jansen. [9:47] >> Watched by Smolich. [9:49] And there's another turnover for Blaine [9:52] as Berscie Dixon steals it away. [9:55] >> Right. [9:57] We'll reset up top with Banky. [10:06] >> Whipped underneath, but tough pass and [10:09] it's knocked away. Good defense by [10:10] Anglehoff into the front court and we'll [10:13] have our first free throws [10:19] >> of the evening as Ann Wright commits a [10:22] personal [10:40] to the free throw line. Alexis Airheart [10:43] and she sinks the first. The junior [10:45] guard, [10:48] Khloe Der into the game, the sophomore. [10:51] Good spark plug off the bench, [10:55] wearing number zero. [10:59] And Heart goes two for two. [11:07] Lane with a good trap [11:09] >> trying to get it over the timeline. [11:10] Finally they do. Up ahead for Smletch [11:12] who lays it in. Good press break there [11:15] by Spring Lake Park. Slow developing but [11:17] it eventually did the trick. Anna [11:21] Smulich the junior forward makes it 96. [11:34] Dribble drive, blocking foul, the call [11:38] as [11:40] Oh no, they change it. They say it's a [11:42] charge on Anglehop. [11:46] Player control foul on Ellie Angelhopp. [11:56] Alyssa Schloman re-enters the game with [11:59] sophomore guard. [12:03] 96 our score five minutes into this [12:05] first half. [12:07] Bill Hut from Bengals [12:11] from Blaine High School. Of course, the [12:13] boys are facing off on the other side of [12:16] town at Spring Lake Park. [12:19] We have that for you on North Metro TV [12:22] as well. [12:24] Matt Dean and Tim Anderson on the call. [12:26] Fed down low for Bercy Dixon. She's got [12:29] six [12:36] >> again. High ball screen for the Bengals [12:38] here. [12:40] >> Three-pointer for Schlomman. Off the [12:42] mark. Good rebound by Englehop. [12:44] Tries to feed Barry underneath. tough in [12:48] traffic and Percy Dixon reaches in and [12:50] forces the jump ball that's going to [12:51] take give the basketball back to Spring [12:54] Lake Park. [12:56] >> Unofficially three turnovers each now in [12:59] this first half for both teams. Blaine [13:03] 4- one in the Northwest Suburban [13:05] Conference. They lead the conference. [13:07] Spring Lake Park second, a perfect 3 and [13:10] 0. Bengals have lost to Delano [13:15] Chanhahassen [13:16] to Western Metro Powers and then also by [13:20] a point to rival Centennial. [13:26] Good press break here by Spring Lake [13:28] Park. Berscie Dixon wants a three. No [13:31] good. Good box out there. [13:35] Richie pushes into the front court. Shot [13:38] on the way short. Percy Dixon gets the [13:40] rebound. Right. [13:44] Triple teamed. Finds right with a bounce [13:47] pass. Right. Spinning in the lane and [13:49] tries to split defenders. Draws a foul [13:52] and she'll shoot two. [14:04] >> Second team foul meanwhile on Natty [14:06] Barry, the senior forward. [14:09] So that may force coach Walls to sit her [14:14] down for a little bit to prevent further [14:17] foul trouble. Meanwhile, Llaya Beni [14:21] drains the first. [14:23] Spring Lake Park, a very young team. Six [14:26] of their 10 that typically play are [14:29] underassman, [14:30] including an eighth grader as that one's [14:33] off the front iron. Good hustle though [14:35] to get the offensive rebound. [14:38] Derer here is one of those underassman [14:40] sophomore handling the basketball. [14:42] Blaine extending the pressure out on [14:44] high. 99 our score. [14:48] Little mini 3 0 burst from Spring Lake [14:50] Park. Good skip pass cross corner three [14:53] is no good. Neither one of these teams a [14:55] great three-point shooting team as [14:57] that's pushed too far ahead by Richie [14:59] and turned back over to the Panthers. [15:05] We thought this would be a good one [15:07] coming in and so far it's pretty even. [15:09] 14 fouls on Blaine, two on Spring Lake [15:12] Park, but we're tied at nine. [15:19] >> Turnover is an issue for both teams. And [15:21] just as I say that, [15:24] Khloe Der takes her eye off it and it [15:26] goes out of play. [15:30] Waltz continuing to shuffle through. [15:33] He's going to use nine 10 players and [15:35] rotate them often. [15:39] Three-pointer from the wing. No good. [15:41] Only seen one three-pointer made so far. [15:47] >> Right across the timeline at the Blaine [15:49] logo. Splits defenders and draws the [15:53] hand check foul. Already the fifth team [15:56] foul on Blaine in this first half. [16:01] as Rosie Rkusky picks up her first. [16:06] Two on Barry, one on Anglehopped, one on [16:08] Schlman, and one on Rusky. [16:13] Bounce pass for Schmoolich spinning over [16:16] our left shoulder. Good footwork in the [16:18] post. That was something in talking to [16:20] coach [16:22] Wallace pregame, he talked about how [16:24] good the bigs footwork is for SLP. [16:28] Good post post post player footwork. [16:31] Good rebound here. Meanwhile, strong [16:34] rebound by Llaya Banky. [16:45] >> Right directing traffic. Smitch [16:49] trying to clear some room. SLP on a 5-0 [16:51] run. Make that a 70 run as they've taken [16:55] an 13-9 lead. Anna Smolich now with six. [16:59] Six a piece for her and Berscie Dixon. [17:01] Good pace on the other end though [17:04] by Brianna Cummings. [17:09] >> That's the thing is uh Blaine will come [17:12] right back and try to force turnovers. [17:14] They do right there and then a foul [17:16] committed. [17:19] Five turnovers now on Spring Lake Park, [17:22] four on the Bengals as we're nearing the [17:25] 10-minute mark to go in the first half. [17:30] >> And that's a big one. That's the second [17:31] on Kendall Krauss, so she'll have to [17:36] take a breather. [17:38] Der returns. [17:54] >> [cheering] [18:03] >> Little give and go. Turnover forced. [18:06] Five turnovers a piece. Now make that [18:08] six. I should just stop counting until [18:11] the ball's settled. Three-pointer on the [18:13] way. No good. Blaine still ice cold from [18:15] three. They miss it inside. [18:19] Loose on the deck. Bengals recover. Good [18:21] ball movement. Another three-pointer. [18:23] And this one off the mark as well. And [18:26] Bersie Dixon clears. [18:32] 1311 our score. Kind of a ragged game. [18:35] Neither team shooting it very well. [18:36] Percy Dixon back for [18:42] >> Dart. [18:44] Percy Dixon in those bright pink shoes [18:47] feeds Smich up top. [18:50] >> Smich on the deck. [18:54] >> Looking for help in the post. And that's [18:56] got to be 3 seconds. And sure enough, it [18:59] is. [19:07] >> Anglehop. Jackson and Richie return [19:11] >> for Blaine. [19:16] Both coaches will certainly have things [19:18] to [19:20] >> point out to their teams at halftime. [19:25] >> Jansen backs it out against Der. [19:30] >> Good kick to the corner for Englehawks. [19:33] That's off the mark as well. No official [19:35] shooting numbers, but I'm going to say [19:38] Blaine is one for probably 12 now as [19:42] Percy Dixon a little too aggressive on [19:43] the pass. [19:48] >> Richie Brewer not quite in good [19:51] position. Tried to take a charge, but [19:53] instead she's whistled for the personal [19:56] on the block. [20:07] So that's going to send Amelia Richie, [20:10] the sophomore guard, to the free throw [20:12] line. She's got a pair. [20:17] >> Well, never mind. I didn't think it was [20:20] a Well, [20:23] it's some contention as to whether [20:24] that's a shooting foul or not. [20:28] It looked like she was shooting. I'm not [20:31] sure why she wouldn't be shooting free [20:32] throws, but [20:38] >> sure enough [20:57] And Richie hits the first. [21:01] >> Bengals not a good free throw shooting [21:03] to team. Just 53% on the season. [21:09] And sure enough, Richie goes one for [21:11] two. 1312 our score. [21:15] One-point lead for SLP. Right. [21:18] works across the timeline, tries to [21:20] cross over and has it stolen. Angle [21:23] hopped into the front court and then she [21:26] turns it over. [21:28] Both teams just look like they need to [21:30] slow down a little bit. [21:37] >> As we exactly 10 minutes gone by [21:42] >> here in this first half, [21:45] >> Derer comes to the ball. [21:52] crosses over, bounces left wing, [21:55] >> right, picks up the dribble, pound it [21:57] out there. Der [21:59] backs it out. First time in the game for [22:02] Greta Sullman or Soomn rather. [22:05] And we've got a foul out high and [22:07] Brianna Cummings can't believe it. [22:19] There's a foul on the floor. So [22:22] >> Smich returns. [22:31] >> Spring Lake Park rotating quite often as [22:33] well. [22:43] Right whips it near side. Beni [22:47] Dixon [22:48] holds, looks. Right. Thought about it. [22:52] Picks up the dribble. Smolich top of the [22:54] key. [22:56] Bounces inside as the shot clock's about [22:59] to expire. And Beni does not get it off [23:01] in time. A shot clock violation. [23:04] [cheering] The 10th turnover of the [23:06] first half on Spring Lake Park. [23:11] >> Great defense by Blaine. That's the [23:13] calling card of Alex Walls. [23:19] >> Three-pointer right wing. No good. [23:21] Berscie Dixon took a little shove in the [23:23] back but manages to snack down the [23:25] rebound. Then she goes coast to coast [23:27] and lays it in. Jaylen Bersie Dixon, the [23:31] junior, [23:33] >> leading all scorers with eight. [23:35] >> Three-pointer left wing. That's good [23:37] from Amelia Richie. [23:40] She's got six. [23:43] We'll see if this opens the baskets up a [23:46] little bit as it's 1515. And then [23:48] another steel for Blaine. [23:53] Kicked back out on high. Three-pointer [23:55] no good. [23:57] And we've got a foul on the floor. [24:02] So, we're going to walk to the other end [24:04] as Schlomman has whistled for her [24:06] second. [24:13] >> So, that'll send Greta Salom, the [24:16] senior, to the line. [24:32] 1515 our score. Six and a half minutes [24:34] to go first half. [24:38] >> Soom off the mark with that free throw. [24:41] Cleared by Schulman. Good pass up ahead [24:43] for Anglehopped. Angerho hopped drives [24:46] baseline. Misses the bunny and right [24:50] pushes ahead. [24:52] >> Right hesitation dribble. [24:55] Smullich [24:56] had some big games for the Panthers last [24:58] year. Underhands it out for Bersie [25:00] Dixon. He'll clear out and then swing it [25:04] to the left. Right in the middle. [25:08] Soomn back out for Smolich. 13 on the [25:11] shot clock. [25:13] Percy Dixon wants to drive baseline. Cut [25:15] off there. [25:17] Picks up the dribble. 4 seconds left. [25:20] Right eventually loses it. [cheering] [25:23] would have been a shot clock violation [25:24] anyway. On the other end, good hustle [25:26] defense by Solemn. And now we've got a [25:29] jump ball and it's going the way of [25:32] Spring Lake Park. It's weird cuz I [25:34] thought the last jump ball went to [25:36] Spring Lake Park. So, I'm a little [25:37] surprised. I must have missed one that [25:40] went to Blaine. [25:44] >> At any rate, [25:46] turnover is 12-6 in favor of [25:51] Blaine. Couple [26:01] players with two fouls a piece. And sure [26:05] enough, Walls is going over and talking [26:07] to the ref cuz he's saying what I said, [26:10] which is that I'm not sure the alternate [26:12] arrow ever changed over to Blaine. And I [26:15] think it should have. And I think this [26:17] should be Blaine basketball. [26:26] And I'm not always right, but I'm not [26:28] usually wrong either. [26:34] >> And sure enough, Blaine does get the [26:37] alternate area. [26:39] >> Just about insignificant stuff like [26:43] >> So the Bengals get the basketball. [26:50] Good job by the refs to come together [26:52] right there and get the call right. [26:54] Ultimately, [26:56] >> three-pointer from the corner for [26:57] Jansen. That could be a big call. Marley [27:00] Jansen nails the three. Just the third [27:03] three-pointer of the half for Blaine, [27:06] but it's 1815. Now they regain the lead. [27:09] Back and forth these two teams go [27:12] exchanging advantages. And we've got a [27:15] [screaming] foul underneath. [cheering] [27:17] It was Soomn who was battling for [27:19] position on the block against Jansen. [27:23] And the post player for Spring Lake Park [27:27] got whistled for the foul. Greta Sullum. [27:34] Fifth team foul of the half. So next [27:38] one will be free throws. Marley Jansen [27:40] has scored five straight. She's given [27:42] her team its largest lead of the game. [27:44] She's got eight. [27:47] do her back in for her point guard [27:49] ability, ball handling skills. [27:52] >> She comes to the basketball here at the [27:54] logo. [27:56] >> 20 to 15 Blaine leads Spring Lake Park [27:58] with inside of 5 minutes to go first [28:00] half. Ter with a nice move to get past. [28:02] She's always going to want to [28:05] share the basketball though and it's [28:06] stolen. [28:09] >> Kick to the corner. Anglehob fires up a [28:11] three. No good. [28:16] Spring Lake Park Blaine doing what it [28:18] does, forcing turnovers. SLP [28:21] unofficially 13 giveaways here in the [28:24] first half and then Englehof commits her [28:27] second personal foul on the hand check. [28:31] The refs are calling that so you got to [28:34] be careful guarding out on high. [28:41] So now Khloe Der, [28:44] >> the sophomore, walks to the free throw [28:46] line. She has yet to [28:49] >> crack the score sheet today. [28:55] Lefty bends her knees and can't get it [28:57] to go. Good rebound though by Percy [29:00] Dixon. She missed the bunny. [29:04] Bengals push it ahead. [29:08] Good basket cut. missed the layup. Oh, [29:11] it was a great basket cut by Rosie [29:13] Rkusky, but she missed the layup. [29:17] Four minutes remaining in the half. Der [29:20] backs it out and then bounces near side [29:23] for Soom who's playing some big minutes [29:25] off the bench here for Panthers. [29:28] Percy Dixon up high for Smulich. [29:33] Whips a pass to the wing [29:36] and then immediately thrown away. A good [29:39] read by Rusky and she finishes on the [29:41] other end of the layup. Rosie Rkusky [29:44] with her first points. Careless. [29:48] She's not valuing the basketball by SLP. [29:51] And here they're able to get a jump [29:54] ball. And so that's going to stay with [29:56] Spring Lake Park. But again, and some of [29:59] these errors are just not forced, just [30:01] just telegraphing passes and whatnot. [30:06] And you know that Blaine wants to be [30:08] aggressive and jump those passing lanes. [30:11] 2215 largest lead of the half. Blaine on [30:15] a 9-0 run. [30:18] Bengals in the Navy blue. Panthers in [30:20] the white. Smolich puts it on the deck. [30:23] Haven't heard from her in a while. [30:24] Missed the layup. [30:27] Richie speeds into the front court. [30:30] Crashes into right. No call. And now a [30:33] battle for the rebound and the jump [30:34] ball. will keep it down here with [30:36] Blaine. [30:39] >> Bit of a lid on the basket right now for [30:41] SLP. They trail it by seven here. We [30:45] reach the later stages of the first half [30:52] underneath and turned over. [30:56] SLP pushes ahead now. Right hesitation [30:59] dribble [31:00] >> feeds Beni turns, shoots, and misses. [31:08] And then a foul committed by Berscie [31:09] Dixon as she lost her balance. [31:13] >> First on the junior. [31:16] Only two players other than one free [31:19] throw from Llaya Bank. [31:22] Everything else has been Annis Mulich or [31:25] Berscie Dixon for SLP. [31:28] And [31:29] >> Spring Lake Park takes its first time [31:32] out. [31:37] of the half to talk things over. Foul [31:39] situation, [31:42] >> 8-6. Eight for the Bengals and six for [31:46] the Panthers. [31:51] Give you some other scores from around [31:53] the metro area. [31:55] Minihaha Academy leading Calonia 28-24. [31:59] Lakeville North being routed by [32:02] Eastridge 48-24 at home. [32:09] Prior Lake defeated Chanhassen 7256. [32:14] Weetta all over Chaza 8137. [32:22] handful of other scores here tonight [32:25] that we'll get to you as the night [32:28] progresses. [32:30] Both the B team game and the JV game [32:33] went into overtime here, hence our [32:36] slightly late start. [32:44] Out of the timeout, it'll be Blaine [32:45] basketball inbounding [32:56] in the front court. Marley Jansen to [32:58] trigger. [33:01] Gives it up top. Good attack downhill. [33:06] Out. Good move by Hehart. Kicked for [33:09] three and it's good. Beautiful play [33:12] drawn up as Kaden Alstrip, whom we [33:15] haven't heard from yet today, drills a [33:17] three-pointer. 2515, [33:20] a 120 run for Blaine. Bounced underneath [33:24] and layup is good. Finally, something [33:28] positive. Jalissa Jackson [33:32] delivered that for SLP and that broke a [33:35] 120 run. [33:43] which was the key to their 2515 lead. [33:47] Now it's 2517 as Spring Lake Park will [33:50] inbound against this pressure. [33:52] 2 minutes and 27 seconds in counting [33:55] left to go. [33:56] Smolich catches, drives. Good footwork [34:01] to cut her off there by Nhard. [34:08] >> Holding. Holding. Finally dribble drive [34:11] for right with no one underneath there. [34:13] Good rebound by Jackson. Another [34:15] rebound. Percy Dixon crashing in there. [34:19] She can't get it to go. Both teams have [34:22] missed their fair share of layups. Well [34:24] read there. And now we've got a [34:27] potential injury as uh Amelia Richie [34:31] crashed into on that aggressive [34:36] play by an Ann Wright. And Richie has [34:39] stayed down. [34:46] >> 2517 with 155 left. [34:51] And Richie appears to be in uh [34:57] some pain and not sure if it was a knee [34:59] to knee situation or what, but uh we'll [35:02] step aside and when we come back we'll [35:04] have the rest of the first half. 2517 [35:07] Blaine leads SLP on North Metro TV. [36:41] Back here at Blaine High School, Bill [36:43] Hut for North Metro TV as Ann Wright, [36:47] who just picked up a just drew a foul, [36:50] goes to the free throw line to shoot the [36:51] one and one and off the mark. [36:57] Three-pointer on the way from Jansen. No [36:59] good. [37:03] Spring Lake Park. [37:06] Pushes it ahead. [37:09] Nice move by Beni [37:14] but can't finish. [37:18] Bengals. Chance it. It's been the best [37:21] shooter from three-point today for [37:23] either team. [37:25] gets it out to the corner and that one [37:26] off the mark. [cheering] [37:32] >> And Jalissa Jackson, who's just come [37:34] into the game, has pro provided some [37:35] nice minutes for SLP here late in the [37:38] first half. Banky whips it to Berscie [37:42] Dixon with a minute to go. [37:47] >> Berscie Dixon up top. [37:54] hand in the passing lane, but again [37:55] that's just telegraphed and [37:59] >> Smolich with four on the shot clock. [38:01] Smolich tries to split defenders and [38:03] does [38:05] and a smich eight to lead uh [38:10] all scorers with Jaylen Berscie Dixon. [38:14] Speaking of her, she grabs the rebound [38:15] and pushes the pace. Berscie Dixon [38:18] attacks. Wild shot, no good. Smitch [38:20] can't rebound. Jackson has her shot [38:23] blocked. Threeon two for the Bengals. [38:27] Dribble drive and it's good. [38:31] 22. Alyssa Heheart. She's got six. [38:36] 2719. [38:38] 11 seconds left. They'll hold for one [38:40] shot. Smitch with seven on the shot [38:43] clock. They reach out and steal it. And [38:47] a desperate heave from half court just [38:50] misses. [38:51] And we have reached halftime. [38:56] >> A 120 run midway through the first half [39:00] is the key for Blaine as they lead it. [39:02] Go to the halftime break here. They lead [39:04] it at home 2719. Back with second half [39:07] action shortly from Blaine High School. [39:10] This is high school girls basketball on [39:12] North Metro TV. [39:17] Good evening. We will call this city [39:18] council meeting to order. [39:19] >> [music] [39:20] >> Please rise for the pledge of [39:21] allegiance. [39:22] >> Time is 6:30 p.m. I'm calling to order [39:24] the city of Centerville council meeting. [39:26] >> Welcome. Welcome everybody. We welcome [39:27] to the city of Circle Pines, Minnesota [39:29] regular city council meeting. [music] [39:31] >> Take your city council anywhere. [39:34] >> Good evening ladies and gentlemen. [39:35] Welcome to the Han Lake City Council [39:36] meeting. Okay, [39:37] >> we'll call this meeting order. Roll [39:38] call. Bill [39:39] >> Lake Park City Council meeting is now [39:41] called to order. [music] [39:43] >> Subscribe to your city podcast on your [39:45] favorite podcast platform. [39:52] 2719 our score as we begin the second [39:55] half of action here from Blaine High [39:57] School. Bill Hup here on North Metro TV. [40:00] It'll be Spring Lake Park Basketball as [40:03] we start things. They'll be going right [40:04] to left on your screen here in this [40:08] second half. Blaine used a 120 run to [40:11] erase a two-point deficit [40:14] and they lead it 2719. That was late in [40:17] the first half. And that's uh where we [40:19] stand. Marley Jansen led them in scoring [40:21] with eight points. Amelia Richie and [40:24] Alexis Airheart had six a piece. Two for [40:29] Rosie Rkusky and Kaden or uh rather [40:32] Brianna Cummings and three for [40:38] Kaden Allstre [40:40] there. Bengals push ahead in transition, [40:45] try to collect themselves as Spring Lake [40:47] Park goes to a matchup zone. Dribble [40:51] drive. Wild shot thrown up. Good rebound [40:54] there by [40:56] Mattie Barry and then it's snatched [40:58] down. Barry sat most of the first half [41:00] with foul trouble. [41:04] Kendall Cro Krauss into the front court [41:07] >> in the block for Berscie Dixon [41:09] underneath [41:11] >> and then it's dribbled out of bounds off [41:13] of the leg of a Bengal and so it'll [41:17] remain down here with Spring Lake Park. [41:19] Panthers were led in scoring by Anna [41:21] Smolich and Jaylen Berscy Dixon with [41:23] eight a piece. Two for Jalissa Jackson [41:25] and one for Llaya Beni. So it was really [41:28] Smich and Berscie Dixon and that was it. [41:31] post players for Spring Lake Park. And [41:34] considering that Blaine's strength is in [41:37] their guard play and their deficiency is [41:39] in the post, that's not surprising. And [41:42] obviously those are two really good [41:43] players and Berscie Dixon and Smolich. [41:46] Percy Dixon trying to feed Smich. [41:48] Instead, she goes back out on high for [41:51] Krauss. [41:54] [cheering] [41:55] Matchup zone employed and stolen away. [41:58] Saw a lot of that in the first half. [42:00] from Rusky. Lays it in on the other end. [42:07] SLP too many times feeding back up top. [42:10] They had 14 turnovers in the first half, [42:12] 15th of the game. And it's back to a [42:15] 10-point lead. [42:21] >> 3 seconds and another turnover on Spring [42:25] Lake Park. [42:30] Danger time here for the Panthers as [42:32] they want to keep pace. [42:41] >> They have Smulich for 10 on the [42:43] scoreboard. There's a three-pointer on [42:45] the way and it's good. [42:50] Anna Schmo uh Schloman, [42:53] they have her for five. I thought that [42:56] was her first basket of the game. [43:00] >> But again, the largest lead of the game, [43:02] 3219. [43:04] Whipped underneath and again too tall [43:10] as Kendall Krauss tried to feed Smolich [43:12] down in the post. [43:15] Hardy the third turnover of the half [43:19] for Bart Johnson's crew. [43:23] Again, the matchup zone employed. [43:26] Good ball movement by the Bengals. [43:28] Three-pointer from the corner off the [43:30] mark. Offensive rebound. Tough to [43:32] rebound in a zone typically. And that's [43:35] proving to be true again. And this time [43:37] they make them pay. Good ball movement. [43:40] And a three for Rosie Rusky. [43:44] Five and a half for her. And the lead [43:47] just keeps being stretched. 80 run out [43:50] of the timeout. [cheering] And a 20 [43:52] second timeout taken [applause] [43:55] by Bart Johnson. I should say 80 run out [43:58] of the half. [44:08] >> So an 80 run to start the second half [44:13] for the Bengals. [44:16] >> Keyed by a couple three-pointers by [44:18] Alyssa Schloman and Rosie Rkusky. [44:22] And if Blaine can start hitting threes, [44:24] that is going to make them very tough. [44:26] They had four in the third first half. [44:28] They've already got two here in the [44:30] second half. Meanwhile, [44:33] for Spring Lake Park, [44:36] they have yet to hit a three-pointer. [44:38] It's not really their game. They're more [44:39] of a inside post presence team, [44:43] but [44:45] they need to do something to get it [44:47] going. [44:53] Right [44:54] into the corner for Krauss [44:58] >> up top trying to feed and then right has [45:01] it tied up and it'll be back to [45:05] [cheering] Blaine and again just a tough [45:08] pass to whip inside for Smolich. [45:12] >> Not enough tough, not enough touch as [45:14] Jalissa Jackson returns [45:16] >> for the Panthers. [45:25] Both teams employing a matchup zone here [45:27] out of the half. Three minutes gone by. [45:29] Second half. Short jumper in the lane. [45:31] No good. Ripped down is Natty Barry [45:35] fouled on the floor by Delissa Jackson. [45:40] Or are they going to get uh I beg your [45:42] pardon. Are they going to get Yeah, [45:43] that's [45:45] >> going to get Kendall Krauss her third [45:50] >> as Jensen returns for the Bengals. [45:56] >> First team foul of the second half on [45:59] SLP, but critically the third on Kendall [46:02] Krauss. [46:21] Bengals can afford to be patient with a [46:24] 16-point lead. [46:27] >> Whipped underneath. Beautiful find, but [46:29] can't make the layup. Mattie Barry [46:32] seemed almost surprised that she got it. [46:38] right [46:41] >> calls up uh Percy Dixon. [46:46] >> Dribble drive. Krauss crashes into a [46:49] defender and a block is called [46:52] Jansen says it should be on the floor. [47:00] >> Jansen's first team first, but it's a [47:02] shooting foul. [47:08] So Krauss with her first points of the [47:11] game. [47:16] >> Rusky returns [47:24] and Krauss goes two for two. First [47:27] points of the second half for Spring [47:29] Lake Park. They finally get over 20. [47:32] This is a team that averages nearly 60 [47:33] points a game and only gives up 44. [47:41] So they're just not having a good [47:43] shooting night. And certainly Blaine's [47:45] defense has something to do with that. [47:47] Good steal by Ann Wright. Lefty layup is [47:50] good. [47:53] So, right takes advantage of the [47:57] >> lofted pass [47:59] and forces the turnover. 40 little burst [48:02] for Spring Lake Park and that's quickly [48:05] ended [48:08] as a three-pointer drilled by [48:13] Cummings. [48:15] [cheering] [48:16] Another three-pointer in this half as [48:19] Buren Dixon. with teams trading baskets [48:23] now. She's into double figures with 10. [48:27] She and Smich. [48:29] 38-25 our score. [48:37] >> Three-pointer from the corner once more. [48:39] No good. [48:41] Now they'll trap near the baseline and [48:43] Krauss loses it out of bounds. [48:46] [cheering and applause] [48:48] unofficially the 19th turnover of the [48:51] game for Spring Lake Park [49:02] >> in the corner. Three on the way off the [49:04] mark. [49:11] Jansen puts it on the deck, skips it [49:14] crosscourt. Three-pointer is good. [49:17] offensive rebounds. You cycle it around [49:20] and you make them pay. Alexis Airheart [49:23] with nine. [49:26] Really equal opportunity scoring here as [49:28] the lead is back to 16 for Blaine. [49:35] Four players in the second half for the [49:37] Bengals. They've hit a three. Percy [49:38] Dixon can't find the bottom of the net [49:41] for Spring Lake Park. They're still [49:42] searching for their first three. [49:44] Good pass ahead and Berscie Dixon swats [49:47] it away. [49:49] >> She's going end to end. [49:52] >> Right. Bounces it in the post for [49:54] Smolich over the left shoulder and she [49:56] scores. [49:58] So that's what's been working. Anna [50:00] Smolich [50:04] down low. Three-pointer on the way. No [50:06] good. Blaine seems like they're only [50:09] shooting threes and SLP seems like [50:11] they're just looking for [50:16] inside [50:17] points. [50:22] 4127 our score [50:26] inside of 12 minutes to go. [50:28] Krauss [50:36] >> Jackson skips between defenders. Percy [50:38] Dixon from the left wing is good. First [50:41] three-pointer of the game for Spring [50:43] Lake Park. Percy Dixon [50:46] drains the triple. 4130 and a turnover [50:50] on Blaine. [50:52] A little bit of momentum now for Spring [50:54] Lake Park as they try to claw their way [50:56] back into this one. Percy Dixon with 13 [50:59] leads all scorers. [51:19] Could [51:20] have been a travel. Wasn't [51:24] >> Percy Dixon [51:26] >> does travel. [cheering] [51:29] [applause] [51:29] Sixth turnover of the half on Spring [51:31] Lake Park. [51:34] >> And some of those like that wasn't even [51:37] in a forced error. That was just a [51:38] mistake. [51:40] Was an unforced error. [51:45] Chloe Dur comes back in try to help [51:48] break this pressure. [51:55] >> I'll beg your pardon. Apply pressure. [51:59] >> Skip pass finds its way to the right [52:02] wing. Three-pointer no good. Another [52:03] offensive rebound. Schlomman's three is [52:05] no good. [52:07] >> Der off her hands and out of play. [52:23] Anglehaft returns for Blaine. [52:41] >> [cheering] [52:41] >> skipped out of bounds by the Bengals. So [52:44] turns back over to SLP. [53:01] Former Rapids football coach Nick [53:03] Russen on the bench these days for [53:07] Blaine [53:11] in the middle and work it down in the [53:13] post and Llaya Beni will go to the free [53:15] throw line to shoot too. [53:23] Amelia Richie's second personal foul, [53:26] second of the half on Blaine. [53:31] [cheering] [53:35] >> So Banky, all two of her points have [53:38] come at the charity strike. [53:43] >> Make that three. [53:48] >> 4132. Back to a single digit lead for [53:50] Blaine. [53:52] Now they're in a bit of a scoring [53:53] drought. [53:56] The zone causing a little bit of [53:57] problems. Schlomman picks up the [54:01] dribble, bounces for Barry. Back to [54:04] Schloman. One-handed pass to the right [54:06] to the far corner. [54:09] And good timeout here taken by Alex [54:12] Walls. [54:13] A full timeout. first of the game that [54:17] he's called as he didn't like the ball [54:19] movement that he was seeing from his [54:21] team. [54:23] So, he'll uh gather his players and give [54:28] them a little instruction. [54:33] Bengals trying to stay at top the [54:35] conference and improve their record in [54:37] league play to five and one [54:41] >> after losing back-to-back games to [54:45] Centennial [54:47] >> and then [54:53] >> Delano. [54:56] They've won three straight. [54:58] They have settled into conference play [55:00] nicely. [55:02] >> Normally Elk River is a power, but [55:07] they have not faced them yet. [55:18] So, out of the timeout, [55:22] >> Blaine averaging for what it's worth, 56 [55:24] points [music] a game. They're on pace [55:27] for that. [55:30] So angle hopped [55:41] >> three-pointer off the mark. A line drive [55:44] three. It's Oh, that looked like it [55:47] might have been off Spring Lake Park, [55:48] but instead it'll go the way of the [55:51] Panthers [55:54] >> as Derer checked out of the game. [56:07] Krauss tries to feed back and it goes [56:10] out of bounds. [56:14] Wanted to give it back to a cutting uh [56:18] Beni, but instead it's another turnover. [56:22] Just not on the same page. [56:24] So it stays down on this end with the [56:26] Bengals with inside of 10 minutes left. [56:34] >> Swung near side. [56:37] Richie bounced up top for Schlomman. [56:43] Schlomman thought about it. Could have [56:45] pulled the trigger on the three, but [56:46] instead she's battling for it now. And [56:49] it's a jump ball and it's going to go [56:52] the way of the Panthers. So little bit [56:55] tentative with the basketball and [56:59] Smletch in company able to force the [57:01] turnover. [57:09] >> More substitutions forthcoming for Coach [57:12] Walls and the Bengals. [57:21] as Rosie Rusky returns. [57:30] >> Krauss comes to the basketball in the [57:32] near corner. [57:35] >> Percy Dixon holds [57:39] right hand dribble attacks and has her [57:41] shot blocked. Marley Jensen read that [57:44] play well. She dribbles across the [57:47] timeline moving to her right. [57:51] Jensen pops a three and hits. [57:55] Harley Jensen her third triple of the [57:57] game. [58:01] That's a big bucket. Back to a 12-point [58:04] lead. [58:08] >> Right makes a move. Stops in the lane. [58:10] Missed the layup. can't get her own [58:11] rebound. [58:16] The Bengals clear. [58:23] >> Bounced underneath. Beautiful layup. [58:25] Beautiful find from Jansen as she finds [58:28] Barry for Natty's first points. [58:32] Meanwhile, we've got a jump ball [58:37] >> after Blaine had thought that was a [58:39] turnover. [58:44] And that should be the Bengals [58:46] basketball as again I don't think the [58:49] >> time of possession. [58:51] [cheering] [58:53] You got to fix that arrow. [58:58] And so sure enough, Blaine forces the [59:00] turnover [59:02] with some backcourt pressure. [59:12] 4632 our score a 14-point Bengals lead. [59:19] >> So now the key is to switch that arrow. [59:26] >> Bengals with the alternate possession. [59:27] Three-pointer on the way and it's good. [59:32] >> Brianna Cummings drains her second [59:34] triple of the half. A pair of [59:36] three-point field goals have made it [59:38] 4932. [59:41] And all of a sudden, it's the largest [59:42] lead. Then a steel [59:45] and a bucket. Marley Jansen. Maybe a [59:48] time for a timeout for Spring Lake Park. [59:52] 19 points the lead [59:54] and 80 run the difference. [60:02] And sure enough, Spring Lake Park takes [60:04] a timeout. [60:08] A pair of triples [60:11] surrounded by a turnover [60:14] and then a steal. So really really it [60:17] was it was two steals [60:21] and two three-pointers [60:24] plus a uh a steal and a layup. [60:29] That has really stretched this thing [60:31] out. [60:32] And it was a 12-point lead, but this [60:35] little 70 burst has made it a 19-point [60:37] lead. [60:39] >> And [60:42] it's 5132 now. [60:46] And unless Spring Lake Park can mount a [60:49] ferocious comeback, [60:51] they will suffer their first defeat of [60:53] the season. [60:57] Again, this is a young team. tough road [61:00] test against the top team in the [61:01] conference. Six underassman in their [61:04] rotation [61:09] and easily the best team they've faced [61:11] this season. [61:31] right to trigger to the inbounds out of [61:33] the timeout. [61:35] Gets it to Smolich. They've gotten away [61:37] from Smolich and Bersie Dixon and [61:39] they've got to get back to them if they [61:41] hope to have offense cuz they are not [61:43] doing enough. And sure enough, Wright [61:45] travels 10th turnover of the first of [61:48] the second half, I should say. [61:51] unofficially 24th of the game. [61:53] [cheering] [62:00] >> But I I just don't think Spring Lake [62:01] Park has faced this kind of defensive [62:03] pressure [62:04] that Blaine can can provide. Coach [62:07] Wallace has to be very happy with what [62:10] his team is doing on the defensive end [62:13] and from three-point. [62:18] Six three-pointers now in the second [62:20] half after just four in the first half [62:22] as a foul [62:24] called on the other end [62:32] >> as Cummings whistled for that personal. [62:35] Third team foul of the second half. [62:42] Smolich [62:45] picks up the dribble, [62:47] feeds Berscie Dixon in the lane. Nice up [62:50] and under, and she draws the foul on [62:52] Jansen. You just don't have anyone with [62:55] the size of Bercy Dixon. So Jansen [62:57] having to cover her and that's a [63:00] mismatch when you get in that deep. [63:03] 13 points for the game for Jaylen Bersie [63:07] Dixon. [63:10] Free throw rolls in and out. Neither [63:12] team has shot very well from the line [63:14] tonight. [63:30] And sure enough, Percy Dixon 0 for two [63:34] >> and then commits a foul [63:37] trying to pressure the basketball. [63:38] Blocking foul on [63:42] the junior. [63:45] Just the second team foul of the half on [63:47] Spring Lake Park. [64:03] stops and pops. Jansen misses it. Layup [64:06] no good. That's the thing is both these [64:08] teams scoring could be much higher if if [64:12] their layups were dropping. Nice move [64:15] though by Wright who got uh got it to go [64:19] for two. [64:22] 5134 [cheering] [64:24] underneath. Beautiful dish. [64:28] Great pass by Nhard. [64:31] Keep calling her Nhard. Airheart. [64:34] Get it right one of these days. McCusky [64:36] with eight now in the half. [64:41] 5334 [64:48] >> underneath [64:50] [cheering] and the foul called. [64:52] >> [applause] [64:55] >> as Jansen, who has come off the bench to [65:00] be a real spark. 13 points to lead [65:04] Blaine in scoring here tonight, will [65:06] step to the free throw line. Jansen [65:10] getting some looks from division three [65:12] schools. [65:15] >> Can't get the first free throw to drop. [65:26] try to make it a 20-point lead here. [65:32] Long no good. So, neither team [65:37] able to cash in at the free throw line [65:38] on those trips. [65:46] And then Berscie Dixon and Krauss not on [65:48] the same page. Turnover on SLP. [66:03] >> I think Bersie Dixon expected Krauss to [66:05] stay there and then Krauss [66:09] >> vacated trying to go to the corner. [66:17] Lot happening there as uh Airheart [66:21] airma mailed the pass for Hopped [66:28] SLP. [66:31] breaks the pressure [66:39] right in the corner. [66:43] Spinning Benihopped [66:47] was straight up and down but called for [66:49] the personal her. [67:12] Think he has been money at the charity [67:15] strike today. [67:18] It's [67:18] >> where all five of her points have come. [67:24] 5336. [67:34] >> Percy Dixon loses it. [67:37] Spinning in the lane and the layup is [67:39] good as Rusky takes a shot to the face. [67:45] 5536 a 19-point lead. Percy Dixon [67:49] rebounds the ball. Goes to the floor. [67:51] Slow to get up. [67:53] Three-pointer from the corner. No good. [67:58] This game getting a little ragged here [68:00] in the second half. Three-pointer on the [68:02] way. Off the mark. [68:04] And ultimately, I think you have seen [68:06] some tired kids out there as Beni can't [68:09] keep it in play. It's been a very back [68:12] and forth up and down game. The pace [68:16] very high. [68:19] I [68:19] >> think you're seeing that with some of [68:20] these shots with tired legs. [68:32] >> Bengals [68:33] go to work on the offensive end. Can [68:36] afford to be patient here. Three-pointer [68:38] straight on for Richie is good. [68:40] [cheering and applause] [68:41] Amelia Richie [68:44] hit one in the first half. She's hit [68:45] another one here in the second half. [68:48] Largest lead of the game now at 22. [68:56] >> 5836 [68:57] inside of 4 and 1/2 minutes to go. [69:01] Three-pointer from the corner off the [69:03] mark. Plenty of time to line that one [69:05] up. And then the Bengals can't keep it [69:08] in play. [69:13] How many fouls in this half? just five [69:15] to three. [69:18] But the Bengals, as coach Walls [69:21] promised, pressuring from end to end 94 [69:24] ft. [69:35] >> Ducking inside. No good. [69:39] [cheering] Whipped ahead for Richie. [69:41] bangs into her defender and draws the [69:44] foul as Krauss [69:48] commits the personal. [69:50] Her fourth. [69:56] So Ameilia Richie who's got nine looking [69:58] to be the third Bengal in double [70:01] figures. [70:21] trying to make it two for two and can't [70:24] 23 points the largest lead. The Bengals [70:27] get the offensive rebound. [70:30] >> They'll back it out. [70:32] >> Richie wants a right wing three. No [70:34] good. [70:42] stop pop right misses off of a Bengal [70:45] and it'll stay here. [70:48] Surprised that uh Soomn didn't get more [70:51] run here in the second half. She's back [70:53] in the game. She's provided some nice [70:55] energy off the bench, [71:07] >> but does turn it over on that bounce [71:09] pass [71:12] off the inbounds. [71:14] Three-pointer right wing. No good. [71:17] Rebound, [71:20] >> Barry. [71:25] Barry wants another three from the [71:27] corner this time. No good. [71:30] >> Couple of kids go crashing to the floor [71:34] and Spring Lake Park clears ahead for [71:36] Krauss [71:38] lays it in. Kendall Krauss. [71:41] The ball of energy as she goes [71:44] in for the layup. She's been just [71:46] running up and down this whole game. [71:51] 5938 our score. Bengals turn it over and [71:54] now they'll start to empty the bench [71:57] [applause] [71:58] >> with the game well in hand. Fifth [72:01] turnover of the half on Blaine. [72:04] Blaine will finish [applause] well right [72:06] now at least has 15 14 turnovers. But [72:10] they uh they were the ones that really [72:12] caused the defensive [72:16] issues. [72:18] Chloe Door back in [72:27] Solomon. [72:29] Little jump hook in the lane. Nice shot. [72:32] Greta Solom, the senior. [72:35] Little clutch shot. Haven't seen [72:37] Mallerie Mayer [72:40] yet, which we thought she'd be in the [72:42] rotation. Of course, the daughter, [72:44] freshman daughter of the boys coach [72:47] Oliver Major. Bengals able to save it, [72:50] but only to Berscie Dixon. Two and a [72:51] half minutes to go. Soomle. [72:55] Beautiful pass underneath. Nice find for [72:58] Smolich [73:00] for two. 40 burst here to make it 5942. [73:05] It's all academic though with just two [73:07] minutes remaining in the game. [73:10] >> Bengals wisely back it out. [73:13] hopped angle hopped rather with a long [73:15] three back iron [73:17] and it'll [73:19] >> belong to Spring Lake Park. So the [73:21] Panthers will suffer their first loss of [73:24] the season. They'll fall to seven and [73:25] one, three- one in conference play. And [73:29] meanwhile, [73:31] Blaine will improve to 8 and three on [73:34] the season. Four straight wins for the [73:36] Bengals and a conference best five and [73:39] one. and they'll solidify their position [73:42] at top the Northwest Suburban [73:43] Conference. Two minutes to go in the [73:44] game. [73:46] Loey Der [73:49] dribble drive tries to bounce it. [73:58] >> Smitch [73:59] spinning inside. Missed the layup. Bcy [74:01] Dixon did too. And the Bengals clear. [74:13] Anglehopped a regular as Ellie Bachman [74:18] a senior out there [74:20] can't get the layup to go. Anglehopped [74:22] snaps the rebound down. [74:26] Three-pointer left wing. [74:32] >> Derer snares it. [74:45] one three-pointer for the whole game for [74:47] Spring Lake Park. [74:51] >> Meanwhile, the Bengals had four in the [74:53] first half and [74:57] seven in the second half. So, 11 [75:00] three-pointers for the game versus one. [75:02] And that kind of tells the story right [75:05] there. [75:09] Nice little jump shot in the lane there [75:14] by uh Mariana Price. [75:18] 6142. [75:21] And largest lead of the game for the [75:23] Bengals, 23. It's a 19-point lead now. [75:26] >> Percy Dixon can't get it to go. Still [75:29] battling. And she'll go to the free [75:31] throw line for two. [75:37] Big thanks to cameraman Mike Peterson [75:40] and producer AV Becker for their help [75:43] tonight. [75:44] Great job as always. [76:00] Just sad I can't name director Ted Laroo [76:03] and one or two random members of the [76:05] crew and then saying our entire crew at [76:07] North TV on the roll out and then make [76:11] it take way too long. 17 seconds to go. [76:14] An 18-point lead for Blaine. [76:24] Still not in the bonus. [76:26] >> So that Spring Lake Park foul does not [76:28] matter. [76:32] >> Angle hopped. [76:35] >> Will hold. [76:41] Backman trying to score. No more fouls. [76:45] As time has expired here at Blaine High [76:47] School, the Bengals win their fourth [76:50] straight 6143 [76:54] over SLP. [76:59] Spring Lake Park suffers its first [77:00] defeat of the season. They fall to 7 and [77:03] one. Bang Plane stays at top the [77:06] Northwest Suburban Conference. They [77:07] improved to 5- one in conference play [77:09] and 8 and3 overall. So that'll do it for [77:13] us here in Blaine. Again, the final, the [77:16] Bengals defend their home court over to [77:18] the rival Spring Lake Park Panthers in a [77:21] cat clash by a final score of 6143.
