The Faribault Falcons outscored the Owatonna Huskies by 20 points in the paint in a convincing 60-45 win in Owatonna on Thursday night. Faribault had 36 points and Owatonna 16 in the paint in what I thought was the statistic of the game. Faribault ran their offense to near perfection in the first half, taking a 26-19 halftime lead, and scored 18 points while limiting Owatonna to six points in the

The Awesome Blossoms were just that, awesome on the glass in a 42-33 win over the Knights in what I call the Blossoms' Garden in Blooming Prairie. Kenyon-Wanamingo lost their leading scorer, junior Mara Quam, early in the game and the Knights surely missed her on the floor...

Rushford-Peterson captured the third boys basketball title for their community. Minneapolis DeLaSalle won its fourth straight title. Melrose and Apple Valley also won.

The No. 2-rated and No. 2-seeded Apple Valley Eagles fended off their South Suburban Conference mates from Lakeville North 67-58 on Thursday night to advance to the Class AAAA championship game Saturday. The seconds were dwindling in the first half when Lakeville North was waiting to work for a last shot down by six and turned the ball over only to see Gary Trent Jr...
