high school basketball

An announcer at a High School basketball game got on the microphone and yelled at the fans in the crowd and told them to "shut up!"

The Cardinals knew that even though Southland only had 6 wins on the season coming into the playoff game Thursday night at Van Orsow Auditorium, that it was not going to be an easy game.

Thursday night the Bethlehem Academy Cardinal boys basketball team managed to come back against the tough Goodhue Wildcats. Friday night as they were down against the Buccaneers, they tried really hard but could not get ahead this time.

Overall the Faribault Falcons gave a fairly good defensive effort on Friday night against the Mankato West Scarlets, but some poor shooting made it impossible to get the win as the Scarlets won 62-41.

B.A. was without starters, Jack Clark and Alex Bongers. So others had to step up and play more and longer during the game.

Friday night the 3-6 Cannon Falls Bombers went to Doge Center to face the 4-5 Triton Cobras. It looked like the Cobras were going to run away with it at first as they got off to a pretty good run. But then the Bombers started hitting shots and got to with in 3 at halftime 32-29.

Thursday night the Faribault Falcons made the trip to Red Wing to face the Wingers. Faribault went into the game at 2-5 and the Wingers were 3-6.

Minneapolis North is a repeat as the Class 1A Champion and will bump up to Class 2A next season. One of their wins was against this year's Class 2A title holder Minnehaha Academy, which happens to be in Minneapolis. So next year it would not be out of the question to see two Minneapolis schools play for the Class 2A title...
