Back On The Sidelines For 2014

Director Ernest Duberry to coach the Minnesota Heat Northwest 16U team this spring/summer season.

Holiday Basketball Tournaments

 

 Granite City Classic

When, where: Friday and Saturday, St. Cloud State University
Teams: Fourteen teams including Class 4A, No. 1 Apple Valley, No. 5 Champlin Park, No. 9 Roseville, No. 16 Prior Lake and No. 19 St. Francis; Class 3A, No. 6 Delano, No. 10 Big Lake and No. 15 Blake; and Class 1A, No. 1 Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa.
Of note: The defending Class 4A state champion Eagles, led by Duke-bound Tyus Jones, play Roseville in the final game on Friday and Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa in the last game on Saturday. Roseville will also square off with Champlin Park on Saturday. Blake opens the tournament against Big Lake. The Bears have struggled through their first seven games (3-4), and play Big Lake on Friday.

Rochester Rotary Classic
When, where: Thursday through Saturday, Mayo Civic Center
Teams: Defending champion Class 4A, No. 11 Woodbury returns to the eight-team field. So does No. 6 Osseo, which won back-to-back titles in 2010 and 2011. Those two schools could be a semifinal matchup. Other ranked teams include No. 15 Minnetonka and Class 2A, No. 20 Rochester Lourdes.
Of note: Rochester might host the event, but it hasn’t provided much of a homecourt advantage. In the past 18 years, only one Rochester school (Mayo in 1999) has come away with the crown.

Lakeville North Tournament
When, where: Friday-Saturday, Lakeville North High School
Teams: A quaint but quality four-team field that features the host school and high-scoring forward J.P. Macura. The Xavier recruit already has eclipsed 40 points three times this season. Class 3A, No. 2 Holy Family will open against Class 4A, No. 17 Shakopee. Lakeville North, ranked No. 4 in Class 4A, plays White Bear Lake, which has already fallen to three ranked Class 4A teams.

Champlin Park 68 - Osseo 65

Memorial Magic Fizzles Out

  Ebo Nana-Kweson

MOORHEAD, Minn. (2/22/13)—They say that all good things must come to an end and that is what happened to the 2013 Memorial Magic as Concordia shot just 20.0% (5-for-25) from 3-point range and lost 74-67 to Augsburg in the semifinals of the MIAC playoffs.

Knights Knocked Out of MIAC Playoffs Despite 31 Points by Scott Theisen

 

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Senior Scott Theisen (Champlin, Minn/Champlin Park) was sensational. The versatile wing’s career-high tying 31 points helped the Carleton College men’s basketball team nearly knock off the nationally No. 1-ranked University of St. Thomas in the semifinals of the MIAC Playoffs. Theisen’s stellar performance, the highest post-season point total by a Knight in at least 15 years, was not enough, though, as St. Thomas used a late run to snap a tie and advance to the conference championship game by a score of 70-57.

Thiesen Selected to National Team-of-the-Week

 

NORTHFIELD, Minn. – Following a pair of strong all-around performances last week, senior Scott Theisen (Champlin, Minn./Champlin Park) was named to the D3hoops.com national team-of-the-week.
Theisen averaged 19.0 points, 8.0 assists, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.5 steals in the Knights’ two contests, shooting 60 percent from the field, including 4-of-8 from beyond the arc. This is the second time this season he was tabbed to five-player squad, having received the honor for his performances from Dec. 10-16, 2012.

Batting foul trouble during last Wednesday’s game versus Gustavus, Theisen still managed to stuff the stat sheet to the tune of 13 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists.
Due to tiebreakers, the Knights needed a win in Saturday’s regular-season finale vs. Hamline to earn a spot in the playoffs, and Theisen again delivered. He poured in a game-high 25 points and added 9 assists with 6 rebounds and 7 steals—tied for the highest total in the MIAC over the last four seasons. It was his 14th career 20+point effort (ninth this season) and tied for the third-highest point total of his career.

Zimmerman Awarded MIAC Athlete of the Week

 

The Bethel men's basketball team won its final two regular-season games last week to finish on a strong note and secure a spot in the 2012-13 MIAC Men's Basketball Playoffs. Junior Kyle Zimmerman (Champlin, Minn./Champlin Park) continued his sensational play down the stretch, as the forward averaged 20.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game while shooting 66.7 percent from the floor in the Royals' two wins last week. For his performance, Zimmerman was named the MIAC Men's Basketball Athlete-of-the-Week.
