Mandt, Tekautz, and Thomas Grapple to State

Fillmore County Journal Athlete of the Week ~ Brianna Koop
Cold Water, 2,000, and #1
It was another big week of R-P girls basketball. On Monday, Brianna Koop fouled like she normally scores (often), so Savannah Skalet dissipated Houston’s spin. Dale Moga’s ‘Canes had a chance with Koop mostly on the bench. The game was tied at halftime. Houston trailed 36-34 with 10:00 left. R-P then went on a 10-run (46-34). Eight came as second-chance-points. Skalet (6) … [Read more...]
East Champs M-C…Go to OT
They aren’t big, nor upperclassmen-laden. M-C girls basketball play bigger than they are, with discipline, and they have senior stand-out Coranda Vickerman. Adam Wilder’s girls beat Schaeffer Academy 57-52 to clinch the SEC-East division. Vickerman (24 pts, 9-16 FGs, 5-6 FTs, 10 rebs) led the way, as she’s done for three years now. M-C’s other senior, Courtney Graves, added 16 … [Read more...]

But for one night, they besieged Kingsland with a couple upsets. The Gopher boys hit their first seven, 16 of their first 19, and 22 of 30 first half field goals (10-15 threes) for a 54-33 halftime … [Read more...]
