Boys Basketball: Caledonia Takes Fourth at State

March 31, 2025 by Paul Trende

A relatively somber bunch of Caledonia Warriors poses with their state Class AA Fourth Place trophy. Team Cal went 1-2 at state, but in each of their losses, they resiliently came back to tie after trailing by 20-plus points. The Warriors finish an excellent year with a 29-4 record. Photo by Paul Trende

On one level, Caledonia boys basketball will be disappointed. They took on the 2025 state Class AA tournament going 1-2. They lost their last two games and thus took fourth place. There is no shame in fourth, but the Warriors were only a few plays away from making the state title game. As it were, their two loss es were resilient comeback that fell short. On a different level, … [Read more...]

Caledonia Grabs State Consolation Championship  Caledonia’s girls basketball finished a fantastic season as one of three 1AA teams with at least two wins at state.  They were also one of just three AA teams to finish their state run with a win.  A quarterfinal loss put a damper on competing for a state title or third place.  But Scott Sorenson’s group rallied with two wins … [Read more...]

Trojans Fight Past Knights, Shoot Down Rebels, Make 1A Title Game Rushford-Peterson boys basketball’s last trip to the 1A finals was 2017-2018.   For Trojans fans, ones used to state trip after state trip in the early 2010s, that probably seems like an eternity.  The 2017-2018 team was their last to make the big dance.  R-P has lost three 1A semifinals contests since.  But … [Read more...]

Chatfield and Staples-Motley were destined for each other all year.  Dating back to “The Clash” in early January, when the Cardinals took fourth, the Gophers sixth, it was evident the two powerhouse programs were the crème of the Class A crop.  Even before wrestling season, they did battle.  S-M topped Chatfield 36-24 in the Class AA football semis.  Top-ranked Chatfield … [Read more...]

Girls Basketball: #5 Warriors Whip Their Way to 1AA Title Game Both games were won handily.  There was no semifinals disappointment.  Top-ranked #5 in AA Caledonia (1-seed, 24-3) plowed through Zumbrota-Mazeppa and Cotter to make the 1AA finals.  In the quarters, the Warriors did not exactly shoot well from deep in the first half, making five threes in 20 attempts (25%).  But … [Read more...]
