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...]

Boys Basketball (3/24)

March 24, 2025 by Paula Barness

Rushford-Peterson’s lone senior, Caden Johnson holds the Section 1A runner-up trophy as his younger teammates converge. The Trojans trailed most of the section title game versus Goodhue, but made a comeback that fell just short, as the Wildcats prevailed 84-79. Photo by Paul Trende

#3 Warriors Fulfill Destiny, Romp to 1AA Title There is no argument as to who the best boys team is in Section 1AA this year.  State third-ranked and 1-seed Caledonia (27-2), by virtue of its commanding win over Lake City in the 1AA title game, added the Tigers to the list of vanquished section foes.  And all have been vanquished emphatically.   Amidst Caledonia’ 14-0 record … [Read more...]

Girls Basketball (3/24)

March 24, 2025 by Paul Trende

Caledonia girls basketball ended its amazing season by going 2-1 at the state tournament, winning the consolation bracket, taking fifth place. The team’s only two seniors, Josie Foster and Sienna Augedahl hold the trophy and ball. The Warriors finish at 29-4. Photo by Sara Klug

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...]

#5 Warriors Fulfill Promise, Top D-E for Section 1AA Title The last two post-seasons have ended in hard disappointment for Caledonia girls basketball.  Two years ago, a senior-laden Warrior team made the Section final versus Goodhue, only to fall 78-58.  Last year, the Warriors led Rochester-Lourdes 31-19 at intermission and by 16 in the second half only for Eagle Aaliyah … [Read more...]
