A focused Paige Klug of Caledonia goes for the blocked shot of Rushford-Peterson’s Kaylee Ruberg in the teams’ TRC match-up. The #14 Warriors downed the Trojans 63-38 to complete a perfect sweep through their TRC competition (14-0). Caledonia (22-3) is 1AA’s 3-seed in the playoffs.

Grand Meadow’s girls entered the final week of the regular season controlling their own destiny to share the SEC-West title. They had the win two winnable SEC contests (and hope for some help to win the West out-right). A non-conference game was their toughie. At Blooming Prairie, Ryan Queensland’s group built a 45-33 lead late. GM was up 10 (45-35) with 1:28 left and eight (45-37) with 1:09 left. But the Blossoms then scored eight straight points, including hitting two threes. Macy Lembke’s triple tied the game at 45-45 (0:17)! In the final 0:06, Lark Kendyl Queensland missed a free throw line jumper, but Rebecca Hoffman banked in an offensive-rebound odd-angle block put-back over a BP defender for the game-winner! GM snuck away the victor, 47-45. Lexy Foster (17 pts, 10 rebs, 5 stls) and Sydney Cotten (13 pts, 5-9 FTs, 6 asts) led the way. The Larks went 9 of 20 (45%) to BP’s 8 of 11 (73%) at the free throw line. GM then took care of business in the SEC, beating L-O 57-25 and Schaffer Academy 60-44. Foster (16 pts, 6-9 FGs, 4-7 threes), K-Queensland (16 pts, 5-9 FGs, 3-6 threes, 5 rebs), and L-Queensland (11 pts, 3-6 threes, 9 rebs) did work versus the Cardinals. Cotten chipped in 4 (pts), 4 (rebs), 9 (asts), and 4 (stls). Jordan Runde and Benita Nolt each had 8 points for L-O. GM hit 12 of 33 threes (36%) while L-O was 1 of 19 (5%). Versus Schaeffer, GM’s 15th straight win, Foster (18 pts, 7-12 FGs, 4-5 threes, 12 rebs), Cotten (14 pts, 7-11 FGs, 6 rebs, 4 stls), and L-Queensland (13 pts, 5-9 FGs) made double-figures. Lanesboro beat Kingsland, 57-56 (See “Burros Nip Knights”), enabling the #9 in A Larks (17-1, 24-2) to win the SEC-West over the Knights (16-2, 20-5). See “Hot Shots” for playoff seeding.
