Was out at Anoka-Ramsey on this Friday evening for the Regional Title game between host Anoka-Ramsey and its closest challenger, Minnesota West. Anoka-Ramsey had won the conference tournament up in TR Falls the previous weekend so this was the final hurdle for them in their quest in getting back to Nationals down in Rochester.
This one stayed fairly even for the first ten minutes or so; in fact, Minnesota West actually grabbed the lead at 5-3 when sophomore LoRel Christensen banged home a "3" from the right wing at the 15:13 mark and they were able to expand that lead to 11-6 when fellow sophomore Sam Lynn knocked down a free throw at the 12:42 mark. But Anoka-Ramsey did not stay in the doldrums for long in this one. Freshman Tamarra Shorter's "3" at the 11:10 mark tied things up at 13-all at the 11:10 mark and the host team took the lead for good shortly afterward and was able to go into the locker room at halftime up 40-22 when freshman Jayme Hill sank a "3" before the buzzer. Anoka-Ramsey would control this game in the second half; maintaing that 15-20 point cushion throughout enroute to a 68-54 win and a berth in the National Tournament - an event that they would go on to win as well and claim yet another National Championship for the program.
