Anoka-Ramsey Jamboree - 11:00 A.M. Scrimmage - Rainy River vs Iowa Lakes 10-19-19

The next scrimmage I covered in the 11:00 A.M. slot was the one between Rainy River and Iowa Lakes.  In this one, scoring would come at a premium in the first 10-minute stanza with Rainy River holding a 5-4 advantage at the end.  Once the second 10-minute stanza got it going, Iowa Lakes finally started showing some life on offense and held an 8-5 lead at the 8:23 mark.  One three-point bomb shortly thereafter helped Iowa Lakes get their lead to 13-5 with 1:23 left and Rainy River; despite several opportunities down the stretch, could not muster any offensive answers at all and Iowa Lakes would end this second stanza up 13-5.

Rainy River got off to a much better start in the third 10-minute stanza with a nice three-point play capped off by an "and one".  Iowa Lakes on the other hand, struggled offensively which allowed Rainy River to cut the deficit down to four point at 15-11 by the end of the third stanza.  But some of the mistakes that cost Rainy River in the second stanza started rearing their ugly head again in the fourth 10-minute stanza as Iowa Lakes upped their lead to 18-12 by the 5:00 mark and would take this one at the end by a final score of 24-16.
