A busy and fun night on this Wednesday evening. Over on Court 1 in the 6:15 PM slot, the Blue Devils team was taking on the Beavs team. The Blue Devils team would jump out to a 6-0 lead by the 7:05 mark of the opening period and they would hold an 8-3 lead by the midway point. Down the stretch of this first period, the Blue Devils team would go on a push that extended its lead to 17-6 by the end of the first period. The Beavs team managed to get back into single digit range down 24-17 with 3:20 left in the second period but the Blue Devils team would close out this second period with an 8-2 push that gave them a cushion with a 32-19 lead by the halftime break. The Blue Devils team would stretch this lead to 39-22 by the 7:00 mark of the third period and by the end of the third period, the Blue Devils had built a twenty-point cushion up 46-26. The Blue Devils would maintain this cushion by the 6:30 mark of the fourth period as they cruised to an easy win.........Over on Court 2, the Swish team was taking on the GAC Gold team and the Swish team would hold a 3-2 advantage at the 9:00 mark of the opening period but the GAC Gold team shook off the early cobwebs and grabbed a 9-4 advantage by the midway point and would maintain this five-point edge with a 13-8 lead by the end of the first period. The GAC Gold team would build its lead to 16-8 by the 7:30 mark of the second period and with just under two minutes left, the GAC Gold team appeared to be in full control with a 27-16 lead and the would still enjoy a 27-19 lead by the halftime break. But the Swish team would make serious inroads once the third period got underway as the GAC Gold team's lead was cut to 29-25 near the midway point before the GAC Gold could restore its double-digit advantage at 35-25 with 3:30 left. But a stubborn Swish team had things tightened up again as they were down only 35-30 by the end of the third period. The GAC Gold team would again build its lead with a 45-36 advantage midway through the fourth period but just like before, the Swish team made one last run at its opponent; cutting the deficit to five at 45-40 with 2:35 left and a short time later, the Swish team got back to within a single possession down 45-42 with 2:22 left. But the Swish team was unable to complete the deal as the GAC Gold team hung for a tough and fun win.........Two MIAC rivals who know each other quite well faced off over on Court 3 as the CSB team was taking on the Hammies team. The CSB team would jump out to a 5-0 lead by the 7:20 mark of the opening period although the Hammies team would cut the deficit to three down 9-6 near the midway point and things would still be close with the CSB team up 12-8 by the end of the first period. The CSB would start pulling away once the second period got underway as they would enjoy a 21-8 lead at the 6:35 mark and they would maintain this cushion with a 28-15 lead with 2:05 left. By the halftime break, the CSB team was up 31-19. The Hammies team seemed to get untracked once the third period got underway as the deficit was down to eleven at 37-28 near the midway point and the gap would be further closed as the CSB team's lead was down to just six at 40-34 with 3:10 left. But just when things looked a little dicey for the CSB team, they went on a key 6-0 push to own a 46-34 lead by the end of the third period. By the 6:40 mark of the fourth period, the CSB team had a sizable 51-35 lead as they coasted to an easy win.........Two other MIAC rivals squared off over on Court 4 in the 6:15 PM slot as the St. Olaf team was taking on the St. Kate's team. But there would be no drama in this one as the St. Olaf team quickly took control of things; getting a 4-0 lead at the 9:05 mark of the opening period and building the lead to 13-4 with 3:50 left. The St. Kate's team would at least tighten things up a bit with a late run that cut the deficit to five at 18-13 by the end of the first period and they would be down only 21-15 by the 8:30 mark of the second period. But then the St. Kate's team hit an avalanche and never recovered as the St. Olaf team was enjoying a 44-22 lead by the halftime break. The St. Olaf team would grow its lead to 54-24 by the 6:05 mark of the third period and the lead would balloon to 61-26 with 2:45 left as the St. Olaf team romped to an easy win.
An incredibly busy time in the 7:10 PM slot with five games going on so bear with me as I was going from hither to thither trying to keep track of things as best I could. Over on Court 1, two mixed teams were going at it as the Sara's Shooters team was taking on the She Got Game team. Although they weren't dominant from the outset, the Sara's Shooters team would hold a 13-7 lead at the 9:30 mark of the second period and would up that lead to 27-16 by the halftime break. The Sara's Shooters team would hold a 47-30 team by the 6:07 mark of the fourth period as they got the easy win on this night.......Over on Court 2, the Beavs team was doing double-duty on this night as they were going up against the Curry Crew team. The Beavs team would hold a 7-4 advantage at the 8:35 mark of the opening period but things soon unraveled for them as the Curry Crew team would come back and hold a 27-18 lead by the 8:27 mark of the second period. The Beavs team would get on a run that got them back to within a saingle possession down 27-24 with 4:55 left but they could not sustain this momentum as the Curry Crew team would pull away again and enjoy a 45-37 lead by the halftime break. By the 6:35 mark of the third period, the Curry Crew team had built a twenty-point cushion at 59-39 and there was little doubt from there as to how things were going to turn out. With 2:05 left, things were all but in the book with the Curry Crew up 84-65 as they got an easy win on this night as well........One of the better games on this night took place on Court 3 as the Anoka-Ramsey team was taking on the GAC Black team. This one would be tied early on a three a piece at the 8:20 mark of the opening period and things would stay tight with the GAC Black team up 9-7 at the end of the first period. The GAC Black would hold a 12-10 lead with 4:10 left in the second period but would manage to get on a run and hold a 23-11 lead by the halftime break. The GAC Black team still looked to be in very good shape up 26-15 by the 6:20 mark of the third period but the Anoka-Ramsey team slyly whittled their way back into the thick of things in the fourth period as they had the deficit down to six at 39-33 with 3:05 left and with just :05 left, the Anoka-Ramsey team had got back to within a single possession down 48-45 but the GAC Black team held on for an exciting win.........Another good game was going on over on Court 4 between the Baddies Elite team and the Arden Hills team. The Arden Hills team would have the upper hand early on with a 6-2 lead at the 6:35 mark of the opening period and they would hold a 13-7 advantage at the end of the first period and by the halftime break, the Arden Hills team had things going their way with a 35-23 lead. The Arden Hills team would still enjoy a 45-36 advantage by the midway point of the third period and by the 6:05 mark of the fourth period, this one appeared all but done with the Arden Hills team up 62-48. But a late run by the Baddies Elite team got the deficit down to four points at 62-58 with 2:53 left in regulation and with 1:40 left, the Baddies Elite team was back to within a single possession down 65-63. With just 1:05 left in regulation, the Arden Hills lead was down to a scant point a 67-66 but despite it all, the Arden Hills team hung on in a cliffhanger.......The one game I wish I could've watched more of took place back on Court 5 between the Scrubs team and the Washed-Up Warriors team. The Washed-Up Warriors team had the edge early on with a 10-4 lead with 3:52 left in the opening period but by the 5:10 mark of the second period, that lead had been cut to one at 24-23 and a three-point bomb by Macy Hatlestad (UST '21) put the Scrubs team out in front 26-24 a short time later. The Washed-Up Warriors team would come back and hold a 38-34 lead at the 5:55 mark of the third period but the Scrubs team would get this one leveled at 40-all with 2:44 left. A "3" by former Park Center standout McKenna DuBois pushed the Scrubs team back out in front 43-40 and the Scrubs team would hold a 46-43 advantage at the end of the third period and would win a fun one in a game that stayed close all the way.
Don't forget that there's games both Tuesday night (6-10) and Wednesday night (6-11). I won't be able to make it down Tuesday night but will definitely be there Wednesday night so make sure you get down to the Midtown YWCA to catch all the action.
