YM champions Minnetonka, Mens Final four brackets
Congratulations to the 2014 SAMS LDS Young Men's champions
Minnetonka They finished with the top seed and beat the second seed Andover team, tied at half time they pulled away and won 55-35.
For the Men:
The tournament is preceding as expected with all the top seeds advancing to the final 4 except a minor upset, number 5 Medicine Lake beat 4th seeded Twin Cities 1 (Spanish) to Advance.
The closest game was Shingle Creek edging Cedar Lake by 3.
This sets up the semi final matches with Top seed and defending champion Maple Grove playing upstart Medicine Lake ( trying to sweep volleyball and Basketball in the same season) at 7:00.
Following at 8:00 will be a rematch of second seed Shingle Creek and third seed Lake Nokomis, Shingle Creek won earlier by one point!
The Championship game will be between the winners at 9:30, all games will be at the Minneapolis (Crystal) building.
Good luck to all.
The committee is torn. Maple Grove has the best record and is the defending champions but they have won several games by less than a basket.
Word has it the Shingle Creek may be missing some players.
For the third year in a row the committee gives the edge to Lake Nokomis.
Good luck to all

Good Luck with that Zach!
With the young men's basketball league, ages range from 12 to 19 and can pose interesting Match ups.
In the picture is one of the more dramatic match up challenges. Zach from the Shingle Creek ward turned 12 last week, this was his first young men's game ever, he is guarding Brandon Lingen, who is 6'5" and will play tight end for the Gophers next year. Just a note, Zach hit his first two 3-point attempts and finished with 8 points all in the second half!
(sorry for the poor photo quality, Zach really does have a hand trying to block the shot)

Week 14 tournament updates
Whew, with spring breaks and Snow in the past... for now.... the tournaments continued.
In the young men's tournament there were some terrific games the most exciting had last years champions, Andover, playing Plymouth.
Plymouth featured Chandler who played for Orono and was a terrific floor general and hit 11 3-pointers for the night. They also had 6'5" Brandon Lingen, a tight end who played high school football for Wayzata and will play for the Gophers next year.
Plymouth jumped out to an early lead. Chandler had 19 points in the first half. Andover changed defenses at the half and came out with a box and one. That held Chandler to 9 points in the second half.
The game was tied with 5 seconds to go. Andover had to go the length of the court. The in-bounds pass went to half court, than a pass to the top of the key, than a quick pass to the wing. the shot went up, the buzzer went off, the shot was nothing but net. bedlam!
In the other final 4 game, Top ranked Minnetonka beat Elm Creek by 3.
Andover will try to defend it's title vs Minnetonka. They have played twice this year with each team winning once.
The game will be next Thursday 24 Apr. at 7:30 at the Crystal building.
For the men:
We had several close games with Maple Grove b beating Shore Veiw 35-34, and Medicine Lake beating Bloomington 64-62.
Thanks for everyone's help officiating and the great sportsmanship demonstrated, good luck to the remaining teams and everyone else have a nice Summer.
Put on your Calanders:
Mid Summer Tri-stake golf tournament tentatively set for Aug 16. More details to come.
Volleyball coach's meeting Thursday Sept 11 at the Anoka Stake Center 7:00.
Happy Easter.
