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:
