Bigfork Takes Care of Cherry

Bigfork defeated Cherry tonight on their home court, 57-32. The score at the half was 37-20. I don't have all the points for the girls so I will wait for the box score from Mesabi Daily News and add it tomorrow sometime.

They are ranked 5th in Class A in the State of MN right now. They moved down a notch after their loss to Grand Rapids.

I'm sure the girls are looking forward to a small break before the Hibbing Christmas tournament begins on December 28th, 29th and 30th. I'm looking forward to attending all three days of the tournament as I have those days off. Yippee! Finally get to see lots of basketball..Shelby will be coming with me to some of them. It will be fun for her to see the girls again...

Bigfork Takes Down the Orr Braves

Via a "basketball mom" telephone call, the Lady Huskies defeated the Lady Braves tonight by a score of 65-36. Sounded like it was a very physical and not so nice game! Megan had 16 points, Andi 15, Danielle 10, Lise 8 and Theresa 7. Don't know the rest....

I plan on being at the game this Thursday at Cherry...really, I am going to try!

The girls are now 5-1, the only loss being to AAA Grand Rapids. They are ranked 5th in Class A in the State of MN.

Nice Comment from a Northland Remer Lady Eagle

Sometimes I forget to look and see if there are any comments and I happened to see one this morning. It was from Kayla Heisler who is a senior at Northland Remer! She started her own blog to follow her team this year! Sounds like she is doing it for an English class project....said that she liked what I had done with mine! I'm so honored Kayla! Good luck and email me as I have a few things to share with you....

Bigfork Routs Chisholm

Bigfork handily defeated the Chisholm Bluestreaks on their home court last night. They were up at the half by 19 points and the final score was 68-28! Sounds like Megan had a monster game with 27 points, many from the free throw line. Andi and Lise had 12 and 8 points, respectively, to whittle their remaining points down to hit their 1,000 marks. I couldn't see the whole article on the Hibbing Daily Tribune as you have to pay this year to view the online articles!

I subscribe to Mesabi Daily News online but not Hibbing...Mesabi usually has box scores but didn't last night because the Hibbing paper was there I guess...just can't win! Since the article was written by Ted Anderson it should be in the Herald Review this Sunday so look for it there if you want to read the full article...

The girls next game is at Orr on Monday, Dec. 14th. I have to work that day also so won't be able to attend but will be going to the game in Cherry on Dec. 17th. Maybe I can finally get a few pictures to put up!

Great game girls!

Work Instead of Play...Awww

I was planning on going to the game tonight in Chisholm to watch the girls BEAT Chisholm, but got a call yesterday from da boss. They needed someone to work so I dutifully said I would....I will get an update from a couple of moms and post what information they can give me.

I did see this morning that Remer beat Deer River last night in OT, 60-58. Bet THAT was a good game...haha. A little physical too maybe? The Northern Lakes Conference title just might be very interesting this year!

I bet the next time they play Deer River will won't let that happen again! Then they will be split...could get VERY interesting down the road a little ways. Can't wait for the games between Nashwauk, Remer and Deer River....

Bigfork Defeats Littlefork-Big Falls

Bigfork defeated the Littlefork Lady Vikings once again...the final score was 67-20 in a game that started out pretty sloppy. As the game went on it got better of course. The Lady Huskies took over from the get go and never let up.

Adrianna led all scorers again with 20 (four three's), Lise 14, Megan 8, Teresa 7, Paige 6 (two three's again), Britt Hoyt with 5 or 6 (I thought she had two threes also), Carolyn with 3 and Danielle with 2 or 4...can't remember them all and accidentally lost my paper!

Score clock is getting easier and was a little worried when the refs walked in as it was Pollard and Erzar, two of the top refs around. It was fun sitting with Heather and catching up a little bit in between. She does scorebook and has for a few years and we used to coach volleyball together. I miss visiting with her everyday.

The girls play at Chisholm on Thursday and I plan on attending unless something comes up. I will finally be able to take some pictures!

It is sure different not watching Shelby play with the girls...just doesn't seem right! It is still fun watching the girls though and the younger ones coming up.

Waiting to see who won between Nashwauk and Cook tonight as that might have been a close game. We'll see....

Posting Again....

I decided I will post information as I have time for this season's Lady Huskies. Instead of starting a new blog I will just continue to add to this one as it is being "googled" and searched and still has many hits per day/week.

Last year the team ended their season at the Minnesota State High School Basketball Tournament and ended up taking fourth place in the State! Not bad for a tiny little town with the high school attendance being approximately 70+. They ended their season 31-3.

Interestingly, this years team pre-season ranking in Class A is 4th.

This year's team has four returning starters in Megan Powell, Sr., Annalise Klamm, Sr., Adrianna Ivanovic', Sr. and Theresa Stewart, Sr. Carolyn Thurston, Jr. has been starting so far this year in the fifth spot. I need to find the official roster and I will add the entire roster with their appropriate grades.

The girls are 2-1 so far this year with the first two games being blowouts against Cotton and Tower-Soudan and losing this past Saturday to AAA Grand Rapids. 57-46. Grand Rapids is a good team that also made a State appearance the past two years. Grand Rapids started the game off shooting well and took the lead. Bigfork battled back to tie the game and take the lead for a while until Rapids took it back and didn't let go.

Adrianna had a hot night shooting and ended up with 27 of Bigforks' 46 points, including four three pointers. Theresa Stewart had a nice game with 9 points and unfortunately two of our main scorers in Megan and Lise, just couldn't get a break and ended up with only two points each on the night which rarely happens as these two girls averaged in double figures last year.

Bigfork gave Rapids a run for their money and if our girls would have shot at their normal averages, they certainly could have walked away with a win.

They play at home tonight against rival Littlefork-Big Falls. Unfortunately I am not able to take as many pictures as I will be running the score clock and cannot do both at the same time. I may have someone take a few with my camera each game so I can post a few pictures of each game. We will see how that works out...

Also interesting to note is the fact that Annalise Klamm AND Adrianna Ivanovic will hit their 1,000 points this season, and early in the season. I'm hoping it is at an away game so I can take pictures of both accomplishments! That will make six Lady Huskies that have joined the 1,000 point club within the past four years. Quite a statement with this group of girls. Nicolle Worcester (07'), Jenna Beckner (08'), Shelby Goble (09'), Megan Powell (10') who is currently playing and then the two upcoming in Annalise and Adrianna.

Good luck tonight Lady Huskies!!!
