Terrific games today and tonight, with updates from the Wendy's Classic at Loras College.
Van Meter 55, Winterset 48 in battle of ranked teams
Black Hawk, WI 64, Gilbertville Don Bosco 57 at Dubuque Wendy's Classic at Loras College
Muscatine 76, Iowa City 57, as Joe Weiskamp gets healthy again
Buffalo Grove, IL 56, Dubuque Hempstead 52 in nail biter at Loras
Mt. Pleasant 65, Mount Vernon 48
North Linn 88, Maquoketa Valley 30
Cedar Rapids Prairie 79, Lane Tech of Chicago 65- impressive win over large school
Charles City 67, Osage 42
South O'Brien 70, Ipswich, SD 52
Wapello 82, West Burlington 56
Chicago Heights Marian Catholic 60, Dubuque Senior 53. #1-ranked Illinois 3A team with Ahron Ulis, brother of NBA and former Kentucky player Tyler Ulis, scoring 18. Good news is that injured leading scorer Noah Carter was walking normally on sidelines for Senior. I really think with Carter Senior could have won this game.
In OT, Dubuque Wahlert 74, 3A #1 Oskaloosa 70, for Wahlert's third win this week, as they are finally healthy. 6-4 center Matt Bandy outscores Xavier Foster with 19 points. I will say that I think Oskaloosa still should be #1 in Iowa as they are a complete team, with four talented players besides 6-10 Foster, who has many gifts. Osky Indians led by 6-9 Cole Henry and 6-5 Jared Kruse. Foster had two 3- pointers. Eagles' leading scorer 6-6 Peter Timmerman fouled out in the OT, as did Foster. Osky led 17-7 in the 1st quarter, before Wahlert fought back to take several skimpy leads late in the game. With wins this week over CR Kennedy and Waterloo West, Wahlert is righting their ship after having one to three rotation regulars unavailable for all but two games this year against 4A powers like IC West, Cedar Falls, Dub. Senior (with Carter), Dub. Hempstead and Linn-Mar, three on the road.. Wahlert reserve center, 6-9 Sam Gruel, the nephew of NBA Houston Rockets starter, Iowa All-American, and former Wahlert star Kevin Kunnert, saw extensive reserve action against Oskaloosa's formidable front line. Sorry for the long post but it was an incredibly exciting, well-played, tight game on a neutral court at Loras College. University of Iowa varsity assistants were watching the game.
Still awaiting scores from Harlan vs. Glenwood, Solon at Regina, Atlantic at Wahoo Neuman, NE, Pella Christian at Des Moines Christian, Bellevue West, NE at CBAL, and other games.
