Warriors top Braham 75-54 in state quarterfinals
|
|
The Caledonia girls battled a rough and tumble Braham team to a 75-54 win Wednesday night in the opening round of the Minnesota State Class AA Basketball Tournament. Caledonia went on a 10-0 run midway through the first half to open up a double-digit lead, and led 41-28 at the half. The young Braham Bombers (24-7) kept the game interesting with their full-court press. But the state tournament-seasoned Warriors were able to control the tempo of the game in the
second half, pushing their lead to 20 points midway through the second
verse. The 29-0 Warriors, ranked #3 in the final state rankings, will now face #1 ranked Jordan (27-2) Friday evening at 6 p.m. at the Target Center. Win or lose Friday night, the girls will be playing again Saturday. A welcome home celebration has been scheduled for Sunday at 2 p.m. at the high school commons.
