Those two boys’ basketball teams both won tonight, so both will take undefeated records into Tuesday night’s game at Cooper.
I watched #1-4A Hopkins cruise past Cretin-Derham Hall 92-58 in St. Paul tonight. That put the Royals’ record at 15-0. Third-ranked Cooper beat visiting North Branch 87-58 and the Hawks are also 15-0.
Cooper has a very nice team and its star, Rodney Williams, is a tremendous talent. But I don’t see how an objective person can pick Hopkins to lose. All five starters scored between 10 and 17 points tonight, and the Hopkins bench is very strong. They just wear you down. If Cooper can get its running game cranked up and continually beat Hopkins downcourt, the Hawks might be able to pull this off. But if not, Hopkins’ defense is so strong that playing half-court game with the Royals is a tall order.
Have a good weekend, everybody.
