Boys Hoops: Champlin Park atop Northwest Suburban after 77-43 win over Anoka

Conference races across the state are heating up as we head into February, and one of the hottest races is taking place in the Northwest Suburban Conference. The top three teams in the conference- Osseo, Champlin Park, and Anoka- are all ranked in the top 10 in Class 4A. Two of those teams squared off on Wednesday night, and Champlin Park asserted themselves at home with a dominant 77-43 victory over Anoka.

Champlin Park, the winners of five straight coming into the game, started off the game by scoring the first six points. After Anoka's Lomumba Ismail got the Tornadoes on the board, the Rebels scored the next five points to take an 11-2 lead. After an Anoka time out to attempt to gain some momentum, the Rebels stayed hot and extended the lead to 16-2. Champlin's Brandon Davis then put an exclamation point on the run, following up a missed shot with a fierce one-handed dunk. One more Rebel basket made the score 20-2 before Anoka was finally able to get their second field goal.
