St. Cloud Tech gets a team that plays like itself and it can match up with in Champlin Park.
Little Falls faces a team quite unlike itself in Minneapolis DeLaSalle.
Tech and Little Falls learned their opponents for the state boys basketball tournament Saturday morning in a seeding meeting.
Unseeded Tech (25-4) plays third-seeded Champlin Park (24-5) at 4 p.m. Wednesday at the TargetCenter in Minneapolis in the state Class 4A quarterfinals.
Unseeded Little Falls (20-9) plays second-seeded Minneapolis DeLaSalle (24-4) at 2 p.m. Wednesday at Williams Arena.
“It’s not a shock,” Tech head coach Mike Trewick said of being unseeded. “(Tech) couldn’t get higher than fourth last year and was 31-1. So, we’ll take it.”
Tech, like Little Falls, avoids having to see the top seed until the final. Champlin Park is a smaller, quicker team like Tech, with no starter over 6-foot-4, though the Tigers do start 6-foot-6 sophomore Kevin Heysse.
Hopkins got the top seed and faces Forest Lake. No. 2 Eden Prairie plays Owatonna and No. 4 Henry Sibley faces Eastview of Apple Valley.
Little Falls, led by 6-8 Dan Kornbaum, faces DeLaSalle, which is led by Jonah Travis, a 6-6 junior, Jalen Jaspers, a 6-3 senior guard, and Bretson McNeal, a 6-0 junior guard.
