THE CLASS A BOYS STATE HOCKEY TOURNAMENT WILL START TODAY. SECTION 8 CHAMP EAST GRAND FORKS WILL PLAY LITCHFIELD/DASSAEL-COKATO.
THE OTHER HEADLINE IS TOP SEED HERMANTOWN’S VARSITY ROSTER IS DEALING WITH COVID COMPLICATIONS AND WILL PLAY MOSTLY THEIR JV ROSTER AND POSSIBLY HAVE ONLY ROUGHLY 11 PLAYERS AVAILABLE.
IN THE DOUBLE A TOURNAMENT, HILL-MURRAY ANNOUNCED VIA TWITTER THAT THEY ARE ALSO DEALING WITH COVID COMPLICATIONS BUT THEIR STATUS WAS STILL UP IN THE AIR.
THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS HAVE ADDED MORE SEASONING TO THEIR SECONDARY BY AGREEING TO CONTRACT TERMS WITH CORNERBACK MACKENSIE ALEXANDER. HE WAS DRAFTED BY THE VIKINGS AND PLAYED MULTIPLE SEASONS IN MINNESOTA BEFORE LEAVING ON A ONE YEAR DEAL TO PLAY IN CINCINNATI. THAT SEASON WAS DISRUPTED MOSTLY BY INJURY.
ERIK KARLSSON SCORED TWICE IN REGULATION AND THEN ADDED THE DECIDING GOAL IN THE EIGHTH ROUND OF THE SHOOTOUT TO LEAD THE SAN JOSE SHARKS PAST THE MINNESOTA WILD 4-3. KARLSSON CAPPED A STELLAR NIGHT BY ENDING A STREAK OF NINE COMBINED MISSES BY BOTH TEAMS WHEN HE BEAT CAM TALBOT WITH A SLAP SHOT. MARCUS JOHANSEN, NICK BONINO AND KEVIN FIALA SCORED FOR THE WILD.
JAMES HARDEN HAD 38 POINTS, 13 ASSISTS AND 11 REBOUNDS, ALREADY TYING THE NETS’ SINGLE-SEASON RECORD WITH HIS 12TH TRIPLE-DOUBLE IN JUST 32 GAMES, AND BROOKLYN HELD OFF THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES 112-107. KARL-ANTHONY TOWNS HAD 31 POINTS AND 12 REBOUNDS FOR THE TIMBERWOLVES.
