  As the 2011-2012 regular season starts to wind down, several local high school girls basketball teams find themselves jockeying for position as the section seedings will be determined this week. The sections no longer go by a point system but by a QRF rating system, which is based upon strength of schedule similar to how College Football teams are ranked.

  A lot if written about Anders Broman of Lakeview Christian Academy and that is rightfully so as the junior scoring machine is about to obliterate scoring records in the state. After Broman scored 40 points, and his Lions beat South Ridge 96-56 on Tuesday night, the Panthers got a firsthand look at the entire LCA team which is a very solid unit.

  It is said there is nothing so meaningless than the first quarter score in an NBA game; because finding a winner always comes down to the end of the game. When South Ridge traveled to Hill City on Friday night, the effort and the individual stanzas weren’t meaningless by any stretch; but the first half, second half, and first overtime period scores were exactly the same and did not determine a winner. A never say die South Ridge team managed to outscore Hill City 6-3 in the second overtime to pick up the huge 61-58 road in on Friday night.

AlBrook Head Volleyball coach Brad Olesiak did know what to expect out of his team coming into the 2010 season. With only two seniors and five brand new starters that include a couple of eight graders, the last thing Olesiak thought of was his team reeling off seven wins in their first eight games that included the first win over Cook High School in over twenty years.
