Girls side...The game looked like a ping pong game. Mandan did surprise me. They were not afraid to drive into the middle against a bigger Century team. Their ball movement was good and they created alot of havic on the press. Mic Longtin and Bea Meyer played well for Mandan. Petersen and VanderWal were in foul trouble but Longtin kept them in it. Longtin was fun to watch. I think Mandan ran out of steam. They were up by 8-9 with about 6 minutes left and didn't have the same pressure at the end to finish it.
Century got caught up in running with Mandan. They finally got their composure the last 6 minutes and played a slower half court game. I thought AJ and Govig played really well. Carly Petersen look frustrated at times but stepped up at the end.
Boys side.... Govig who? didnt really do anything. Mandan was lucky, Kelpenski needs to step up and dominate. He looked like he took a back seat. Flaa stepped up big for Mandan. Both sides the first half couldn't hit the broad side of a barn... Really poor shooting and really hard to watch. Reason Century was even close was due to Mattern's coaching. Flaa was the highlight of the boys game!
You miss 100% of all shots you don't take!
