CARDINAL CONNECTION Monday, January 12, 2015 EVENTS TODAY January 12th Orchestra Time 7:30pm Versus Winter Concert Location AAHS PAC RESULTS FROM THE WEEKEND KNOWLEDGE BOWL Last Friday the Cardinal Knowledge Bowl squad participated in their second meet of the season. In total, there were 18 teams participating from West Fargo, Osakis, Detroit Lakes, Park Christian and Alex. Both park Christian and Osakis fielded state tournament qualifying teams last year so we anticipated a competitive day. Coming out of the written round we were in 1st, 8th, 9th and 12th place. The team of Carl Branch, Eric Branch, Lydia Gusaas, Dalton Struck and Matt Bittmann scored 51/60, but had two teams close behind. In the first oral round they scored a remarkable 26 points and began the process of separating themselves from the rest of the field. They ended up scoring 141 points which was 50 points ahead of the next group. Finishing second with 91 points was Gregor Peterson, Katie Gripne, Chad Blank and Sam Ealy. They put together four solid oral rounds to move up from 8th to finish in a tie with Osakis' number one team. Question from the match...On which continent would you find the mountains of the moon? WRESTLING Monti Duals The Cardinal wrestling team lost three matches over the weekend at Monticello. 52-9 to highly ranked Shakopee, 42-25 to Coon Rapids and 37-35 to New London Spicer. The Cardinal team continues to wrestle shorthanded and several wrestlers are not in the lineup. Our team will continue to struggle with wins until the team can get over sickness and injury and consistently put a solid line up together. Those that are in the lineup are wrestling well but we simply don’t have the man power to overcome forfeits at this time. DANCE TEAM This past weekend the Nordic ski team participated in the largest high school Nordic ski meet in North America, held at Giants' Ridge near Biwabik, MN, which is also the state course. We also found actual real snow! Temperatures were a balmy -2F to start the event and the mercury did make it up to 5F eventually. On the boys side in the classical race, Eric Branch landed an 88th place finish with a time of 19:15. Carl Branch placed 95th with a time of 19:33, and Casey Call finished 111th with a time of 20:02. In the JV Boys classical race, Jackson WIchtendahl placed 51st with a time of 22:46. In the varsity skate race, Dalton Struck raced well placing 76th, with a time of 18:56, Grant Rudolph placed 133rd with a time of 21:40. On the girls side, all of them participated in the varsity classic competition. Leading the way for the team was Becca Mateer, finishing at 88th place with a time of 24:02, Ellie Hurlen was just a few seconds behind at 92nd place with a time of 24:07, Camille Johnson placed 110th with a time of 24:55, JeAnna Miller was 114th with a time of 25:18, Britt Hurlen was 117th with a time of 25:31, and Raessa Winkels was 157th with a time of 31:18. A few of the skiers had their first experience racing at this meet, which may have created a little shock for them due to the difficult courses, however, the benefits in my opinion outweigh the disadvantages. At a large meet like this, Coach Ellison and myself feel that placing in the top 100 or in the upper 50% of the race is a worthy accomplishment. Also, this was our first classic race of the year for most of the skiers, so it was nice to get that under our belt. We are looking forward to our next race at Maplelag, near Detroit Lakes on Thursday. GIRLS BASKETBALL – VARSITY Alexandria 46 Sauk Rapids 28 The Cardinal defense got off the bus RED HOT on Saturday afternoon as we limited the Storms scoring opportunities as the Cardinal DEFENSE was aggressive, active and intense thru out the game. The Storm are much improved and battled the Cards closely for the first half, but a determined, energized Cardinal attack, pounded the glass and triggered the transition game immediately after the half and we didn’t look back. The Lady Cards executed crisp passing, teamwork, defensive stops and cruised to another CLC and Section victory on the road. Scoring for the Lady Cards were 3 in double figures with Macy Hatlestad and Kendall Kohler with 13 each, and Brooke Heggie with 10. Cheyenne Hendrickson had 3, and 2 each for Gretchen Revering, Kiyana Miller and Kayla Feldhake, Emma Zeigler 1. Brooke Heggie, Macy Hatlestad and Kiyana miller each tore down 3 rebounds. Steals were jumped on by Chi Hendrickson, Emma Zeigler and Kiyana Miller each with 3. Macy H dished out 4 assists while Kendall K shoveled off 3. The win ups the Cards to 7-2 overall and 4-0 in CLC play. Great job Ladies, as we continue our philosophy of “One game at a time… and improving every day as a team!” We look forward to hosting the Tech Tigers on Tuesday and hope to see you all there cheering on the Cardinals! Top 20 Thinkers and Teams understand that our success and quality of experience can only happen when we put our relationships with each other at the center of what we are striving for… Bottom 80 Thinkers and Teams are all about me and “Star Syndrome” drowns out success… and the quality of the experience making achieving team goals extremely difficult. GIRLS BASKETBALL – JV Alexandria 54 Sauk Rapids-Rice 23 The Alexandria Girls JV Basketball team traveled to Sauk Rapids Saturday afternoon to take on the Storm. Despite not having played a game in over a week the Cardinals started out the game hot and jumped to a 16-0 lead before the Storm got in the scoring column. The Cardinals shared the ball well and did an excellent job changing up their defensive pressure in the full court and the half court. At the half Alexandria would hold a 33-8 lead. The 2nd half was much of the same as the Cardinals did a great job on the defensive end working as a team to keep the Storm out of the paint and off of the glass. The Cardinals continued to share the ball on the offensive end and play unselfish basketball. Ellie Ronning, Maggie Slagle, Lauren Stockmoe, and Kara Thomson notched several assists for the Cardinals. Alexandria did such a great job sharing the ball that they were able to get 10 different players in the scoring column. In the end, Alexandria beat Sauk Rapids-Rice with a final score of 54-23. The Cardinal JV Girls Basketball team improved to 9-0 on the season with the win. GIRLS BASKETBALL – 9TH GRADE Alexandria 64 Sauk Rapids Rice 31 The Alexandria freshman girls played a very well rounded game Saturday afternoon by beating the Sauk Rapids Storm 64-31.
