Game Review
Edina:
This was a team win, even that only 2 players got into double digits for Edina. The defensive pressure Edina used in the half court really shut St. Louis Park down challenging on all shot attempts. Reggie Lynch 8 pts was in foul trouble early in the game but had a solid second half. Been Boone was the only other player to get into double digits for Edina with 11. Graham Wooward with an epic scoring performance 46 in the game and 29 in the first half. Some of the shots the Graham Wooward took where well defended and some where just pull-ups from long rage. This was a great senior season underway look for Graham Wooward to be a player of the year finalist this year.
St. Louis Park: St. Louis Park did not have a bad of a game as Edina had a great game.St.Louis Park would have to play a great game to beat Edina and had a bad game, Kashif 6pts did not meet the challenge as was not a factor. Makhi Moore solid game with 1, Jeffrey Bonds had a good game of the bench with 10. DJ Pollard had a good game with 21 and 17 in the second half trying to carry his team back. St. Louis Park is a solid team, but had a rough game look forward to them bouncing back.
