Game Review
De La Salle De La Salle played a complete and balanced game, playing on both sides of the ball. De La Salle had good ball movement, scoring inside in the post and making shots from behind the ark. The execution in the half court won the game. Very few teams have the talent to compete with Park Center, Reid Travis's 36pts and Luke Scott 19pts led one of the Mid-West regions most talented teams to a big out of conference win. James Lawson 6pts 8reb had and impact that wont show on the score sheet. The young studs Jarvis Johnson and Sacar Amin combined for 2 points. This game was really a statement game by De La Salle and Reid Travis, this win should carry major wight when section seeding comes out.
Park Center Park Center played a good game but not a complete game. Park Center is a great perimeter team defensively and offensively. De La Salle's post play was not something that Park Center seem to have game planed for and they paid for it. Quinton Hooker 24 was solid as normal, Treyton Daniels with 11pts Devin Buckley and Isaiah McKay with 8pts each. Park Center should have played Issac Mathews from the tip in this game a change in their line-up they made.in their line-up with the addition of Buckley.If Park Center had home court they my have won this one, but very few teams in Minnesota are a talented as De La Salle and they did not have their A game.
