Game Review This game was a example of the deference between 1A and 4A basketball teams as Minnetonka give Metro Tech that Lake conference business. Minnetonka smelled blood and went all the way in on defense giving nothing easy out playing physical. Metro Tech starting 5 could play with Minnetonka witch said alot being they started 3 freshman. Amar Miller was not backing down as Minnetonka did their best to bully him. The outcome of this game would be the same 90 out of 100 games this year. Minnetonka is much to physical and Metro Tech to young.
Minnetonka Minnetonka depth and defense really took this game over as they out-match the young Metro Tech. Riley Dearring really was having no part in a battle as he took Metro Tech out fast 25 points in the first half not playing in the second. Malcolm Moore 20pts had impact on both sides of the ball guarding Michael Miller his cousin and childhood teammate. Minnetonka got contributions from their key role players as two starters sat out this game.
Metro Tech This was not a bad game for Metro Tech as they proved to have talent to compete with a major 4A Lake conference team. Michael Miller 20pts 10reb would receive no love from his former teammates as they clearly were focus on keeping him from getting off on both sides of the ball he might had scored 40 without the foul trouble in this game. Dominick Jackson 16pts solid game. Jamil Jackson 14pts blocked Riley Dearring on the first possession game,twice in the game. Amar Miller 3pts 4ast gets his first varsity start and was competitive against very physical defense.
