SPORTS FEEVER – JUNE 13, 2019

Welcome to another Sports Feever Column.  Next weeks column will be the last of the Minnesota State High School League spring sports tournaments.  The state baseball championship will be played on Thursday, June 20 at Target Field.
After covering the state golf tournament in Jordan on Wednesday, I filed a report on the radio and updated the website with the story and pictures and cruised to Target Field to watch the Twins game.  I must be bad luck because the Twins had four errors and didn’t play well.  Berrios didn’t have his best stuff and the bats were silent until the last two innings when the game became pretty exciting.   Even if the game wasn’t the best of the year, it was still worth going to.  I went by myself and my wife said to me – “Your going by yourself?” I loved it.  I got to watch the game without being interrupted (anybody that has ever gone with four kids knows what I am talking about.  I had a hot dog and a beer and it was 70 degrees at game time.  It was perfect.   I ran into former Crookston School District Orchestra instructor Val Buchmeier and chatted for a few minutes.  It was great to catch up with Mr. Buchmeier and it keeps my streak of running into somebody I know well at Twins game going.

The game got me excited to broadcast the Sacred Heart Eagle baseball games at State on Thursday and Friday and hopefully next Thursday too!  I honestly think Sacred Heart has a great chance at playing in the championship game.  We will see.  You can hear the games on KROX.

Enjoy another column and the rest of the summer.

The Sacred Heart Eagle Baseball team is competing in the Minnesota State High School League Class A Baseball tournament Thursday and Friday.

TEAMS IN STATE TOURNEY-  All teams were #1 seeds in their section tournament except Sacred Heart (even though they were the favorites according to most)
Section 1 – Hayfield  (Beat out Spring Grove and Southland)
Section 2 – BOLD (Beat out Springfield, Mankato Loyola)
Section 3 – Kerkoven-Murdock-Sundberg (Beat out Minneota, Lac qui Parle Valley)
Section 4 – Randolph (Beat out Liberty Classical Academy, Goodhue)
Section 5 – Sebeka (Beat out Hinkley-Finlayson, Menahga, Braham, and Nevis)
Section 6 – New York Mills (Beat out Border West, Belgrade Brooten Elrosa)
Section 7 – Southridge (Beat out Ely and Carlton)
Section 8 – Sacred Heart

The two-time Section 8A champion Sacred Heart Eagles Baseball team will play the #3 seed Hayfield (who is making their first state baseball tournament) in the first round of the Minnesota State High School League State Baseball tournament.  Hayfield will likely throw Easton Fritcher in the game.  He is 9-0 and has pitched 51 innings, with 69 strikeouts, and an ERA of 1.10.  Pitching seems to be the strength of Hayfield with three solid pitchers.  Offensively, Fritcher leads the way with a .382 batting average and 29 hits.
Sacred Heart will likely go with Brenden Bethke who is 6-1 on the year and has pitched 41.33 innings and has 66 strikeouts and an ERA of 0.68!!  We are thinking we will see an old fashioned pitchers duel in game one!

The Eagles first round game is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 13 in Jordan.
KROX Radio will have all the Sacred Heart games from the state tournament on KROX Radio (1260 AM/105.7FM), online by clicking on the Listen Live in the top right of the website – you can also use the same link for your phone, on the free KROX app (download the free app in the Google Play or Apple App stores), or listen on Alexa (Listen to K-R-O-X in Crookston).

The Class AA Boys and Girls Golf tournament was held at the Ridges at Sand Creek Golf Course in Jordan on Tuesday and Wednesday.  The Detroit Lakes Boys finished second place and the Detroit Lakes Girls team finished third place.
It was pretty cool to see Crookston High School’s Dani Boyle golf at state this year.  Dani, like most golfers, ran out of gas physically and mentally by the end of the second round.  It is about 6,500 yards for the boys and over 5,100 for the girls.  It is a tough course with varying terrain and it takes a toll on the golfers after three straight days on the course.  Walking the course is about 8 miles each day.
Dani finished in a tie for 52nd place and will look to make a return trip next year.

The University of Minnesota Crookston men’s basketball program announced the addition of Aidan Evans (F/C, 6-8 205, Sioux Falls, S.D./Roosevelt H.S.) to a National Letter of Intent. Evans is the seventh signee for the Golden Eagles during the current recruiting cycle.

Aidan Evans (F/C, 6-8 205, Sioux Falls, S.D./Roosevelt H.S.)
Evans helped Sioux Falls Roosevelt H.S. to the State Tournament Consolation Championship during the 2018-19 season. He played his senior year for Sioux Falls Roosevelt H.S., after moving to Sioux Falls, S.D., from Austin, Texas. Prior to moving, Evans competed for James Bowie H.S., in Austin, Texas. Sioux Falls, S.D., is the hometown of his father Jeff Evans. Evans played AAU basketball for Urban ASAK Elite in the summer of 2018. He helped his AAU team to the George McClellan Invitational title in 2018. Evans helped Sioux Falls Roosevelt H.S., to a No. 5 ranking in the state. Evans had 17 points in a win over Mitchell H.S. He had 11 points in a State Tournament game against Sioux Falls O’Gorman H.S. Evans is ranked 16th in the Prep Hoops Dakotas Top 150. He is the second-ranked player over 6-5. He was selected for a post-season all-star game.  “I’m pleased to welcome Aidan to the Golden Eagle basketball family,” said Head Coach Dan Weisse. “I was really impressed with Aidan and his family on his visit. Aidan will provide our team some depth in the post. I feel like he will continue to keep getting better year in and year out. Aidan’s size, matched with his shooting ability will be a great fit for what we are looking for. Aidan will have to put on some weight and hit the weight room, but his commitment to be the best player he can be, his commitment to his teammates, and his mindset will serve him well. I am looking forward to watching him grow as a person and a player.”
He is the son of Jeff and Yasmin Evans. Evans was born Feb. 10, 2001. He is undecided on his major. His grandparents Doug and Gloria Evans created a pioneering family exercise program called “Fun & Fitness” that aired on KELO-TV in Sioux Falls from 1961-71. It was seen all over South Dakota and large parts of North Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa. Doug Evans is a member of the South Dakota Sports Hall of Fame. His mother Yasmin is originally from Guyana. He has two brothers and one sister. His sister is originally from China, and his younger brother is originally from Ethiopia.

The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved moving the 3-point line to the international basketball distance of 22 feet, 1¾ inches in men’s basketball. The rule will be effective for the 2019-20 season in Division I. Due to the potential financial impact of placing a new line on courts, the new 3-point line will go into effect for the 2020-21 season in Divisions II and III.
Men’s Basketball Rules Committee members recommended the change after receiving positive feedback from the annual rules survey from coaches whose teams competed in the 2018 and 2019 National Invitation Tournament, where the international 3-point distance was used on an experimental basis.

The committee cited the following rationale for extending the line:
-Making the lane more available for dribble/drive plays from the perimeter.
-Slowing the trend of the 3-point shot becoming too prevalent in men’s college basketball by making the shot a bit more challenging, while at the same time keeping the shot an integral part of the game.
-Assisting in offensive spacing by requiring the defense to cover more of the court.

Teams in the 2019 NIT averaged 23.1 field goal attempts in the tournament from behind the arc, compared with 22.8 3-point attempts in the 2018-19 regular season. The 3-point shooting percentage of teams in the 2019 NIT was 33%, compared with their regular season average of 35.2%.
When the line was moved before the 2008-09 season, the distance went from 19 feet, 9 inches to 20 feet, 9 inches. The percentage of 3-point shots made during that season compared with the previous season declined from 35.2% to 34.4%. The percentage of made 3-point field goals steadily increased back to 35.2% in Division I by the 2017-18 season.

Shot clock reset
The panel also approved resetting the shot clock at 20 seconds after a field goal attempt hits the rim and the offensive team rebounds the ball in the frontcourt. The change is being made to enhance the pace of the game. The committee decided a full 30-second shot clock is not needed because the offensive team is already in the frontcourt after securing the rebound. This was an experimental rule in the 2019 NIT, as well.

Other proposals
The panel approved a proposal where players will be assessed a technical foul should they use derogatory language about an opponent’s race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender expression, gender identify, sexual orientation or disability.

Coaches will be allowed to call live-ball timeouts in the last two minutes of the second half and the last two minutes of any overtime periods. Previously, coaches weren’t allowed to call any live-ball timeouts during the game.

In the last two minutes of the second half or the last two minutes of any overtime, instant replay review can be conducted if a basket interference or goaltending call has been made.

The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved resetting the shot clock in women’s basketball to 20 seconds after an attempted field goal hits the rim and the offensive team rebounds the ball in the frontcourt. The rule is effective for the 2019-20 season in all three divisions.
NCAA Women’s Basketball Rules Committee members made the proposal in an effort to continue to enhance the pace of the game. It reasoned that a full 30-second shot clock is not needed since the offensive team is already in the frontcourt after securing the rebound.
Also, when the shot clock is below 20 seconds, it will reset to 20 seconds when the defensive team commits a single personal foul or when the ball is intentionally kicked or hit with a fist in the offensive team’s frontcourt. When the shot clock is at 20 seconds or above, it will not be reset in these situations.

Conduct
The panel approved a rule that if a player receives one technical foul and one unsportsmanlike foul in the same game, the player would be ejected. This rule is effective for the 2019-20 season.
Also, the offended team will be awarded the ball for a throw-in at the division line when the opponents have been assessed a player/substitute or bench technical foul when play resumes.
Another change allows referees to address any acts of misconduct, provided the official is already at the monitor to review for an unsportsmanlike or contact disqualifying foul.

Experimental rule
NCAA Women’s Basketball Rules Committee members previously approved an experimental rule to use the international 3-point line for postseason events, excluding the NCAA championships in each division.
Committee members, who met last month in Indianapolis, want to examine whether moving the line back to the distance of 22 feet, 1¾ inches will enhance the game. The current women’s 3-point line sits at 20 feet, 9 inches.
Last season in Division I, teams made an average of 6.05 3-point field goals and attempted 19.13 shots from beyond the line per game. Both are all-time highs in Division I. Teams made 31.6% of their shots from 3-point range, which was a slight dip from the 31.9% in the 2017-18 season.
Division II and Division III teams also had all-time highs in 3-point field goals attempted and made last season. In Division II, teams made 6.14 3-point shots per game on 19.44 attempts. In Division III, the averages were 5.53 and 18.7, respectively. Division II players shot 31.6% from 3-point range, while those in Division III made 29.5% of their attempts.

Minnesota State earned the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) All-Sports Award for the sixth time since joining the league in 2008 and for the second year in a row.  The Mavericks amassed 198 points to finish 11.5 points ahead of second place Augustana University.  MSU has now earned the all-sports award in 2008-09, 2009-10, 2012-13, 2013-14, 2017-18 and 2018-19. Augustana, Minnesota Duluth, Minnesota State and Winona State remain the only institutions to earn the award in its 20-year history.

Since 2017-18, the NSIC recognizes an overall champion along with a men’s and a women’s champion. Minnesota State also earned the men’s award as it scored 90.5 points while Augustana earned the women’s award by scoring 112 points.  The Mavericks and Vikings will be presented their awards on Tuesday, July 9 at the NSIC Hall of Fame Banquet in Lakeville, Minnesota.

Minnesota State won four regular-season titles during the 2018-19 academic year, including co-football,  men’s indoor track & field, women’s golf, and men’s outdoor track & field.

The NSIC All Sports Award is calculated by awarding the winner of each conference-sponsored championship points totaling the number of teams in that sport plus one. The next place finisher receives points totaling the number of teams less the number of places from first place. Ties in the standings at any level result in the totaling of points and equal distribution.

The Christian Laettner Basketball Academy will be conducting a youth basketball clinic in Pillager June 24-26 at Pillager High School.
4th-8th grade 9 am – noon (co-ed)
9th-12th grade 1 pm – 4 pm (co-ed)
Cost is $125, including a water bottle
Register Online at www.theclba.com

Christian Laettner is a retired NBA 13-year veteran whose hall-of-fame career for the Duke Blue Devils is widely regarded as one of the greatest in National Collegiate Athletic Association history. Coach Laettner will provide a fun, learning environment for the committed basketball player looking to improve their game, with a focus on skill development, striving to help players improve their ball handling, and passing, while increasing their understanding of offensive and defensive concepts. There will be great attention to detail on the core fundamentals of the game. Players, nowadays, love to dribble, dribble, dribble the ball. With that in mind, the teaching point this academy will stress the most is “catch the ball, save your dribble-and look to pass first!”. This concept is often overlooked in today’s game with the younger players – so the coaches will stress how ball movement is a key ingredient to a players game and offensive efficiency!

JOKES

A cabbie picks up a Nun.

She gets into the cab, and notices that the driver is VERY handsome.

The cab driver also won’t stop staring at her.

She asks him why he is staring.

He replies: “I have a question to ask you but I don’t want to offend you.”

She answers: “My son, you cannot offend me. When you’re as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I’m sure that there’s nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.”

“Well, I’ve always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.”

She responds: “Well, let’s see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.”

The cab driver is very excited and says: “Yes, I’m single and Catholic!”

“OK” the nun says. “Pull into the next alley.”

The nun fulfills his fantasy, with a kiss that would make a hooker blush.

But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

“My dear child,” says the nun, “why are you crying?”

“Forgive me but I’ve sinned. I lied and I must confess, I’m married and I’m Jewish.”

The nun says, “That’s OK. My name is Kevin and I’m going to a Halloween party.”
