Prairie Centre Area drills Detroit Lakes
 |
| Action from the North Stars' season opener in Sauk Centre on Nov. 29... |
On Friday night at Detroit Lakes, the North Stars erupted with five goals and drilled the section rival Lakers 5-1. It's DL's seventh straight loss and avenges a 3-1 win by the Lakers on Dec. 8 earlier this season. Detroit Lakes is a former rival of Prairie Centre in Section 6A; they were moved out this year with a shift taking place in the boys' hockey sections and now reside in Section 8A. It's a much better fit, as they will compete against northwest Minnesota teams for playoffs.
The North Stars led 1-0 after one period and 3-1 after two were in the book. Read more on the big win in the Feb. 2 issue of the Sauk Centre Herald.
Prairie Centre Area takes an 11-7-1 record into Willmar tonight; the puck drops at 7 p.m. against the Cardinals (7-12 overall, 3-7 Central Lakes Conference). It's a huge match up, as the winner will likely have the upper hand over the other at Section 6A seeding time in February. The North Stars have won 11 of their last 16 hockey games.
A win over Willmar gives Prairie Centre a shot at the #5 seed in the 10-team section; a loss could push them down as low as #7. Wins in rematches with Morris/Benson Area on Feb. 9 on Wadena-Deer Creek on Feb. 10 will solidify their spot in the middle of the pack for playoffs. They are on track to break their 13-11-2 record of the 2007-08 season.
Top four seeds in Section 6A will most likely be held by Little Falls (14-6), Alexandria (10-8), Fergus Falls (9-7-1) and St. Cloud Apollo (8-10-1). A wildcard in the mix is Breckenridge/Wahpeton, who could end up anywhere from #5 to #7.

North Stars' cooled off by Sauk Rapids-Rice
In the final game of the Granite City Classic, the Prairie Centre Area North Stars boys' hockey team was cooled off in a 4-2 loss to Sauk Rapids-Rice after winning their previous six outings.
After both teams battled to a 1-1 tie through two periods, the Storm erupted for three goals in the final period to pick up the win. Prairie Centre's six-game winning streak is the longest the program has enjoyed since the merging of the Long Prairie and Sauk Centre/Melrose programs earlier in the 2000s.
Now 6-4, the North Stars next take on Section 6A rival Little Falls (7-6) on Tuesday, Jan. 3 in Little Falls. The Flyers have won four games in a row, including two over Top 20 Class 1A schools.
An update on Fusion boys' swimming and diving, the Sauk Centre/Melrose team placed third at the five-team Brainerd Invitational on Thursday. Team scores were: Brainerd 663, Monticello 558, Sauk Centre/Melrose 382, Perham 314, Bemidji 203.

Hockey game ends after two periods
The North Stars loss last night was after two periods of play due to the blackout that stretched throughout Sauk Centre, and apparently Melrose and Osakis as well. Word is that a transformer blew and NSP had to come fix it, leaving those attending the hockey game and boys basketball game in the dark.
It also washed out the hockey team's chances of coming back in their game. Shots on goal were 26-21 in favor of Hinckley-Mora to that point.
Because the game was two periods in it does count as a loss for the Stars. Still haven't heard about boys basketball. If anyone knows, throw a comment onto this thread to explain the results......more later.

Making Strides: Future looks bright for hockey squad
The Prairie Centre North Stars lost 3-1 last night to Mora-Hinckley to fall to 4-13-1 on the season.
Call it another episode of the young guns going through some growing pains. But despite their lopsided record this season, you can expect them to win more than they lose next year. They will return just about every player, most who are playing their first full season of varsity hockey.
Of their top four scorers, three are only sophomores and are averaging a point a game. Cody Bartkowicz has 14 goals in his first 17 games this year, and Nate Mettenburg and Tyler Schultz each have 19 points. Jason Christianson, a junior, is probably the most talented of the four, and still has a year of varsity hockey left.
