An eye-opening final score from the Sauk Centre vs. Albany girls basketball game tonight: Streeters 89, Huskies 65. Albany's girls basketball team falls to 10-6 overall and 6-3 in the West Central North Conference.
The Streeters' girls basketball team's next action is tomorrow night (Jan. 28) at home against Paynesville Area.
In a very hostile environment at Albany, the Streeters boys basketball team defeated the Huskies 66-49. It's a huge conference win for Coach Ellens' squad, and it also gives Sauk Centre (11-5, 5-3 WCCN) a little momentum in terms of the sub-section seeding rankings. Of course, there's lots of season left and Sub-Section 6AA-East is certainly up for grabs. It's a little crazy considering they only won four games last year, but the Streeters boys basketball team is flirting with a #2 playoff seed.
Albany's boys basketball team is in a mini tailspin, as they have lost four of their last five games. The Huskies are 9-6 overall and 4-4 in the WCCN.
The Streeters' boys basketball team's next action is next week Tuesday, when they travel to Cathedral High School in St.Cloud. A very good Crusaders squad will take aim at the Streeters in a West Central North Conference game. The Crusaders are in Section 5AA, so it won't count much towards sub-section rankings, but it's still a very big game nonetheless.

This has a nice ring to it...both Mainstreeters' basketball teams win big tonight on the hardcourt
The Sauk Centre Mainsteeters girls basketball team picked up a big win over neighboring rival Holdingford 64-30 tonight on their home court. They are now 12-1 overall.
The Huskers (5-7) and Streeters are both in Sub-Section 6AA-East.
Up next for the Streeters girls basketball team: the short trip to crosstown rival Melrose Area on Friday night for a conference game against the Dutchmen.
The Sauk Centre Mainstreeters boys basketball team scorched the nets while getting quite offensive with the ball, lighting up Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City in an 84-68 non-conference win at Grove City tonight.
The Streeters boys basketball team is now 9-4 overall. They are in action this week Thursday when crosstown rival Melrose Area comes to town for a big conference and sub-section show down.
The Dutchmen are 6-7 overall, having just beaten Paynesville 77-55 in a non-conference border battle tonight.
Fun fact: On the minnesota-scores.net QRF rankings for Class AA, the Dutchmen and Mainstreeters boys basketball teams are right next to one another, with the Dutchmen at #62 and the Streeters at #63 out of 127 teams.
While it's way to early to be talking about playoffs and it's only the first meeting this season between the two teams, one cannot overlook the fact that whoever wins Thursday night's game will have the inside track on a top four seed in Sub-Section 6AA-East. The game is huge!
