Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City's girls' basketball team was on an eight-game winning streak heading into their home game on Friday night against Sauk Centre. The Mainstreeters improved to 10-3 with a 59-47 win after leading 33-22 at the break; they shot just under a 50 percent clip from the floor (20-41) and were led by Jena Klaphake's 16 points, five assists and four three-pointers.
At New London-Spicer, the Mainstreeters boys' basketball team came home with a very satisfying 76-57 win over the Wildcats. Sauk Centre exploded for 39 first half points for a 39-25 margin at the break. Nick Adams scored 22 points, Terrence Ellis had 17, Patrick Knoblauch had 15 and Travis Rieland had 13. Great field goal shooting (53%, 26-49) and 21-of-22 shooting at the line were keys to the win.

More on the Fusion boys' swimming and diving team's three-meet win streak
The Sauk Centre-Melrose Fusion boys' swimming and diving team has a fair amount of momentum on their side as they prepare for the Section 3A True Team meet on Saturday. They've squared their dual meet record at 3-3 with wins over Litchfield/Dassel-Cokato, Park Rapids Area and Morris Area.
About the Fusion team's win over Park Rapids Area on Tuesday this week, co-head coach James Schreiner commented, "It was a meet for our depth to shine. The guys have come a long way since the beginning of the season. We worked hard the first month of the season and the guys are seeing it pay off. It's good to see kids rewarded for hard work."
The true team meet begins at 12 p.m. at Jefferson High School in Alexandria tomorrow. Check back at the Streeter Sports blog to see how they fared on Monday.

SC-M wrestlers lose in a heartbreaker; SC-M Fusion boys' swimming and diving and Prairie Centre Area hockey both win
The Sauk Centre-Melrose wrestlers lost by the 8th criteria to Minnewaska Area tonight on the Sauk Centre mats. The 8th criteria is the most 1st-period points composite by all the wrestlers. Minnewaska had 10 and SC-M had 6 points via that criteria.
Minnewaska Area gave up 3 forfeits; SC-M gave up none.
The Fusion boys' swimming and diving JV team beat Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta/Minnewaska Area 114-9! The Fusion varsity squad more than doubled up on the Gators and won 98-46. They travel to Alexandria for the Section 3A True Team meet this Saturday; it begins at 12 p.m. at Jefferson High School.
Actually, there is no boys' swimming team with MA/CA/MA...I just realized that it's simply "Morris Area" and that Minnewaska Area pulled out of that co-op team recently due to not having any kids involved in that winter sport. That does explain a little bit why there was no depth to the Fusion team's opponent tonight. It's a sad sight to see, having an area athletic program suffering to that extent.
A sign of the times, you could say.
At Morris, the Prairie Centre Area North Stars boys' hockey team defeated the Morris/Benson Area Storm 6-1 for a second win in a row; they are now 8-6 overall and host Redwood Valley/BOLD next Tuesday, Jan. 17, on the Sauk Centre ice.

Photos from action last night

| Robby Polipnick carries Addison Bick to the blue line before Tuesday's big win for the North Stars. The Mighty Mites were allowed on the ice to stand by the varsity players during the national anthem. Addison was a little shy, so Robby had to give her a hand. She must have been a good luck charm, too, because Robby ended up scoring the game-winning goal to improve the North Stars to 7-6 on the season. |

BOB FM has tonight's boys' basketball border battle on the air
Sauk Centre and Melrose Area are dueling in a West Central North Conference boys' basketball game tonight on the Mainstreeters' home court.
Updates: the girls' basketball team lost to Melrose 39 to 38. The Dutchmen trailed 38-33 with 2:33 on the clock, but they scored the final six points of the game in the final 40 seconds with two three-pointers to dash the hearts of every Sauk Centre player and fan in the gym.
The boys' basketball team is trailing 52-38 with 9 minutes left in the game. With 7 minutes left, the Dutchmen led 52-40. At halftime, Melrose led by 14 points.
A deficit of 39-31 was the closest Sauk Centre has been in the second half. Scottie Stone leads all scorers with 24 points at the 6:00 mark.
A three by Michael Knoblauch made it 54-45, but the Dutchmen responded right away with a fast break rebound shot by Elfering to go up 56-45.
With 2 minutes to go, it's 63-50 advantage Melrose Area.
At Minnewaska Area, Albany's boys' basketball team trails 56-51 with under 8 minutes to go in the second half. The Lakers, who have only two wins this season, led by 17 at the break 44-27. Scott Litchy's bucket made it 56-53 with 7:35 to go. The Huskies started the second half with a 6-0 run to help get back in the game.
Now it's 57-55 with the Lakers ahead. A bucket by Harlander made it 62-57 with just under 6 minutes left in the game. Under 4:00 left, it's 64-61 Minnewaska. Dylan Shay, who was scoreless in the first half, got to 6 points with a bucket to make it 64-63 with 3:30 left.
An Andrew Ostrander bucket then made it 66-63 with under 3:00 to go in the game. Blake Johnsrud's bucket with 2:35 left made it 68-63. The Lakers then hit another field goal with 2:09 left to make it 70-63.
Albany called a timeout at that point with the game slipping away. Down the stretch, the game did indeed slip away and Minnewaska Area won the West Central North Conference opener by 12 points. Final: Minnewaska Area 79, Albany 67.
