A game that started with rattled nerves, sweaty hands, and quick whistles, with a point for point score to match, eventually ending up being what it should have been in the first place. Under matched by age of experience and positional size, Hopkins #3 in 4A no slouch in their own right, came out fighting. However quick whistles by the officials held the game in”tug of war”, with lead changes nearly the whole half. Hopkins, able to go to their bench however, had to rely on it early, too early perhaps against an older seasoned opponent. Minnehaha came out, looking more comfortable without any nervousness and quickly built a ten point lead early in the second half, to roll out the carpet on a 78-59 loss.
