And then earlier this morning in the first class eight quarter final game, the Red Lake Boys basketball team began their fourth straight state tournament. The unceded Warriors took on top seeded Minneapolis North. The Polars defeated the Warriors by eight earlier this season and they came out on fire in this one. Taylor Johnson gets the steal, goes coast to coast for the two-handed jam. Polars take the early four-point lead and they were off getting out to a 25-3 run to open the game cat by the Nasir El Amin layup. The Warriors would finally get going. Rob McClane finds Anthony Bolio down low for the bucket. And then it's McClane delivers the floater for two of his team high 12 points. And then McClane producing again finds Jamie Cook. He delivers the three ball. He had nine points but the Warriors still trailed by 24 and they would never get any closer. Minneapolis North led by 33 at the half and they roll to the 47.3 93 to 46. Here's Red Lake after the game. It's a totally different ball game at the state level. You're not playing teams. You're not holding the ball you need to get up north. They're trying to get as many shots as they can. They're trying to get as many dunks. Fast break opportunities, defense stops as they can. So just slow down the opposing team to get them tired out. Just like how we play. Just today we just couldn't make the shot. The RB defense was lacking. We couldn't pick up after it. To make it to the state tournament, it's an honor because some players may never make it. We're very fortunate to come four times in a row. And a couple of these guys have two or three section A championships out of their belt. That's something they create memories for the future. And you can tell they're kids something that I play in the state tournament. So I'm very fortunate to be a coach for the team.
