Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

2019 Augie commit Jaeden King puts up 26 to lead all scorers in the big-time Minnesota high school basketball match-up between Cretin-Derham Hall and Apple Valley. That's a game that includes high-major D1-signed Tre Jones for Apple Valley (going to Duke), high-major D1-signed Daniel Oturu for Cretin-Derham Hall (going to Minnesota) and likely mid-major D1 talent Sy Chatman.

#1AAAA Cretin-Derham Hall def #6AAAA Apple Valley 80-69. Daniel Oturu 15 pts, 11 Rbs, 6 blocks. Jaeden King 6 3s 26 pts (all but 5 in 2nd half). Tre Jones 20 pts, Zach Korba 14 with 4 3s

Hoping the Vikes can hang on to him. Long time to wait before King is actually signed to Augie.

Finally, this was first experience with Kaminsky in person and oh boy is he a treat. He growls, he stomps, he flails his arms, he'll create mismatches by going obscenely small because it's his only chance to win, and damn does his team play hard. If he gets any sort of uptick in the talent of his team they'll be a bother for all in their path.

This is every interaction Kaminsky has had with an official.

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

Augie's ten point win tonight over Wayne was their most balanced and complete effort given the opposition since their Indiana two-step. Jordan Spencer overcame a slow start to guide the way with 9pts-8ast-7reb while Steven Schaefer and Matt Cartwright shouldered the scoring load. Texas Tom sprinkled in a 2-1-2 or 3-2 zone heavily that threw the 'Cats off balance and actually caused two shot clock violations.

Schaefer's shooting exploits off the catch and the bounce can be extremely effective and well known to Augustana fans. Having said that, the aesthetics of Matt Cartwright's jump shot are visually flawless and make it seem that every shot leaving his hand could go in. He's currently filling the Al Richter role of spending most possessions stashed in the corner stretching the defense and waiting to strike, but he's adding more off the dribble moves each game and is a legit Freshmen of the Year candidate.

The most encouraging bright spot tonight was the second half play of redshirt freshmen Bodey Behrends, all 6 foot 9 190 pounds of him. His minutes and play have been extremely inconsistent this season but tonight he seized the perfect opportunity for him given the small size of the 'Cats. In seven second half minutes he had 4pts-4reb-3blk while looking like he belonged in a real NSIC game for the first time all year. If he can continue to understand the best way to use his size he'll be a difference maker on both ends.

He growls, he stomps, he flails his arms, he'll create mismatches by going obscenely small because it's his only chance to win, and damn does his team play hard.

Is the GOAT Gage Davis soon to be let out of basketball jail? Is he allowed to practice with team? With his return no other NSIC will challenge your snow dogs, I assume.

Fair point on the Cities comment. Honestly don't know what I was thinking on that. That being said, I wasn't trying to imply that Jordan was in the Cities necessarily. Just came off that way because Tiedman is the player I posted about next.

That was a pretty bad color choice, wasn't it.

Re: The NEW Official Thread of the Augustana Vikings

They still playing on 9' hoops in SD. :)

Cathedral and Jordan are not located in the Cities. Kings numbers are good though as the Cretin schedule is a quality schedule.(Mainly because it against all MN schools :) )

If its annoying to non-Augie fans stop going into the Augie thread and reading. At least it sticks to the topic of the thread.
