The Hylanders lost an 85-76 decision to Orono in the Class AAA title game Saturday in Minneapolis
Yes, there was devastation in the eyes of each Columbia Heights boys basketball player after Saturday’s 85-76 loss to Orono in the Class AAA state championship. The thrill of the Hylanders’ run ended at Target Center with an inability to find an offensive rhythm. But even in defeat the Hylanders felt the magic that brought them on a nine-game winning streak and their first state tournament appearance in 81 years. On Saturday night there was belief that likely wasn’t with the program for much of those eight decades—a belief that this wasn’t the end. “We came this far—81 years is a long time,” senior FayMiss Freeman said. “So I don’t care if we took third place, second, fourth. We still made it. We still came here. I’d be happy if we were No…

The Hylanders coach has been to state as a player and now as a head coach, with 36 years in between.
Memories, when played back in our minds, can seem like yesterday. For Columbia Heights Coach Willie Braziel it might seem like an eternity since, as a player, his school won a state title. After all, that was back in 1976. But it isn’t nearly as daunting as the 81 years since the Columbia Heights Hylanders were last poised to make a run at a state title. That was 1930. “For me, I’m more nervous as a coach,” Braziel said about his team’s foray into the state tournament. “I was fine as a player; I knew what I could do.” Columbia Heights is starting to learn what they can do, too. The 23-6 squad has played well throughout a tough schedule, matching up against bigger schools, beating state top-10 Eagan High School at mid-season, and knocking …

The Eagles couldn't keep up with the Red Knights transition offense in a North Suburban Conference loss Friday.
Benilde-St. Margaret’s boys basketball team loves to run, and run it did on Friday night, using its transition offense to beat Totino-Grace 86-68 in a North Suburban Conference game. With the game knotted at 14 points each midway through the first half, the Red Knights went on an 11-0 scoring run and never looked back. The Eagles (8-5 overall, 4-2 in conference play) had as many double-figure scorers (five) as the Red Knights on Friday, but they couldn’t stop Benilde-St. Margaret’s high-powered offense. “To be honest with you, I don’t think our offense was much of an issue,” Eagles’ coach Keven Seim said. “Sixty-eight points is enough to win most ballgames. It seems like they’re just struggling keeping teams out of the paint [free-throw …

The Panthers have now won five of six games with a 58-44 win Friday night.
The Fridley versus Spring Lake Park boys' basketball game Friday night was a battle for bragging rights, a North Suburban conference victory and the traveling bucket-of-sand trophy. While the weather outside was far from a day at the beach, it was the Spring Lake Park Panthers (8-5, 4-2 conference) that took home the golden trophy (an award that's been around since 1959) with a 58-44 home win to keep pace as the third-place team in the conference. Both teams came ready to play when it came to shooting and fighting for control of the basketball. "The neighborhood border battle with Fridley is always a war," Spring Lake Park head coach Grant Guzy said. "You throw the records out the window. Both teams want it pretty bad." Spring Lake Park …
