As Stew and I wrote in our book, there was a small school (³graded school²) tournament in the 1920s, and the smaller schools agitated for a small school ...
Since I went to Buffalo, which was put in the small school class my senior year (the first year of the two tier tournament), I know first hand what you are...

The Mpls. South girls lost for the first time last night 79-76 at Mpls. North. With the win, North announced itself to be ready to contend for the AAA title,...
Buffalo is a good example, BTW, of the pit falls in doing this at all. Buffalo is AAA in basketball today, and AA in terms of its administrative region meaning...
Paul, Is that right or are you asking the question? I certainly never knew that. Marc ... Re: [mnbuckets] 2 class state tournament 1950-1959 Paul, Is that...
Actually Bob sounds right. I can¹t find my notes on that but it sounds right. Very interesting, Paul. I am just amazed at how often I come across the same...
Paul Biewen started for one of the teams in the first all star game involving Minnesota kids that I remember. It was 1976, one Minnesota team vs. another...

I rag on baseball fans for being so negative, but they know more about their sport than basketball fans. As I have said many time, the MLB all star selections...

There was a Gene Biewen that played for Austin Saint Augustine (or it may have been Pacelli by this time) in the 1950's. A grandfather or granduncle to the...
I assume that would be the same Gene Biewen who coached Mankato Wilson and West 1976-91ish, father of Paul, and probably grandfather of Anna. I didn¹t know he...
... is no longer so much awaited. St. Cloud is but 1-5 in the conference. Erika Quigley is still an all-American and, frankly, St. Cloud¹s entire year comes ...
Marc, wow, what a wonderful take on me mentioning Gene Biewen and Pat Costello, you just took off and went with it and expanded it to a terrific degree. It...
And I was born in 53. (How could you miss the big news?!) Imagine if Jirelle has gone to Austin HS instead of Pacelli. He could have teamed with Parade All...
In a continuing series. You had a nice run of small school champions in the Œ30s but it came to an abrupt end in 1943 and you¹ll recall there was only one...
Last night, Richfield hosted Mahtomedi. George Palke, the former Bethel head coach, is now the JV coach at Mahtomedi. Palke is a Richfield grad, class of...
I see that Abu-Shamala went scoreless against Illinois yesterday after nearly hitting 20 vs. Northwestern. For reasons I don't understand, Mike Lochner was in...
Interesting the woulda coulda dynasties like Mountain Lake and Virginia. As I recall Crosby-Ironton was back to state in the 60's, when I started going. From:...
The Griggas comment sounds exactly like the sort of prejudice that helped set back Minnesota basketball for a generation. I have no doubt that Illinois had far...
Actually, lots of people were saying what Griggas said, including Mel Taube, who came to coach Carleton in the early ‘50s from Indiana, and Kundla himself,...
Mythical small school tournament 1930s The actual state champion is shown in boldface # Marks the actual state title game score + Marks an actual state...
OK, somebody‹Joel Maturi? Pam Borton?--come clean, here. Is Glen Mason really coaching the Gopher women? Today it was a 27-11 lead that disappeared, as the...
Im not disagreeing in a general sense. It was a down period for MN basketball talent. But I think objectively Duluth Central was a talented team, and my...

Jirelle also went on to be the starting guard for a St. Bonaventure team that was ranked very highly. (#3? #2? I don't think #1, but I'm not sure.) ...

Why do you have Buffalo in AA? It was A when the two tier tournament was introduced in 1971. ________________________________ From: mnbuckets@yahoogroups.com...

Because I don¹t have the data to know that, I¹m going by where they are now. An imperfect solution to be sure. St. Paul Mechanic Arts (small) and Thief River...
