Winter Season's Back Again
It seems like just yesterday I witnessed the Owls girls basketball team fall in a close battle with eventual state champion Ada-Borup at the University of Minnesota-Morris fieldhouse. My how time flies!
I'll be adding some info soon on the upcoming season.
Nov 14th Friday afternoon update...The Owls are ranked #7 by the Minnesota Breakdown publication. What an honor! I'll try to track that down and see what they said about this year's Hancock girls basketball team.
Yes, like it or not, winter is here.

Owls Girls Basketball Falls in Section 6A Final - Excellent ballgame Ends with Ada-Borup Winning 60-50
The Hancock Owls girls basketball team finishes another sparkling season on the hardwood with a final record of 22-5.
Seniors Chelsea Voorhees and Jenny Noordmans both put in outstanding performances for their final game of their prep careers. A host of Owls' underclassmen played great as well, although Ada-Borup had a bit more "juice" in their tank that put them over the top in a very exciting ballgame.
With a incredibly strong nucleus returning for the 2008-2009 season, the future definitely looks bright for Hancock girls basketball.
See you next season!

Get to the Game Early Folks! University of MN-Morris P.E. Center Will Be Standing-Room Only for Hancock/Ada-Borup Section Championship Game
Fans should arrive EARLY, as in 5:00 or 5:30, in order to get a good seat for the game. I found out that University officials are worried that the 3,000-plus seating at the UM-Morris fieldhouse will not be enough for the fans who will be coming to this Goliath-sized girls basketball game.
I will also add that I finally have been finding some good "scouting" information on Ada-Borup and have forwarded all of it to Coach Holleman. I thought about adding some of it to this but then realized I don't want it to get to the Owls' girls basketball players un-filtered by their coaches. I'll let the coaches do the coaching and I'll keep doing the reporting & blogging!
See you at the game, it will be the biggest game I have ever seen in my 20 years of watching basketball. This game is HUGE!

Section 6A-South Championship Game Photos
Most of these photos are downsized quite a bit, so downloading them to print out won't work too well. Once the season is over (a couple weeks from now!) I'll get all my pictures on CD's for players, family, and friends to get their hands on. See you all on Friday night at UMM!

Owls Girls Basketball Makes Second Straight Section Final, 69-44 Sub-Section Championship Win Over Ashby Arrows at the University of Minnesota-Morris
The Owls will face Ada-Borup (27-1), a 59-35 winner over Lake Park-Audubon, next Friday, March 7, at 7:00 at UM-Morris.
Ada-Borup defeated LP-A in the Sub-Section 6A-North championship tonight, held at Concordia-Moorhead. The highly-ranked Cougars began the playoffs with an 85-48 win over Norman County East (6-20 finish). In the sub-section semi's, the Cougars defeated New York Mills (18-8 finish) 83-49. New York Mills was the 5th seed, and advanced to the semi's with a 47-46 win over Park Christian, the 5th seed.
In the championship, the Cougars defeated the 3rd seed, Lake Park-Audubon, who entered the title game after a semi-final win over the 2-seed, Norman County West, 65-56.
In tonight's convincing win for the Owls (22-4) over the Ashby Arrows, they led 36-28 at halftime. The first half was a battle the whole way.
The tone for the second half was set in the first 66 seconds out of the locker room, with Jenny Noordmans, Bree Holleman, and Chelsea Voorhees all hitting buckets to put their team ahead 42-28 before the Arrows knew what hit them.
With 2:59 on the clock, Arrows' coach John Kent waved the white flag in a classy move, with the Owls sitting on a 22-point lead at that point.

Owls Girls Basketball Overcomes 25-11 Deficit to Win 74-61 over Brandon-Evansville For Sub-Section Championship Berth this weekend on Saturday night
The Hancock Owls girls basketball team (21-4) knocked down Brandon-Evansville tonight in the Sub-Section 6A-South semi-finals to advance to Saturday's championship game, which will be held at the friendly confines of the University of Minnesota-Morris P.E. Center at 7:00pm.
The Owls trailed 25-11 early in the game to the 19-6 Chargers. They fought back to make it a 28-21 game going into the locker room.
After halftime, the Owls lit up the net for an amazing 53 second-half points to win going away by double digits.
They will take on the Ashby Arrows, who picked up one of the biggest upsets this area has ever seen by defeating the previously undefeated Battle Lake Battlers 50-47. The Arrows moved to 17-6 on the season, while the Battlers ended 24-1. What a heartbreaking loss for a fine Battle Lake team. Going 1-1 in the playoffs is a terribly sour way to end a season for any state-ranked team.
Saturday night will be a fun game. See you there.

Owls Girls Basketball Wins Third Straight Playoff Opener 67-34 Against Pheasant Conference Rival Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley
The Owls advance to the Sub-Section 6A-South semi-finals to face third-seeded Brandon-Evansville, who was a 70-67 winner against Parkers Prairie tonight in another quarterfinal matchup.
I heard that Parkers led late in the game against the Chargers tonight. If anything, Brandon-Evansville had some energy taken out of them with tonight's squeaker of a win over their fellow Little Eight Conference rival Panthers.
I'll post more information about the playoffs, as well as tonight's win against the Wolverines, on Wednesday night.

Owls Girls Basketball gets Roughed up at B-B-E To Finish Another Sparkling Regular Season 19-4 Overall -- Playoffs Begin Next Week at Home
The Hancock Owls girls basketball team (6-0 Pheasant, 19-4 overall) will begin the Section 6A playoffs at home next Tuesday night against the winner of the Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley vs. Wheaton-Herman/Norcross game the night before. Their section schedule will be brutal, as they are one of three state-ranked teams in Section 6A.
Tonight at B-B-E (17-8), the Owls faced the worst odds, as starting guard Lindsie Cunningham was out with injury and the host Jaguars played at a high level the entire game. After trailing 28-13, the Owls fought back with a vengeance, cutting the deficit to 7 points and then 6 points in the final minutes.
I'll try to get more updates up on the regular season, and next week the Section 6A tournament will be running fast and furious!
