Tracy-Milroy-Balaton at No. 1-1A Minneota
7:30 p.m., Friday, Feb. 7

Life is tough for opponents of Minneota in the Camden Conference. The defending Class 1A state champion Vikings are again ranked No. 1 in the state and have been rolling through their schedule with a perfect 17-0 record. Second-place Tracy-Milroy-Balaton took the Vikings’ best shot in their first meeting on Dec. 13, a 69-32 victory for Minneota. The Panthers stayed close through intermission, but were outscored 35-11 in the second half. Taylor Reiss (25.0 ppg) led the Vikings with 23 points and 10 rebounds and is arguably the best post player in Class 1A and a load for any opponent. Can the Panthers make it closer in the rematch? It will be up to leading scorer Cassie Hook (13.7 ppg) and T-M-B’s depth to make it happen.
