Park of Cottage Grove at St. Paul Central 
7 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 2

Park of Cottage Grove finished strong last season, winning its last six games to end the regular season with a 19-6 record.

The Wolfpack lost their top four scorers, leaving junior center Ally Gorres (5.1 points per game) and senior guard Carlie Williams (4.1 ppg) to fill the void. 

St. Paul Central (0-2) dropped its first two games of the season, losing to Waconia (80-76) on Nov. 28 and No. 4-4A White Bear Lake (51-49) on Nov. 29, but don't think the Minutemen are slipping. 

They are coming off back-to-back state tournament appearances and return senior guard Chelcie Kizart, who averaged 12.5 points per game. She opened the season by scoring 24 points in the loss to Waconia.
