Mountain Iron-Buhl vs. Browerville/Eagle Valley
Winter Lakes Classic at Alexandria High School
10:30 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 13
 
Two top teams in Class 1A kick off the first volume of the Winter Lakes Classic, put on by Breakdown Sports USA, with a Saturday morning showdown.
 
Mountain Iron-Buhl (20-1) is averaging 83.1 ppg this season and appears dead set on a deep postseason run after three straight first-round exits at the state tournament.
 
Junior guard Chelsea Mason averages 20.8 points, 6.6 assists and 7.6 steals per game in leading the No. 2-1A Rangers in their rampant run over other northern Minnesota teams.
 
Browerville (16-2, 9-0) has 10 straight wins since two losses at the Mountain Iron-Buhl Tournament in late December, but Saturday's matchup will be the Tigers' fourth game of the week.
 
No need to fear, though, as Browerville features a rather potent offensive lineup with five starters who are now members of the 1,000-point career scoring club.
