The MBA Storm boys skated to their eighth win Saturday on the Benson ice. Zach Bruns was in great form with a hat trick. Brady Loge was another standout with two goals. Our superiority on the ice was quite evident in the first period, to the tune of five goals.
The opponent from southern Minnesota was Worthington who failed to score in the opening period. This game would end in an 8-2 score with MBA triumphant.
The first period Storm onslaught began with Bruns getting the puck in the net at :25 with an assist from Brady DeHaan. Bruns came through for goal No. 2 as well. This time it was with an Ian Rajewsky assist (5:14). Loge showed his scoring flair at 8:41 assisted by Bruns and DeHaan. MBA kept overwhelming Worthington as Hunter Blume scored with an assist from Ryan Tolifson.
The hits kept on coming as Chris Halvorson scored with assists from DeHaan and Loge. The Storm marked time in the second period which was a 2-2 stalemate. Worthington got on the board with a Blake Luinenburg goal that had an Andrew Benson assist. MBA struck with a goal at 1:51 by Cole Blume, assisted by Loge. Bruns went to work again to score at 13:21 with an assist by Brady Goff.
Worthington got its second goal when Dawson Duangapai got the puck in the net at 16:05. Luinenburg and Konner Honius assisted.
MBA reached eight goals with the success by Loge at 13:32 of the third. Loge was assisted by Tolifson and Hunter Blume. MBA fortunes were truly "blooming" on this night.
Peyton LeClair was our goalie and he had eleven saves in 13 attempts. The Worthington goalie was Steven Adams with 36/44 numbers.
Girls not so fortunate: The MBA girls hockey team was outdone by the Worthington Trojans. Playing on the Worthington ice Saturday, MBA got outdone 6-2. The Trojans got going with three goals in the first period, two in the second and one in the third. Kessy Aljets had two goals and two assists for the victor.
Taryn Picht scored both MBA goals in the third period. Our goalie Leah Thompson had 21 saves.
The MBA girls' W/L dropped to 1-5. Worthington was left at 2-6.
The Tiger Center was a showcase for wrestling on Saturday. The Tigers of MAHACA hosted Dassel-Cokato/Litchfield. (Get your hyphens and slash marks right.)
Unfortunately things did not go well for the host Tigers. According to "Minnesota Scores," this was the last meet of the regular season. We dropped our last three. On Saturday the outcome was a 65-17 score.
The DCL coach is Bryan Clemen who had to be smiling at meet's end. Clemen's squad is ranked fourth in Minnesota AA. The MAHACA pins by Dallas Walton and Davin Rose weren't enough to challenge the visitors. Ethan Lebrija contributed a technical fall.
Let's take a thorough look at how all the bouts went. So we have Tyce Anderson vying for the Tigers at 106 pounds where he lost to Andrew Joedeman. It was a fall outcome in 1:50.
Walton got his fall win over Wyatt Decker at 113 pounds, time of :37. Andrew Marty lost by fall to Alex Joedeman in 1:22. Lebrija achieved his tech fall win 20-4 over Gabe Nelson. Davin Rose went to work to pin Monte Gillman in 3:39.
At 138 pounds, DCL's Jerry Simes won by forfeit. At 145 pounds also, DCL got the forfeit win, this time with Shelby Fischer having his arm raised. It was ditto at 152 pounds as unfortunately MAHACA wasn't able to send anyone onto the mat. This is an aspect of wrestling that I don't care for: forfeits. The DCL 152-pound forfeit winner was Eddie Simes.
Hunter Massner strode onto the mat to wrestle for MAHACA against Jude Link. It's fascinating how MAHACA has one wrestler with the last name Massner, another Messner. Back in my newspaper days, if I was not aware of the distinction, I would have assumed "Massner" was a typo. I got enlightened on this matter just before my first blog post with wrestling info this season. Hunter Massner lost by technical fall to Jude Link 19-4.
OK, now it's Toby MESSNER vying as the Tigers' 170-pounder. Toby did not fare well as he lost by fall to Tate Link in 1:43.
DCL was back to winning by forfeit at 182 pounds: Will O'Brien had his arm raised. Hunter Gibson at 195 pounds lost by fall to Beau Nelson (3:01). Brock Marty at 220 lost by fall to Hayden Hoernerman in 3:21. Carter Gibson was the Tigers' big guy and he had his shoulders pinned to the mat in 5:56, by Brenan Rokala.
Rush Limbaugh departs this life
There is resistance in Florida to the governor's directive for having flags fly at half-staff in reverence to the late Rush Limbaugh. The best assessment I have seen of Limbaugh's life was a comment posted on the KFI-Los Angeles radio web page in the "I Heart" system:
Rest in Peace because when America mattered it was ratings that mattered more and in deepest reverence Rush did kneel mightily before the god Arbitron and it was good. From rabid Steelers fan to drive-time shock jock, Rush was and ever remains America's most listened to narcotic addict. Many thanks Rush, for smoking all those cigars.
