Wayzata vs. Maple Grove at Minnetonka High School
in the Breakdown Sports USA Tip Off Classic
5:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12

Before Wayzata defeated Maple Grove 77-62 in last season's Class 4A, Section 5 tournament, the Crimson had won three in a row over the Trojans.

To begin a winning streak of its own, Wayzata needs to find an answer for Maple Grove's Brad Davison, who scored 42 points in the playoff matchup last March.

The Crimson must also have some balance on offense, as Davison accounted for all but 20 of their points in the playoff loss. It is an encouraging sign that Maple Grove had five players score in double figures in an 89-69 season-opening win over Andover.

The Trojans play No. 2-4A Hopkins the night before. With back-to-back games against two of the state's best teams, Wayzata's mettle will be tested.
