Champlin Park vs. DeLaSalle at Minnetonka High School
in the Breakdown Sports USA Tip Off Classic
7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12

DeLaSalle has built a dynasty program, winning the last four Class 3A state championships. The No. 1-3A Islanders get a test against a Class 4A team fresh off an impressive season when they meet Champlin Park.

Each team has just one game under its belt entering the week, but both were close contests. DeLaSalle topped Milwaukee Washington 56-48 in overtime while the No. 4-4A Rebels edged Robbinsdale Armstrong 61-59.

Both teams lost many pieces from last season's roster, but each had players step up in the victories. The Islanders got a 27-point night from Gabe Kalscheur and Goanar Mar chipped in 17, and Champlin Park's McKinley Wright scored in 24 points.
