Melrose vs. Braham at St. Cloud State University
8:15 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 13

Reigning Class 2A champion Melrose takes on Braham at St. Cloud State University in a battle of Class 2A, Section 6 contenders on Saturday.

The section became more competitive when the No. 3-2A Bombers were added prior to the season, and true to form, they enter the week leading the East subsection standings. The No. 10-2A Dutchmen and Albany are the top contenders in the West subsection.

Braham squeaked by Melrose 73-71 at the St. Cloud Cathedral tournament on Dec. 30, handing the Dutchmen their first loss of the season. The Bombers' backcourt led the way as Ryan Larson and Chris Olson each scored 18 points. Melrose's Tyler Braegelmann notched a game-high 20 points.
