Delano at Minneapolis Patrick Henry
7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 21

Delano will be playing for the second seed in the Class 3A, Section 6 playoffs this week when facing Minneapolis Patrick Henry on Tuesday and Orono on Thursday, which are also in the hunt for a high seed.

Patrick Henry, which fell to No. 4-3A Orono in December, could use a win over the No. 6-3A Tigers on Tuesday to help it avoid playing on perennial Class 3A champion DeLaSalle’s side of the section bracket.

Led by Savion Scott (15.6 ppg), the No. 13-3A Patriots (16-6, 12-2) have won eight of their past nine games through its fast-paced style of play.

Up-tempo is how Delano (18-4, 5-2) likes to play, and suits the Tigers' Calvin Wishart (27.7 ppg), who is Minnesota's third-ranked scorer and led his team to a state-best of 83.9 points per game.
