In the nightcap of the Breakdown Sports Tip Off Classic at Minnetonka High School, the host Skippers had no answer for the offensive game of Lakeville South senior Alex Richter.  The big guard poured in a game-high 30 points, including 21 before halftime, to lead the Cougars to a 91-67 victory.

Richter did all of his damage from inside the three-point arc, hitting 13 field goals and 4-of-6 from the free throw line.  But he had plenty of help from Christianson (21 points) and Riley West (20).  West had 11 in the first half, while Christianson scored 15 after the break.

Senior Nick Latzke led Minnetonka with 20 points, while Tommy McDermott and Andy Jones each chipped in with 11.
