As they were in the previous two statetournament games, the Islanders were offand running in the championship, building a9-0 lead in the first three minutes. DeLaSallewas poised on offense and played pressure-packed defense. Austin, which had fits withDeLaSalle’s half-court defense, endured coldshooting and turnovers in their opening pos-sessions and didn’t score its first basket untilnearly five minutes had elapsed.

The Packers found their rhythm, however,and pulled to within five points midwaythrough the first half. But the Islanderspushed the advantage back to 10, before set-tling for a 31-23 lead at the break. The

Islanders didn’t quit there; they openedthe second half on a 10-0 run that pushed theadvantage to 41-23. The Packers could get nocloser than 12 points the rest of the way.

Junior guard Both Gach led the Packerswith 14 points while junior guard DuothGach chipped in 10. It was the third time inthis current spree of championships thatDeLaSalle defeated Austin for a title. The others came in 2013 and 2014.

nament as the No. 3 seed. Ahead of theEagles were No. 1 Champlin Park and No. 2Maple Grove, teams they had lost to duringthe regular season. The Eagles chased awayany lingering memories of those losses withvictories over both en route to capturing theClass AAAA championship for the third timein five seasons.

Junior guard Tre Jones was dominant onboth ends of the floor, scoring 24 points andgrabbing 18 rebounds, including 14 on thedefensive end, as Apple Valley posted a 60-54victory over Champlin Park in the champi-onship game. Senior forward Mason Morseadded 12 points including a baseline layupwith 27 seconds remaining in regulation thatgave the Eagles a four-point advantage.

Apple Valley (30-2) won previous ClassAAAA championships in 2013 and 2015.Champlin Park (31-1) was attempting tobecome the first undefeated Class AAAAchampion since 2009 when Hopkins was 31-0.

The Rebels had a 47-41 lead with 7:30 leftin regulation.
