Wolfpack boys rip Woodbury in regular season finale

Posted

Park’s Wolfpack go sweet revenge Friday night with a regular-season-ending 60-48 victory at Woodbury.

The first time Park and Woodbury met this season, it was an embarrassment for the Wolfpack, who lost 65-36 at Cottage Grove back in Jan. 23.

But Friday night was a completely different story. Park pulled away from a tight 29-25 halftime lead, outscoring the host Royals 31-23 after intermission for the 12-point triumph.

Senior guard Caleb Sweet ripped the nets for 24 points to lead the Wolfpack offensively. Aaron Sandin scored 11, Justin Ebbers 9, Peyton Faber 8 and Brandon Bihm 6.

With the win, Park improved to 7-11 in the Suburban East Conference and 11-15 overall. The Wolfpack finished in a four-way tie for fifth in the conference, along with Irondale, Mounds View and White Bear Lake.

Woodbury ended the regular season at 6-12 in the SEC and 9-17 overall.

Park now moves on to section play. The Section 3AAAA matchups were fifth-seeded Eastview (7-19) at fourth-seeded Park (11-15), eighth-seeded Bloomington Jefferson (3-23) at top-seeded Eagan (18-8), seventh-seeded Burnsville (7-19) at second-seeded Rosemount (18-8) and sixth-seeded Hastings (13-13) at third-seeded Apple Valley (16-10). The semifinal games will be played Thursday and the finals on March 12 at the high seeds.

Cretin-Derham Hall 85, Park 63

Fifth-ranked Cretin-Derham Hall took an 85-63 decision at home Tuesday from the visiting Park Wolfpack in Suburban East Conference boys' basketball.

Cretin led 43-34 at the half but then outscored the Wolfpack 42-29 after intermission.

Aaron Sandin scored 19 and Justin Ebbers 14 to lead Park.

The Raiders made 36 of 64 field goals (56 percent), including 11 of 23 (48 percent) from 3-point range.
