Maple Grove Girls Basketball Preps For Lakeville North, State Tournament
The Maple Grove girls basketball team is busy preparing for the program’s sixth state tournament appearance, and the first since 2019.
The Crimson (24-4) won the Section 5AAAA tournament last week, beating Mounds View 80-48 in the final.
Maple Grove faces Lakeville North (24-5) in the state tournament quarterfinals Wednesday at noon at Williams Arena.
The Panthers are in the tournament for the eighth time in the past nine seasons.
The winner advances to Thursday night’s state semifinals against either top-seeded Hopkins or White Bear Lake.
