Points Aplenty in Southern Minnesota Basketball [Tues Jan 11 Scores]

Blooming Prairie senior Bobbie Bruns set a school scoring record during a victory at Randolph. The Medford girls outscored NRHEG 74-68 in a Kat Kountry 105 FM broadcast.

Clara Kniefel then stole the in-bound pass, scored, was fouled and nailed the free throw. Medford led 34-32 at the break. They extended the lead to seven early in the second half, but the Panthers stormed back to take a 51-49 lead. The Tigers responded with a 14-4 run and led the rest of the way.
