College tips before tip-offs

Hayfield does it again: cagers nab baseball title, too

By Bruce Strand

A fter the Hayfield Vikings captured their school’s first basketball championship in April, they fig-

ured, why stop there?

Ten weeks later, with mostly the same guys, Hayfield nabbed their first state baseball crown as well.

A big difference was that the basketball team, coached by Chris Pack, entered a wide-open state tournament unranked, but the baseball team, coached by Kasey Krekling, roared into the state tourney ranked No. 1 in Class 1A, and finished as the only unbeaten team in Minnesota.

In basketball, Hayfield claimed the Class 1A champion-ship with a 21-4 record after edging Hancock 61-60 in the finals April 10.

In baseball, the Vikings finished 26-0 after crushing their first two state opponents, Adrian 16-1 and Spring-field 16-0, then rallying from a 4-0 deficit to beat New York Mills 7-4 on June 18.

Eric Bungum, a role player in hoops averaging 2.5 points, was a one-man wrecking crew at the state base-ball tournament. The senior infielder went 6-for-10 with a homer, three doubles, nine runs-batted-in and five runs scored. In the finals, his three-run double to deep left center at Target Field gave the Vikings the lead at 6-4 in the fifth inning.

Easton Frichter, who averaged 10.7 points in basket-ball, went 5-for-11 with a homer and three RBI’s at state baseball. The junior pitcher/outfielder committed to the Gophers in July.

Lucas Hansen, senior infielder, who averaged 3.1 points in basketball, went 5-for-8 with six runs at state base-ball. Joey Tempel (2.0 ppg in basketball) went 4-for-9 with six runs and three RBI’s. The senior infielder/pitcher threw a five-inning two-hit shutout with nine strikeouts in the semifinals.

Ethan Slaathaug, who averaged 25.3 points for the sea-son, was 2-for-7 with four runs at state. The senior out-fielder got both hits in the finals.

Nolan Klocke, a junior who got the save against New York Mills with 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief of Frichter, was a JV basketball player. Also playing in the basketball and baseball state tournaments were sopho-more Ethan Pack (scored 10.6 ppg) and junior Kobe Foster 3.7. Among the top eight scorers in basketball, only Eric Matti (16.9 ppg) did not play baseball.

In the state basketball tournament, Hayfield beat Leg-acy Christian 62-43, Badger/Greenbush-Middle River 79-63 and Hancock 61-60.

Slaathaug, whose 71 points was the most of any play-er in all four classes, later signed with Dakota State in South Dakota. Matti scored 47 points and Pack 37. Frichter, a small forward at 6 feet, netted 29 points and showed the athletic ability the Gophers like by snagging 51 rebounds (29 against Legacy). Foster had a 12-point game in the close finals win.

Khalid El-Amin to coach

St. Thomas Academy By Bruce Strand

K halid El-Amin, probably an all-time top five player in Minnesota high school basketball history, fol-

lowed by huge college success and a long pro career, is back in prep basketball as a head coach. St. Thomas Academy named El-Amin, 42, as its new coach on July 15. Ironically, one of the dynamic 5-foot-10 guard’s prep highlights was a game-winning shot at the buzzer against the Cadets in the 1996 state tourney.

Minneapolis North won three con-secutive state championships with El-Amin running the show, earning AP Player of the Year awards each year. He was Mr. Basketball as a se-nior and a McDonald’s All-American. In college, he was UConn’s floor lead-er when they won the 1999 NCAA championship his sophomore year, landing him on the cover of Sports

Illustrated. He made all-Big East first team as a junior, then turned pro. After a brief NBA tenure (50 games) with the Chicago Bulls, El-Amin played 15 pro seasons in Europe.

He was an inaugural pick when the Minnesota State High School Basketball Hall of Fame opened in 2018.

“Khalid is a basketball legend in the state of Minne-sota,” said Greg May, activities director at St. Thomas Academy, predicting that he’s going to “do great things” for the program. “Khalid is an energetic guy who understands the importance of relationships and development when it comes to student-athletes. His vast experience, basketball IQ and winning back-ground is exactly what we were looking for in our next head coach.”

El-Amin operates El-Amin Training and been involved in basketball camps. He was an assistant coach for two seasons at Burnsville and one at Minneapolis North.

St. Thomas Academy has made 10 state tournament appearances, with Class AAA championships in 1998 and 2007, and two runner-up finishes. Their last two state trips were in 2017 and 2018. However, the Ca-

Bueckers, Suggs were college hoops

frosh sensations By Bruce Strand

A ll season long in college basketball, two fabulous freshmen from Minnesota – Paige Bueckers at

UConn and Jalen Suggs at Gonzaga – appeared head-ed for NCAA championships. Both their No. 1-ranked teams fell in the Final Four, but everything else about their first year out of high school was spectacular.

Bueckers, UConn’s 5-foot-11 guard from Hopkins, garnered the AP Player of the Year Award and the Naismith Award as the undisputed queen of college hoops. She was the second Minnesotan of either gender, and the first freshman woman, to capture those honors. Gopher Carol Ann Shudlick won the Wade Trophy in 1994 as the nation’s top female college player.

Suggs, Gonzaga’s 6-foot-4 guard from Minnehaha Academy, a second-team AP All-American, was the

fifth pick in the NBA draft, taken by the Orlando Magic.

They’ve been close friends since grade school. Bueckers made an ap-pearance on ESPN to tell Suggs, “It seems like yesterday that we were just shooting in the St. Louis Park gym. And now you’re getting draft-ed. This is something that we’ve

talked about since we were little kids.”

Bueckers averaged 20.0 points, 5.8 assists, 4.9 re-bounds and 2.3 steals, shooting 52.4 percent, for the Huskies, who finished 28-2 after Arizona shocked them 69-58 in the semifinals. She had three straight 30-point games, which none of UConn’s seven previ-ous AP Players of the Year ever did. Her 174 assists was a Huskies record.

Suggs tallied 14.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.9 steals per game, shooting 50.3 percent, and was a finalist for the Bob Cousy Award. Gonzaga was one win from becoming the first unbeaten NCAA champion
