Maple Lake’s girls’ basketball team had an exciting winter break. On Monday, Dec. 30, they not only got to play at Target Center, home of NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves, and four-time WNBA world champion Minnesota Lynx, they defeated their opponent, North Lakes, 61-13.
This was the first time the Irish girls have played at Target Center – the boys’ team had a game there last year over winter break. Coaches, players and parents said it was a fun experience made better by a big win like a cherry on top.
“Playing at the Target sounded like a good idea early in the season, but it was even better knowing it would lead to a lifelong basketball memory. It was such a large and fun space to play in. The girls and coaches really enjoyed the experience,” Irish Head Coach Adam Ronnenberg said.
