So proud of the guys! We came up short tonight. Not enough winning plays in 2nd half. Richfield gets us 67-63. Thanks to Mason, Hayden, Duang, Donovan, Avery, & Aiden for leading us & paving the way for a bright future! &thanks to all those who followed us all year!
#scarletpride
What an atmosphere tonight. Great to see the West gym packed. We just didn’t get it done on the offensive end. Struggled to get in a flow. Congrats to NU on coming to play.
#scarletpride
a short thread about our seniors….
It was a grind it out battle tonight! The scarlets hold on for the 52-47 win and first section title since 09. Balanced scoring and great defense! Another great team effort.
#scarletpride
A lot happened tonight that can’t be explained but happy for senior Aidan Corbett for hitting this shot! The
@scarletfans1
brought some energy and hats off to Northfield for bringing it to us tonight. They were a tough guard!
#scarletpride
Grinded out the win tonight. 54-50. Led by Collins, Corbett, and Satre on O. With Satre hitting 4-4 from free throw line down the stretch.
#scarletpride
Mekhi-3rd all time scoring, leads in every statistical category for 4 years. A special talent but even more special is what a young man he is to his teammates & this school. Also 3 yr captain & the heart of our program. NDSU is getting a great one
#scarletpride
4 members of the Scarlets were named to the Big9 All-Comference teams this year. Mekhi and Louis have been named All-Conference and Aidan and Cornell All-Conference Honorable Mention
#scarletpride
Great team win tonight...as always the guys took a lot of pride in defending the ball as a group. 61-28 halftime score and a 87-56 win. Jock(24), Collins(22), Ellwein(20), Magers(12).
#scarletpride
A fun stat to start the week. With Mekhi Collins 20 points on Sat. he has moved into 4th all-time in scoring for West Boys basketball! Jake Dale(1911), Andy Wills(1677), Tommy Saffert(1438), Mekhi(1174 & counting), Jake Makela(1159), Darrin Nelson(1146)!
#scarletpride
To go along with the 1st section title since 09...we also want to recognize our 3 Big 9-All Conference members Mason Ellwein, Mekhi Collins, Buom Jock and Big 9 Honorable Mention to Louis Magers. Great athletes, leaders, and young men!
#scarletpride
The Scarlets improve to 8-1 with a big win vs crosstown rival Mankato East. Ellwein(22), Jock(20), Collins(14) all in the second half. Big min from Corbett, Mellen, Ayers off the bench.
#scarletpride
Brady & Mekhi have been here since beginning for us 5 yrs ago. They were grinders who lived in the gym. Brady had a tough high school career with injuries but was still a special leader. A 3 yr captain who will be a great coach someday w his ability to see the game
#scarletpride
The scarlets(6-4) grinded out a win tonight over Faribault 62-49. Sathoff and Frericks lead the way with 19&16. The team was motivated to get the win coming back to Coach B’s old stomping grounds.
#HT
Another great team win tonight! 61-36 over Willmar. Collins(19), Jock(18), Ellwein(15). Collins also becomes the 7th boys basketball player in school history to score 1000 points. Next game Friday hosting Marshall for the section title.
#scarletpride
Aidan…maybe the guy who showed the most growth from freshmen year to the end. The smartest guy on the floor, a great shot, & had a knack for getting to the rim off the ball screen. He was the quiet steady leader who never wavered with adversity
#scarletpride
Had a lid on the rim to start but we defended well & took the game back when they cut it to 2. Proud of our senior leadership tonight. 67-54 win led by Collins, Magers, Corbett. With big min again from Ayers, Raverty, Franke, Blackstad. Plus our substitute managers were on point
Louis our vocal leader this year. He is a fierce competitor who was a great surprise coming in as a freshmen. We should have filmed his footwork in the post. A special talent as well who worked his tail off to become a great post player.
#scarletpride
Well we grew up a little bit tonight...a 68-65 W in Hutch. Blew a couple 10 point leads in first half but came back from 6 down w 2 min to go. Tied it on a Haugum 3 as time expired. Defended well in OT. Everyone contributed
#scarletfamily
Scarlets get a road win tonight at Faribault 77-59. Dimler(18), Satre(14), Smith(12), Magers(11) lead the way. And the best part of going to Faribault is seeing this guy on the wall!
#coachBurmeister

#scarletpride
We can’t forget to recognize Jaela Collins as our student manager this year! She did such a fantastic job. We will miss her! What a wonderful addition to our staff she has been
#scarletpride

Heck of a ball game! Kudos to both student sections! That was an amazing atmosphere. East wins 65-64. Proud of our effort…need to execute better down the stretch but had our chances that’s for sure.
#scarletpride
Cornell-This kid will always hold a special place in our ❤️. He gave us grey hairs but had a lot of great talks about life on car rides home. A classy, charismatic guy who became a dang good basketball player. A college team will be lucky to have him next season

Hayden-he didn’t get the minutes but is such a great young man & teammate. He was as valuable as the others for his work ethic & heart. He is on to big things & college football. Excited for his future.
#scarletpride
Well tonight didn’t disappoint for atmosphere! Both student sections were fantastic and a great game it was. Proud of the guys…something to build on for the stretch run. Steinke(21), Satre(19) lead the way. Satre with the 3 to take the lead late.
