BLOOMING PRAIRIE — It took awhile for the Blooming Prairie girls basketball team to find it’s energy source. But once it did, it was unstoppable in a 49-35 win over Triton in BP Friday.

Triton (1-6 overall) opened the game with a 10-2 lead, but BP (6-0 overall) turned the momentum near the end of the first half when Kassie Lueth gave the Awesome Blossoms their first lead of the night on a post move to make it 20-19 with 2:36 left in the half.

Lueth later found Lynnae Nelson for a lay-up to make it 24-19 and Resha Koster, who had four steals, converted a three-point play on an up-and-under move with 32 seconds left in the first half to make it 27-19 at the break.

Lueth opened the second half with five straight points — including a turnaround jumper and a put-back.

The Blossoms scored the last nine points of the first half and the first 10 points of the second half as they held the Cobras scoreless for a 10-minute span before taking a 36-19 lead on two Koster free throws with 15:20 left.

“Once we get going, we can feed off each other’s plays and energy,” said Lueth, who had 10 points, 12 rebounds, two blocks, two assists, and two steals on the night.

It was that energy that the Blossoms lacked early when Triton built it’s lead.

“It’s high school basketball,” BP head coach John Worke said. “We had such a high energy game on Tuesday at Byron from start to finish. I was afraid the kids would come out a little flat and that was one of those things that happened.”

BP got back in the game by pounding it inside and letting their frontcourt do most of the scoring.

“Some nights are point guards are gonna step up and other nights are posts are gonna do it,” Nelson said. “We have a lot of balance.”

Nelson, who had 16 points, five rebounds, and two steals, said the game came easier once the Blossoms built up there lead — which was as big as 47-25 before BP pulled it’s starters.

“It was a sigh of relief, but we had to stay focused and get it done,” she said.

The Blossoms made a big adjustment in their 2-3 zone to slow down Triton’s Alyssa Bryngelson, who scored seven points in the first game’s six minutes, but finished with just 12.

“At halftime coach told us to watch the cutters in the middle and we stopped her there,” Lueth said.

The Blossoms were able to thwart Triton’s full court press with the help of the front court, as Lueth played a big part in bringing the ball up.

“I don’t prefer to bring it up. But I used to play point guard so I guess it’s something I have to do once in a while,” Lueth said.

Worke said his team’s all-around ball control is one of it’s strengths.

“We feel all our kids can handle the ball OK for who’s guarding them,” he said. “Our bigger girls can handle the ball against other bigger girls, but they’ll struggle against guards.”
