20 points for Randy Breuer and 14 for Roland Brooks. Gophers go up for good on a trey with 3:00 left by a Minnesota high school legend. Offered scholarships in three sports by the Gophers, he settled on baseball and rose as high as AAA in the Dodger organization. Can you name him?

What was the high school again? Bird Island, Lake Oglivie??? I faintly remember Wohler (who was a prep legend) coming from this small community out in the sticks.
