It was two games and two very different kinds of wins for the Rosemount girls basketball team last weekend in St. Cloud. The Irish needed overtime to pull out a 76-70 win over Woodbury in their first game at the St. Cloud Tech tournament Dec. 27. The next day they turned up...

It’s been good to be home for the Rosemount girls basketball team so far this season. In two home games, the Irish have gone 2-0 and outscored their opponents by 60 points. They scored a season-high 82 points during last Tuesday’s 82-57 blowout of Farmington at Irish Gym. ...

The Rosemount girls basketball team went from “energetic” to “stagnant” in a span of one day last week. After routing Bloomington Kennedy 71-36 in their South Suburban Conference opener last Thursday at Irish Gym, the Irish were on the other end of a 63-41 loss Friday...

The early stages of each half belonged to Rosemount, but Eden Prairie took over at the end of each session to close out a season-opening 78-68 win over the Irish last Tuesday. Rosemount opened the game by charging to a 13-2 lead, but the Eagles slowly chipped away and took the...

Another slow start and continued rebounding struggles made for a tough night for Rosemount last Wednesday in the opening round of the Section 3AAAA basketball tournament. The Irish fell behind 13-0 out of the gate, and gave up five baskets on five offensive rebounds, as 10th-ranked...

Eagan came up with the final run in a game that was full of them last Tuesday in Rosemount. The Wildcats closed with a 16-4 spurt to spoil the Irish's Senior Night with a 46-41 victory at Irish Gym. The Irish led 11-4 in the opening minutes, but Eagan used a charge late in the...

No team in the state played a tougher schedule last week than the Rosemount girls basketball team. Two of the top three teams in Class 4A came to Irish Gym for South Suburban Conference games last week and both came away with victories. No. 3 Eastview drilled 12 of 17 shots from...

The final results show two pretty similar games for the Rosemount girls basketball team last week. The Irish scored 54 points and shot 31 percent in a home loss to Prior Lake last Tuesday. Then they scored 54 points and shot 31 percent in a road setback at Lakeville South on Friday. But...

Friday night seemed like it was going to be a good bounce-back opportunity for the Rosemount girls basketball team. Coming off a disappointing second half in a loss to Apple Valley on Tuesday, the Irish had reason to be confident going on the road to take on a Bloomington Jefferson...

Offense was not a problem for the Rosemount girls basketball team last week. The Irish had eight different players score at least six points last Tuesday against Burnsville when they lit up the Irish Gym scoreboard for a season-high 82 points in an 82-60 South Suburban Conference...

A promising first half gave way to a disappointing second half for the Rosemount girls basketball team last Thursday in Eagan. The Irish saw a 12-point lead disappear as they turned the ball over 11 times, gave up 11 offensive rebounds and made just 4 of 15 shots from the free-throw...

Baskets were hard to come by for Rosemount Friday night at third-ranked (Class 4A) Bloomington Kennedy. The Irish managed just nine field goals and scored their season low by 17 points in a 63-26 conference loss to the 11-2 Eagles. "There is a reason they're the No. 3 team in the...

The Rosemount girls basketball team produced its two highest-scoring games of the year in winning its third straight title at the Grand Rapids Invitational last week. The Irish opened the tournament last Thursday night by routing host Grand Rapids, 79-54. They started slowly in...

Twenty-one turnovers and 32-percent shooting proved too much for Rosemount to overcome in a 58-50 South Suburban Conference loss at Prior Lake last Tuesday. With their second straight loss, the Irish slipped to 3-5 overall. They hosted Lakeville South Friday and are back on the court...
