The Sleepy Eye girls basketball team had the experience of a lifetime playing in the "Barn" at Williams Arena.
If games were decided by effort alone, then Sleepy Eye would be playing for the state championship. Unfortunately for the Indians, the game of basketball is decided by who puts the ball in the hoop most often. Mountain Iron-Buhl scored the first 11 points of the game and never trailed in defeating the local girls 50-31 Thursday in the Class A high school girls basketball state tournament quarterfinals at Williams Arena.
The Indians struggled the entire game against the much taller and very aggressive MIB squad. SE shot just 25% in the contest, even when they got good looks (which wasn’t often) they would misfire on the shot.
The Rangers made a pair of steals then forced the Indians to turn the ball over allowing them to build a 11-0 lead just 2:20 into the game. Jessica Busch finally was able to get the Indians on the board at the 15:00 mark.
SE trailed 20-7 with just under eleven minutes to go. The Indians cut their deficit to 25-17 at the half, courtesy of four free throws and a trey by Carissa Hillmer.
MIB hit a three pointer fifteen seconds into the second half. Their lead was back to 13 less than a minute into the half. The closest things would get again was nine points at 36-27 when McKayla Ahlrich grabbed an offensive rebound and banked it in. It was all MIB the rest of the way.
“We got some good looks, we just couldn’t finish,” said coach Ryan Hulke. “I think we were a little star struck by the atmosphere early and that put us in a hole. MIB averages 64 points offensively and we held them to 50, so I can’t fault our effort on the defensive end.”
“This experience is something these girls will never forget. From the banquet Wednesday night, to arriving on campus Thursday morning, the looks and expressions on the girl’s faces is something I personally will never forget,” added Hulke.
“It’s such a huge momentum builder for the program. I have heard from so many young kids and players now that their goal is to play at Williams Arena someday because they got to see their role models do the same and realize it is possible for Sleepy Eye to play in the State Tournament. I have already had phone calls about a couple girls joining select AAU teams from the area, and everyone is already talking about how they are going to make themselves better this offseason. I couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come!” said Hulke.
“Unfortunately we lose a group of seniors that can’t be replaced. Three out of five have been playing varsity for four or more years, and that experience and leadership is going to be terribly missed.” explained Hulke. “I came in that first week and made some changes from day one, and at first they may not have seen the big picture, but as the season went on they really started to understand why I made them and accepted it’s better for the team. I could talk about these five girls forever, but the bottom line is they will be missed on and off the court.”
The Indians finish the year with a 19-11 mark

The Sleepy Eye’s girls basketball storybook season continued Friday night when they pulled off their fourth consecutive upset to earn the right to play in the Minnesota State High School Girls State Basketball Tournament.
The experts say it’s tough to beat the same team three times in the same season, the #7 seeded Sleepy Eye team threw that myth right out the window. The local girls also created havoc with the section seeding by beating Section 2A South champ and #2 seeded Springfield 53-48 to win the Section 2A Championship and send an Indians girls team to the state for the first time.
Sleepy Eye entered the championship game not only playing their best ball of the season but also playing with a great deal of confidence after knocking off #2 MVL, #3 New Cathedral and #1 BLHS. Their composure showed from the tip off.
The Tigers scored the first point of the game but the Indians worked the ball well to take a 19-13 advantage by the midway point of the first half. Springfield made a run, as SE knew they would, tying the game at 19-19 with 5:14 to go. The local girls got a cold hand the rest of the way but still managed to maintain a 25-24 lead at the intermission.
Sleepy Eye slowed the pace down a bit in the second half and got great looks early but couldn’t get the ball to fall. The Tigers took their first lead since early on, 28-27, when they scored a bucket with 13:43 on the clock. That woke the Indians up. They went on a 6-0 run to go up 33-28. That lead would increase to 40-33 at the seven minute mark.
Sleepy Eye’s offense pulled the ball back at the six minute mark and patiently waited for a good shot. The Tigers took advantage of a pair of missed free throws and a charge call on Carissa Hillmer with 3:39 to go after she made a basket. Her points were erased. Springfield went down and hit a pair of free throw to go up 41-40.
Indian teams of the past would have folded, not this team. Justine Gonzalez sank two free throws at the 3:22 mark. Ten second later Jessica Busch made a steal and was fouled. Busch canned both her shots. SE 44, Springfield 41.
Another Busch steal and two more free throws, 46-41.
Springfield pulled to within three at 46-43 but again the determined Indians took charge. Gonzalez sank a shot from within the paint. Then Carissa Hillmer hit 5-8 in the final minute from the charity stripe to secure the contest.
“We were definitely prepared for what Springfield was going to do defensively,” said coach Ryan Hulke. “The nice thing about the way our schedule was set up this year, was Springfield played every team we played the game before us. So if I was going to scout an opponent it was always against Springfield.”
“They have played a triangle and two very successfully for the last month, so I was about 85% sure we were going to see it early in the game,” explained Hulke. “Luckily we are not a team with just one or two scores. Jessica Busch and Justine Gonzalez put a quick end to the triangle and two by hitting shots when left open.”
“Defensively we were pretty good once again,” added Hulke. “To hold a team like Springfield to less than 50 points is really tough; they run about three different motion offenses, 7 sets, and 6 out of bounce plays. We were prepared for most of them and how we were going to cover them and the girls made minimal mistakes while defending those sets.
“This has been our biggest benefit throughout the playoffs,” concluded Hulke. ” The girls have been at every practice mentally and they are seeing the advantage of knowing the other teams’ offenses and defenses.”
The Indians record stands at 19-10 and they will now face off against Mountain Iron-Buhl (29-1) in the quarterfinal round. Game time is 11 a.m. at Williams Arena on the campus of the University of Minnesota.

The Sleepy Eye girls basketball Cinderella story continued Monday night with a come-from-behind, 60-56, win over number one seeded BLHS to win the Section 2A North championship and the right to play for a section title.
The #7 seeded Indians have been on a roll of late, first knocking off #2 MVL on a last second shot. They followed that up with a thumping of the #3 seed New Cathedral. And now the #1 seed Mustangs are sent packing despite holding a 10-point leads in both halves of the game.
SE got off to a good start, jumping to a 20-10 lead at the 6:33 mark of the first half. BLHS then went on a 17-1 run to close out the half.
“We got out to an aggressive start but then had multiple mental mistakes,” said coach Ryan Hulke
“At our practice Saturday we talked about not taking quick shots, and how BLHS was going to gamble on reversal passes and in our last seven minutes we completely forgot about those keys and let them back in the game,” explained Hulke. “Lucky we had a 10-point lead so that we went in (at halftime) only down six (27-21).
Sleepy Eye got the first basket of the second half but the Mustangs continued to dominate with their inside game, building another 10-point lead.
“We talked at halftime about trapping their ball screens to make (Jessica) Kalenberg get rid of the ball. Well we trapped but got no help on the roll for the first 10 minutes of the second half, and we were still down 10,” explained Hulke.
The Indians finally got things cranking.
“We continued to trap the ball screen but we finally got help from our other girls and that took BLH out of anything they tried to do,” said Hulke. “And then Sydney Remus and Claire Krumbach took over.
Remus hit back to back threes. Krumbach rolled in a pair of shots. Remus hit another off the inbounds pass.
Justine Gonzalez tied up the game at the 5:22 mark. BLHS would hit a shot to tie it back up with 5:08. That would be the last time the Mustangs played with a lead.
Krumbach grabbed an offensive board and put it in, 49-49. Remus made a steal and laid it in, 51-49.
With more than three minutes to play Hulke made the decision to pull the ball out and force the Mustangs to foul. Carissa Hillmer hit one of two. Remus added two more from the charity stripe. The score stood 54-49 with 1:23 to go.
BLHS hit a quick shot, 54-51, and called time out.
Krumbach was quickly fouled. She made one of two. The Indians led 55-51.
Hillmer and Krumbach closed things out from the free throw line, 60-52.
The Mustangs sank a shot at the buzzer to make the final 60-54.
“This group has battled for five straight games and refuses to lose right now,” said Hulke. “This is such a great experience for these girls, and I have been telling them every day to soak it all in because it could be a once and a lifetime experience.”
The Indians move their record to 18-10 and will now face Springfield for the Section 2A championship which will be played Friday at Gustavus College in St. Peter.
The Sleepy Eye girls basketball team pulled off a miracle Tuesday night to beat MVL 50-48 in the opening round of the Section 2A tournament.
The contest was close throughout with neither team leading by more than six points at any time. Down the stretch the Indians committed three consecutive free throws to allowed the Chargers to go up 46-42.
Sydney Remus pulled off a steal, laid the ball in and was fouled. With the free throw the scored stood 46-45. With 45 second to play Remus then canned a three pointer to give SE a two-point advantage. MVL tied things up with a pair from the charity stripe with 33 second to play.
The Indians wanted to go for the last shot but got a bit anxious and fired much too early. It was off target. Now it was the Chargers who wound the clock, hoping for a last second win. Carissa Hillmer put that thought to rest when she made a steal with 3.3 seconds to play. Sleepy Eye set up a play on their end of the court but the ball went off Remus’s hands into an MVL players paws. Instead of hanging onto the ball, she attempted to make a pass to a teammate. Instead the ball went right into the hands of Jessica Busch who was standing in the paint just inside the free throw line. Busch immediately got a shot off, the buzzer sounded as the ball swished.
“Obviously we got a little lucky on the last play. But the girls deserve so much credit for battling all night,” said an excited Ryan Hulke. “I really thought it was over when we went down four with 2:30 to play and just gave them the ball after another turnover. But then our seniors stepped up big time recording 3 steals in MVL’s last four possessions.”
“I could talk about each girl and the great things all of them did Tuesday to earn that victory,” said Hulke, “but I really comes down to our seniors taking pride and earning earning that win. ”
“Finally this group of seniors gets out of the first round of playoffs. This was such a huge win for them, it really means so much to beat a team we lost to twice, but yet competed with twice until the end,” continued Hulke. “They knew they could win this game, and they battled all night to earn it.”
“Now Friday- it’s a complete opposite of Tuesday. New Ulm runs a flex offense with only a couple sets, and minimal out of bounce plays. They have some personal tendencies we have noticed on film, but nothing like MVL. Tuesday we wanted to slow the game down, but Friday we need to make it a 94 foot game. New Ulm is so long and athletic that we need to make sure we rebound, use our speed, and not give them easy opportunities with turnovers,” said Hulke about their upcoming battle Friday night at New Ulm Cathedral. “The girls have never played in a game like this before. It’s going to be so loud in that little gym, communication will be a problem. We had a great fan base Tuesday and it’s only going to grow Friday night so we need to make sure we are communicating with another with set calls and match ups.”
