Teams in the 2009 Cloquet Wood City Basketball Tournament included St. Paul Humboldt's boys AND girls teams, East Central girls, Ashland girls, Duluth Central Boys, Blake School boys, and of course both the Cloquet Lumberjack boys and girls teams. This page is pictures from the first day of action.

A few players stood out from the rest.. including The Blake School's Kebu Johnson, who is only a freshman but plays much bigger than that.

Also St. Paul Humboldt (Section 1A St. Paul city-league team) sisters Angelina (Junior) and Annessa (senior) Hicks, who've played in the tournament together before have picked up their games each time they come to the Wood City Tournament.

The Lumberjacks 9th/C team, the JV team, and Varsity all defeated their Proctor Rails counterparts on Friday, December 18. RaRa Jones got the varsity off to a huge lead in the first half and they never looked back, winning by 54 points. I shot one half each of 9th grade and JV, and then the entire varsity game.
