ST. PAUL -- The fast-paced run-and-fun Red Lake Warriors never got in gear Saturday morning at Concordia University in St. Paul. Playing in the Minnesota Class A boys’ state basketball tournament third-place game, the Warriors looked sluggish all contest and dropped a 79-45 decision to Central Minnesota Christian. “I think we just didn’t come to play today,” said Red Lake head coach Roger White. “Central Minnesota Christian is a pretty good school. They took care of the ball, they rebounded, they were physical. And that’s about...
This is what you call a concise, accurate scouting report: “They’re a big, good defensive team and they move the ball really well, attack the basket, good rebounders and they get out in transition. They’re a really good team.” Those are the words of Red Lake boys basketball coach Roger White talking about Minneapolis North. Those two teams won quarterfinal Class 1A state tournament games Thursday at Williams Arena, albeit in varying manners, and will meet in Friday’s semifinals at Target Center. North, which is the top seed, cruised...
Red Lake junior guard Rob McClain hit a free throw with 3:33 to play in the Warriors’ Class A boys state basketball tournament semifinal game against No. 1 seed Minneapolis North on Friday afternoon at Target Center. The shot only cut Red Lake’s deficit to 74-56, but after he hit the free throw, coach Roger White called timeout and the Warriors’ fans delivered a standing ovation. Part of the reason for the celebration despite the deficit was that free throw marked McClain’s 1,000th career point. The other reason? “(Everybody) was...

(KMSP) - Anytime the Red Lake High School boys’ basketball team takes the court, they're representing their entire reservation in northern Minnesota. It’s a similar story this season as the team is back in the state tournament for the third year in a row, but this year the Ogichidaag are playing for one person in particular and a memory that will never be forgotten. 15-year-old Aaron White, the coach’s son and player on the team, passed away from cancer at the start of the season in November. The loss for his teammates is unimaginable,...

After exiting in the first round the past two seasons, the Warriors will have to rely on their defense to make a run in this year’s tournament. But they believe anything is possible, especially with their guardian angel Aaron watching over....

RED LAKE -- This season hasn’t always been easy for Roger White. The Red Lake head boys basketball coach lost his 15-year-old son, Aaron, to cancer on Nov. 1 -- just before the basketball season was set to start. Although the Warriors were coming into the 2015-16 season as the two-time defending Section 8A champions, he understandably had other things on his mind. He wasn’t sure what the season would bring. “I didn’t know what to expect,” White said. “We graduated seven seniors last year, and things were hard for me personally....
