Noted Fergus Falls basketball historian Dean Nielsen has come up with some facts and figures regarding where the 2021-22 Otter girls’ basketball team ranks in several statistical areas. The Otters completed a 26-6 season with a runner-up finish in the Class AA State Tournament on Saturday when they lost to Providence Academy 55-53 in the championship game at Williams Arena.
Here are Nielsen’s findings:
The second place finish is the highest finish ever for an Otter girls’ basketball team. Their previous best finish was 3rd place, in both the 2011-12 and 2013-14 seasons.
The 2,152 points scored this season eclipsed the previous record of 2,121 which was established in the 2013-14 season.
Their 67.25 points per game is the second highest scoring average in team history, behind only the 2012-13 team (68.20ppg).
The 16.63 points per game margin of victory is the seventh best in team history.
The 16 made 3-point baskets against Warroad is a single game record.
The 26 wins sits behind only the 2011-12 (30-2), 2012-13 (29-1) and 2013-14 (30-2) teams.
The team field goal percentage was in the mid 40% range, one of the best ever, with the team free throw percentage likely a record around 73 to 74%.
