Anderson was a member of the Grizzlies when Memphis visited Target Center for three playoff games during the 2022 Western Conference first round.Those crowds — with their intensity and deafening volumes — made an imprint in the forward’s memory.“Just off experience of playing against Minnesota last year and playing in the Target Center, I knew it was rowdy, and the fans have been great all year,” said Anderson, who is now a key player for the Wolves.Those types of atmospheres are what Anderson said make the playoffs great. He said Denver’s faithful in Games 1 and 2 were “hostile.”“They were talking smack to us. You got to love that stuff,” he said. “If you don’t, the playoffs is going to intimidate you or it won’t be a good place for you. I like playing on the road and doing your thing on another team’s home floor.”A...

Best private high schools in Missouri

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 08:54:12 GMT

Private schools, in some form, existed long before the concept of free public education in America. Students were often educated through church-sponsored programs, private tutoring, and boarding schools. Public schools on a large scale were proposed by Horace Mann in the 1830s. The concept gained momentum, and by 1870, nearly 80% of kids aged 5 to 14 were enrolled in public schools. Today, according to the most recent enrollment data, about 4.7 million students—or 10% of students enrolled in kindergarten through grade 12—are enrolled in private schools.Private schools are widely marketed as a better option when compared to public schools, and private school proponents will often point to standardized test scores to substantiate this claim.

It wasn’t until Colorado’s comeback push in the second period of Game 2 that the hits grew harsher and scrums became common. With Darren Helm back in the lineup, the Avs had a relentless skater and checker on the fourth line to contribute to the intensity. “Good jump in his game. Physical. Responsible,” coach Jared Bednar said. “All the things that we know him for. He looked like he hadn’t missed a beat for me tonight in a tough game.” Helm has had a difficult...
