Minnesota: Rosemount Irish Girls Basketball Claims First State Title in Thrilling Comeback

No. 2 Rosemount stunned top-seeded Hopkins 63-62 in the MSHSL Class 4A state final on March 14, 2026, at Williams Arena with clutch plays in the closing minute for the biggest victory in program history. Amisha Ramlall led with 20 points and eight assists as the Irish mounted a second-half rally; the game stayed tense until a defensive stop and block on a potential game-tying three-pointer with three seconds left sealed the win. Players rushed the court in green-clad celebration while the crowd roared.

Underdog achievement:

The Irish survived late drama and delivered their first state championship; players called it “the best feeling you could ever ask for,” praising the best fans and teammates in the nation after finishing runner-up in 2021.
