Two high school sports were finally able to get in there first games/meets of the season. Boys baseball hosted Luverne, and lost the encounter. The fields had to be shoveled and raked several times to allow for play last Thursday. Also the Track team was able to run in Luverne the same evening. Pictures posted by some of the parents attending looked COLD! See the articles in this week’s paper for more information and stats.
