Wrestling playoff updates

Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City takes a 17-7 record into the upcoming Class 1A state wrestling tournament that will be held on Thursday, February 26 in St. Paul.

Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg, a four seed in Section 3A, blasted fifth-seeded Canby (16-12) in a 45-12 quarterfinal win before falling to top-seeded Minneota 45-13 in the section semifinals to finish 17-6 overall. The Vikings (32-2) then survived a stiff challenge from second-seeded Adrian Area (24-8) and won 32-24 in the section championship held yesterday in Redwood Falls.

Switching gears: have you made plans yet and formed a car pool and asked everyone in your neighborhood to come to Tuesday night's girls' basketball game against Eden Valley-Watkins? If not, do it!!! Let's pack the high school gymnasium!!! I want to see the stands full wall-to-wall and have a couple dozen folks standing at the corners to boot!!! Imagine the boost it would give our Jaguars!!!!!

Did you know? B-B-E is one of eight area schools who broadcast home athletic contests online via The Cube. Read more about it in next week's Bonanza Valley Voice.

On a completely different note, I'd like to share this column written by the publisher of the Morris Sun Tribune newspaper. I have known Sue for close to 20 years and found this to be a very good piece!!
