Saturday's playoff action (Boys'BBall game at 2 p.m.; wrestlers go at 10 a.m.)

Please pass the word that the boys' basketball playoff game starts at 2 p.m. tomorrow. The high school league had passed around a different time than the Section 5A administrators...so there has been some confusion on that end. The GOOD news is, we know that it is at 2 p.m.! So please pass the word.

I will also find the wrestling schedule for tomorrow and get that posted here. ***I'll get that wrestling information up much later tonight. I am heading to Brooten Lanes to de-compress! It has been a day. I am tired of so much of the nonsense from the state. It is wearing on me.

*UPDATE: the wrestling action for state preliminaries starts tomorrow at 10 a.m. at Long Prairie. I will have more info tonight, including the list of Jaguars who have qualified.

Girls' basketball updates, etc. from tonight will be posted in a new blog post.

*Click here to view a web article from action held on Saturday, March 13 at West Central Area high school (short link) https://bit.ly/2OIimJt. An extended version of that web article was published in the March 18 issue of the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper. You can watch a video clip from the BH/PP/Verndale match in that web article.
