Reminder that the Girls' JV game tonight against Browerville will only be one half starting at 5:45pm. Varsity warm ups will begin directly after the conclusion of that half, therefore the Varsity game may start a bit earlier than normal. The Boys' V/JV/C games will be in Brooten tonight against BBE. Go Cardinals!

Thanks to the refs, bench buddies, and great fan section for helping us pull off the win against Staples-Motley, 63-43! #ThankARef #learn487
