MINNESOTA REPORTS

It snowed for the first time yesterday in the Twin Cities Metro area and the weather people just freaked. It was an ordinary snow, but when weather people freak school officials freak and there were postponements and cancellations that probably didn't need to happen. That is what caught St. Paul Johnson in the vortex. St. Paul cancelled all after school activities hence they couldn't get to Woodbury, while Armstrong, in Plymouth could. Weather people need to relax sometimes. The traffic last night wasn't bad when I went to DeLaSalle. You just had to allow for more time and more distance between cars. Not an issue.

AAAA & AAA

I provided you last night with some of the details of those games. Hopkins broke out with a 91 29 thumping of Henry Sibley. Last year HS won on a forfeit due to a Hopkins player being used too often that day between JV & Varsity.

AA

#3 Albany continued to roll as they zipped by Long Prairie-Grey Eagle 88-50. plus other recaps in the St. Cloud Times.

West Central defeated Pelican Rapids 54-35. plus other area recaps from the Fergus Falls Daily Journal.

East Grand Forks broke open a tight half time contest to a rout in a 62-44 win over cross river rival Grand Forks Central. From the GF Herald.

IDs NEEDED
Minneapolis is requiring an ID to get into some of their games now.

From the StarTribune and Detroit News.
