IBCA Blue played KC Lady Pioneers in the Battle of the Plains in Lincoln. The game was competitive for the first half as the contest went back and forth. The game was tied at half time, but KC Lady Pioneers came out shooting threes, must have hit 7 in the 2nd half. The Blues had a dry spell in scoring and was lost 65-40. The KC Lady Pioneers went on the the championship game to win the title in the high school division.

FALL LEAGUE
The Breakdown Fall League will now be at Bloomington Kennedy instead of Lakeville South. Due to the amount of teams that will be participating and interest level, we need to have the 8 wood courts. Becker is remaining the same. Interested teams should contact us right away if they are planning to participate. 9th, SO/JV, and Varsity divisions.

Also, we will be running a 7th and 8th Grade Fall League in STMA HS and Middle School. This is also at the request of many organizations. Both League will be sponsored by the Minnesota T-Wolves and Lynx.
