Big Nine

Minneapolis DeLaSalle won its sixth straight state boys basketball Class AAA title, beating Austin for the third time in that span 72-44 Saturday.

The Owatonna wrestlers wrapped up the outright Big Nine title Thursday night with a 40-19 victory over Faribault at the OHS gym.

With two games to go on the season, the Owatonna High School girls hockey team remains in the race for a Big Nine title. Just how close, however, is a little uncertain.

With their triangular sweep on Thursday at Mankato, the Owatonna wrestlers improved to 9-0 in conference action to secure a Big Nine title. It's their 23rd overall crown.

Owatonna senior Jacob Johnson repeated as Big Nine champ in both hurdle events, setting a conference mark in the 110 race, and OHS won the boys' title Friday in Faribault.
