Each team that won a championship at the Minnesota boys state basketball tournament has done so before. It was my pleasure to assist KDHL in the coverage.
No. 3 seed Goodhue pulled away for a 54-29 win over Lake Park-Audubon in the state Class AA quarterfinals at Williams Arena at the University of Minnesota.
Big Nine Conference co-champion Red Wing made more than half of their shots from the floor and sank nearly every free throw while beating Simley 73-51 in the AAA quarterfinals.
Owatonna finished the boys basketball season with a 14-12 record, which is only good enough for a sixth seed and road game at Lakeville South in the 1AAAA quarterfinals.
The Blooming Prairie boys basketball team will open the Section 1A, West Subsection playoffs with a home game on Tuesday against Christian Life Academy at 7PM.
All four Owatonna High School varsity games Tuesday can be found on the radio. It starts with the girls hockey team facing JM in Rochester at 5:30PM on KRFO AM 1390.
