As Snow Melts, Prep Teams See Schedule Changes

Last week's snowstorm might turn out to be just a blip on the radar of the high school spring sports schedule as a number of teams appear set to get their games in on Monday, April 15. But there are several location changes due to field conditions along with at least a couple of postponements.

Owatonna's boys' lacrosse opener at Northfield will get rescheduled to another date due to field conditions. However, it looks like the OHS girls will get their opener in as scheduled against the Raiders at the Owatonna High School field at 7:15 pm Monday. OwatonnaLive.com will carry the game. Triton softball against Goodhue is postponed.

Now on to the changes. The Medford versus NRHEG softball game in New Richland has been moved to Janesville where they have an artificial field. Game time is 5 pm. Tigers-Panthers baseball that was scheduled for Medford Monday is now set for Legion Field in New Richland. Game time is 4:30 pm. The Blooming Prairie at WEM baseball game is rescheduled to be played in Blooming Prairie.

Triton baseball is at Zumbrota-Mazeppa and WEM softball plays at Blooming Prairie Monday as the original schedule showed. OHS boys' tennis plays a makeup match at Winona Monday afternoon.

On Sunday, Owatonna baseball tweeted a picture that Fuller Field at Dartt's Park was looking for their game against Mankato West Tuesday at 5 pm. Coach Tate Cummins sounded a little doubtful on the coaches show report on KRFO radio Saturday, but some strong sunshine helped get the field in playing shape.

OHS softball plays at Mankato West Tuesday at 5 pm with coverage on Kat Kountry 105FM and on the Kat Kountry app. Huskies' boys' lacrosse will be at Apple Valley at 7 pm for their first game, while the girls go to Lakeville South at 5:30 pm.

Owatonna girls golf is scheduled to host Mankato East Tuesday at the Owatonna Country Club. The start time got pushed back to 3:30 pm. The OHS boys golfers go to Mankato. The Owatonna boys track team hosts a meet Tuesday while the girls go to Red Wing.
