The high school spring sports season began Thursday for a number of local teams, though postponements still outnumbered the events that got in. Owatonna's boys' tennis team won their season opener at Mankato West 5-2. The Huskies have had three meets delayed. The Tigers' softball team topped JWP 9-8 in Janesville, where they have an artificial turf. The game had been scheduled for Medford.

Owatonna baseball and softball games were postponed Thursday, along with the girls lacrosse game and boys' and girls' golf tournaments. The Huskies' baseball game at New Ulm Friday, April 13 in canceled and won't be made up, however coach Tate Cummins says the team will play Rochester Mayo in a doubleheader in an attempt to fill out a full schedule. He is hopeful the season will open next week.

For Saturday, April 14, the OHS boys' lacrosse season opener versus Farmington is moved to Farmington, where they have artificial turf. The varsity game is scheduled for 12:30PM. The Owatonna girls hope to play at Tartan Saturday at 12:30PM after their opener against Lakeville South Thursday was nixed. Travel to those games could get tricky Saturday if the forecast holds.
