high school sports

Sunday I was playing catch with my son while wearing a t-shirt. Prep sports fans will need a winter jacket and a blanket this week to watch the start of the spring sports season.

The Minnesota high school basketball all-star games are coming up in early April. The roster was just released for the all-star football game to be held in June.

Southern Minnesota set some new milestones for future teams to strive for. Here are 10 notable performances.

Being a sports official can be a rewarding, but tough, job. The Minnesota State High School League is encouraging its member schools to offer a word of appreciation to them.

Monday was the start of prep baseball and golf practice across Minnesota. Players, coaches, and fans are hoping temperatures are also in the mid-60s when it's time to play.

If there's someone who knows more about Minnesota high school boys basketball than Ryan James, I'd like to meet them.

Area gyms were filled with basketball fans for some great late-season match-ups. Section 1AA gymnastics went to Northfield for the seventh straight season.

Twelve area wrestling teams won their Section 1 quarterfinals to advance to Saturday's semifinals at Mayo Civic Center in Rochester. Basketball and hockey scores, too.

Owatonna basketball split with Northfield on Tuesday. OHS boys hockey won its home finale. Blooming Prairie's John Rumpza surpassed 2,000 career points in a victory.

The Huskies open at home Thursday versus Mayo, then will have to battle a pair of ranked teams. NRHEG starts at home, while Blooming Prairie, Medford and Triton all open on the road.
