Boys Sports Summary By: Sam Bauer The boys basketball team played the Hancock Owls a week ago. They were defeated with a score of 58-67. They also had a game on Tuesday against the Hillcrest Rockets. The boys team had a rough game. The Hillcrest Rockets have one of the best coaches in Minnesota. They play very good team defense. All number 21, from the Hillcrest team, did was cherry pick and get all easy points. The CGB boys have a game tomorrow against CTF at home. The Border West Buccaneers had a wrestling tournament in Wahpeton. They had a good first tournament. They had a match Tuesday in Lac Qui Parle. They lost both matches against KMS and Lac Qui Parle. The MBA Storm hockey team is currently 1-5 but they feel they are on an up- swing. Kyle Lampert is an unstoppable goalie nobody can score on him because he is lights out.
