Playoff time is near
By Chuck Kajer
It’s only late January, but March Madness is not that far away.
In Minnesota high school sports, March Madness begins a couple weeks early, with the first tournaments of the season. This year, that’s the state high school girls hockey tournament February 23-25 and the state gymnastics meet, held the same weekend.
And like the past two years, New Prague has teams that stand a good chance to qualify for the state tournament in both of those sports.
