Very snowy Sno-Bowl lives up to its name

There was enough snow for this year's Sno-Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 29, at Memorial Park in New Prague as more than a foot of snow covered the ground during the 48th annual football game between the Polars and the Ptarmigans, which ended in a 6-6 tie.

It was the second consecutive year that the game played by teams of New Prague High School alumni ended in a 6-6 tie.

However, the weather for this year's game was far different than last year's game, which was played on frozen ground with very little snow and temperatures were in the high 30s.
