Basketball ****GIRLS STATE TOURNAMENT BRACKET****

C1-D2 Takeaways for me…

-Shelton should walk to the finals. Beat Silver Lake twice this season and Wil-Hil once.
-St. Mary’s or Archangels vs FCSH will be a dandy.
-H-D got Pender once this year, can they do it again?
-GACC can’t be taken lightly as an 8 seed.
-Crofton vs O-C in the semis? That’ll be a great game.
-Milford vs Arlington winner will be great because neither have had many state tournament appearances. Milford has never won a first round game. Arlo once in their 2000 state championship run.
-Scotus defense is so tough, will be intrigued to see them again Minden.
Love scotus pack line defense
Pender rolls Howells this time
Gacc got a great draw

Hampton and Henderson exploring co-op

There is history behind it.

As noted by USA Today, the Sugarbeeters were a natural choice for Chinook because of the town’s long history with sugarbeets. Chinook is one of the main producers of sugarbeets in the upper plains and the local high school wanted to pay homage to the crop that helps the student population survive comfortably.

Still, school officials realized quickly that sugarbeets aren’t the most fear-inspiring vegetable (perhaps that’s a redundancy? Are there fear-inspiring vegetables?), so it gradually introduced changes to the mascot’s appearance to make it more fierce.
