I want to wish our Northern Lights Wrestling Program the best of luck as they travel to the state tournament in Fargo this week. Many thanks to our boys' coaches Arren St. Vincent, Ryan Micthell, and Braden Henderson, and the girls' coaches Mary Peltier and Kenny Koistinen. You all do not get enough credit for the hours, care, and diligence you put toward grooming and training these young athletes. I can't thank you enough!
Wrestle hard and win/lose with class! Learn from each experience and leave it all on the mat! GO NORTHERN LIGHTS!

The District 3 GBB Tournament in Park River will have some changes made for Friday. Due to the furthest west teams playing the late games and to help with travel and uncertainty in weather, the evening bracket will swap places with the afternoon bracket. This means St. John will now play at 3:00 against North Star. Saturday's games will remain scheduled as originally planned.
Friday's New Tournament Schedule
- GAME 2 - St. John vs North Star @ 3:00PM
- GAME 3 - North Prairie vs Midway-Minto @ 25 min after Game 2 (appx 4:30PM)
- GAME 4 - Langdon Area-E-M vs DVE @ 25 min after Game 3 (appx 6:00PM)
