Owatonna Lacrosse Sweeps Big Nine Titles
The Owatonna High School girls lacrosse team clinching the Big Nine title Saturday, in essence repeating as conference champs after winning the title in 2019 and having no season in 2020. They also won the championship in 2018. The Huskies went 5-0 in games that counted toward the standings this spring. A recent loss to Century was a non-conference game as the Huskies won the first meeting.
The OHS boys wrapped up the league title a couple of weeks ago, going 4-0 in conference games. There is a one fewer boys team in the Big Nine as Century is together with John Marshall as a coop this season. The Huskies boys last won the title in 2018.

Longtime Steele County 4-H supporter Jim Grass was not going to miss the swine show in 2020 despite the Steele County Fair s cancelation. Grass told AM 1390 KRFO Radio in August, I haven t missed a 4-H county hog show since 1945. Grass has been a 4-H student, parent, grandparent, superintendent, and fair board member. He was named as a Friend of Steele County 4-H during Sunday s Pizza-in-a-Box Family 4-H Awards Banquet broadcast on AM 1390 KRFO.
The role of the radio station changed in 2020. Townsquare Media dedicated three days of on-air coverage to the 4-H Showcase held on the fairgrounds in place of the regular Steele County Fair. Countless 4-H students were highlighted with on-air interviews to discuss their projects and their feelings about the shift in 4-H programming for the year. Townsquare Media was also honored as a Friend of 4-H.
