In a social media post this morning, the Blooming Prairie Cancer Group, is getting creative and mad about its March cancer fundraiser. The group announced that during the month of March, it will utilize the popular NCAA basketball tournament to encourage donations to the group.
According to the post above, all you have to do is register or log-in to ESPN for a bracket, select who you think will win the head-to-head matchups and then the best bracket will win some money while the Blooming Prairie Cancer Group raises money. It s a win-win. How will the payouts work? According to the post on their Facebook page: The BP Cancer Group will receive 50%, first place will receive 25%, second place 15% and third will receive 10%.
Milestones Highlight Prep Results [Scores Mon Mar 8]
It was a good night to celebrate stats ending in a series of zeroes. Blooming Prairie senior Megan Oswald grabbed her 1,000th career rebound in an overtime loss to Waterville-Elysian-Morristown. Owatonna junior Evan Dushek scored his 1,000th career point in a win at Northfield. OHS sophomore Ezra Oien collected her 100th career point in a hockey victory at Austin.
Oswald s milestone rebound came on her first rebound in what turned out to be an overtime thriller between the top two teams in the Gopher Conference. WEM prevailed 60-51 in overtime in a game that was tight throughout regulation with several ties down the stretch.
Awesome Rematch: WEM at BP Monday on Kat Kountry 105
The Blooming Prairie girls basketball team goes for the season sweep of No. 9 rated Waterville-Elysian-Morristown Monday night at 7:15 pm with coverage on Kat Kountry 105 FM and the free downloadable Kat Kountry 105 app. The No. 11 ranked Awesome Blossoms edged the Buccaneers 43-42 February 12 on a basket in the closing seconds.
Blooming Prairie (14-1 overall, 11-0 Gopher Conference) is seeking their first conference title since 2014-15. WEM (12-3, 10-1) shared the league title last season with Medford. A BP win would secure no less than a share of the conference title. Each team has two regular season games remaining after Monday.
Owatonna Comeback Falls Short
After jumping out to a 3-0 lead, Northfield held on to top Owatonna 3-2 Thursday night at the Northfield Ice Arena in a non-conference boys hockey game. The teams will meet for a third time on Saturday, March 6 at Four Seasons in Owatonna at 7:30 pm. The Huskies beat the Raiders 4-3 on Dudley Otto Rink earlier this season.
Raider Carson VanZuilen scored three straight goals, midway through the first, early in the second and again midway through the second period. Owatonna went on a major power play late in the second after a hit knocked the Huskies Casey Pederson from the game.
