Good luck to all area teams today

]]> Angela Gaffney, Michelle Lund, and Steven McKinley represent the Grantsburg Pirates at the state cross country tournament held today at Wisconsin Rapids.

Angela (Jr.) finished 33rd last year and Michelle Lund (Sr.) finished 61st. Steven McKinley (Sr.) finished 65th last year.

Also congratulations to the Webster boys (ranked 6th) and Frederic girls (ranked 13th) cross country teams as they both qualified as teams. Webster won state last year.

The Webster Tigers (ranked 8th in the state) take on Glenwood City (ranked 12th) this afternoon in the second game of the WIAA state playoffs. Webster beat the Northwood/Solon Springs Evergreens 42-0 on Tuesday to advance to this game today. Good luck, Tigers!

The Frederic Vikings play Shell Lake (ranked 7th in D7) in second round football action as well. The Vikings, though seeded lower than the Lakers, are hosting the game.

Finally, the Grantsburg volleyball team is traveling to Clear Lake to try and defend their sectional championship and make it back to the Resch Center in Green Bay for the second year in a row. The Pirates take on Melrose-Mindoro for that right.

Grantsburg is ranked number one in the state, Melrose-Mindoro was unranked and had a number two seed in the tournament (Mondovi was the number one seed).

You can listen to the broadcast of the volleyball match on 105.7 WXCX starting at 7pm. Go Pirates!!!

Cross-country all-conference

]]> Cross country is a sport that I admittedly don’t get. Don’t mistake that for disrespecting, heck my wife was a  great CC’er in high school and college. Her favorite poster was one that said, “Cross country runners get to enjoy four years of high school, football players get five.”

I suppose cross country would be about the most enduring sport in the sense that it must be considered one of the first. Of course back in the day people would run to catch stuff or to not be caught. Now they run around on a golf course or through the woods to beat one another.

We Are Grantsburg would like to congratulate all-conference runners from Grantsburg.

Girls:

Michelle Lund
Angela Gaffney
Jessica Banks
Aimee Vantatenhove

Boys:

Steven McKinley
Matt Emerson

Congratulations!
