Bring on Providence Academy!

Providence Academy, a Roman Catholic college-preparatory school located in Plymouth, MN, was founded in 2001.  Their 9th-12th enrollment as of two years ago was 248.  My guess is that it's quite a bit larger than that this year, as they undoubtedly will soon be a Class AAA basketball school in the near future.

The Providence Academy Lions girls basketball team holds a 26-5 record, heading into today's third place game of the state tournament.  They lost last night 59-50 to Braham, who took second place last year in the tournament after losing to Minnehaha Academy in the championship tilt.

The Lions are the Section 5AA champion, having defeated Eden Valley-Watkins 35-19 to advance to their first-ever state tournament.  They are a young team - only three seniors on the roster.  Make no mistake about it, though, they will be tough as nails.  It should be a great game.

GO STREETERS!  Bring home that third place trophy and a win to cap your spectacular season!
