Mainstreeter basketball teams split vs. Melrose Area

In a home contest tonight, the Mainstreeter girls' basketball team won a West Central North Conference match up with Melrose Area 54-42. They've now won 10 of their last 11 games and take a 15-3 overall record to New London-Spicer this Friday night. The game is HUGE, as a win would lift them into a first-place tie in the WCCN with the Wildcats. A loss puts them two games back and dims their hopes for a three-peat as champions of the conference.

At Melrose, the Mainstreeter boys' basketball team played a hard-fought game but lost 61-52 to the conference-leading Dutchmen. Now 9-7 overall (3-3 WCCN), they host St. Cloud Cathedral on Thursday night. The Crusaders are 12-3 overall (7-1 Granite Ridge Conference) and one of the favorites in Section 5AA.
