Season-opening win

For the second year in a row, the Sauk Centre boys' basketball team defeated Upsala in the season opener. Last night at Upsala, the Mainstreeters beat the Cardinals 59-54. Matthew Moritz led Sauk Centre with 11 points, while Austin Nelson was also in double figures with 10 points.

Up next is a trip to Morris next Tuesday (Nov. 25) to face the Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta Tigers in the West Central North Conference opener.

The Mainstreeters return a solid nucleus of talent from last year's 18-8, sub-section runner-up squad.
