Alexandria Aces will entertain in Twin Cities

Tom reminds us: If you are in the Twin Cities area and are also Gopher fans, the Alexandria Aces will be performing at the Gopher women's game (Michigan) on Feb. 5 and at the Gopher men's game (Michigan State) on February 11.

The Aces have been performing for several years. They are 4th, 5th & 6th graders who perform Harlem Globetrotter-like routines, and they go all over the country - to high school, college, and pro events - and have been on national television. They are actually quite amazing, considering it's pretty much a new cast every year.

This year's Aces members include sixth graders Ty Kisthart, Darian Bowman, Kali Peschle, John Vinge, fifth graders Brynn Novotny, Rachel Peterson, Jessica Larson, Jessica Syvrud, Danielle Strater, Madeline Gorghuber, Natalie Hole, Elizabeth Ellens, James Homquist, fourth graders Chase Kohler, Brandon Bistodeau, Manford Foster, Blake Stockert and first grader Toby Novotny.
The Aces are coached by Larry Novotny and Kevin Gorghuber, and assisted by Bryan Andrews, Matt Peterson and David Vinje.
