Cardinal boys basketball advance

Last night at Big Jeff, the third-seeded Cardinal boy basketballers opened play in the section 8-4A tournament with a 67-60 over St. Cloud Tech. The Cards displayed tremendous balance with five players scoring 15, 15, 13, 12, and 12 points. Their next game will be against 2nd-seeded St. Cloud Apollo in Sauk Rapids on Saturday night - the winner likely to play No. 1 seed Elk River next week to determine the section's representative in the state tournament.
The Cards lost twice to Apollo this year, but both games were close. The cub reporter is not sure whether he will attend the game or not - classmate Tom Kiehne arrives in town today from Texas to visit his parents through the weekend . . . so unless we can convince Dr. Kiehne to go on a road trip . . .
