Basketball

Happy Leap Year Day! Today is a bright and sunny day after yesterday's snow.

The North Dakota State B girls basketball tournament currently is being held in Minot. I figured something was up when I saw a quite a number of cars on the main road through town. Normally there is little traffic on the roads. Over the past few days there have been dozens and dozen of cars at the stoplights waiting for the lights to turn green. "Rush hour" in a town that doesn't have one.

Class B means the smaller schools in the state. This means the people in those towns know everyone in their schools. The parents and towns really support their teams and many come to attend the games to cheer their teams on. I see lots of school and charter buses out and around, and some cars with words of support written on their windows.

Go team!
