Boys basketball: 10-game skid ends with win vs. Prior Lake
The Tigers opened Missota Conference play last Tuesday with a good defensive effort at Shakopee, but lost their 10th in a row as the Sabers rallied late for a 52-51 victory. The team came back with an energetic effort Friday night when it scored a 73-60 home win over Prior Lake. But any momentum gained from that contest proved short-lived as Owatonna came to Tiger Gym Saturday and rolled to a 70-50 non-conference decision.

Boys basketball: Looking for answers
Farmington has been at a size disadvantage in just about every game it has played this year. That was once again the case Saturday night in Chaska.
The 10th-ranked Hawks got 23 points apiece from 6-foot-7 juniors Ross Travis and Jake White and turned a commanding 53-32 halftime advantage into a 92-71 non-conference win, their sixth win in a row. Next season the teams will square off twice as Chaska is set to join the Missota Conference starting in the fall.
