Boys get much-needed win
The Minneota boys basketball team got a much-needed win over Russell-Tyler-Rurthton Friday night, 74-46. It was another big night for Logan Sussner, who scored 31 points with 16 rebounds from his post position. And it snapped a three-game losing streak to bring Minneota's record to 2-3 on the year.
Getting their 400th coaching wins were Coach Chad Johnston (left) and Dale Kockelman 9right) while Morgan Hennen scored her 1,000th career point Friday night.
Coaches win 400th; Morgan Hennen scores 1,000
It was a magical night at Canby Friday. The Vikings were rolling over Canby, 79-53 — but the fans were watching Morgan Hennen and her quest for 1,000 points — plus, hanging in the balance was the 400th career win of Coaches Chad Johnston and Dale  Kockelman.

‘Tis the season at county museum
Twenty businesses are participating in the 7th annual Indoor Christmas Tree Walk at the Lyon County Museum in Marshall. The number of participants this year is up from a dozen from a year ago in which Hill Street Place was voted the winner of the best decorated tree by visitors of the museum.

The community sings
Choir Director Mary Kay Rabaey admits she doesn’t know how long the tradition has been going, and Band Director John Voit will tell you the same thing — but if the High School Christmas Concert didn’t include the community members helping to sing, “The Hallelujah Chorus,” most people would feel something was missing.
