Madi Greenwaldt, Streeters turn back MACA

Thursday prep hoops had the MACA girls on the short end. Fans at the Morris Area gym saw the Streeters of Sauk Centre get the upper hand in this West Central Conference basketball.

Sauk Centre is quite the high-powered unit. They have rolled over conference opponents. In overall won-lost they're a sizzling 19-1. For the record, the only blemish was at the hands of New London-Spicer.
Hoops action is intense this time of year. It's exhilarating. Wait 'til the tournament!
