WRESTLINGAlexandria 27 St. Cloud Tech/Apollo 43
The Alexandria Wrestling team had their home opener against St. Cloud Tech/Apollo last night falling 27-43. This was our "Parents Night" event and we had a packed house. A special thank you to everyone that came out to support the team this was really an electric event. The varsity followed a fantastic JV performance that came down to the last match. Mason Teaser sealed the JV dual meet pinning his opponent in a tight cradle to steal the JV victory. The varsity boys carried that momentum in their matches battling from the get-go. We had a few matches where we had great starts scoring the first takedown, but the opponents were able to turn the tables and recover. We also spotted them 12 team points in forfeits on the night due to not having a wrestler at 2 weight classes. Picking up wins for the Cards on the night were: Blaze Nelson decision at 113, Ryan Borris by pin at 120, AJ Sparr by pin at 126, Tyler Kleindl by pin at 152, and Trappier Botz by pin at 160. We are excited to get back on the mat Saturday when we travel to Howard Lake for an their invitational. Go Cards!

Alexandria 52 Brainerd 44
The girls JV Basketball team traveled to Brainerd Thursday night to take on the Warriors. Alexandria's JV did a great job hounding the Warriors defensively forcing Brainerd to never really settle in offensively. Alayna Strand, Myah Kremer, Cate Bloom, and several other Cardinals pounced on many steals and ran the floor well in transition. At the half the Cardinals would lead 32-13. The 2nd half was a different tale as Brainerd was able to hit a lot of the shots they threw up. The Warriors would also throw a zone at Alexandria which gave the Cardinals troubles. Brainerd would close the gap but a couple big threes by Lexi Berger and Sadie Boraas would hold and extend the lead for the Cards. In the end Alexandria would hold off Brainerd for a 52-44 victory. The win puts the JV at 12-1 on the year. Alexandria looks forward to hosting Willmar Tuesday night at home.
