PI Floor Hockey
The PI Floor Hockey team is the lone member of the winter sports teams to still be competing. The Adapted Athletic Association is unique in MN as it does not require teams to compete in a section tournament like every other sport to qualify for the State Tournament. Instead, all teams immediately qualify for the State Tournament, and the Hawks are no exception! They will be competing in the first round of the tournament This Friday at 5:00 PM at Bloomington Jefferson High School. If they win, they will play again on Saturday at Jefferson at a time that is still to be determined. Good luck to our adapted athletes as they enter post-season play!
Spring Sports
Badminton began last week and suffered a tremendous loss with Coach Aeilts stepping down as an assistant coach this season. However, Head Coach Norberg wasted no time in finding a new understudy in Jesse Day, who's badminton prowess has been described by some as the Pride of the West-Side. This year's team is young but motivated, an should be fun to watch. Good luck in week 2 Badminton!
Baseball, Softball and Track & Field begin today right after school. A major congratulations goes out to Track and Field Coaches Bryale Winters, Carlos Luna, Mario Luna and Wardell Warren for their efforts to revive the Humboldt track program. Track & Field was one of the hardest hit sports during the pandemic, and last year's team struggled to get numbers out for their season. Thanks to the proactive work of the Luna Brothers, Coach Winters and Coach Warren, the team has over 70 participants registered!! Additionally, a big thank you goes out to Damon Libertore as well for his work in recruiting athletes from OWL for the team.
Golf, Tennis and Boys Volleyball will begin a week from today (3/21/22), and we will preview their seasons in the next weekly update.
