With temps reaching the low 50s, warm sun, and slight breezes, the heavy snow pack started receding, jackets were discarded, and the sounds of kids playing, motorcycles rumbling, and robins chirping was a wonderful reminder that spring officially begins Thursday.

gbb_bench.jpg

Their faces tell it all. Members of the Caledonia girls basketball team, and coaching staff looked quite concerned midway through the second half of the state quarterfinal game against Jordan Wednesday morning. The Warriors were trailing by 20 points to a very good Jordan team, and ended up losing by 13 points, 74-61. It was the second straight year the CHS girls battled their way to "The Big Dance" at Williams Arena in Minneapolis, only to be sent home with a first-round state tournament loss. For a pictorial look at the Warriors in action at "The Barn," see the slide show on this week's photos. For a complete look at the Warriors trip to state, see next week's Argus.
