Minot welcomes Class B
The State Class B Boys Basketball Tournament traditionally signals the end of the winter high school sports season and the pending arrival of spring. We’re looking forward to both the tournament and the arrival of spring this weekend. Minot is proud to be the home for Class B basketball this year, hosting both Class B state tournaments. The girls tournament held two weeks ago was a rousing success. We expect more of that when the boys tournament begins at 1 p.m. today at the Minot State University Dome, and continues through Saturday. For a preview of the boys tournament, including a look at all eight teams in the tournament, check out the special section printed inside today’s edition of The Minot Daily News. Minot is honored to host the Class B tournaments. The Dome is a great place to watch a basketball tournament, as proven by the successful girls tournament two weeks ago.
