By Aaron Holm -
Unfortunately for yours truly I was commissioned to help move a bunch of heavy stuff from a truck into a home, which is about the worst thing on this planet one has to do. On the bright side, the Eastview High School girls basketball team won the State Championship last night, beating the only team that has beat them all year in Bloomington Kennedy. I know what your thinking, "Why do you care about basketball Noogs?" Well, my Niece is on the team, so it was a pretty big deal for my family yesterday. Congratulations Ilea, and to all the girls from my alma mater Eastview on the title.
Tonight the Wild get test the Detroit Red Wings again, this time in the motor city. Perhaps a little road cooking can help this team get a couple important points?
