Busy night in Laker sports last night. The Girls Basketball returned to the floor for the first time since February 18th after their COVID pause and kept their winning streak intact, beating Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton 43-36. Lakers have a huge matchup tomorrow night at home against Bemidji. That game will be on KDLM at 7:30.

Ella Hess tallied a hat trick last night as the Laker Girls Hockey team beat Prarie Center 7-0. The win gets the Lakers above .500 at 7-6. The Lakers have three regular-season games left: Friday @ Morris, then home games against Crookston and Thief River Falls next week.

The Laker Boys hockey team also won last night as they celebrated Senior Night at the Kent Freeman Sports Arena, beating Park Rapids Area 6-3. The Boys have won two of their last three to get back to an even 7-7 record. They have four games left: Crookston and Alexandria on the road, then Wadena-Deer Creek and Crookston at home.

The Boys Basketball team overcame a 13-point deficit to steal one from East Grand Forks in overtime last night. Christian Solberg tied the game with 1.9 seconds left, then DL outscored EGF in overtime 8-5 to win 74-71. Zack Oistad finished with 16 points and 16 rebounds. Elias Gloege finished with 11 points off the bench, including clutch free throws in overtime to help DL secure their first win since their COVID pause. The boys travel to DGF to face the Rebels tomorrow night, then have an afternoon game on Saturday against Section opponent Little Falls.
