Another Successful week

It was another successful week for sports and sports coverage this week in Bottineau.

Thursday night was the big inter-District battle between Bottineau and Westhope-Newburg in boy's basketball. Bottineau came out on top.

Saturday marked BHS hockey's ninth consecutive victory as they beat Bismarck High 3-2.

I took some good pictures for all of them and had a good time doing it. Back to work again this week. I also made the mistake today of looking forward to what is coming in February. It looks like it might be a train wreck and a headache.

Here are my pics for this week:
