In Too Deep

This week I chose Sum 41's 'In Too Deep" because I was deep into the spring playoff season, and thanks to the shortened season, everything began to pile up.

This past week the girls golf team, several members of the track team and Zack Monson of the boy's team all qualified for their respective state tournaments. The Westhope-Newburg-Bottineau softball team and the Bottineau and Westhope-Newburg boy's golf teams' season ended this past week. Bottineau's baseball team is still fighting for a region title after beating Rolette 15-5 last Thursday.

This week I covered region boy's golf yesterday and will go to Cando for Braves baseball tomorrow. I'll be shipping off for state golf on Monday.

A lot pictures to share this week. Enjoy.
