Dark Horse

This week I chose the song "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry and Juicy J. That's the way that teams are going to have to make themselves this year as underdog is a common theme for many teams in the area.

This past week I covered a Dakota College at Bottineau (DCB) basketball doubleheader, both a game for the Bottineau boys and girls, the Westhope-Newburg girls and the Bottineau 19U team.

Congratulation to the Seahawks as they advanced to Super Bowl LXVIII. I picked them preseason to win the title, so I will be cheering for them. If you don't believe me, check here http://g2knowbouttineau.blogspot.com/2013/09/step-by-step.html.

I have 21 photos from the past week, and follow me on twitter @typhoonater467.
