Here is my post from our page
SEASON UPDATE: Just wanted to give an update on our season, as we come close to the end of the winter season. Mario Kart plays for a birth in the state tournament on Thursday against Platteview at 4. Overwatch takes on No. 1 Omaha Skutt in round 3 of the playoffs. We appreciate all the support this season, we are trying a lot of new things and so far it looks good.
Spring season begins soon. Fortnite 2v2 box fights, Rocket League, and League of Legends are the games. Please see email coach at Nate.porter@mindenwhippets.org to sign up.
