The headline in the Mankato Free Press Sports Section said it all..."Loyola ends 31-years drought". Congratulations to the Girls Basketball Team for advancing to the State Tournament! This is the first GBB team to achieve this level of success since 1981. They are an inspiring group of 8th -12th grade girls, coached by dedicated adults and followed by, as quoted by senior Allysa Mettler, "the best fans in the state". As Allysa went on to say and I whole heartedly agree, "we are amazing together. "
So with that said, the Administrative team, John Landkamer, and I have outlined the schedule for our participation in the State Tournament. This will mean family adjustments and we hope you are able to make everything work by receiving this schedule now. Please feel free to call me at 388.2997 on Monday, if you have any questions. We do not have every detail worked out so please watch for additional email messages from me.
