    They are playing 10 games.

    2 non conference games.

    8 conference games (playing each team 2x - home and away)

    Waldorf has their schedule up.

    works short term. maybe not long term

    I don't see how the Northstar survives with 7 schools (5 football playing). Vuterbo is way off on its own. They have to be looking elsewhere. That would leave the Northstar at 6/5

    Dang, they'd be better off merging with GPAC to get to 16. Maybe that will happen soon enough. Or maybe we just pluck up 2/3 schools from the GPAC and make spots available for them.

    Double round robin, that that only covers 8 games.

    I live 25 miles from Hutch, worked for a short time at Hutch Tech, have relatives there, spent more time than I can remember there. Nice old movie theater right across from the library square. Out of the west end of town on Highway 7 is my favorite restaurant, the Tokyo Grill. Hutch is a football POWER. Has 3M and a nice hospital.

    The Minneapolis Star Tribune once had an article describing the county seat of Renville County, Olivia- as the ugliest main street in the state. That made me laugh- I thought about that as I drove through town on Tuesday night.
    Several other main streets in Renville County alone that are much less appealing :D

    Do you pass through that town on the way from Minneapolis to Aberdeen? If so, I agree. Pretty nice town.
    Never driven that route myself, but I plugged it into Google Maps and if you take highway 7 across Minnesota you do pass through Hutchinson.

    Hutch is a nice little town. Not much there from what I remember as it's been several years. They did (do) have a Target though, which was cool.

    I worked for Hutchinson Technology for 18 years at the Sioux Falls plant. Traveled up the corporate office more times than I can count. Not a bad town.

    Hutch is a very cool Big-Small town. I always enjoy swinging through there.

    Worthington is one too.
