He beat Wahpeton's No. 1 player in the state-qualifier round. Eric had a great weekend. For a first-year varsity player to qualify for state, that's a great accomplishment. Eric is a very good athlete.

We are in a general weather pattern the last couple weeks where there is going to be, every few days, a weather system moving across the Northern Great Plains. So rain is likely not only Monday night and Tuesday, but late Thursday night and Friday from the next system. So it's an active weather pattern.
