Today, August 1 marks the fourth anniversary of the day HSGN joined the blogosphere, writing about high school sports and game shows.
Unfortunately, due to the COVID 19 pandemic that shut down the whole spring sports season throughout Minnesota, there has been little to write about for HSGN.
But there have been things worth mentioning on the high school sports scene. First, Hopkins girls basketball coach Brian Cosgriff retired after 21 seasons. The Royals were one game away from a second consecutive state title until the state tournament was cancelled due to the pandemic.
Next, will there be a fall sports season in Minnesota? The Minnesota State High School League meets August 4 to render a decision on how fall sports should proceed. Should it be business as usual or a shortened season. Or will the season be postponed or cancelled?
Finally, HSGN would like to extend the best of luck to Brad Brubaker. Brubaker, according to slpschools.org, retired from his teaching position after 32 years with the district. He was the head girls track coach, assistant girls soccer coach where his daughter Lydia also played for the Orioles and is now an assistant. His son, Nathan also played soccer for St. Louis Park. Brubaker also served as the public address announcer for Oriole girls basketball games.
On the game show front, it's been a mix of reruns and new episodes due to COVID 19 for ABC's Sunday and Thursday night lineups. Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy are about to resume taping after weeks of reruns but it will be a different vibe because there will be no studio audience.
So that's what's happening since the last post. Happy Anniversary HSGN and hopefully there will be something worth posting soon that would be of interest.
