It was a clean sweep for the Mountain Lake Area (MLA) Wolverine varsity girls squad of Head Coach Wayne Klassen during the 2016 MLA Holiday Tourney.
On Friday, December 30, MLA made that statement with a low-scoring 29-26 victory over Legacy Christian Academy of Andover. The previous day (Thursday, December 29), the Wolverines defeated Renville County West (RCW) by 27 points, 62 to 35.
The win gives the girls a 4-5 season record to date.
In the other girls game played on Friday, Westbrook-Walnut Grove (WWG) topped Renville County West by 20, 58 to 38.
