Plenty of games today for Talawanda teams as the Spring sports season gets into full swing. The Baseball team will start off the regular season tomorrow with a tri-double header against Sycamore and Springfield. We also wish the lacrosse team good luck as they travel to Xenia tonight for a game starting at 6:30. The track team has their first meet tomorrow at Harrison, the action begins at 11 am. And the Boys Tennis team begins their regular season at home with a meeting this afternoon with Lasalle. The match begins at 4 pm.
And in March Madness yesterday, 16 First Round games were played, and I was incorrect in picking yesterday ’s upset. Maryland held on to beat Belmont 79-77 in a thriller yesterday afternoon. Other scores of interest yesterday, the 12 seed Murray State knocked off the 5 seed Marquette to bust a lot of brackets, and the 10 seed Florida knocked off 7th seeded Nevada last night. So, with 16 more first-round games today, my pick for Friday’s upset is 12th seeded Oregon over 5th seeded Wisconsin. That game at 4:30 today.
So that’s our broadcast this Friday. I’m Patrick Geshan. I’ll see everyone tonight at the NHS Volleyball Tournament in the gym at 6:30. Thanks so much for watching, and have a great weekend!
