County, Hutchinson officials meet in joint session Thursday

The McLeod County Board of Commissioners and Hutchinson City Council met jointly Thursday afternoon to discuss topics ranging from the joint planning ordinance to a shared roto-chopper to water drainage issues.
First up was a discussion of McCuen Creek, located between Allen Lake and the south edge of Hutchinson, which is in desperate need of a clean-out.
County Commissioner Paul Wright said the creek is a public waterway, and property owners along the creek would like to see the county take it over and incorporate it into the ditch system.

School Board shortens student year by 1 day, adds ‘packing day’

The Glencoe-Silver Lake School Board shortened the student school year by one day at its Wednesday, March 8, meeting. Instead, teachers will be given a “packing day” at the end of the year to prepare to move from current classrooms into the new building additions.
Superintendent Chris Sonju said the other option to create a packing day would be to extend the teachers’ contract by one day, which would have cost the district money. Sonju said the teachers and the board came to an agreement on the packing day in a meet-and-confer session.

GSL boys lose to Jordan in 2AA North finale

For the fourth consecutive year, the Glencoe-Silver Lake and Jordan boys’ basketball teams met in the postseason when the squads met in the Section 2AA North subsection title game on Monday, March 13 in Mankato.

Unfortunately for GSL, the Hubmen came out on top for the second-straight occasion.

After thumping Tri-City United 64-43 in the subsection semifinals to make up for an earlier-season setback, the Panthers had the tables turned on them in the North finale.

Panthers girls fall to NYA in subsectional final

A rollicking season came to a close a couple games earlier than the Glencoe-Silver Lake girls’ basketball team would have liked after the Panthers were defeated 62-53 by Norwood Young America in the Section 2AA North subsection title game on Tuesday, March 7 in Mankato.

“It’s been a great year,” coach Jeff Monahan said. “We fell just a little bit short.”

The Raiders took control of the game from the start against a GSL squad that showed its share of nerves early.
