Cottonwood sent five teams to last weekend's Hallissey Invitational Basketball Tournament, and two of those teams brought home the sportsmanship award. The Tri-Parish was represented by a 7th boys' team, a 7/8 boys' team, and a girls' team. St. John Bosco Academy had boys' and girls' teams. The Tri-parish 7/8 boys won the sportsmanship award for the boy's bracket, while the SJB girls won the sportsmanship award for their bracket. A fantastic representation of our community and parish! Great job and congratulations! SJB Girls from left to right: Tessa Sonnen, Cassidy Bock, Ella Enneking, Oniece Edmonds, Kaelyn Lustig, Nora Johnson, Harley Arnzen, Agnes Dahlsrud, and Emily Seubert.
