After winning the Iowa state championship of the Pacesetter tournament back in March, a group of Okoboji seventh graders will be taking the “big” floor at the Target Center in Minneapolis today (Saturday) looking for an even bigger trophy. The Okoboji girls seventh-grade basketball team will participate in the Pacesetter Great Four-State Youth Basketball Championship, against teams from Minnesota and the Dakotas. They will open at 12:05 against Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton of Minnesota. The team is 26-4 heading into these championships and features Shaelyn Adams, Megan Peschong, Kailye Hromatko (??), Cory Hoffman, Breanne Kopera, Brenna McCabe, Emily Wintz, Grace Goehring, Brooklyn Barnett, Mallory Miller and Jaydn Barnett. As part of the tournament, the girls will be featured as part of the pre-game festivities for the Minnesota Lynx game against Seattle. For more information, check out www.pacesetternet.com.
