A loss to Sanford Sports Academy SD by 30+ was tough but the Stars already had three really big wins to get to the semi-finals giving them a big weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Comets Petetmeier was 3-1 with a nice list of wins. They beat the Rise, knocked off the top [program_tooltip program_id='2075431' first='D1' last='Minnesota'] 16u team, and they beat WOTN Foley, and those were all close game wins.

It's a Tune Up for the big weekend. And with seven top 20 teams in the event including a couple of the best teams in the state, the Tune Up should be a fun event for the days after the 4th. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
