R-4 title set

Second-ranked North Star and No. 5 Four Winds-Minnewaukan will meet in a dandy for the Region 4 title and trip to state Thursday night.

The Cardinals got nine from Alex Nelson and eight from Austin Johnson.

In the second semi, Four Winds-Minnewaukan hung 20 on the board in the opening frame and 29 more in the second and it was over.
