The Tartan Titans will head out on the road to square off against the North Polars at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Tartan knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with flashy point totals in its past 13 games -- so hopefully North likes a good challenge.

Given Tartan's advantage in MaxPreps' Minnesota basketball rankings (they are ranked 26th, while St. Thomas Academy is ranked 177th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
