Tuesday, February 24 Flasher vs Washburn 6:00

The Dino Nuggie Diggers came home with second place in robot performance in Minot January 24th. There were 22 teams at the competition and were tied for first after the first and second rounds; the third run decided the tie. Their high score was the same as the first-place team. We are super proud of these young men and all they accomplished and learned in their short season. The Dino Nuggie Diggers included boy's from Underwood, Turtle Lake, Washburn and coach Danielle Levey.
