March 23, 2026 by Paul Trende Leave a Comment

Caledonia boys basketball is the Section 1AA runner-up. Coming from the 6-seed, the Warriors strong post-season run included battling past 3-seed Cannon Falls, and 2-seed Zumbrota-Mazeppa before falling to #2 in Class AA and top-seed Goodhue 76-71 in a fiercely contested battle. Photo by Paul Trende

Goodhue standout sophomore Max Loos walked off the court at halftime shaking his head. It could’ve been several things. But his concerns probably lie at least some with the opponent his #2 in Class AA Goodhue Wildcats (1-seed, 28-1) faced in the Section 1AA final. Caledonia (6-seed, 18-10) was not supposed to be there. By seed, they were not supposed to win even a quarterfinal … [Read more...]

Boys Basketball: Tradition and Lineage Lead Warriors Back to 1AA Finals Caledonia boys basketball graduated a spectacular class last year, one that took the Warriors all the way to the state semifinals.

Girls Basketball: Warriors Fall in  1AA Semis  Caledonia girls’ basketball (3-seed, 21-6) began the play-offs hoping to reach another 1AA title game.

The Warriors led from start … [Read more...]

State Wrestling: Larson Becomes Only Two-Time FCLMC State Champion It was easy, at least by match scores. Starting with the section tourney, FCLMC senior Kane Larson was barely tested in the post-season. The total scores of his six matches: 102 to 17. He went 6-0 with five tech falls and an 11-4 decision (where he led 11-2 after two periods). Last year’s 172-pound titlist, … [Read more...]
