Apollo was in Willmar and Cathedral faced Providence Academy. Albany hosted St. John's Prep, and Melrose headed to Little Falls. Volleyball fans also had a busy day. ROCORI played at Alexandria, Sauk Rapids-Rice visited Willmar, and Pierz went to Cathedral. There were matches all over the place, from Foley at Albany to Big Lake at Orono.
