MPR’s Mark Steil takes a look back at Sherburn High School Raiders’s win of the 1970 Minnesota Boys Basketball Tournament.
It was a memorable win, with a southwestern Minnesota team from tiny Sherburn, population not quite 1,200, knocking off metro powerhouse South St. Paul for the championship. More than 18,000 fans packed Williams Arena on the University of Minnesota campus for the championship game showdown.
