The Leech Lake Ojibwe Reservation is sending the girls basketball team to the state tournament. The boys team is getting closer to state as well.
The Cass Lake-Bena girls have won every game this season except two. Players attribute their success to teamwork and a good coach.
Meanwhile the boys team is two games away from going to state. The team is currently in the Section 6A playoffs.
The girls will play their first game on Wednesday at Target Center in Minneapolis.
