Lately, the Lady Cubs have been playing a lot, and winning a lot. Coming off of a two-game sweep of Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa last week, the Cubs enjoyed a little déja vu, sweeping Holdingford in a twin bill on Monday, May 15. That moves the Kimball kids to a spectacular 14-2 overall record on the season.
