• ZHS once claimed to be a mythical state champ (zumbrota.com) — Zumbrota basketball fans get a nostalgic look at how the town once claimed a “mythical” regional title long before today’s state tournaments existed. The story traces Minnesota high school basketball from early informal championships through the creation of the state tournament, and notes how Zumbrota, Zumbrota-Mazeppa, and nearby schools have fared on the big stage over the decades.
