Riverland Blue Devils Men's basketball team ties for top honors;
In the Minnesota College Athletic Conference, men's basketball teams in the Southern Division battled from start to finish in the regular season with several teams in the hunt for post-season spots. In the end, two teams tied for top honors with St. Cloud Technical & Community College and Riverland Community College claiming co-champion honors. Western Technical College had a chance to extend their season until a final victory by Rochester CTC over M State-Fergus Falls provided passage for the Yellowjackets to capture the fourth seed in the post-season. Anoka-Ramsey Community College claimed a third-place regular season spot to allow them to participate in the Region XIII tournament held on their campus, while Ridgewater College and Minnesota West CTC will look to rebuild for a run at the 2019-2020 campaign.

Riverland Community College Theatre has delayed its third production by one day, opening this Thursday instead of Wednesday because of recent winter storms.

Danger and hilarity are non-stop in this murderously funny whodunit set during the Christmas holidays in 1936.

But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks quickly turn dangerous. It is then up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears.
