WARROAD -- The Bemidji High ÍáÍáÂþ» girls swimming and diving team trekked up toward the border on Tuesday, only returning home after a 127-59 dual win over Warroad.
The Lumberjacks only won seven of the 12 events, but it was their depth -- and 27 of 36 possible top-three performances -- that landed them the lopsided victory.
