Many fans that go to games like to have a printed program in their hands to look at a team's roster. But many venues are having you scan the roster on your phone. Some fans can't or don't do that. As time goes on, you are going to see more of that.
Here's how you can print off your own roster at home and bring it with you to the game.
For example... Sauk Centre girls basketball vs Albany Friday night.
Scroll down on MIDMNSPORTS and click on West Central Conference. Under "school activity calendar" click "Sauk Centre". Toward the top, click "rosters". Click on "basketball girls varsity". Click on "Sauk Centre". In the upper right, click print.
To get the Albany roster. Scroll down on MIDMNSPORTS and click on Granite Ridge Conference. At the top, click on "member school". To the right, under calendars, click on Albany. Toward the top, click on "roster" and go through the same steps as you did for the Sauk Centre roster.
This process can be done for any team and any sport by going to that school's activity calendar. If you have any questions, please email me at midmnsports@gmail.com.
Hope that helps.
