Penn Unbeaten at Lindenwood Tourney

Penn HS ran the table in the Lindenwood High School tournament held at Lindenwood University, St. Charles, Mo. this weekend.

The tournament was a good kickoff for teams in the Midwest, and mercifully, it wasn’t a snow-fest like last year.

Eight programs entered varsity teams, while six also entered JV teams. Indiana-based Penn won both brackets, not losing a game.
