Orono visits Metro West Conference rival New Prague in Star Tribune Game of the Week

As part of our commitment to expanding high school sports coverage, we’ll be livestreaming high school basketball and hockey games from across the state for the remainder of the winter sports season on startribune.com. Keep an eye out for our Star Tribune Games of the Week, which are free to watch.

Thursday’s matchup offers Metro West Conference rivals wrangling for position in the chase for the league title, and you can watch it live at 7 p.m. right here on startribune.com. Come back to this article page an hour before the game begins to see the livestream feed.

Orono enters the game with a 3-0 league mark and tied with Chanhassen atop the Metro West standings. A victory keeps the Spartans (13-1), ranked No. 9 in the Minnesota Top 25 and riding a nine-game winning streak, in the lead while setting up a showdown with the Storm on Jan. 23 in the first of two meetings this season. New Prague is a game back at 2-1 and could put plenty of pressure on the frontrunners with a win. The Trojans (10-2) have won their last five games.

The Star Tribune is partnering with Neighborhood Sports Network TV to bring you games from some of the best Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota teams this season.
