It may be too early for March, but it's never too early for madness.
Calendars won't flip until Friday, but by that time the Peninsula Conference will already have 16 games in at its conference tournament at Lumen Christi in Anchorage.

Don't count on the month holding its reputation for a lamb's entrance, either, as Friday and Saturday will see 10 more games contested, including the all-important conference championship games Friday and the second-place games Saturday.

The Homer Middle School Huskies hosted the 2013 Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Wrestling Championships last Saturday.
Six middle school teams, ranging from Seward down the peninsula, met at the end of the road where Homer walked away with five Borough Champions, the most of the tournament.
For the Husky eighth graders, Jaime Rios, Jared Brant and Andrew Doughty all took home titles. Rios, who wrestled at 105 pounds, came back from a 0-7 point discrepancy to beat Kenai's Ryan Comers via a power half-Nelson roll into a pin.
