Heading into last Friday’s season opener against Waseca in the first round of the Red Wing girls basketball tournament, Ed Wachutka and the rest of the Wildcats were thinking about words like identity, chemistry, and momentum.
If you ventured out to do some deer hunting in and around Chisago County last week, perhaps some of you asked yourself the same question that nagged me as I sat in my stand on opening day: “If there are 1.3 million deer in the state, where are they?”
Benilde-St. Margaret's had the stars, they had the rankings, they had the stats.- they even had a state title. Rated number one in state class “A”, the Red Knights were the overwhelming favorites.
After six years and dozens of races together, seniors John Leaf, Ben Dery and Dan Brelje ran their final race as Chisago Lakes High School cross-country teammates last Saturday.
Just days after the state meet, no check that, hours after the race finished, Ward Gilkerson and company looked into their crystal ball, focusing on next year.
Contrary to what you read in the deer hunting magazines, you probably waited, as I did, until a week or so prior to the gun season to scout the woods for logical locations to set up your stand.
