high school

Sauk Rapids-Rice had their homecoming the last week of September, and the staff put on a show for it!

Here are a few borderline embarrassing things that I remember from my teen years.

The Rocori Spartans made their third straight trip to the state tournament in 2016 before their season came to an end with a 34-30 loss to Winona at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Spartans finished with an overall record of 9-4.

The Sartell Sabres shook off an 0-3 start to their 2016 season to finish with a 6-4 record. The Sabres won their final five regular-season games and topped Brainerd 35-0 in the opening round of the section playoffs before falling 40-32 to Moorhead in a nail-biter at SJU.

The Tech Tigers finished the 2017 regular season undefeated with a record of 8-0 before defeating Sauk Rapids-Rice 47-0 in the first round of the section playoffs. However, the Tigers’ season ended four days later with a 31-7 setback against St. Michael-Albertville.

The Apollo Eagles are hoping that the lumps they took during 2016’s 1-8 campaign will translate to wins in 2017. The Eagles certainly did not struggle to score points last season, averaging 24.2 points per game.

This is a good lesson for high school students to be careful about what you share on the internet. It will haunt you into adulthood. What embarrasses you the most about high school now looking back?

This past weekend was the Minnesota State Wrestling Tournament for 2017 at the Xcel Energy Center, and I went on Saturday for the individual finals!

It's back to school week for the kids. For a lot of them it's exciting and scary at the same time. My son started 9th grade, help me with the talk about good and bad decisions.

Today's as great a day as ever to start pledging to be a safe driver...as it also counts towards a FREE concert from The Band Perry and $CASH for your Central Minnesota high school!

Not since we put a man on the moon has one small step been such a big one.
