Rangers football finally breaks through

The Forest Lake football team made some history last week in their 29-14 trouncing of Eagan in a Class 6A second-round game played at home on Friday, Oct. 6, as the Rangers earned their second berth in the state playoffs in program history and their first in over three decades. What makes this year’s state berth especially sweet was that it came after second-round playoff losses in each of the past four seasons. “It’s like a monkey off our back,” head coach Brad Beeskow said. “We’ve had four straight years where we’ve reached this point and felt we had teams good enough to get to the state tournament, and not quite getting there. This year, the guys had a look in their eyes — all the adversity that we went through, with injuries and tough losses. I thought everybody picked up the slack and did an amazing job to get us to this point. I’m proud of them.” The last time Forest Lake advanced to the state quarterfinals was 35 years ago in 1991. “An unreal feeling,” senior defensive back Brooks Rohne said of going to state. “Since youth football we’ve been working for that.” Fellow senior defensive back Ndifor

Bobby Durkin, unbeaten Minnesota take aim at winless Southern

Minnesota's Bobby Durkin knows it's just a matter of time before his shots start falling. Durkin will look to break out of a mini-slump when the Golden Gophers (3-0) tip off against Southern (0-4) on Thursday night in Minneapolis. Minnesota coach Niko Medved said he wasn't surprised to see Durkin in the gym early on Tuesday, one day after Minnesota edged host Cincinnati 63-61. The victory maintained the Golden Gophers' perfect start to the season, but Durkin uncharacteristically finished with five points and shot 1-for-6 from beyond the arc. "No days off," Medved said with a smile about Durkin, who averaged 10.2 points a game and shot 39.2% from 3-point range last season. "He's in here in the morning getting shots up. That's what you do. You stick with the routine. ... "It's no secret on the scouting report (that) people are going to look and they're going to say, ‘Hey, we don't want Durkin to catch and shoot a 3.' Sometimes that's difficult to do with all the other moving parts of guarding an offense. It's just been one of the last couple games where it hasn't been as good. ... As long as he keeps taking great shots,
