As a team we ran the ball over 200 yards on the ground and had close to 70 in the air. “The goal this week was to find the run game and that’s what we were able to do. With Luke Nauertz having 21 carries for 116 yards with a touchdown, and Noah Wekseth having 19 carries for 88 yards, our seniors in the backfield combined for 40 carries totaling 204 yards. “In the passing game Jax Foss was 9 for 17 with 69 yards and two touchdowns, one being to Ben Eichten and the other being to Hurley Burke.

Northland College's Maxwell Forest to remain protected
For decades, students at Northland College would leave the Ashland campus to study, relax and recharge among the majestic pines and flowing waters of the White River at the 132-acre Mabel Cora Maxwell Nature Study area, just off State Highway 118, split between Ashland and Bayfield counties. Here, students would engage in environmental research, outdoor learning, and recreation amid the splendor of some of the best scenic beauty the north woods have to offer. The woods and water making up this treasure were deeded to Northland by Maxwell, with the understanding that Northland would care for and preserve the property for generations yet to come. However, when Northland was forced to close its doors in May 2025, officials in charge of divesting the college’s collections and properties faced a difficult decision; how to honor the commitment made to Maxwell upon accepting the stewardship of the land, how to preserve the land from thoughtless development and keep it as it has been, pristine and a place where nature abided by its own rules. Many of the college’s faculty, students and alumni as well as residents feared for the fate of the land and sought help to keep it as it has
