Mistakes pile up as Knights football is eliminated

St. Michael-Albertville football's momentum stopped after a first-round upset to Woodbury, as Rosemount beat them in the round of 16 to end their season in the state tournament. The Knights crushed the Royals in the first round, winning on the road as the six-seed over the three-seed in Woodbury. On Nov. 6, the Knights lost to Rosemount 35-7, not repeating the upset from last season or last week and falling to the No. 2 team in their quadrant of the bracket. The first half was all Rosemount. The Irish scored three times in the first half to make it 21-0 over the Knights. In the second quarter, the Knights showed signs of life when down 14-0. After a punt, the Irish fumbled on the ensuing drive thanks to forced fumble by defensive back Kyan Beaumont. Beaumont and the Knights took over on their opponent's 24 and drove down inside the Irish 10. A costly fumble coughed up a golden opportunity for the Knights offense to cut the lead in half with the first half time ticking down. The Irish capitalized and scored once more before the break. The second half had as much scoring, but the Knights joined the fray

Magic rout rival Elks to reach state

It was a rematch to remember. Monticello punched its ticket to the state football tournament Friday for the fourth time in school history, joining the 1976, 1988 and 2024 teams. The Magic did it by cruising past rival Elk River 23-0 in the Section 7AAAAA championship. The first meeting between the teams came a few weeks earlier. With both sides coming in 6-0, statewide attention turned to Elk River, where the Elks and Magic battled to stay undefeated. The Magic came out on top in a back-and-forth slugfest that ended 36-29. After winning their next two games, including a section semifinal, the Magic met the Elks again. The winner was the same, but the game was anything but. Maxwell Lofgren capped a 73-yard opening drive, following excellent blocking on a toss to the right side all the way to the end zone for a 13-yard touchdown. Quarterback Carson Deibele ran in the two-point conversion to make it 8-0 with 6:26 left in the first quarter. Early in the second quarter, the Magic defense came up big, recovering a fumble deep in its own territory to leave the Elks with no points. Monticello took over and drove down the field again.

Maple Grove hopes for grant for 82nd Avenue/Main Street project

At its Nov. 2 meeting, the Maple Grove City Council approved support of the city’s Local Road Improvement Program grant application for funding for the 82nd Avenue and Main Street Area Rehabilitation Project. In May 2025, the council initially approved improvements to Main Street between Lakeview Drive and Weaver Lake Road, Lakeview Drive and 82nd Avenue (near Life Time and the Maple Grove Library). These plans were paused after developments at the Maple Grove Community Center and a possible performing arts center area. A feasibility report was ordered in February. The plans for the area includes new bituminous roadways, roundabouts at Main Street and 82nd Avenue and Main Street and Lakeview Drive, walking paths along the roadways, and new landscaping. These improvements would help with future traffic flows from the Maple Grove Community Center’s expansion and the Maple Grove Performing Arts Center located in the road project area. Proposed construction costs for the project area estimated at $5.95 million. City staff is looking to apply for $1.5 million in MnDOT 2026 Local Road Improvement Program grant funds to help pay for the project. According to city staff, “The grant program provides funding assistance to local agencies for constructing or reconstructing

Anonymous donor gives $5,000 to help Monticello Middle School students

MONTICELLO — An anonymous donor is helping ensure that financial hardship doesn’t prevent Monticello Middle School students from having the essentials they need or participating in school activities. The Monticello School Board unanimously accepted a $5,000 donation designated for middle school students in need during its Nov. 2 meeting. The money will primarily help cover basic necessities, including clothing, essential school supplies and equipment. It will also help offset costs for families so students can participate in field trips and grade-level activities. According to the district, the donation comes from a longtime supporter who has made similar contributions in the past. “The donor met with our Student Center team this fall to learn more about current student needs. They have generously provided similar donations in the past,” Monticello Middle School Principal Jeff Scherber said. “During our meeting, the team shared how previous funds were used and highlighted the positive impact on our students.

Elks shut out by Monticello in Section 7-5A championship

The No. 2-seeded Elk River football team saw its season come to an end with a 23-0 loss to top-seeded Monticello in the Section 7-5A championship Friday, Nov. 6, in Monticello. In a game in which both teams controlled the ball for extended stretches and scoring opportunities were limited, two Elk River turnovers proved costly against a talented Monticello team. The shutout was Elk River’s first in more than 14 years, dating back to a September 2012 loss to Totino-Grace. Monticello opened the scoring on its first possession, marching 74 yards in 12 plays before Max Lofgren scored on a 13-yard run with 6:26 remaining in the first quarter. Carson Deibele ran in the two-point conversion to give the Magic an 8-0 lead. Elk River responded with a promising drive, moving 51 yards in 12 plays to the Monticello 21-yard line as the first quarter ended. However, a fumble on the first play of the second quarter ended the threat, giving the Magic possession at its own 13. Monticello capitalized, driving 87 yards in 10 plays and scoring on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Deibele to Johnny Moore with 7:12 remaining in the half. Deibele and Moore connected again on
