Football playoffs: Irish, Cougars advance to quarterfinals

Class 6A teams now playing for trips to U.S. Bank Stadium Rosemount defensive coordinator Parc Williams watched with admiration as the Irish offense plowed through St. Michael-Albertville for yet another first down. “I’m loving this,” he said. With good reason. Rosemount’s offense was giving Williams’ defense an extended break, and it was bleeding the clock in the second half as the Irish finished off a one-sided 35-7 victory in the second round of the Class 6A football playoffs Nov. 6. St. Michael-Albertville (4-6) shut out three of its previous four opponents, but Rosemount (7-3) quickly eliminated that possibility by driving 72 yards in 10 plays – all on the ground – for a touchdown on the game’s first possession. The Irish kept on rolling, gaining 430 yards – 347 on the ground – in reaching the state quarterfinals for the first time since 2023 and 14th time overall. They will play Prior Lake at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, at Maple Grove High School. With Rosemount’s rushing game dominating, that meant the Irish offensive linemen were having a good time. “It’s a great offense to block for,” said senior Max Meger, the Irish’s center. “Of course, it’s fun running down

Lightning’s Bakken becomes his school’s 1st cross country champion

Eastview senior wins state Class 3A race with late surge Luke Bakken didn’t have to slay Godzilla, just outrun him. Before every cross country season, Eastview boys coach Thomas Sharp asks runners to identify a “Godzilla Goal,” meaning something that seemed so far out of reach that it could only happen in a movie. Then he’d ask them what they thought they needed to do to achieve their lofty goals and encourage them to try. Coming off a 2025 season where he finished 20th in the state Class 3A meet, Bakken’s Godzilla Goal for his senior year could be only one thing – winning the state championship. Then he went out and did it. Using the finishing kick that has now become his trademark, Bakken passed Channing Goodwin of Rosemount and Max Molinaro of Two Rivers to win the boys Class 3A championship Nov. 7 at Majestic Oaks Golf Course. All three ran career-best times. Bakken finished in 15 minutes, 6.9 seconds to Goodwin’s second-place 15:07.5 and Molinaro’s 15:14.8, good for third place. Bakken and Goodwin had the two fastest times in the entire state meet, including runners in the Class 2A and Class 1A races. It was the third

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

Anoka-Hennepin Schools sees enrollment decline

Enrollment is down at Anoka-Hennepin Schools. According to the district’s Oct. 1 report, kindergarten through 12th grade saw a decrease of 367 students from last year compared to their projected decrease of only seven students. Although enrollment fluctuates as the school year progresses, Oct. 1 enrollment numbers help determine school staffing needs and are reported to the state to determine funding received for the following year. This year, the K-12 population is 36,051, which is 274 less students than reported in 2020 near the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.. “This is our second year of enrollments coming underneath projections, and that’s a trend that we’re anticipating for upcoming years as well,” said Nick Herman, the district’s data integration manager. Many school districts in the county have attributed a downward trend in kindergarten enrollment to lower birth rates across the state, which was predicted by the state demographer in a 2024 report. “We have fifth grade classes going to middle school that are relatively large, and they are not being replaced by kindergarten and they’re not being fully replaced by growth throughout from K to five,” Herman said. “Last year was a record low for kindergarten, and we came in four
