Itasca basketball teams lock in first wins of 2026-27

GRAND RAPIDS — Minnesota North College-Itasca’s men’s and women’s basketball teams are back on the court this season and both recently picked up their first wins of 2026-27. Men’s coach Tim Wagner said this is his first season coaching in the MCAC and it’s an entirely new coaching staff and roster suiting up for the Vikings this season. They’ll be led by captain Dante Adams, who transferred from North Dakota this season, and Wagner said his first impression is that it’s a quick and talented team. “We’ve got a skilled offensive team that can really score in transition. We can always play five good basketball players that can pass, dribble, and shoot. We’re undersized defensively, but we’ve got good individual defenders with the quickness to keep their man in front.” The Vikings are four games into the season and are now 1-3 after picking up the first win of the year on Monday in Grand Rapids. They had four players score in double figures as they took down Leech Lake Tribal College by 28 points for a 95-67 victory. Khalil Hudgins led Itasca with 17 points on 8 of 10 shooting. Jaden Linsday and Yessef Aikens each scored 15. Linsday

City Council finalizes local election

GRAND RAPIDS — To open its meeting on Monday, Nov. 9, the Grand Rapids City Council adopted a resolution finalizing the municipal races held during last Tuesday’s midterm elections. The resolution canvasses and declares the results from the election, which determined Grand Rapids Mayor Tasha Connelly was reelected as mayor with 3,599 total votes. Dale Adams (2,899), and Tom Sutherland (2,770) were both elected to council seats. The city council adopted the resolution declaring the election results in a unanimous roll call vote. During Positive Happenings, Mayor Connelly highlighted the Grand Rapids High School football team, who just won the Section 7AAAA Championship and will play in the state quarterfinals this Friday in Brainerd. Connelly also said that Rob Mattei of the economic development authority (GREDA) notified the city council that the city of Grand Rapids received several large census tracts as federal Qualified Opportunity Zones in southern Grand Rapids, designated by the U.S. Department of Treasury. The hope is that the designation draws interest with lucrative economic opportunities and tax incentives to spur development and redevelopment for two areas inside Grand Rapids, effective Jan. 1, 2027, through 2036.
