Cannon Falls runs near-perfect offense to claim section title over Goodhue

In comes junior TJ Kyra and senior Griffin Peterson to handle the heavy workload in the backfield. Kyra was an all-star, gaining at least a yard on all 29 of his carries and scoring three touchdowns.

Centennial ends Eden Prairie’s football hopes 31-13

There was stunned silence in Eden Prairie’s football stands during the first half of a state Class 6A playoff game against Centennial Nov. 6. The halftime scoreboard showed the Eagles down 31-0. Head coach Mike Grant has not been in a situation like that in many years, and all he could do at halftime was make plans for a comeback. That comeback happened, but it wasn’t enough. Two Eagle touchdowns in the second half and a clamp-down by EP’s defense left the home team short in a season-ending 31-13 loss. “We had a tough night,” coach Grant said. “Centennial is a really physical team. They had no turnovers and made no mistakes. We obviously played a lot better in the second half, but Centennial kept the ball on the ground. Their quarterback finished with 116 yards on 23 carries and they controlled the ball.” Centennial had the ball for 25 minutes and 45 seconds of the 48-minute game. For a very rare time, Eden Prairie trailed in rushing yardage 290-217. Two seniors scored Eden Prairie’s touchdowns in the second half. Windlan Hall had the first score on one of his best runs of the season. He ran right, then cut

Turnovers prove costly in Wayzata football defeat

After shellacking White Bear Lake 63-48 in the opening round of the state Class 6A football playoffs on Oct. 30, the Wayzata football team couldn’t provide an encore against No. 1 seed Champlin Park on Friday, Nov. 6. The Rebels used home-field advantage and four touchdown passes by quarterback Cash Miller to end the Trojans’ 2026 season by a final score of 48-13. Four turnovers took the steam out of the Trojans’ offense and for the first time this season senior quarterback Thor Soukup didn’t throw a touchdown pass. Wayzata scored its first touchdown of the game on a 4-yard run by senior halfback Michael Criswell in the second quarter to tie the score 7-7, but that was the last offensive bright spot until late in the fourth quarter when Alex McGarvey's 13-yard pass to Parker Milkes accounted for Wayzata’s final touchdown of the season. With the loss, Wayzata finished the season 5-5 overall – A far cry from last season’s 1-8 overall mark. First-year head coach Derrin Lamker pumped new life into the program and the first-round playoff victory broke a playoff drought that dated back to the 2021 season. Coach Lamker’s reputation as an offensive genius was verified

Waconia paraprofessional earns associations' top honor

Amanda Phenix, a special education paraprofessional in Waconia Public Schools, is Education Minnesota’s 2026-2027 ESP of the Year. The winner was announced Oct. 24 at reception in St. Paul. Phenix has worked in the Waconia Public Schools for 21 years. As a special education paraprofessional, she works directly with students on Individualized Education Plans to meet the education goals established by their case manager and special education team. She does this through intentional engagement with students, checking in on their emotional and physical health throughout the day, and collaborating with teachers to shape lessons that meet students where they are at. Phenix says that building trust is one of the most important pieces of her job. “Building positive, lasting relationships with students in this setting is not optional—it’s essential,” she said. “It can take weeks, even months, to earn their trust. But once it’s there … students begin to open up, show up differently, and find success academically, socially, and emotionally.” Phenix’s colleagues praise her versatility and patience. Paul Tordoff, special education director at Waconia Public Schools, said Phenix “possesses a unique combination of compassion, expertise, and unwavering patience that makes her an ideal fit for our Waconia Middle School

Westonka falls to Zimmerman in section quarterfinals

Joseph Larson scored three rushing touchdowns to lead Zimmerman to a 49-19 victory over Westonka in the Section 6AAAA quarterfinals Oct. 27 at Thunder Stadium. Zimmerman quarterback Dylan Doherty added a rushing touchdown and a scoring pass as the Thunder ended the White Hawks’ season. Westonka finished the season after battling early injuries to its starting quarterback and wide receiver. Those setbacks challenged the offense but also gave younger players opportunities to gain varsity experience. “If we were able to stay healthy we really liked our chances in some of our games this season. Unfortunately that wasn’t the way it went for us. With that, we are excited with the amount of experience a lot of our younger players got this season,” Westonka head coach Nick David said. The White Hawks’ defense provided an early spark by recovering a Doherty fumble on Zimmerman’s second possession. Senior defensive lineman Justin Avenson recovered the ball after Doherty scrambled to his left and lost control, giving Westonka possession in Thunder territory. The White Hawks were unable to capitalize, going three-and-out and punting. Gavin Johnson’s punt pinned Zimmerman at its 10-yard line, but the Thunder responded with an eight-play, 90-yard drive capped by Doherty’s

Randolph operational levy referendum fails

The Randolph Schools operational levy referendum failed on Tuesday, Nov. 3, with 724 “no” votes to 674 “yes” votes. The school district was asking the community to approve a $450 per pupil increase in student funding through the operational levy, which would come to about $390,000 each year in additional revenue for a term of 10 years. An operational levy is for the day-to-day operations of a district for areas like employment, utilities, supplies, technology, extracurriculars, etc. It is not for building a new school, which would require a bond referendum.
