Veterans set their sights on new Isanti County park

Jared Johnson took part in the inaugural veterans hunt that took place at Phillip G. Nyman Park in Isanti County late last month. Johnson did not bag a deer — and that’s why he considered the hunt a success, not a failure. “As I was getting ready to hunt, several of my kids told me that they’d love the opportunity to come with me and sit in the blind during this hunt,” Johnson wrote in a letter to the organizers of the event. “After getting an attendant approved, I set up a schedule to bring out one kid at a time for the evening and morning hunts over the three-day period. But when I harvested a deer, the hunt would be over, and those who didn’t get a chance to come with would have to wait until next year.” So when Johnson did not collect a deer, he received something more important: An opportunity to spend time with Adelya, Ellianna, Sherman and Amira Johnson. “Being selected for this hunt afforded me the opportunity to take four of my kids out with me to the blind that I was slotted for,” Johnson wrote. “Each time I went out, I was able

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.

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
