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

Shockman and Rueter finish seasons on state stage

Audi Shockman tried to block out the crowd before the gun sounded. She took deep breaths and thought about how she had made it to the state cross-country meet in the first place. The Braham freshman was nervous, grateful and surrounded by runners and spectators at Majestic Oaks Golf Club in Ham Lake. By the time her race was over on Saturday, she had completed a first for her school and found a crowd of her own waiting to celebrate. Shockman finished 73rd in the Class A girls race in 20 minutes, 26 seconds. North Branch sophomore Caleb Rueter also closed his season at state, placing 32nd in the Class AA boys race with a personal-best time of 16:11.0. The two underclassmen left with experiences to build on next fall. For Shockman, that meant navigating the largest stage of her season. Rueter followed a race plan he and coach Norm Nagel had discussed while walking the course the day before. Shockman is the first Shockman became the first Braham runner, boy or girl, to compete at the Minnesota State High School League state cross-country meet, according to head coach Ray Abraham and coach Eddie Cease. The milestone was still sinking

Indoor Activities for Kids in Minneapolis: A Maker Parent’s Winter Plan

In our house, winter is building season. By January the cardboard castle in the living room has usually been rebuilt twice, the couch cushions are load-bearing, and somebody wants to know why we can’t build a slide down the stairs. That’s usually the point where we pack the snow boots and head somewhere with a climbing frame bigger than anything I can make out of boxes.

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

Forest Lake girls cross country finishes sixth at state

When the start of the state cross country meet was delayed 20 minutes, Forest Lake’s three seniors were warming up. Coach John Fick said the younger girls followed them, continuing their preparations while they waited to race. They “didn’t even flinch” Fick said of the delay. Once the race began, less than 39 seconds separated the Rangers’ first five finishers. Forest Lake placed sixth among 16 teams with 186 points at the Class AAA State Championship on Saturday, Nov. 7 at Majestic Oaks Golf Club in Ham Lake, with freshman Hazel Hushagen leading a scoring group that included three seniors and an eighth-grader. “I could not have expected more out of them,” Fick said. “Sixth place is outstanding.” Hushagen finished 34th overall, covering the 5,000-meter course in 18 minutes, 55.6 seconds. She brought two years of state-meet experience into her freshman season. Fick said she ran on Forest Lake’s state runner-up team in 2024 and its fourth-place team in 2025. “For a ninth grader, she’s pretty experienced,” Fick said. Fick describes Hushagen as a quiet runner who goes about her work without complaints. Senior Molly McCarthy followed Hushagen in 51st place at 19:09.2. Senior Elsa Swenson was 61st in 19:16.9,
