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

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

Crimson boys soccer loses in heartbreaker at state

As the favored seed in the state tournament quarterfinals, Maple Grove boys soccer had a tough task on its hand. Familiar foe St. Paul Central was the first-round opponent on Oct. 29. The two teams had met in the season, and the Crimson survived a 5-3 slugfest. This time, the Minutemen won and ended the Crimson's season in penalty kicks. The first half started exactly how the Crimson drew it up. In the first 10 minutes, star senior midfielder Parker Carlson managed to control a bouncing ball on the Minutemen side of the field. Carlson made a couple moves and fired a through pass between a flurry of Minutemen defenders. Fellow senior and captain Bodi Nelson took the pass and rifled a perfect left footed shot past the goalkeeper into the back of the net. The Crimson now played with the lead, but both teams would continue to find offensive opportunities. The Minutemen had a few shots or drive in close to the goal that goalkeeper Raidyn Bailey stopped. The best play of the game from Bailey came near the end of the first half. Leading 1-0, a cross came into the box and a header directed at the ground

Local voters approve school funding increase

MONTICELLO — Public school districts across Minnesota, including those serving Monticello, Big Lake and Becker, will receive additional funding beginning next summer after voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment increasing annual payments from the state's Permanent School Fund. The amendment, approved in Tuesday's general election, increases the amount distributed annually from the $2.3 billion fund, which supports public education without raising income or property taxes. Unofficial statewide results early Wednesday showed approximately 73% of voters supporting the measure, with 23% opposed and 4% leaving the question blank. Locally, the amendment received majority support in Monticello, Big Lake and Becker, as well as their surrounding townships, according to unofficial results from the Minnesota Secretary of State's Office. Support was strongest in Monticello, where 4,309 voters supported the amendment and 1,695 opposed it. Including ballots left blank, the measure received 68.8% support in the city. In Big Lake, 64.1% of voters supported the amendment, while Becker voters approved it with 60.7% support. Voters in the surrounding townships were less supportive. The amendment received 57.8% support in Monticello Township, 56.4% in Big Lake Township and 55.5% in Becker Township. Countywide, the measure received 65.2% support in Wright County, compared with 59.5% in neighboring
