Whiskey Inferno: Keep the fire burning
Whiskey Inferno brings premium steakhouse meats and classic smokehouse flavors to one restaurant, giving you the best of both worlds. The restaurant in Savage has been a community hub for eight years. Their landlord is selling the property, and without intervention, it could be redeveloped into a bank or other commercial use. The campaign's $500,000 goal is to cover the down payment so the restaurant owners can purchase the building themselves.

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

Three Tonka girls named All-State in soccer
When the Minnesota High School Girls Soccer Coaches’ Association announced its All-State selections for 2026, Minnetonka head coach Jeff Hopkins was thrilled to see three of his players on the list. Coach Hopkins knew there was a possibility of that happening. The Skippers had one of the best records in school history with a final mark of 14-3-2 and they earned a berth in the State Class AAA Tournament. In all respects, it was a successful season, with a great defensive effort at the heart of that success. “We had 14 shutouts this season,” coach Hopkins noted. One of the All-State selections, senior goalie Lillian Jones, had a lot to do with that. “LJ and AJ Thorpe shared the goalkeeping,” coach Hopkins said. “For her varsity career, LJ had 33 shutouts, which is an incredible number. She made huge, defining saves to help us get to state. We have been blessed with a lot of great keepers at Minnetonka. Lizzy Crist is the record holder with 38 career shutouts.” Jones’ goals-against average was 0.53 this season. Thorpe, who had fewer minutes than Jones, posted a goals-against average of 0.21. Jones was named first-team All-State in her senior season. Minnetonka’s other

Malec sped to the state championship with a 5K time of 17 minutes, 33 seconds. Her performance led a Lake Conference rush that produced eight of the top 15 individual finishers. Lyla Drayna, the Edina sophomore, was second at state in 17:42.6. Fourth place went to Minnetonka ninth-grader Isla Griggs in 18:02.9 and sixth was another Lake ninth-grader, St. Michael-Albertville’s Makenzie Myran in 18:05.2. Rounding out the list of top-15 runners from Lake schools are Edina junior Eva Jain eighth, Hopkins senior Morgan Waechter ninth, Wayzata sophomore Faith Sundet 13th and Eden Prairie sophomore Winona Nelson 15th. The race for individual honors mirrored the chase for the team championship. Blaine broke through to take the title with 65 points. Second with 97 was Wayzata and third and fourth were Edina and Minnetonka, both with 119 points. St. Michael-Albertville took home fifth place with 126. Between cross country, track and Nordic skiing, Malec probably holds the Minnetonka school record for state medals won. What stands out
