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

Mound residents push back against Lynwood development pitch
A preliminary proposal to build 30 twin homes along Lynwood Boulevard drew opposition from nearby residents during the Mound City Council’s Oct. 22 meeting, with neighbors raising concerns about traffic, drainage and the development’s compatibility with the surrounding single-family neighborhood. The concept plan for 6221 Lynwood Boulevard, submitted by Jason Palmby of Magellan Land Development, would include 30 twin-home units with a cul-de-sac that leads to Lynwood Boulevard via Robin Lane. Sarah Smith, community development director, said the property is currently zoned R-1 single-family residential and would require a conditional use permit for planned unit development approval and potentially an amendment to the city’s zoning ordinance. Palmby said the development is intended to provide additional housing options in Mound, where there is limited new housing stock available. The units would be for sale and the estimated price range is $500,000 to $800,000 per unit. A homeowners association would maintain the development, including lawn care and snow removal. Palmby said a wetland review is underway, but traffic studies and soil borings have not yet been completed. The plan includes stormwater ponds to manage runoff, and the Palmby has begun discussions with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. During public comment, about a
