Armstrong alum sparks historic triumph with St. Paul Central

Robbinsdale Armstrong alum Mohammed Gubara made history last week, overseeing St. Paul Central’s return to the top levels of the boys soccer state tournament, playing in the semifinals and eventually securing third place honors in Class AAA. Born in the United States but largely raised in his family’s homeland of Sudan, Gubara eventually made a new home in Minnesota and went on to attend Armstrong. Graduating high school in 2018, Gubara was a major presence on the varsity boys soccer team under then-head coach Marcus Anthony. The two eventually became co-workers, with Gubara taking up an assistant coaching role at Armstrong. The two departed Armstrong boys soccer after the conclusion of the 2023 season. While Anthony, who graduated from Robbinsdale Cooper, went on to take up the men’s head coaching job at Anoka-Ramsey Community College, Gubara aimed for a bigger role in high school sports, filling the head coach vacancy of St. Paul Central’s boys soccer program after building his resume both at Armstrong and as youth coach in the club game at Park Valley United, where he also played and won a state championship, and Boreal FC, where he is now boys technical director.

COLUMN: Shocking results leave only 1 West District team alive

Two months ago, I would have envisioned Moorhead, Eden Prairie and Minnetonka all advancing to the final eight of the State Class 6A football playoffs. In fact, in my personal rankings, I had Moorhead No. 1 in the state and Eden Prairie No. 2. Teams from the West District were wiping out the competition in district cross-over games against teams from the South, East and North. Last week brought “Black Friday” to the West District. They almost lost the house, but Minnetonka did survive by rallying from a 21-0 deficit to win 26-21 at Blaine. As the results rolled in that night, fans checked and double-checked before accepting the results. Moorhead was stunned 19-14 by Prior Lake. The result wasn’t a mistake in reporting. Prior to the game, Moorhead lost All-State receiver David Mack to an injury. Two other key offensive players suffered injuries and suddenly the vaunted Spuds’ passing attack was in disarray. What could have been a long bus ride back home for Prior Lake was more like a frat party as the Lakers celebrated the biggest upset of the playoffs so far. Eden Prairie and Centennial are similar teams, but on “Black Friday” in Eden Prairie, it

Three Wayzata girls land All-State soccer berths

Three Wayzata High girls were named to the Minnesota Soccer Coaches’ Association All-State team recently. First-team honors went to junior defender Lila Hawkinson, a third-year varsity player. Named second-team All-State were junior goalkeeper Fiona Kinahan and junior midfielder Ellen Welliver. “Lila Hawkinson is the best defender in the state in my opinion,” Wayzata head coach Tony Peszneker said. “She has great leg strength. Lila plays on a club team where she is surrounded by other All-State players. This year she took a step forward with her leadership.” Kinahan was injured for half of the season, but played in enough matches to gain All-State consideration. “Fiona is a fierce competitor with sure hands,” coach Peszneker said. “When she was unable to play, we had two other goalkeepers, Chloe Sullivan and Kemper Steenson, step in and do a good job. With all three of them coming back, the team should have no problem in goal next season.” Welliver’s play in the midfield was a definite plus for the Trojans. “She is a capable player, all-around,” coach Peszneker noted. “Ellen played mainly outside defense as a sophomore. This year we moved her into the midfield. Part of what makes her an effective player

Lake girls CC teams dominate the State AAA Meet

Perennial state contender Evie Malec, Minnetonka’s senior girls cross country captain, climbed to the top of the mountain in the State Class AAA Meet Saturday, Nov. 7, at Majestic Oaks Golf Course in Ham Lake. 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

State boys cross country meet is almost a dead heat

At first glance Saturday morning in the State Class AAA Boys Cross Country Meet at Majestic Oaks Golf Course in Ham Lake, it looked as if Wayzata and Minneapolis Washburn were tied for the championship with 127 points. That’s what the scoreboard said, so everyone connected to the two team were scrambling to see how the tie would be broken. Then came the bad news: A runner from Brainerd had edged Wayzata’s Blake Knutson by three-tenths of a second for 41st place. The discovery left Washburn at 127 points and moved Wayzata’s points to 128. “It would have been nice if we had won,” Wayzata head coach Mark Popp said. “But it is what it is. There are a lot of good runners here, and they all mixed it up. It was harder than ever to make All-State [top 25 in the race].” Wayzata’s pack ran together, which has been the formula for success all season. Rosemount and Maple Grove went out faster than the Trojans did on Saturday. “I thought Rosemount would be tough to catch, but we did catch them,” coach Popp said. Leading the way for Wayzata were juniors Charlie Williams and Thomas Berndt, the 13th and

Rebels football dominates Trojans to advance in state

Champlin Park football dominated their way to a section championship and the first round of the state tournament-proper last week, beating Wayzata 48-13 at home Nov. 6. The Rebels arrived at the second round of the Class 6A tournament having yet to taste defeat. Champlin Park went 8-0 through the regular season, winning their district, before dominating Eastview in the first round of the playoffs, 52-0 on Oct. 30. Champlin Park arrived at last week’s game having scored 40-plus points in six games, reaching as high as 80 in their win against Osseo. Wayzata was one of three teams to go 2-4 in the Metro West district this season, going 5-4 overall to set up a fifth seed in their portion of the state tournament bracket. The Trojans were able to then take a step further by defeating White Bear Lake 63-48 in the first round. The Rebels took an early lead with the only scoring of the first quarter, as Cash Miller found Jaden Oligmueller with a 12-yard pass. Quentin Ashburn converted the extra point to make it 7-0. Wayzata answered back in the second quarter, tying the game at 7-7, but Champlin Park had other ideas. The Rebels

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
