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

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,
