St. Cloud area MSHSL sectional football championship predictions

ST. CLOUD — The sectional football championships are finally here. Six teams remain throughout the area in hopes of punching their ticket into the MSHSL State Tournament. I went 7-1 on my opening-round sectional picks, incorrectly picking Sauk Rapids over Bemidji. Having skipped the semifinal round with the short week, here we go for championship Friday. Numbers are in correlation with sectional seeds, not state ranking. More: VOTE | St. Cloud Times Athlete of The Week, Oct. 26 – Nov. 1 More: Rocori community comes together for boys soccer star in car accident No. 3 Royalton (6-4) vs. No. 1 Osakis (7-2) at North Dakota State University’s Fargodome at 12:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6: The Royals feel confident heading to the Fargodome for the first time since 2022, after an upset win over Holdingford in the semifinals.

Royalton beat Osakis in an overtime thriller in Week 6, where Boser threw for three touchdowns and added two more on the ground. While it is hard to beat a team twice in a

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

ISD 728 faces next steps after voters reject school referendum

Voters rejected a proposed $350 million school building bond and accompanying capital project levy for ISD 728, leaving district leaders to reconsider how to address building capacity and other facility needs across the growing school district. Unofficial results early Wednesday showed 20,919 voters, or 55.45%, opposed the proposal, compared with 16,807 voters, or 44.55%, in favor. The margin was 4,112 votes, with 32 of 34 precincts reporting. Superintendent Andy Almos said the needs outlined during the referendum campaign remain, even though voters did not approve the district's proposed approach. “The challenges brought forward in this referendum are not going away,” Almos said. “So we now have to regroup.” The district will need to work with its school board to determine what comes next. The board will have a new member, while returning members bring experience and familiarity with the issues raised during the referendum campaign. Almos said that transition also provides an opportunity to consider new ideas and different ways to address the district's challenges. One option likely to receive renewed attention is redistricting. The district had discussed changing attendance boundaries as a possible alternative if voters rejected the referendum. “I think we need to probably really, really strongly consider

(Cold Spring, MN) -- A Rocori High School soccer standout remains hospitalized with serious injuries following a crash in central Minnesota. Junior midfielder Juan Cortez was hurt early Sunday morning when the car he was riding in ran a stop sign and collided with another vehicle east of Rice. The impact threw Cortez from the car.

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

Royals football season ends to Eagan

Rogers football finished its regular season against Eagan on Oct. 30 and had a chance at instant revenge after losing their last game. The Royals couldn't deliver, ending their season in the first round of the state tournament. The Royals lost to the Wildcats 37-16 in the round of 32 as the underdog. The Royals got a six seed after a 1-7 regular season while the Wildcats got a three seed. After going down early the week before, the Royals started the game better this time around. The Royals scored the first and only first quarter touchdown on a 17-yard Aiden Kangas run. Tommy Jameson became a thorn in the Royals side starting in the second quarter. He first ran in a three-yard score with 2:12 left in the second quarter and a quick stop gave the Wildcats a chance to take the lead. With 10 seconds left in the half, Parker West hit Jameson for a 10-yard touchdown to take a 14-7 lead. The Royals tied it up in the second half right away thanks to a 52-yard catch and run from Derrick Harris to Andres Cardenas. The extra point tied the game, and the Royals were in business
