SAUK RAPIDS — Students at the Sauk Rapids-Rice High School had the opportunity to take part in a statewide mock presidential election Oct. 24.

A precinct was set up in the high school media center, complete with a registration check-list and judges. Students obtained their ballots, made their way into the polls and selected their candidate.

Once casting their ballot, the students received a red sticker with the slogan “My vote. My voice.”

“We had students who completely managed the polling place. Some of them were election judges, some ballot judges and some checked people in to see if they were registered. Our students did a very nice job of handling things from front to back,” said Win Anderson, SRRHS social studies teacher and coordinator of the mock election.

The Minnesota Students Vote 2016 mock election was the Àrst of its kind coordinated by the Minnesota Secretary of State OfÀce. Schools opted into the program last spring and were sent promotional

tools and materials to conduct the election. Each high school was given the ability to decide how and where the voting took place, whether in a central location, over lunch hour, in individual classrooms or something entirely different.

Over 77,000 students from 213 high schools participated in the event so far and many more are set to conclude their balloting before the country’s actual Election Day. While statewide results

report the Republican Trump/ Pence ticket narrowly defeating Democratic Party Clinton/ Kaine by just over 2 percent, the Sauk Rapids-Rice students chose Clinton as Obama’s successor.

“I think generally, younger voters are just liberal. I feel like there’s more Clinton supporters,” said senior AP Government student Justin Glen before the results were revealed. “We did a survey and it was something like Àve Trump and 20 Clinton sup-

porters in our class.”

Of the roughly 1,200 students at SRRHS, 201 preregistered students voted on their election day.

Clinton/Kaine received 81 votes or 40 percent; Trump/ Pence received 68 votes with 34 percent; various write-in candidates received 16 votes, the Green Party’s Stein/ Hawkins tallied 13 votes; Libertarian Johnson/Weld collected 10; Independence McMullin/Johnson eight; and Vacek/ Elworth of the Legal Marijuana Now Party Àve.

“Candidates other than Trump and Clinton received 26 percent of the vote, which is pretty darn unusual. I think that demonstrates how people are not necessarily pleased with the choices they have,” Anderson said. “That’s one thing I have been hearing in class that echoes what you hear in the public. My students aren’t happy with either candidate for the most part.

I haven’t really met a lot of die-hard Clinton or die-hard Trump students.”

Although the state of Minnesota has same-day registration, the school opted for students to preregister if they wanted to participate in the activity.

“We wanted a little more buy-in,” Anderson said. “If they didn’t preregister, they

Rice City Council candidates

Two candidates, Bryan Anderson and incumbent Chris Scheel, are running unopposed and will Àll the open seats on the Rice City Council for the next four years.

I am running for city council because I can be an asset to the community.

What changes, if any, would you like to implement as a member of city council? How do you plan to address those concerns? I can’t list changes that need to be made immediately. It will take a little time to Ànd the weak links or things that don’t move smoothly, and then they can be addressed.

What budget recommendations would you make if elected to the council? I am Àscally conservative. I cannot afford to waste my money, and others' money is as important as my family's.

I am running for city council for many reasons. The main reason is that my grandfather, Tom Braun was a former mayor for the City of Sauk Rapids for eight years.

I want to continue bringing that to the city of Rice for the next four years.

Ehlert graduates citizens police academy MCPA opens eyes to police procedures

by NATASHA BARBER STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS — Dan Ehlert had not formed an opinion about law enforcement before entering the Metro Citizens Police Academy ( M C PA ) classroom in September. He had never experienced Dan Ehlert run-ins with the law and held no ill-feelings against ofÀcers. In the same respect, he wasn’t placing law enforcement on a pedestal either.

Ehlert was simply interested in learning. And the information taught during the eight week, nearly 40-hour class opened his eyes.

“I was really blown away

as to how open they [law enforcement] were to questions or comments we had,” Ehlert said. “They didn’t shy away and addressed everything with what I believe, was 100 percent honesty. They didn’t push questions off to the side or skirt around them, they answered them truthfully.”

Ehlert is one of 21 people who graduated as the MCPA’s

Class of 2016 Oct. 27.

The cost-free class aims at assisting community members in better understanding police training, procedures and philosophy. It is open to residents of St. Cloud, St. Joseph, Sartell, Sauk Rapids and Waite Park, who are 21 years of age or older and free of criminal history.

Candidates apply through their local police department as a

What’s Happening

School district facility study continues

by ANNA SALDANA STAFF WRITER

SAUK RAPIDS – The Sauk Rapids-Rice School District’s facilities study continues to move forward.

Throughout the past two months, SRR Superintendent Dr. Dan Bittman held listening sessions in the community.

“Overall, everyone appreciates the process and recognizes the need for additional space throughout the district,” Bittman said. “Most members of the community are supportive of the Task Force’s recommendations to the board.”

During the process several questions were asked: if/ when will the district need to add space at the middle and high schools, when schools

and/or athletic facilities would be built and ready to serve students and families and whether the Board of Education would consider keeping a portion of Pleasantview Elementary (the non-pod areas).

Another big question was whether the district will seek an operating referendum if recommendations are accepted and approved, in which Bittman said they will not.

Bittman is holding one more listening session Nov. 14 at 5 p.m. at Pleasantview Elementary.

In other school board news: • The City of Sauk Rapids and Hagemeister and Mack Architects presented information to the board on a possible Àeld house to be built north of the Sauk Rapids-Rice High

School, looking at four possible options.

Option one was a standalone footprint, which included four full-size basketball courts, a track, restrooms, concessions and storage. The 56,000 square foot building would be built with 35-foot pre-cast walls and would ideally take on the aesthetics of the high school and government center buildings. The second option presented did not include the track and reduced the size of the building by 21,000 square feet.

The third and fourth options were similar, but connected the Àeld house to the existing high school. In each case there would be both public and school access points to the facility and additional parking is planned to accom-

There’s a process and an active part of being a citizen is being prepared.”

About 400 ninth through 12th grade students preregistered through a Google Document distributed in Connections classrooms [home room]. The form emulated actual voter registration asking for address and drivers’ license or class identiÀcation numbers. But only about half of those who committed to registration actually voted.

“I was a little disappointed. We were hoping for more

registrants and more turnout.

But it’s also the Àrst time the high school has done a mock election in many, many years.

Sometimes these things take time to build,” Anderson said. “But the 18- to 25-year old age group has the lowest voting rates of anyone in our country, so it’s really not surprising high school students who are even younger voted at such low rates.”

In addition to the activity, Anderson’s AP and gradelevel government classes have spent considerable amount of time on the presidential election this fall. They have been following the campaigns and discussing the media’s role in the election.

“We talked after every

single debate in class about what we thought was important and what stood out to us about the candidates. It’s easy to see that no one is really happy with the candidates we have to choose from this year, but we do a good job of keeping it civil and allowing everyone to talk. You don’t walk into the classroom and feel your opinion is being drowned. Everyone has a voice,” Glen said.

Following the release of the SRRHS and the statewide results, Anderson and her classes will follow-up on the election with analysis. They plan to look at the school’s voting percentage and turnout by grade level, as well as, compare their data to those of

OPINION

Your role

If you have been praying and asking God to show you who to vote for, you will cast your vote for the candidate who will best protect our constitution by appointing judges without immoral agendas. And who will help save innocent human lives and ground our children with more stability.

But it’s not that simple. It will take more effort than your much needed vote this Tuesday, Nov. 8, to restore hope. Pray that we as a nation feel conviction. If we By Mercy Nygaard see things like the undercover videos of Life by Faith Planned Parenthood harvesting baby parts, and we feel no conviction, then God help us. Engraved on Jefferson's memorial it reads this, “Indeed I tremble for my country when I reÁect that God is just. That His justice cannot sleep forever.” If you Ànd yourself out carousing in drunkenness and distractions at a time like now, it’s OK to feel conviction. Thank Him that you still feel in a time when we are being so numbed by self indulgences.

After conviction, come to repentance. I had to recently do this as I have succumbed to distractions. After some heartbreak between me and my oldest daughter, after it mulled around deep in my chest, I saw the seriousness and asked for forgiveness.

Sometimes God lets us feel hurt from our heartbreaking to get us into fellowship with Him. Time to crack The Book I never should have left. Time to get on my knees. Time to pour in. Yes, life gets busy, but losing fellowship with God is never worth it. Pray that we as a nation come to repentance.

So, effort on our part is going to look like praying and it’s going to look like doing in the form of pouring into our families and children. Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. There are children without father Àgures, being trained up in the way they should not go, starving to hear the truth everywhere, and you can be that inÁuence to point them to the light at church, school, work, on the metro. Use your freedom of speech to speak light.

And do not despair after this election, regardless the outcome. If your candidate does not get chosen, if there is voter fraud, if there is a Russian attack, if we lose religious freedoms.

I love the way the creator of The Truth Project, Dr. Del Tackett, explains our role regardless our circumstances: We are in a battle that has been fought by our forefathers for thousands of years. And, it also appears to me that this is part of a great sifting within the Body of Christ.

We have been preserved for this time. If we need to go underground, then we will do so.

If we have to return to slowly impact our culture through personal, one-on-one relationships, then I think we will have been forced back into His original desire anyway. If we are forced to encourage one another in smaller groups, then that might well be for the best.

Do not be dismayed, dear Remnant. The giants in the land are nothing in His sight. We are here by His providential hand and we will stand…by His might and by His strength.

Be of great cheer!

Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.

Because of the success of the health fair, PÁipsen is conÀdent another health fair is in the near future.

SAUK RAPIDS – Smoothies, free eye exams, free food and a Áu shot all came from one place Oct. 27 as vendors gathered for the Sauk Rapids-Rice Community Health and Wellness fair at the high school.

“I feel the health fair helped by informing people about what our community has to offer,” said Amanda PÁipsen, event organizer and nurse for the district.

“Sauk Rapids-Rice and the surrounding areas are so full of resources and opportunities for health; it is all about connecting our community.”

The smoothies handed out by Blue Cross Blue Shield were a hit, but the recipients had to work for them by hopping on a bike and blending the smoothies themselves.

The Benton County Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP) booth also attracted a lot of people by offering an herb-planting activity.

Many vendors had handouts, resources and prizes, adding to the overall experience.

“The time, decoration and theme execution by the vendors was beyond impressive,”

a gun out of the kitchen sink and began shooting at them.

“The simulator didn’t tell us if she shot us Àrst or if we shot her Àrst, but the point is, in real life, in that situation, we’d probably be dead. We weren’t trained and we were focused on him,” Ehlert said. “Police ofÀcers have to act quickly on split decisions. Their job is to eliminate the threat. It was a real eye-opener.”

In addition to the handson activity, the classroom had an open discussion about media portrayal of law enforcement whether Àctional or in the news. They talked about racial proÀling, the recent shootings of both civilians and ofÀcers across the country and debunked some myths about police work on television crime shows such as CSI:Crime

Scene Investigation. The class heard about the affects of shooting someone from ofÀcers who knew Àrst-hand.

“For lack of better words, they are treated almost like criminals. As soon as that happens, they take their shoes, their clothes everything except their underwear and socks.

They have to go home in something else because that’s evidence. We don’t see that side,” Ehlert said. “They don’t go down to the pub and drink a beer after shooting someone like in Àctional shows. It’s just not that way. That’s not real life. These people are emotional — some of them quit the business and get out of law enforcement after something like that.”

Monday, October 10, 2016 BOARD CONSENT/WORK STUDY SESSION SRRHS Board Conference Room E226 5:30 p.m.

A Work Session of the Sauk Rapids-Rice ISD 47 Board of Education was called to order by Chair Hauck Monday, October10, 2016, at Àve thirty p.m. in the SRRHS Board Room of said district.

ROLL CALL Members present included Braun, Hauck, Holthaus, Fiereck, Morse, Rogholt and Solarz. Others present were Superintendent Bittman, Business Manager Eisenschenk, and Director of Teaching and Learning Bushman.

APPROVAL OF MEETING AGENDA A motion was made by Braun, seconded by Rogholt and unanimously carried to approve the meeting’s “Agenda.”

ROUTINE CONSENT AGENDA A motion was made by Solarz, seconded by Holthaus and carried by margin of six with Rogholt abstaining to approve the meeting’s “Consent Agenda.”

WORK STUDY TOPICS Facility Study Update Superintendent Bittman and Architect Paul Youngquist provided an update on progress made since the Community Task Force last met, as well as information received from Community Listening Sessions thus far. Dr. Bittman indicated that community members who have attended listening sessions have most frequently commented they: • Appreciate the process and continued transparency • Recognize the need for additional space throughout the District • Are supportive of the community’s recommendations • Would like additional information about costs and possible tax impact when decisions are made • Hope the Board of Education considers keeping part of Pleasantview Elementary (i.e. nonpod areas) • Would like an opportunity to tour Pleasantview Elementary to learn more about whether it makes sense to complete deferred maintenance projects or build new • Are curious about whether the District will seek an operating referendum if recommendations are accepted and approved • Now understand why having open enrollment is Ànancially beneÀcial for the District, and appreciate knowing the District limits open enrollment already • Appreciate the District being responsive to questions and always being available to meet • Wonder if/when the District will need to add space at the Middle and High School • Would like to learn more about a Community Fieldhouse • Are curious about when schools and/or athletic facilities would be built and ready to serve students and families • Would like to have at least two questions on a ballot, one of which would be speciÀc to Pleasantview Elementary Both the architect and Dr. Bittman indicated that input from the Community Listening Sessions would be brought to the Board of Education in December for discussion, and that the Board would be asked to make decisions regarding a special election no later than March. A special election would likely be held in May 2017.

Strategic Planning Superintendent Bittman facilitated a discussion regarding the District’s Strategic Plan, which includes academic achievement and excellence, safe and personalized learning environments, Àscal responsibility and accountability, communication and engagement, and leadership effectiveness.

Board members had an opportunity to discuss how the District has evolved over the last ten years, and progress that has been made in each of the priority areas. Board members also had an opportunity to talk about areas that need to continue to be evaluated and considered as strategic plans are adjusted. Areas included, but were not limited to, class size reduction, safety and security, open enrollment, and district services. Board members asked that a Director of Human Resources and Administrative Services be considered and that updated enrollment information be brought to the next Board meeting so that decisions related to open enrollment be Ànalized for the 2016 – 2017 school year.

Submitting Legislative Resolutions Superintendent Bittman and Board member Fiereck led a discussion regarding the process used for submitting Legislative resolutions to the Minnesota School Board Association. Board members had the opportunity to ask questions and/or submit ideas for possible submission. Board members unanimously supported a resolution related to the Legislature funding the Telecommunications/Internet Access Equity Aid established by Minnesota Statute 125B.26, and asked the Superintendent to work with the Minnesota School Board Association on behalf of the District.

ADJOURNMENT With no further business appearing before the Board, a motion was made by Rogholt, seconded by Fiereck and unanimously carried to adjourn the meeting at 8:05 p.m.

for the class was the length of course time. He thought four hours a week would drag on and become boring, but he was proved wrong.

“There’s a lot of stuff. It went fast. I can’t believe how fast the time went. We’re on our eighth week and it was like,” Ehlert said snapping his Àngers. “And each night went by that quickly too because it was so impactful.”

As for law enforcement, Ehlert’s opinion hasn’t changed much — he’s still unbiased. He believes ofÀcers are doing a job they are paid to do. But he does believe people would have more respect for law enforcement processes if they were educated more.

“You know how much we hear from TV and media,” Ehlert said. “What do you think they hear and see? Sometimes they’ve got to believe it’s open season on their heads.

How do you deal with that?

How do you get up and go to work? The tension has gotten so high and how you change it, I don’t know. It’s just going to take time without incidences to calm this down.”

a ride-along opportunity and much more. Although the course parallels curriculum of ofÀcer candidates, the instruction is purely information-only and does not promote the citizen to act in a law enforcement capacity.

“We went to the shooting range and shot their pistols, we had the option of being tasered or to learn how Tasers work, we learned defensive driving tactics and had the opportunity to use police simulators,” Ehlert said.

The simulator was an informative experience for Ehlert. Its purpose was to mimic reality of various police calls. Students were able to interact with the characters in the simulator in real-time.

In one scenario, Ehlert and his partner were responding to a domestic call. According to Ehlert, a woman answered the door, invited the ofÀcers into her home and explained to them that her husband was drunk, had a gun and was threatening to kill the people in the home. As Ehlert and his partner were speaking with the woman, her husband appeared from behind a wall.

He had a bottle of liquor in one hand and was acting vulgar. The husband disappeared behind another wall and the simulated ofÀcers [Ehlert and his partner] ordered him to show himself as they wanted to make sure they knew what he was doing. With the attention on the husband, the woman had already backed away from the ofÀcers. She grabbed

Out of magic Storm loses 3-0 to Monticello

by MARK KLAPHAKE STAFF WRITER

The playoff run for the Sauk Rapids-Rice volleyball team came to an abrupt end in the section quarterÀnals.

The Àfth seeded Storm lost 25-22, 25-23, 25-22 to the fourth seeded Monticello Magic Oct. 28 in Monticello.

SRR was hoping to avenge an earlier season Àve-set home loss to the Magic but it didn’t happen.

“It was a mixture of different things; we would be called for a double touch on a set or have an error on a hit or block. Nothing glaring,” said SRR Head Coach Dave Anderson. “They made

some nice plays and dug some good balls.”

The Magic had a diverse attack between hitting and tipping that restricted the Storm offense.

“They mixed up their attack and tipped and that kept us off balance. We couldn’t get fully in sync on what we wanted to do,” Anderson said.

The Storm was also hoping to keep the Magic on their heels serving but SRR Ànished with just one ace serve in 68 serves.

“I don’t think our serving was as aggressive as it needs to be. We needed to take them out of their offensive system,” Anderson said.

Junior Angela Konz was a bright spot for SRR. She Ànished with team highs in kills, 9, and blocks, 4.

“She did very well,” Anderson said.

Staci Meyer was the team leader in assists; she had 14. Bailey Becker and Abby Duray both had 12 digs for the Storm.

The loss dampened a strong end of the season for the Storm. They started the season a little slow, 1-4, as many new faces adapted to their roles and positions but continued to improve throughout the season. They Ànished fourth in the Central Lakes Conference and had an overall record of 15-13.

“We did lose eight seniors and coming in we had

a lot of inexperience,” Anderson said. “We gained a lot of valuable experience and will be ready for next season.”

This year the squad graduates two players, defensive specialist Brooke Torvik and setter Allison Stedje.

SRR def. Brainerd, 25-16, 25-19, 25-18 The Storm controlled the three sets and won their playoff opener Oct. 26 in Sauk Rapids.

“Overall we played a complete match,” Anderson said. “We didn’t give them much hope.”

SRR was in charge from the onset. Meyer had an ace serve on the Àrst point of the night and they never trailed the rest of the Àrst game.

The Storms serving was especially effective in the game. SRR had six ace serves.

The second set was a lot different at the start, but the outcome was great for SRR. The Storm trailed 10-8 but rallied back. Becker had a couple ace serve to ignite the rally.

Brainerd held a small, 6-3, lead early in the third set before the Storm rallied and won.

“I thought we served and passed well. Our girls were focused and ready to play and that showed in the outcome of the match,” Anderson said.

Becker Ànished the night 20-20 serving with Àve aces.

Bailey Roscoe had three ace serves for the Storm.

Becker had nine kills to pace the squad.

Morgan Maselter and Soleil Newland each added Àve. Abbey Duray and Brooke Torvik had six digs for the Storm.

The Storm football team ended their season Oct. 25, falling to a tough St. Cloud Tech team.

For coach Phil Klaphake, he now has his Àrst season under his belt and is excited moving forward.

“I had a blast being able to coach high school kids,” Klaphake said. “While our record isn’t necessarily something we are proud of, we recognize we play in a tough league and we want to become one of those tough teams. We want other teams to dread facing us on a Friday night.”

Klaphake is looking forward to working with the athletes in the off-season, Ànding ways to help them grow and prepare for next fall.

The Storm’s Àrst touchdown in the Àrst quarter was signiÀcant, however. Gage Dooley threw a 64-yard pass to Nathan Waldorf, followed by a successful extra point from Tommy Wittowski.

The Storm scored again on a 16-yard pass from Dooley to Braden Tretter in the third quarter, followed by the extra point.

A 33-yard pass from Dooley to Koby Thelen and a twopoint conversion closely followed that play.

“It was fun to make some plays and take some charge in the second half. We had some younger kids on the Àeld that really played hard,” said Klaphake. “We struggled early on, in a number of areas, so it was fun to see a bit of a comeback on our end to make things interesting.”

The Storm had a total of 274 passing yards and 11 rushing yards.

Stats: Passing – Dooley 10-20 244 yds. 3TD; Milton-Baumgardner 4-10 30 yds.

Rushing – Dooley 7-43; Thelen 1-3; Carlson-Mathies 2; Milton-Baumgardner 1- -10.

Receiving – Waldorf 3-88 TD; Tretter 5-79 TD; Thelen 2-56 TD; Carlson-Mathies 3-50; DeMars 1-2.

our kids as we push this program forward,” Klaphake said.

Looking back on the season, Klaphake loved seeing the progress.

“As a Àrst-year head coach here, it was a lot of fun to see the changes. The things we focused on at the beginning of the season weren’t what we focused on at the end. By the end, I felt like I was teaching football, rather than just pieces of it,” Klaphake said. “I was lucky to have a great coaching staff around me who have been doing this for years. I am looking forward to continuing to work with our athletes and preparing for next season.”

U12 wins state soccer championship

Ringger, Sunstrom narrowly miss state

Sam Ringger has had a successful cross country season. As a sophomore, he made all-conference and placed 13th at the section meet Oct. 27 in Little Falls, nearly qualifying for the state run.

“Even though he didn’t make state, he has two years left running with the Storm,” said coach Marie Zeilenga.

“I’m conÀdent he will run in the state meet before he graduates.”

Ringger crossed the Ànish line with a time of 16:44.57.

Following him, Logan Leavey

That was refreshing. We had great running, great sportsmanship, great leadership and new friendships were made.

Our team continues to get better each year, so I’m very excited for what’s to come.”

The Central Minnesota Youth Soccer Association (CMYSA) Girls Under-12 team defeated four teams, in four shutouts, en route to the Fall State Championship in Rochester. CMYSA was among 41 teams that played fall league through the MN Youth Soccer Association.

Eight of these teams in CMYSA’s age and competitive level qualiÀed for the state championship.

Single elimination play on Oct. 15 resulted in a 7-0 win over RichÀeld Soccer Association and a 0-0 tie with River Falls, earning CMYSA a spot in the semiÀnals. A 2-0 semiÀnal victory on Sunday over Dakota Rev led to the championship game, a 3-0 win over Hastings Futbol Club United.

The team increased their cumulative fall team record to 11-0-1. Most impressive is they only had two goals scored against them the entire season.

The team, coached by Stuart Perry and Kevin Quinn, is made up of thirteen girls who will be attending Tech, Apollo, Cathedral, Sartell, Sauk Rapids and St. John's Prep in the future.

The Lumberjacks would reverse the lead 3-2 during power plays with a late Àrst period goal by Tucker Bjorlin from Cole Buhl and Baker, and a second period goal from Braden Altena from Ryan Smith and Matthew Sprink. Sabina and his team rallied and scored at the beginning of the third and held off any additional scoring from the Lumberjack team. Drake Hill tallied the assist on that goal.

Granite City’s tender Mac Berglove saved 31 of 35 shots on goal during the game, Moore 26 of 29. The North Stars sat 14 minutes on seven infractions and the Jacks 18 on nine.

Parents’ names: Brad and Linda Becker Grade: 11 What do you enjoy most about volleyball? The thing I enjoy most about volleyball would have to be the team atmosphere, and the fact you always have to work together to be successful. I also love the feeling you get when someone gets a good kill or makes a great save that gets everyone on the team pumped up.

Four girls on the Storm swim team received the highest conference honor Oct. 29, all-conference.

Anna Lucas, Ella Benoit, Mikayla Zaske and Sabel Omvongkot took second place in the 200-medley relay.

Lucas also took second in the 200 individual medley and Àrst in the 100 freestyle. E. Benoit took third in the 100 breaststroke.

The team also had a number of honorable mentions.

Mya Reinert took sixth in the 200 freestyle and fourth in the 500 freestyle. Abigail Tangen took sixth in the 500 freestyle.

The team of Madi Davis, Lucas, Reinert and Omvongkot took third in the 400 freestyle relay.

The team Ànished the meet in fourth place.

“It was right where we Àgured we would end up,” said coach Ray Nelson. “It is always fun to see how we compete against this tough conference, which is so strong and deep. It’s a lot of fun to see the Storm towards the top.”

The team will continue their season at the Section 5A competition in Becker Nov. 10-12.

“We have a number of goals that we look forward to every season. One of them is always to perform well at sections and see how many athletes and relays we can have qualify for the state meet,” Nelson said. “We have a number of opportunities this season to reach the state meet, something that we work the

What’s the best game you’ve ever been a part of? One of the best games I’ve ever played in would be when we went to Alexandria this year and beat them on their home court.

After being down multiple times, we came back to beat them in Àve games. Another game would have to be when we beat Willmar on their home court in the second round of playoffs last year after losing to them a week earlier.

I also am looking forward to playing in jazz band competitions and participating in student council and NHS activities.
