What is one of your mom’s traits you admire most?

Samiir Ali

Mother: Binto Bulle

“She is supportive. She really supports me in what I do. I have had good days and rough times; sometimes I don’t really expect my mom to support me, but she’s always been there for me.”

Steve Kron

Mother: Cindee Kron

“She’s creative. She displays it through games with the grandkids. She keeps all the grandkids entertained.”

Sarah Rose

Mother: Diane Schellinger

“She’s always positive and always in an upbeat mood. Positivity is probably my favorite trait about her.”

Breanna Irwin

Mother: Heather Olberding

“She is a social butterfly. She is very outgoing and loves people. I have picked that up, and I just love people too.”

Erin Finke

Mother: Dawn Holle

“My mom is a single mom of three. She worked really hard to make sure we had everything we needed. I admire that in her: her work ethic and determination.”

Kim Kron

Mother: Linda Peterson

“I would say creativity. She likes sewing, arts and crafts. She’s great with homemade, heartfelt gifts.”

Rapid fire

What makes your mom the best mom?

Sauk Rapids Herald staff visited the parks and streets of Sauk Rapids May 9 to hear community members’ responses about the person they call Mom.

Brevon Lesner

Mother: Kirsten Wienzierl

“The fact that she gave birth to me is pretty cool. Holding me for nine months in her womb and actually taking care of me, even with all the stuff I have done. Kids are terrible, and the fact she dealt with that is fantastic. She is very caring and supportive even to this day. I would say that makes her one of the best moms.”

Michael Twiss

Mother: Loraine Twiss

“When she was alive, she was the best mom because she always believed in me. She always gave me inspiration to do the things I wanted to.”

Storm softball sweeps Alex, celebrates seniors

SRR already has 6-win season

BY MORGAN EGGERT | STAFF WRITER

The Sauk Rapids-Rice softball team has been busy dodging the rain while sprinkling in much-needed victories.

SRR swept Alexandria, winning 9-1 and 3-1, in a doubleheader May 4 in Alexandria. The win came at an important time after a loss to Brainerd May 2 at Sauk Rapids-Rice High School in Sauk Rapids.

In game one against Alexandria, the Storm scored three runs in the rst inning and ve more in the sixth. Taylor Lamoureux was 3-for3 with an RBI and two runs scored, Riley Turck added two hits while scoring twice, and Vivian Kusilek drove in three runs on two hits, including a double.

Pitcher Ava Knutson gave up four hits, striking out 14 to get the win.

In the game two win, Kusilek had two hits while Lamoureux, Campbell Arndt and Morgan Dorn had one each. Knutson struck out ve batters while giving up four hits for the win.

Storm head coach Emily McEwan said she was happy with the recent performances.

“During our games against Alexandria, they did everything we asked for,” McEwan said.

“They played as a team, they had composure, they attacked the ball,

and our pitcher dominated in the circle and had a con dence we haven’t seen yet. I’m very proud of our leaders and the way we executed.”

On a cold, rainy day May 6 at the SRR Invitational at Bob Cross Park in Sauk Rapids, the Storm played against Proctor, Maple Lake and Thief River Falls/Goodridge. They ended the day winning one of three games.

The Storm lost to Proctor 3-0 and Maple Lake 11-1 before defeating TF/G 14-4.

Against TRF/G, the Storm scored six runs in the rst and third innings to pull away. Turck drove in three runs, Lamoureux, Dorn and Bailey Seaman had two each, while Arndt and Kendal Craft each drove in one run.

Knutson pitched a four-hitter, striking out six, to get the win.

The Storm took on the Rocori Spartans May 9 at the SRRHS elds, losing 11-0.

“It wasn’t our best game, but we were aggressive at the plate, which I love to see,” McEwan said. “We attacked the ball early and made their defense make plays. I focused on talking, cheering and calling out plays for my teammates to get outs faster,” said Vivian Kusilek, sophomore center elder.

As the Spartan’s lead grew and the rain started, SRR needed to stay focused on the game.

“I had to forget the score and continue to push the team,” said Kendal Craft, senior right elder. “If we continue to worry and stress over the score, we as a team tend to roll over and not play to our full potential.”

Although the Storm fell against the Spartans, there were many highlights.

“A key highlight was our pitcher Ava,” Craft said. “Not many seventh graders can say they pitched as well as she did in a varsity game against one of the best teams in the sections and on top of it in the rain.”

The seniors, Marissa Mohs and Craft, were also acknowledged by their coaches and their teammates on Senior

Night.

“It is always a great night when we get to honor our seniors,” McEwan said. “It takes a lot of dedication to play a sport throughout your entire high school career, and we have great seniors this year.”

The Storm have surpassed last year’s winning record. At 6-7, SRR is excited for the rest of the season.

“The team is doing very well meshing together and including everyone; it feels like a little family,” Craft said. “We have been successful at playing well and never getting down on each other or the team.”

The Storm will nish the regular season Tuesday, May 16, against the Tigers at Princeton High School in Princeton.
