Hermantown went 1-1 in a pair of Delano boys basketball holiday tournament games last week, losing to Delano 85-61 before blitzing Monticello 80-63. The Hawks (5-5), who are led by 6-foot-5 senior power forward Abe Soumis, will visit Rock Ridge at 7:15 p.m. Friday and face Becker in Lake Superior Classic game at 5 p.m. Saturday at Duluth East Gym.

. . .

Hermantown will again be a heavy favorite against Proctor when the traditional Lake Superior Conference high school boys hockey rivals meet Tuesday night in Proctor.

The Class 1A/ No. 1-ranked Hawks are 6-2-2 overall and coming off a 4-0 loss at Class 2A/No. 9 Shakopee last Friday night. The Rails (9-4-0) have played an embarrassingly weak schedule again this season.

Hermantown's elite players are junior forward River Freeman, sophomore forward-defenseman AJ Francisco and senior goaltender Dane Callaway.

Howie: Bayfront still may be Duluth’s best idea

Bayfront remains one of the few places where the city still functions the way a healthy city is supposed to function: as a shared public space where people continue gathering together because they genuinely want to be there. Every summer, Duluth remembers that again.

Howie: While others talked revival, Gary Doty did the work

Survival, for many old industrial American cities during the late twentieth century, became the central challenge itself. Doty helped Duluth survive long enough to rediscover confidence in itself again. That is not a minor civic legacy.
