Esko boys basketball coach Derek Anderson on his team, which begins Section 7AA tournament play in a first-round home game next week against a yet-to-be-determined opponent – "I think we need to cut down on our turnovers, box out, and move the ball as a team. If we do those things we should have a good chance of extending our season. We also need to focus on staying engaged for an entire game and getting locked in on the defensive end. We are looking forward to the playoffs."

Note: Section 7AA bracket ... Esko (17-8) lost to host Annandale 74-73 in overtime on Thursday night ... Pequot Lakes defeated Esko 77-59 in the 7AA final last season .. Esko defeated other potential 2023-24 7AA high seeds Pequot Lakes 50-40 on Feb. 6 and Crosby-Ironton 82-70 on Feb. 20 ... Esko’s top players are 6-foot-6 senior post Braedyn Male, 6-2 junior scoring phenom Sam Haugen and 6-1 senior guard Makoi Perich.

Hawks enter fall with contenders, questions and unfinished business

That is the broad Hermantown picture entering training camp starting Aug. 17. Football and girls cross-country should expect to contend for section championships. Boys soccer and volleyball return enough proven talent to make deep playoff runs realistic.

Howie: Durrwachter has become the council’s most trusted voice

The council is not an advisory committee to the mayor. It is a separate branch of city government, obligated to scrutinize administrative proposals, protect public money and represent residents whose voices cannot be heard from behind the closed doors of City Hall.
