Things were tight through the first couple of innings during the Carlton and Wrenshall baseball game Tuesday. That changed in the top of the third when the Bulldogs plated 12 runs and eventually coasted to a 21-2 win at Braun Park. "I thought their pitcher (Zeke Rousseau) pitched well for them at the beginning," said Carlton coach Ryan Schmidt. "I also thought our starter, Joey Solomon, did a nice job in his three innings pitched. He struck out three and just did a nice job." The offensive...
When Carlton's Abby Mitchell and Wrenshall's Brooke Kent took to the mound Tuesday night, not many people could have predicted the insane numbers the pair would put up in the strikeout department. The two combined for 35 strikeouts in a 6-1 Bulldog victory over the Wrens at Cloquet's Braun Park. "I expected Abby to be around the plate hard in practice and that hard work is paying off," said first-year Carlton coach Brent Pokornowski of his freshman pitcher. "She has worked hard in practice and t...
A five-run first inning helped to propel South Ridge to an impressive 8-6 road win over host Esko last Thursday night. "We knew going into the game that we had to get some runs on the board early," said first-year Panthers coach Aaron Weber. "We had a few big hits in the first inning and maybe caught them off guard a bit, which doesn't happen much to Esko." Connor Bushbaum, Jackson O'Bey, Aaron Bennett, Carter Anderson and Austin Josephson all scored in the first inning to help kickstart the...
There’s a saying in the sports world that stats don’t lie. The Minnesota Wilderness found that out firsthand as red-hot Aberdeen flew into town for games Friday and Saturday. The Wings came into the weekend sporting a gaudy record, a potent offense, a stingy defense and they proved their mettle with a 7-1 win on Friday and a 7-2 rout on Saturday over the hometown Wilderness. “Overall they have a very deep roster that plays extremely disciplined in their structure,” said Wilderness coach Jon Val...
Two steps forward, one step back. After bouncing back from a 2020 season nixed by the pandemic, the state's 5-year-old boys volleyball league faced another setback Tuesday when the 48-member legislative body of the Minnesota State High School League members did not approve a request to sanction the sport. Cloquet coach Kelsey Motzko had been hoping it would pass this time. "I think it's been a long time coming," she said. "The interest is there." While the majority of the representatives voted...

It’s that time again when we need to meet to decide what events we are having at this year’s Wrong Days in Wright celebration.

Workers for Andrew Elias Enterprises tackled one of their more challenging roofing jobs last month when they repaired part of the roof at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Cloquet. Our Savior's pastor Chris Hill said the roof had some wind damage from two storms in 2020 that necessitated the repairs, which are now complete....
Photographer Dana Malkovich loves to visit Jay Cooke State Park, especially at this time of year when the first wildflowers of spring line the park's trails. "One needs a sharp eye," he said, "because the blossoms are not as large or showy as our garden flowers, and they often last no longer than a few days." The hepatica are his favorite, which makes sense for a retired physician. They are named "because of a supposed resemblance of the leaves to the lobes of a liver ... The blossoms come in...
