If not for the pandemic, this would be the sixth consecutive year the Cloquet boys cross country team competed in the Class AA state meet. Last year the state meet was canceled due to Covid-19 restrictions, so this trip will be the Lumberjacks' fifth.

It was certainly a team effort. Cloquet...

"It came right down to the end and we were able to hang in there and get a win."

The Esko football team is loaded with speed, talent, and power. All three of those elements were on display Saturday as the Eskomos blasted their way to a 43-14 win over Rock Ridge in Esko in the Section 7AAA semifinals.

Tony Sheda, Wrenshall Editor’s note: The Pine Knot News was able to talk to Carlton County Sheriff Kelly Lake about the incident we reported on in the Oct. 15 issue. She s...
