After opening on the road with tough back-to-back losses, the Cloquet-Esko-Carlton boys hockey team hoped a little home cooking would get them back on track and in the win column. Unfortunately the 'Jacks dropped tough home losses on Friday and Saturday to Chaska and White Bear Lake, respectively. Friday night the Lumberjacks fell to Chaska 4-0, which had split its first two games of the season by beating Eastview and then losing to Eveleth-Gilbert Area on Thursday, the night before they played...
Both the Cromwell-Wright and Barnum boys basketball teams pride themselves on playing tough, hard-nosed defense. All of that and more was on display Tuesday night as the Cards opened their season with a 45-35 home win over the Bombers.

The presence of this ancient lake is an important part of the Nemadji River story. We know the Nemadji River basin has an...

There was nothing Jim Hagen enjoyed more than going to a Lumberjacks game - unless it was spending time with family. Hagen was all about local athletics, even earning the Lumberjack Super Fan of the Year Award at the annual athletic banquet in 2011. Jim died unexpectedly in February 2016 at the age of 70. His obituary noted that he was known as the "Boss of the back door" at the Cloquet Senior High gym where he collected tickets for Cloquet boys and girls basketball games. So it seemed fitting...
