When Elizabeth Wilcox signed
up her daughter, Allie Wilcox, to
compete in a local pageant, the two
didn’t know what to expect. Allie
thought it would be a fun alternative
to tennis camp, and her mom liked
that the promotional materials said
the pageant focused on confidence,
not beauty standards.
As the competition grew closer,
the Golden Valley family began to
realize just how intense the pageant
circuit could be. Allie said it wasn’t
until she stepped foot into rehears-

she’s met friends far out-

speaking engagements

The most recent was an
invitation by Golden Val-

introduce herself to the

she will be yet,” Elizabeth
Wilcox said.
Moments of serendipity
Allie’s favorite part
about pageants is all of
the little coincidences that
she’s encountered along
the way. In her first year,
the top finisher was a fel-
low Breck classmate whom
she had never met.
At nationals last year in
Las Vegas, she and another
competitor danced to the
same song in the same cos-
tume, back to back.
“I was about to yell,
‘Wrong music! That’s my
daughter’s song!” Eliza-
beth Wilcox said. “But the
other girl didn’t say any-
thing and just kept per-
forming. Both girls had
darker hair, and I remem-
ber thinking, ‘What are
the judges going to think
about this? Déjà vu!’”
Allie’s most surprising
coincidence to date has
been with Elísabet Hulda
Snorradóttir, who was
crowned Miss Universe
Iceland in 2020. Scrolling
through Instagram, Eliza-
beth Wilcox realized Allie
and Elísabet had quite a
bit in common: they were
both Icelandic, and knew
the Chinese language.
Elísabet’s crowning date
was on Allie’s birthday.
The two were able to con-
nect at the Miss Universe

competition, where Al-
lie and family traveled to
cheer Elísabet on.
“You can’t explain this,”
Elizabeth Wilcox said. “It
just happens.”
These moments of ser-
endipity have assured the
Wilcox family that pageant
life is where they’re meant
to be.
On the road
to nationals
Allie isn’t sure whether
she’d be the same person
if she’d never entered a
pageant.
“I was kind of confident
before pageants, but doing
pageants helped me a lot,”
she said. “I don’t think I’d
be quite the same without
them.”
As the national compe-
tition draws closer, Allie is
(SUBMITTED PHOTO)
beginning to practice for
the events she will compete
in. The least of her worries
is the interview portion.
“I have so much exciting
stuff to tell the judges,” she
explained.
It can be one of the
most intimidating events
for participants, as they
are speaking directly with
the judges for the first
time. Luckily, Allie is very
comfortable talking with
adults, said her mother.
Until then, she remains
busy with her other extra-
curriculars. Allie said an
ideal day off would include
drawing, a chocolate pas-
try for a snack, and maybe
a game of chess with her
dad. If they did play, she’d
go easy on him.
“He’s not as good as I
am – yet,” she said.

TANICK’S TAKE
Golden Valley’s
Sid Hartman
advanced First
Amendment, too
This month marks
the first anniversary of
the death of Sid Hart-
man, one of the most
well-known figures in the
sporting world in Min-
nesota and, for that mat-
ter, the country. “Sid,” as
everyone knew him, was
often a one-word moni-
ker, like Liberace without
the candelabra or Cher
without the feathers. Al-
though a household word
in these parts, his presence
in the quad communities
was not as well-noted.
But the iconic journal-
ist, who passed away on
Oct. 18 last year, some
seven months after his
100th birthday, had part-
time residence in Golden
Valley, and was occa-
sionally spotted at local
haunts like Lunds & Byer-
lys and Mort’s Deli. His
principal residence was at
a not-so-modest cottage
along the St. Croix River
(on the Minnesota side,
naturally). Incidentally,
Sid’s Star Tribune sports
columnist colleague and
his biographer Patrick
Reusse has resided in
Golden Valley, too.
In addition to Sid’s
columns, articles, and
appearances on radio
and television, the seem-
ingly omnipresent, often
peripatetic, and always
indefatigable north Min-
neapolis native played
a role in advancing the
First Amendment rights
of freedom of speech and
press.
That Sid saga is worth
recalling on the first an-
niversary of the death
of the part time Golden
Valley-ite.
Hartman worked his
way up, from an impov-
erished newsboy hawk-
ing newspapers during
the Great Depression
to a nearly eight-decade
career with the Star Tri-
bune. But it was radio that
propelled the legendary

into the throes of libel or
defamation litigation and
the Constitutional law
textbooks.
More than two decades
ago, the star of the Sun-
day morning “Sports
Huddle” talk show on
WCCO radio, hosted
by public relations mo-
gul Dave Mona, made a
number of deprecatory
statements about a for-
mer team physician and
surgeon for the Universi-
ty of Minnesota Gopher
football team, including
questioning his motiva-
tion for being critical of
ex-coach Lou Holtz, one
of several sports figures
that Sid deemed to be a
close, personal friend of
his. Sid went on to im-
pugn the surgeon’s medi-
cal competence while op-
erating upon some of the
squad’s injured players.
The doctor sued for
defamation, claiming that
Sid’s statements harmed
his reputation.
Defamation decision
The suit against Sid ran
into First Amendment
obstacles. A Hennepin
County District Court
judge tossed the case out
on grounds that the doc-
tor was a “limited pur-
pose public figure” and
could not establish that
Sid spoke with the requi-
site “actual malice,” con-
sisting of knowing false
and reckless disregard
for the truth under the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
La Mere-Anderson
‘practical and pragmatic’
To the Editor:
I am excited for my friend and neigh-
bor, Denise La Mere-Anderson, to be
running for Golden Valley City Council.
I want to share why she will be an excel-
lent councilperson for all of us. Denise
is one of the warmest and big-hearted
persons I have ever known. I was thrilled
when we became coworkers 10 years ago.
By getting to work with Denise in human
resources I witnessed firsthand what a
practical and pragmatic professional she
is, and her extensive HR experience is ab-
solutely one of the reasons she is an excel-
lent candidate for council. As a friend,
she is steadfast and true, she is the friend
who is there for you without asking, she
has a sixth sense for compassion and she
always has an open door for listening.
What Denise can bring to our Golden
Valley City Council is depth and breadth
of experiences built on her demonstrated
leadership, ability to be both strategic in
planning and her skill in execution. She
knows how to get things done efficiently,
effectively, and collectively. She can do
this because she listens deeply to hear
other’s points of view and can develop
action plans that address true issues, en-
gaging stakeholders proactively and can
mediate conflicts as they arise. What I
respect about Denise’s style is how she
lives out her values – she doesn’t just talk
about them. She is a person that will be
transparent and create an open environ-
ment where any resident can come to her
and be genuinely heard. She has been
active on various committees and I have
seen her interactions, she treats our city
staff with the respect and praise that they
deserve. This is essential for one of the
key issues for her is she wants to renew
the community’s vision for public safety
by expanding the tools our officers have
to respond to crisis situations. When
police have a diverse tool kit to respond

established by the U.S. Supreme
Court in 1964 in the landmark
case of New York Times Co. v.
Sullivan, which necessitates a
defamation claimant prove that
the offensive remarks were made
with knowing falsity or reckless
disregard for the truth if the mat-
ter involves a notable “public fig-
ure” or a is a matter of “public
concern.”
The Minnesota Court of Ap-
peals affirmed the ruling in a case
entitled Hunter v. Hartman, de-
cided 35 years ago this month.
But its decision veered off in a
different direction, holding that
the defamatory claims were not
actionable due to a quarter of
legal doctrines. Sid’s remarks
were “mere rhetorical hyper-
bole,” protected under the First
Amendment, rather than stat-
ing “actual facts” that could be
deemed defamatory. They also
were constitutionally-protected
statements of opinion. They
were also regarded as “substan-
tially true,” and, if that wasn’t
enough to cut off the surgeon’s
lawsuit, they were “supportable
interpretations of ambiguous
underlying situations.”
In upholding dismissal of the
case, the court repeatedly point-
ed to the context of sports talk
herently ambiguous “forum”
composed of “obviously exag-
gerated and uncareful exchange
of vehemently held opposite
opinions,” and an “atmosphere
of overstatement.”
In effect, the court furnished a
relatively libel-free zone for per-
sonalities and topics discussed
on sports talk media, a doctrine
that others have extended to a
bevy of “talk show” formats
involving other issues and top-
ics outside of the sports world,
including political chatter.
In passing, the appellate court
noted that there was insufficient
evidence of the type of “actual
malice,” consisting of know-
ing falsity or reckless disregard
of the truth, and because the
claimant did not prove that Sid
knew the falsity of his state-
ments, which would have justi-
fied dismissing the case on that
ground as well. An effort by the
defamed doctor to have the Min-
nesota Supreme Court take up
the case was unsuccessful as that
tribunal declined to get involved,
leaving the appellate court deci-
sion intact.
Sid’s swath
Sid’s suit has since been cited
numerous times as a precedent
for expansion of First Amend-
ment rights of freedom of speech
and freedom of the press and for

Senate Districts 45 and 46, as
she had in past years, and went
through the interview process.
She was denied for not repre-
senting basic DFL principles
and didn’t make it to a full
membership vote. As a result,
she didn’t seek a Resolution of
Support in 2021.
Some candidates and their
supporters are spreading mis-
information that candidates
who get the Resolution of
Support are beholden to a po-
litical party, are provided with
talking points or cannot think
for themselves, which couldn’t
be further from the truth.
There is nothing wrong with
candidates in nonpartisan
races seeking a Resolution of
Support from local political
party units. I personally know
the Golden Valley City Coun-
cil members and am fully con-
fident that they’re independent
matter how deprecatory the sub-
ject of the commentary.
While rued by defamation
claimants and their attorneys,
the case has cut a broad swath
of constitutional protection for
the expression of speaking or
thinkers who are responsible
and accountable to residents,
not a political party. Because
an individual didn’t get the
Resolution of Support they
wanted doesn’t mean other
candidates shouldn’t benefit
from that support. It’s a good
thing.

La Mere-Anderson
will be an informed
voice on the issues
To the Editor:
Denise La Mere-Anderson
knows the importance of
studying in-depth the many
issues faced by a city council
member in order to make an
informed decision before vot-
ing.
Denise is familiar with how
the city works, and has served
both as a dedicated volunteer
voicing opinions, regardless how
offensive the subject. In so doing,
it expands the sphere of consti-
tutionally protected freedom of
the media from its roots in the
New York Times case.
Nearly everyone knows about
and in the leadership posi-
tion of chair of the Golden
Valley Human Services com-
mission. Golden Valley City
Council members represent all
residents of the city. Denise is
open-minded and interested
in everyone’s opinions.
I heard her speak at the
League of Women Voters
Candidate Forum and was
very impressed. She said she
has been enjoying door knock-
ing and hearing what people
have to say. Denise will be a
strong, positive voice on the
City Council. She will cast her
vote after doing her research
and considering both short
and long-term effects of any
action taken by the council.
Vote for Denise La Mere
Anderson to keep our city dy-
namic, vibrant and competi-
tive.

Potter’s lawyers offer initial defense POLICE REPORTS

strategies in Wright shooting case
By KEVIN MILLER
kevin.miller@apgecm.com
Former Brooklyn Cen-
ter police officer Kim
Potter’s lawyers disclosed
potential strategies they
may use to defend her in
court, according to docu-
ments filed Oct. 13.
Then-officer Potter fa-
tally shot Daunte Wright,
20, during an April 11
traffic stop near the inter-
section of 63rd and Or-
chard avenues.
While reserving the
right to make additional
defenses pending the “vo-
luminous discovery” of
new evidence, Potter’s de-
fense may characterize her
actions as an “innocent
accident,” or an “innocent
mistake.”
Her defense may also
argue a case for “lack of
causation,” or that “her
perceived use of a Taser
was reasonable.”
These defenses could
change because “Potter
still has not been assured
that the (criminal com-
plaint) against her will not
be amended again,” wrote
her lawyers Earl Gray and
Paul Engh. “Disclosure of
her defenses is dependent
upon an understanding of
not only what the charges
currently are, but what
they may be in the future.”
Potter has been charged
with one count of first-
degree manslaughter and
one count of second-de-
gree manslaughter in the
incident.
Potter is alleged to have
accidentally drawn her
service pistol instead of
her Taser when she fatally
shot Wright, who was re-
sisting arrest and attempt-
ing to enter his vehicle
during the incident.
Before resigning his
post, former police chief
Tim Gannon said he be-
lieved that Potter fired her
pistol by mistake.
Potter, a 26-year-veter-
an officer and field train-
er, was initially charged
with second-degree man-
slaughter by Washington
County Attorney Pete
Orput’s office.
Minnesota Attorney
General Keith Ellison’s
office has since added
first-degree manslaughter
charges to her criminal
complaint.
Wright’s death sparked
days of unrest in Brook-
lyn Center, and a fence
Kim Potter
still lines the perimeter
around the police station.
Following Wright’s
death, the Brooklyn Cen-
ter City Council passed
a resolution to redesign
the city’s public safety re-
sponse, and have unarmed
civilians respond to men-
tal health calls and low
level traffic incidents.

The department reported that
there were no known injuries at this
time. Officers believe the act was not
random in nature and there is likely
no known threat to the public.
Passersby that took to social me-
dia over the incident said the gas
station was shut down with several
squad cars parked at the gas station.
The New Hope department said
their investigators were dispatched
to the area, as was the Hennepin

Gillian has also worked with the

a long term, twenty-year project
aimed at making the Golden Val-

October Issue
Volunteers help to maintain KidPack program
By SUE WEBBER
Contributing Writer
Under the tutelage of
Dawn Dresser, director of
mission and outreach, Cal-
vary Lutheran Church in
Golden Valley has several
approaches to food insecu-
rity in the community.
All the outreach re-
quires volunteer help, and,
Dresser said, “We are very
blessed to have people here
who are very committed to
helping with this.”
Beginning in 2012, Cal-
vary partnered with Good
Samaritan-Ambassador in
New Hope on the KidPack
program, to provide near-
by school children with a
bag of food to take home
for the weekend.
“We started with Neill
School in Crystal,” Dresser
said. “Three to four years
later, we were asked to
take on SEA (School of
Engineering and Arts) in
Golden Valley.”
Ambassador Care Cen-
ter and Calvary Church
partner with the Rotary
in Golden Valley and the
Rotary group in Crystal/
Robbinsdale/New Hope to
ensure that each KidPack
bag contains two breakfast
items (cereal or oatmeal),
two lunch items (maca-
roni and cheese or tuna or
chicken salad on a crack-
er), a milk or juice bever-
age, cut-up packaged fruit
or fresh fruit, and a couple
of other snack items.
Volunteers gather every
other Wednesday at Calva-
ry Church to assemble the
KidPacks and then deliver
them to the classrooms at
each school on Friday. The
program is open to any stu-
dent at each school. Ap-
proximately 225 bags are
prepared in total, during
a normal, non-pandemic
year.
Food to fill the bags is or-
dered online, through The
Discovering The Mature Lifestyle
Barbara Borthwick and Kathy Wright are two of the Calvary Lutheran Church volunteers who help as-
semble KidPack bags for District 281 students.
Food Group, Dresser said.
“We started delivering at
the schools, but last year
was really hard with the
pandemic,” Dresser said.
“Then we just did meals.
We started coming back
to the schools in Febru-
ary. We try to make sure
we cover one child’s meals
for the weekend. “We have
tried to be more health-
ful with snacks, with meat
or turkey sticks, crackers,
sunflower seeds and fruit.”
Providing 225 KidPack
bags at a time requires a
host of volunteers. Dur-
ing non-COVID times,
Calvary has 20-25 people
who help, including Kathy
Wright and Barbara
Borthwick.
Kathy Wright said she
has been volunteering
with the food programs at
Calvary for at least the last
seven years. The KidPack
assembling that she does
is an assembly line that
moves pretty fast, she said.
“We do as many as 150 at
times,” Wright said. “The
program goes through fifth
grade. The children prob-
ably share it (the food bag)
Crystal • Robbinsdale • New Hope • Golden Valley
with their siblings.”
Having volunteered even
before she retired from Tar-
get in 2017, Wright said the
benefits are priceless. “For
me, volunteering is just a
gift,” she said. “It is truly
my pleasure to meet people
and be with people.”
Barbara Borthwick said
she has worked with Kid-
Pack every other week,
Meals on Wheels once a
month for between nine
and 12 meals each route,
and for the last 12 years
with Feed My Starving
Children.
“It feels like we’re do-
ing something significant,”
Borthwick said. “The
people who volunteer are
just great. It’s great to see
everybody every other
week.”
Calvary also has volun-
teers who serve other ef-
forts to combat food inse-
curity, including:
• Volunteers packed up
meals each week for the
people in Calvary Coop-
erative Apartments for
several months after the
pandemic started.
• Meals on Wheels:
(PHOTOS SUBMITTED)
Meals are cooked by CEAP
(Community Emergency
Assistance Programs) in
Brooklyn Center and de-
livered to Calvary, where
volunteers help distribute
them twice a month to cli-
ents’ homes. Twelve Cal-
vary volunteers are drivers
on the first Wednesday of
the month, and three vol-
unteers drive on the third
Tuesday of the month.
• Feed My Starving Chil-
dren (FMSC): Since 2008,
Calvary has conducted an
annual MobilePack event
at the church, at which
volunteers pack meals for
hungry children outside of
the U.S.
This summer, 500 volun-
teers showed up at Calvary
for one Thursday night-
through-Sunday packing
event, working three shifts
a day, packing a total of
163,296 meals.
“We used to do 750,000
to a million meals,” Dress-
er said. “We’d fill one truck
in the front of the church,
and two trucks in the back.
It’s really fun.”
• Food Drives: Calvary
conducts two or three
food drives each year and
delivers the donations to
PRISM (People Respond-
ing in Social Ministry),
Community Emergency
Services (CES) in south
Minneapolis, and now ICA
(Intercongregation Com-
munities Association) in
Hopkins and Minnetonka.
“During the pandemic
this year, one of the part-
ners donated 1,500 pounds
of black beans and pinto
beans, and volunteers
worked to repackage it into
two-pound bags,” Dresser
said.
“We donated about
1,000 pounds of food to
Loaves and Fishes through
Second Harvest Heartland
in Brooklyn Park, a food
bank that is one of our
partners,” Dresser said.
• Habitat for Humanity:
Calvary also has volunteers
who help with Habitat for
Humanity home-building
for one week each summer.
“This year we partnered
with a group of northwest
churches,” Dresser said.
Calvary spends about
$320,000 a year on Out-
reach projects and Hunger
and Human Needs, ac-

Lutheran Church in Golden Valley.

cording to Dresser. “Feed
My Starving Children
is over and above that,”
Dresser said. “When we do
750,000 FMSC meals, it is
another $180,000.
“For KidPack, part of
the funding comes from
Calvary, and we also work
with Good Samaritan, our
two local Rotary clubs, the
Calvary Cooperative next
door, and some local busi-
nesses also,” Dresser said.
Originally an accoun-
tant, Dresser said her work
at Calvary “fits me much
better. I get to do what
God is calling me to do. I
am following his lead.
“It’s always a matter of
juggling multiple people,
and individual callers who
need help,” Dresser said.
“Some things we can help
with, and some we can’t.
We work with partners in
the area. We are blessed
that our congregation is so
giving.”
The food insecurity is
“not always kids from the
inner city,” Dresser said.
“We need to figure out how
to talk about that. It’s a re-
ality and we cannot shame
people.”

I am grateful for Shana Bouley; who is willing to sit down with me and my team to help us under-
stand all of the different online media avenues that APG-ECM offers. I am not super "techie" and
she is willing to explain things over (and sometimes over) again so that it starts to make some
sense. Being in the real estate service industry, it is important for us to have a positive online
presence and for our community to know that we are here to help them as they transition into
the next chapter in their lives. I feel that in utilizing Digital Targeted Display, Geo-Fencing, Search
Engine Marketing (SEM) and ads on their local newspaper website we are able to offer this to our
clients and customers. Thank you for all that you are doing Shana and team!

Veterans find success in tech

The vast scope and skills who exist to aid veterans in
involved in running the making the leap from serv-

tary force speaks to what can
be called the best-trained
workforce anywhere.
The experience and train-

service prepares veterans
for the opportunity to enter

enviable preparation for the
transition into the sophisti-

Beyond mere training,
the military offers valu-

— work ethic, dedication

leadership — are attractive
to employers and give ser-
vicemembers a leg up in this

The sheer number of vet-

those who serve in support

Blue Line anti-displacement
program will include
creation of work group
By ALAINA ROOKER
alaina.rooker@apgecm.com
Representatives of
each community along
the proposed Blue Line
extension corridor were
introduced to a new part-
ner, the Center of Urban
and Regional Affairs,
at the Oct. 14 Corridor
Management Commit-
tee meeting. CURA, a
University of Minnesota
research group, was hired
by Hennepin County last
month to lead an anti-dis-
placement working group
for the light rail project
that will connect Target
Field to Brooklyn Park.
CURA Director C Ter-
rence Anderson told the
committee his ten-mem-
ber team would likely
complete work in the next
year and a half.
Anderson said when
it came to forming the
anti-displacement work
group, CURA preferred a
“transparent, public pro-
cess” instead of tapping
people that might be a
good fit. Anderson invit-
ed committee members
to share their ideas about
forming the work group
in the coming weeks.
Some committee mem-
bers had suggestions
about membership selec-
tion.
Denise Butler, a rep-
resentative from ACER
and the Blue Line Co-
alition, recommended
membership similar to
the makeup of the Blue
Line Extension’s Com-
munity Advisory Com-
mission. She said giving
community members and
local organizations a seat
at the table was a good
way for CURA to pro-
duce “the best product
for the community.”
Ricardo Perez, an-
other Blue Line Coali-
tion member, believed a
portion of the seats
should be given to those
with lived experiences of
displacement.
New Hope Mayor
Kathi Hemken also re-
quested that city officials
be in the working group.
She said officials could
both speak of their con-
stituents’ concerns in the
group and keep constitu-
ents updated.
Robbinsdale Mayor
Bill Blonigan said he
hoped CURA and the
working group would be
“cognizant” of the dif-
ference in displacement
effects between Minne-
apolis and the suburbs
involved in the light rail
corridor. To that com-
ment, Anderson agreed,
and said that each station
area would be considered
a standalone area of in-
quiry, and potential im-
pacts would be studied in
a radius of one half-mile.
Research and
recommendations
Aside from the work
group, CURA will con-
duct research and make
policy recommendations.
Currently, the center was
honing in on six separate
study areas, including the
effects of previous Min-
nesota light rail projects,
the needs of residents
and businesses along the
corridor, how to moni-
tor future displacement,
and what has been done
to mitigate displacement
elsewhere.
Throughout the pro-
cess, Anderson said the
center would actively de-
part from traditional con-
sulting models.
“So what this could
have been is: CURA
comes in with our own
questions and hypothesis
and methods, and we just
sort of drop into a com-
munity and we talk to
community leaders. ...
We get data and infor-
mation, and then we sort
of disappear behind the
black curtain here at the
University of Minnesota
and we deliver y’all with
an analysis and report,”
said Anderson.
Instead, he said the
center would work to
“build agency and capac-
ity” by working alongside
corridor partners.
Anderson said ulti-
mately, if displacement

The proposed preliminary prop-

increase of $784,220, or 1.34% in
comparison to PAY21 (FY22).
He explained that the General
Fund comprises the majority of the
increase at $1,998,018.
Chapinduka explained that the
Board can either certify this pro-
posed property tax levy at a specif-
ic dollar amount or at the maximum,
thus retaining flexibility if there are
subsequent levy changes beyond
the District’s control between now
and the final levy certification. He
further noted that the Truth-in-Tax-

The Falcons (7-9 over-

to the regular season with
four wins in five games, but
there were also three- and
four-game losing streaks in
the beginning and middle
of the year.
Wins over Park Cen-

were some of the biggest

Season ends at Wayzata By JOHN SHERMAN

By ANTHONY IOZZO

It is never easy to have
to open the 6AAA section
tournament as a seventh
seed, as it usually means
a road game against a top
team in the state.
For Armstrong girls soc-
cer, that team was second-
seeded Wayzata, and the
matchup proved challeng-
ing in a 10-0 loss Oct. 14.
The Falcons (1-15-1
overall) had a 3-0 win over
Park Center, which also had
one win this year, and a tie
against Minneapolis South-
west. As a team, five goals
were scored with goals in
a 2-1 loss at St. Louis Park
on Oct. 2 and a 3-1 loss at
Spring Lake Park on Oct. 5.
Junior midfielder Maddy
Orstad had two of those
goals, and junior midfielder
Lauren Jones also had one.
Seniors Sarah Osborne and
Perri Thompson scored the
other goals.
Junior midfielder Kar-
lee Fisher had two assists,
and junior midfielder Ava
Marelic had the other assist.
Besides Osborne and
Thompson, several other
seniors played in their final
games. Both goalies Mack-
enzie Johnson and Sydney
Smith leave a gap for next
season. Smith had 175 saves
and a .789 save percentage,
and Johnson had 11 saves as
the backup.
Senior defenders Chloe
Bawek and Allison Pohl and
senior midfielders Maylee
Aldentaler, Jada Himmel-
berg, Amberly Rosario and
French-exchange student
Alice Dupperay also played
in their last high school
games. All of them were
starters, except for Dup-
peray.
Fisher, Marelic, Jones and
Orstad are just a few key
players expected back next
season, however. Junior
midfielder Izzy Anderson
and sophomore midfielders
Bella Bocock and Ella Picka
are also expected back.
The Lake Conference girls cross
country meet featured some of the
state’s premier runners Oct. 14 at
Gale Woods Farm in Minnetrista.
Two of the best performances
came from Hopkins’ freshmen phe-
noms Sydney Drevlow and Daphne
Grobstein. No one could keep up
with St. Michael-Albertville senior
Ali Weimer, who won the 5K race in
17:17, but Drevlow never lost sight of
the leader and took second place in
17:41. Just as impressive as Drevlow’s
second place was Grobstein’s third
place in 18:13.

we got the update about
Armstrong and them los-
ing tonight, it gave us the
opportunity to continue
to get some of our young
guys some looks when we
felt like we had the game
secured.”
It was the third district
title in the last five years
with the others coming
in 2017 and 2018, when
the Hawks finished as co-
champs.
And it didn’t take long
to take control at Irondale.
After the opening kick-
off went out of bounds,
Cooper started the game
on their own 35-yard line,
and the first play from
scrimmage was a 65-yard
touchdown run by senior
running back Camden
Royal.
Royal ran to the outside
and had the blocks to get
around everyone before
sprinting to the end zone
for an early 7-0 lead.
The defense then forced
a 3-and-out to get the ball
back on the Irondale 45-
yard line.
The second play from
scrimmage for the offense
was a 45-yard touchdown
pass from senior quarter-
back Joe Russell to senior
wide receiver David Con-
nors Jr.
Russel hit Connors on
a short pass, and Connors
broke a tackle and sped all
the way to the end zone
for a 14-0 lead in less than
three minutes.
The Knights did drive
to the Cooper 9-yard line
on the next drive, but the
defense had a few tackles
for a loss, and Connors
picked off a pass in the
end zone to get the ball
back to the offense.
Russell had a couple
of carries for 50 yards to
get the ball back in the
red zone. He finished that
drive early in the second
quarter with a roll out to
his right and a throw back
to the left side to find ju-
nior tight end/defensive
end Jaxon Howard, who
was wide open, for an 11-
yard touchdown to make
it 21-0.
Senior wide receiver/
linebacker Donte’ Wil-
liams blocked a punt on
the next defensive stand,
but the offense just missed
a touchdown pass with a
play ending up out of
bounds.
But another 3-and-out
forced by the defense with

sack, gave the ball back to
Cooper on their own 31.
Royal started with a
22-yard run, and he later
added a 16-yard run to
push the ball to the Iron-
dale 25-yard line.
Russell finished the
drive with a 25-yard pass
up the seam to Howard for
a 28-0 lead, which was the
score at halftime.
And that also came
with some questionable
non-holding calls on the
field. Jaxon Howard’s
shoulder pads and jersey
were new before the start
of the game, but by half-
time, it was clear that he
was in some battles as he
attempted to stop the run

or get to the quarterback
from the defensive line.
Howard said that while
he likes to ask the referees
for an explanation so he
can go back to the team
and help the players avoid
the same mistake in the
next game.
“I took over 12 years
ago, and that’s how we
feel it is all the time,” Wil-
lie Howard said. “It’s hard
but we do teach our play-
ers to really work hard and
work through that adver-
sity.”
Royal made it 35-0 early
in the third quarter with a
25-yard touchdown run,
but Irondale did end up
scoring three of the last
four scores in the game.
Cooper junior tight end Jaxon Howard (left) celebrates his second
touchdown reception with junior wide receiver Keith Pierro Oct. 15

Junior Thomas West-
brook scored on a 7-yard
run, and after two flags,
the Knights decided to go
for two.
Sophomore Jack Woj-
ciak then threw a pass to
senior CJ Ritchie. Ritchie
caught the pass but after
his helmet came off, which
is supposed to be a dead
ball. The referees talked
and determined the play
to be good to make it 35-8.
The Hawks were the
next to score, though.
Russell hit Williams on a
4-yard touchdown pass
to push the lead to 42-8.
Williams ended up on the
stat sheet multiple times
with that touchdown, a
blocked punt and a fum-
ble recovery.

Irondale added a 69-
yard touchdown run by
senior Lucas Shaver and
20-yard touchdown pass
from Wojciak to Ritchie
to cut the lead to 42-21,
but the Hawks were able
to run out the clock to get
the win.
Royal passed the 1,000
yard mark on the ground
with another monster
game. He had 10 carries
for 172 yards and now has
1,106 yards in seven games
to go along with 12 total
touchdowns.
Russell finished 10-
for-16 for 142 yards and
four touchdowns, and he
also collected 66 yards
on three carries on the
ground. Connors finished

73 yards,
yards and Howard
had two receptions for 33
yards.
“Joe is going to spear-
head this offense, and this
is what he’s been doing
for three years now,” Wil-
lie Howard said. “For him
to look to the sideline, get
a call from the coach and
execute and put everyone
in the right position –
we’ve got playmakers.
“We’ve got Donte’, who
led us last year, that every-
one wants to bracket cov-
er, so we are going to find
the next player and they
are stepping up. It’s been
a blessing to watch our
kids transfer everything
they’ve worked hard on
over the summer and put
it into the game.”
The Hawks closed the
regular season against
Benilde-St. Margaret’s (1-
6) Oct. 20. The 5AAAAA
section playoffs begin
Tuesday, Oct. 26 with the
No. 4 seed hosting the No.
5 seed. The semifinals are
Saturday, Oct. 30, with
the No. 1 seed hosting
the winner of the 4/5 seed
game, and the No. 2 seed
hosting the No. 3 seed.
The section final is Fri-
day, Nov. 5.
It has been a journey to
get to the point of poten-
tially getting a top seed in
the section.
Howard said that the
first game of the season
was pretty much a scrim-
mage and the second
game had adversity with
busses being late and the
team still trying to find its
identity. But since a tough
game at Holy Angels,
things seem to be rolling
now.
“I think we still have a
lot that we need to crisp
up,” Willie Howard said.
“We need to get some of
our players healthy that
didn’t play tonight just
to make sure that we’re
taking care of business.
We want to make sure ev-
eryone’s doing things the
right way.
“If we put everything
together, we are a hard
team to beat. If we don’t
play disciplined, then we
are just an average team.
So we got work to do, and
I think the kids are up to
the challenge.”

Hopkins
Season ends against ninth-ranked Hopkins CONTINUED FROM PAGE 22

By ANTHONY IOZZO
anthony.iozzo@apgecm.com
Cooper girls soccer knew this sea-
son was going to be about improving
a young squad and overcoming the
challenge of balancing the few veter-
ans on the team in a more inexperi-
enced overall roster.
The Hawks (1-13-1 overall) did tie
Mayer Lutheran on Sept. 18, and they
did earn a win against Heritage Chris-
tian on Oct. 4. But for the most part,
a difficult Metro West Conference
schedule meant bumps along the way.
Cooper’s season ended in a 7-0
loss at top-seeded and ninth-ranked
Hopkins Oct. 14 in the 6AAA sec-
tion quarterfinals, but there were just
six seniors on the team which means
most of the roster learned for next
season.
Seniors Natalia Ore, Kadin Camp,
Jace Herman, Clare Snapko, Alyca
Madson and Milka Marquez all
played their final high school soccer
games, but 16 players are eligible to
return in 2022.
Clare Snapko (three goals), Kadin
Camp (two goals) and Herman all
scored, but juniors Katie Velez and
Ella Camp, sophomores Ema Dyson,
Mia Korstad and Keira Snapko and
freshmen Andy Scheveck and Stella
Fesenmaier also had shots this sea-
son.
Sophomore Marin Scherber and
Korstad also split time in the net to
help build a solid foundation of goal-
ies. Scherber finished with a .714 save
percentage, and both combined for
125 saves.
competed in the Lake meet are Judson Schultz, Hans
Greenwood, Henry Scheible, Tristan Schmanski, Mitch-
ell Dolynchuk and Miles Harris.
Next for the Hopkins boys and girls team is the Sec-
tion 6AAA Meet Wednesday, Oct. 27, at Gale Woods
Farm.
“Our section includes two of the best boys team’s in
the state – Wayzata and Minneapolis Southwest,” coach
Harris said. “We would need a special day to finish ahead
of either team.”
On the girls side, Wayzata looms as the section favor-
ite. And there could be an opening for Hopkins to earn
a state berth – the top two teams advance.
“It will be exciting to see what we can do,” Harris said.
