Sports reporter for the West Central Tribune in Willmar, MN. Vagabond formerly at St. Cloud, Marshall, Red Wing and Rivertowns. Casserole. Not Hotdish.
I was able to find some of the photos I took of Nick Connelly during his time at Red Wing. Still love the photo of him closing in on Mankato West's Ryan Schlichte with the O-lineman's "Oh (REDACTED)" face.
My condolences to the Radermacher family today and their son Zach's passing. I had the chance to visit with Zach and tell some of his story while the
@WillmarCardsFB
team was raising money for his family. His poise in that interview will stick with me.
This is a heartbreaker. Nick was one of the most unassuming, approachable kids to interact with when I was at the RE. His brothers and his parents are the same way. Chuck and Tami, you raised a good one. I'm so sorry for your loss.
Final: Willmar 62, St. Paul Johnson 20. The Cardinals will play for the Class AAAA state championship vs. SMB at 4 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 23 back at US Bank Stadium.
Willmar is back in the finals for the first time in 45 years.

- Six 6 seeds won tonight. No 7s, no 8s. So, math-wise, one team in 9-Man thru 5A
- On an average, 7 seeds lost 48-13 tonight. Closest margin was 10 points.
- On an average, 8 seeds lost 48-11 tonight. Closest margin was 20 points.
But yeah, 4 games in 15 days. Great plan...
Really jarring to look at Goodhue's football roster and not see a Huemann on there.
Don't worry, though. There's six O'Reillys.

Confirmed with K-W coach Matt Ryan that some members of the team were unable to wrestle due to a MSHSL violation. Give credit to the kids who hit the mat and got a state experience out of it.
In 98, I cried and threw all my Falcons cards in the garbage.
In 01, I stormed off in the first quarter and played N64.
In 10, I was at work and cussed up a storm at Favre.
In 18, I stew in silence.
Well I guess this is growing up.
My story on former Dawson-Boyd standout Zach Durfee, who has taken the scenic route in his college football journey. His next stop: the University of Washington.

According to Willmar's records, Ty Roelofs was tied for the school record for INTs in a season coming into today (6). He stands alone now with 8 picks.
They were up way past their bed time and there's no Leno to put them to sleep. But, I figure the senior citizens in the

should have a couple high-res photos from tonight.
Thank you for joining me in Red Wing and making a hell of a team for years. I'm gutted that you got laid off.
Whoever brings in Kyle next, whether in print journalism or elsewhere, you're getting a hell of a man. Hire him.
Hi,
It's me. I mean, who else would it be?
Anywho, I am no longer employed and just want to say a quick thanks to all the great people I worked with and all the coaches and athletes I covered.
I hope y'all get a season and I will read about it and will cheer on everyone.
