Agate Boys Basketball Report
Friday, March 3rd: Two Harbors 62 Barnum 45 The Bombers came out determined to be physical and attempt to take Trent Gomez out of his game. They were able to keep the game close for awhile as the Agates built a 27-23 halftime lead. Cash Williams had other plans however, quickly scoring 12 points as the Agates opened a 20 point lead and never looked back. Gomez led the Agates with 18 points, 5 rebound & 5 assists while Williams added 17 points & 8 rebounds. Cam Nelson had 9 points & 7 rebounds & Ethan Bopp added 9 points & 6 rebounds. Great all around effort & team defense led to the Agates 1st win in Barnum in over 20 years. Tuesday March 7th: Two Harbors 95 Proctor 60 The Agates opened the Section 7AA playoffs at home with a convincing win over the Rails. After a relatively slow start, the Agates caught fire and put up 61 1st half points including 29 by Gomez alone. All 18 players were able to see court time on the final home game of the year for the Agates. Gomez led the way again with 36 points and 7 steals. Ethan Bopp added 17 points & 8 boards. Isaiah Hietala had 9 points with 9 assists, Cam Nelson 9 points & 6 rebounds, Kyler Pitkanen added 7 & Cash Wiliams 6. The Agates appreciate the great turnout & support all year!

Letters to the Editor
The March 2 edition of the Duluth Reader contained an article,'What is the Value of Washburn's Jewel?' which strongly resonated with me. The author, Roth Edwards, pointed out the value and importance of green space and natural beauty, and the need to preserve what little of the original northern forests are still standing or rejuvenating.
Katya’s Corner
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.” –Abraham Lincoln I have received a record amount of feedback, both positive and negative, from my column criticizing the hiring process of our new City Administrator. And while I can’t help but wish that more of the negative feedback I received had addressed the issue itself (the hiring process) and was less a condemnation of my person and intentions, still I can understand and sympathize with the sense of being attacked.
