Seventh through ninth grade Agates girls 'swam their hearts out,' according to coach Heather Mayfield at the Black and Blue Junior High Championship October 29th at Grand Rapids. The five swimmers are looking forward to next year and the new challenges they will face. 'It’s so fun to see these girls step up and be the leaders this weekend, we have six seniors graduating this year and these girls will have to take on leadership roles at a much younger age than normal. They have grown so much from the beginning of the season and this past weekend that really showed for them!,' said Mayfield.

On a gorgeous crisp windy afternoon, 18 teams from the region gathered to run at the golf course in Proctor, from all three classes: A, AA, AAA. North Shore Storm, which includes runners from Cook County, Silver Bay, and Two Harbors, is a Class AA team, and finisher placement is determined within each class. Competing in the same race as everyone else, but comparing times only with one’s own class, can be confusing, but the Storm ran their hardest as always, and the Boys team made great strides in their placement. The boys Junior High team took first place, with Georgi Dimitrov, Ethan Fish, Talon DeBoer, General Higgins and Elias Pszwaro taking the top five places for the Storm. The boys JV team took 3rd place, behind Grand Rapids and Hibbing, with top finishers Adam Oberg (8th), Chance Jacobsen (15th), Grant Obert (16th), Haddon Taylor (23rd) and Isaac Schmidt (31st). The girls Junior High team took 2nd place, behind Cloquet. Top finishers were Grace Swartz (5th), Hiver Moody (7th), Sophia Lindstrom (8th), Liz Swarz (10th), and Leah Belmore (11th). The Girls JV team also took 2nd place, behind Hibbing. Top finishers were Emma Crook (11th), Ryleigh Thorpe (12th), Claire Lindstrom (14th), Genevieve Silence (15th), and Signe Myers (17th).

A new pairing agreement has been instituted by the hockey associations in Cook County, Silver Bay and Two Harbors. The collaboration will team together hockey players in Squirts, 10U, Peewees and Bantams in a five-year agreement that has the students, parents and association leadership excited for a launching into some great hockey experiences. Blue-Line Club president Nick Bjerken says the message being sent from the associations leadership is, “We may be from different towns, but we are one team.”
