High School Football: Two Rivers defense shines again as Warriors down Central for subdistrict crown

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:31:16 GMT

Max Mogelson said Two Rivers prides itself on zero. One yard given up by the Warriors is one too many in their eyes.“And we’ve got guys on guys that are just willing to give up everything they’ve got to hold them to zero yards and zero points, obviously, is the goal at the end of the game,” the senior defensive lineman said. “But it’s one play at a time — win that play, win that drive, get the offense the ball and go from there.”So with zero in mind, Friday was a success for Two Rivers, as the Warriors shut out the Minutemen 41-0 at Central High School to claim the Northstar-Twin Cities subdistrict title.It’s Two Rivers’ first subdistrict or conference title dating back more than 20 years. That means something to seniors like Mogelson, a UNLV commit who entered the Mendota Heights school three years ago with the goal of turning the football program around.Mission accomplished. Friday’s win moved the Warriors to 6-1 on the season with only a date Wednesday with Simley remaining in th...

Conley’s Corner: Timberwolves’ ‘Old Guy’ has still got game

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:31:16 GMT

EDITOR’S NOTE: Mike Conley is one of the best sources of information in the NBA. Entering his 17th NBA season, the 36-year-old Timberwolves point guard has seen it all, and has the knowledge and willingness to explain what’s taken place and what’s to come with the media and, thus, the fans. That breadth of insight and analysis extends from the on-court Xs and Os to team dynamics and development. Conley is just as good at explaining why two teammates came to blows in the middle of a timeout as he is on what the team needs to do to decode a switch-heavy defense.So who better to sit down with twice a month to tackle different topics ranging from the Timberwolves to the league at large to, well, Mike Conley, than Conley himself.Welcome to the first installment of Conley’s Corner.‘The Old Guy’ has still got gameMike Conley noted there is a “script” NBA players are supposed to follow. Once you hit a certain age, you must conform into a different mold of player.“You’re no longe...

Inside the ‘Pizza Oven’: Hells Angels illegally cremated four missing persons at funeral home, feds claim

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:31:16 GMT

Days before a former Fresno chapter president of the Hells Angels is set to be sentenced for aiding the cremation of a man who was murdered by other club members, federal prosecutors have dropped a bombshell, alleging that a local funeral director informed the FBI their were four such illegal cremations.Moreover, federal authorities believe they know the identities of all four bodies, according to court records.

J Street to Democrats: Back Resolution Supporting Gaza War or Lose Endorsement

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:31:16 GMT

On Tuesday, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul, R-Texas, and Ranking Member Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., introduced a resolution pledging Congress would stand “with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas and other terrorists.” Nearly every member of Congress announced their support for the resolution — with the exception of 13 Democrats.The resolution, however, does not mention Palestinian civilians, who face an ongoing siege of medieval proportions — with Israeli forces cutting off access to food, water, and electricity — and calls for further restricting and scrutinizing imports because of Hamas’s use of bulldozers and other rudimentary equipment to break down the border fence with Israel. The lack of any attempt in the resolution to urge Israel to avoid civilian casualties, as the Palestinian territory stares down an apocalyptic and ongoing massacre, has led to a small pocket of resistance to the resolution among a handful of ...
