Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 11:05:22 GMT

Chanhassen has been widely considered the cream of the crop in Class 5A football this season.But Mahtomedi put a sizable scare into the Storm’s quest for a championship.Charlie Brandt ran for two scores and threw for another, but the Zephyrs came up 80 seconds short of an upset in Saturday’s state quarterfinal.Defensive lineman Dominic Castagnetto capped a 12-play, 76-yard, nearly five-minute drive with a 2-yard run out of the power package with 1:20 left as the Storm rallied for a 28-22 win.It’s the second straight week Castagnetto scored late to let Chanhassen advance.

No need for reset, says Jared Spurgeon. Wild need to build on ‘positives’

Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 11:05:22 GMT

Jared Spurgeon looked a little worse for wear after playing his first game of the season on Friday in Buffalo, N.Y., but by NHL standards, he was healthy — just a healthy fat lip after being hit by a Casey Mittelstadt stick.“Right back into it,” he said after the Wild’s 3-2 loss to the Sabres at KeyBank Center. “My modeling career is over.”It was the Wild’s 14th game of the season, and patterns have developed for Minnesota, most notably slow starts, inconsistent play and defensive lapses — by forwards and blue liners — that have so far added up to a 5-7-2 start.For Spurgeon, it was new, and with him back in the lineup, the Wild played the kind of game they typically play and have, more often than not, won the past several seasons. So, when the team captain was asked if the Wild need a reset, Spurgeon was a little incredulous.“It’s early in the year,” he said. “We’ve just got to keep with it and correct those things. Obviously, we’d like to come out with a win here, end a good road t...

Twins: With offseason underway, here are three areas of interest

Published Sat, 01 Mar 2025 11:05:22 GMT

The offseason moves have begun.The Twins picked up the club options on second baseman Jorge Polanco ($10.5 million) and Max Kepler last week. They also extended a qualifying offer to starting pitcher Sonny Gray. Gray, who is widely expected to decline the offer and test free agency, has until Nov. 14 to make a decision.As the offseason begins, it has become clear that the Twins’ payroll will not be as high as it was in 2023, in part because of the end of their television contract, when it was at their all-time high around $155 million. That could force the Twins to be more creative when trying to address roster needs this season. Here’s a look at three of their most important areas to address this winter:Starting pitchingKenta Maeda is a free agent. And in a matter of days, if Gray declines the qualifying offer, he will be a free agent as well — and one who will likely command a multi-year deal richer than what Twins would be willing to offer him.The Twins have Pablo López, Joe Ryan...
