HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: RV's Means on torrid pace

Pipestone County Star ·

2025/02/13

Redwood Valley senior guard Lukas Means is a dynamic scorer. And that was on prominent display last Friday as the Cardinals downed Pipestone Area Schools, 72-54, in Big South Conference action Friday at PAS Gymnasium. Means, who surpassed 1,000 points in his illustrious career as a junior, paced everyone with 38 points on 14 goals and a spotless 4-of-4 from the free-throw line. He added five 3-pointers, and the Cardinals canned 13 triples in all, which proved to be the difference. “Lukas is a...

HIGH SCHOOL WRESTLING: Hernandez joins Century Club

Pipestone County Star ·

2025/02/13

Pipestone Area Schools’ freshman wrestler Miklo Hernandez said he looked up to Michael Suda when he was younger. Suda, who eventually wrestled at Augustana University in Sioux Falls, S.D., happens to be the Arrows’ all-time leader in wins at 232 from 2013-18. That’s the amazing total that is Hernandez’ goal. Hernandez is closer after crossing the 100-win plateau during a triangular last Thursday at Luverne. He pinned Marshall’s Colton Chandler at the three-minute mark. Chandler i...

HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASTICS: Oh-so close for Arrows

2025/01/31

REDWOOD FALLS — One-tenth of a point. That’s what separated the Pipestone Area Schools gymnasts from Redwood Valley during a Big South Conference meet on Thursday, Jan. 23, at the field house. And the Cardinals nipped the Arrows, 132.4-132.3. “(The meet) made it clear that every tenth counts,” PAS head coach Stacie Wallace commented. “That’s a good wake-up call as we set our sights on sections.” Wallace said the Arrows will look to add difficulty on the uneven parallel bars, and also clean up...

2025/01/31

ST. PAUL — The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has issued a report regarding the 2024 deer harvest. The numbers proved to be a “good news, bad news” scenario.

However, it was still three percent lower than the five-year average. “We still have a long way to go in parts of northern Minnesota,” said Minnesota DNR big game program spokesperson/coordinator Todd Frobe...
