History teachers tend to ramble off unrelatable facts about flappers, bootlegging, and the ease of life in the “Roaring 20s” during a typical U.S. History class, leaving their students with no real understanding of the subject. At the same time, English teachers’ enthusiasm over F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” can only be understood... Continue Reading

“We need our Kyle Rau,” said boys’ hockey head coach Mr. Ken Pauly, referencing the former Eden Prairie Eagle who not only led the team in scoring on their way to last year’s state championship, but also consistently showed up when his team needed a goal. BSM’s Kyle Rau is junior forward Grant Besse, who has been on a roll lately, averaging over 2.8 goals a game in his last seven games. He twice found the back of the net and added an assist in a 4-3 win over section rival Wayzata on Monday, Feb. 6. With section seeding on the line, there was a playoff-like atmosphere at the packed Plymouth Ice Center. “I loved it,” said Besse. “I thrive on that stuff.” Head-to-head match-ups... Continue Reading

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is a bill running through Congress in an attempt to curb the illegal uploading and downloading of copyrighted information and programs. Unfortunately, due to extremely vague wording and unclear definitions, the censorship proposed could extend to websites such as Facebook, various e-mails, and any other free forum. Not only is SOPA ineffective for all but the technologically impaired, but it violates our rights and benefits only a small handful of elites. SOPA works by requiring websites and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to search through sent information and to censor any infringing material. Not only does this ignore the privacy guaranteed in the Constitution... Continue Reading

Any skeptics who doubted BSM’s metro rank as number 10 were quieted as the Red Knights traded punches with regional juggernaut Hopkins on January 30th. Though the 87-72 score may hint toward a blowout, the game was anything but. Need proof? The lead changed 14 times throughout the game, and, until the last two minutes, Hopkins’ largest lead of the game was a mere six points.
Despite losing their entire starting line-up to graduation, the Royals again have assembled a team capable of winning a state title. The Red Knights, however, tried to ignore the hype and prestige surrounding Hopkins’ program. “They’re just another team we have to play,” said senior Seth Marx. “We couldn’t just roll over and die because we were playing Hopkins.”
The Red Knights jumped to an early lead due in large part to stellar shooting by sophomore Isaiah Zierden and senior Darren Glover. Riding on Zierden, Glover, and sophomore Sanjay Lumpkin’s eight combined three-pointers, the Red Knights entered the intermission with a 41-37 lead. “I think everybody was surprised by how well we played in the first [half]” said junior Tommy Nelson.
Much of the second half mirrored the first––deep shots, lead changes, high-flying dunks, and plenty of entertainment. To the dismay of Red Knight fans, sophomore Isaiah Zierden’s three with six minutes left would be the last field goal for the home team, with the exception of a layup by senior Peter Crawford. From then on, Hopkins dominated, forcing seven Red Knight turnovers and going on a 20-4 run.
“It was a good game for about 32 minutes,” said coach John Moore, “but for the last four minutes they executed and we didn’t.” An acrobatic dunk by Royals’ junior Joe Coleman with two minutes left put the nail in the coffin for the Red Knights. Coleman’s dunks, which contributed to his game-high 33 points, were an emphatic reminder of why Hopkins is considered one of the top teams in the Midwest. High scorers for the Red Knights included Crawford with 19, Zierden with 15, and Glover with 11.
But this narrow loss was not all bad for the Red Knights––the first 32 minutes were a glimpse of the talent the Red Knights possess, a talent that could easily result in a trip to the state tournament in a few weeks’ time. “We’ve got to keep our eyes on the prize,” said Marx, “We can’t get too ahead of ourselves.”
