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

Boys’ basketball state
For the Red Knights, Wednesday’s state quarterfinal was a game played according to Murphy’s Law. Nearly everything that could have gone wrong did––the Red Knights shot a measly 34.6 percent from the field, were out-rebounded 32-24, and senior captain and leading scorer Peter Crawford was suffering from a case of food poisoning. All of this accumulated to help propel the unseeded, unranked Grand Rapids Thunderhawks past the Red Knights into the State semifinal with a 70-61 victory.
The first half saw the Red Knights fall quickly behind, as the Thunderhawks stormed out to a 18-6 lead in the half’s opening minutes. Though the Red Knights would mount a comeback––going on a 10-2 run midway through the half––Grand Rapids entered halftime with a 26-24 lead.
The second half played out similarly to the first––the Thunderhawks again jumped out to a ten-point lead, and the Red Knights were again forced to play from behind. And, despite a significant improvement in shooting by the Red Knights, the Thunderhawks never relinquished their lead and went on to win 70-61. “We just didn’t have it on the court,” said senior guard Seth Marx.
For the Red Knights, sophomore guard Isaiah Zierden scored 14 points and junior forward Myles Barnes added 11, but their combined effort was not enough to overcome Grand Rapids. Thunderhawk senior guard Eric Stark had 21 points and senior forward Michael Johnson poured in 18 to power the Thunderhawks past the Red Knights.
Crawford, a senior captain averaging 18.8 points per game, came down with food poisoning the day before the game. Though he dressed for and started the game, Crawford was obviously ailing, and scored only 7 points. “I think it affected us more mentally than physically,” said someone. “Peter is the heart and soul of our team.”
The Red Knights, an underclassmen-dominated team, will undoubtedly look to return to State next year. “Next year [the team] will be really good,” said Marx. “The sophomores and juniors will come back strong, and hopefully come back to State.”
But the impact of this years’ senior class cannot be overlooked––Marx, Crawford, Nick Meyer, and Darren Glover each gave four years to the Red Knight basketball program, making three trips to the state tournament and compiling a record of 97-25. “We were such a tight-knit group,” said Marx. “I’ll always remember hanging with these guys.”
