Boys Hockey
Hermantown (2-1-1) at Duluth Marshall (3-1-0). Players to watch: F River Freeman and D Henry Peterson of Hermantown. Hermantown blanked East Grand Forks 4-0 on Friday night at historic Hermantown Arena and stunned host Mahtomedi 5-2 Saturday afternoon. “We had a terrific weekend, starting with a big win at home against a feisty, hard-hitting EGF team,” said Hawks coach Patrick Andrews. “Once again I thought we played like a young team, taking some time to find our legs. In fact, our first period was flat-out unacceptable. However, the boys seemed to get better as the game went on and our third period was the best period of hockey this season. Once again our scoring depth was pivotal in getting four goals from four different players. River Freeman continues to impress as a senior captain scoring two goals over the weekend including one on Friday night, with Cam Lukovsky and Kole Lendyzk picking up their first varsity goals. Caden Manion picked a goal on the power play and Bryce Francisco earned his first high school shutout. Overall, minus the poor start, Friday was a great team win for our young group.”

Chisago Lakes at Hermantown (3-2). Player to watch: G Bailey Hermanson. The Hawks are 2-1 in a four-game homestand, with victories against North Branch 65-52 and Irondale 72-17. “I’m very proud of the girls for accomplishing our goal of winning the week,” said first-year Hawks head coach Eric Borndal. “After a very tough game against Proctor, I loved our response against Irondale on Saturday. We had fifteen different players score in the game, led by junior point guard Bailey Hermanson who had 23 points.” Borndal credits seniors Hope Kohanski, Mikayala Sweeney, Annika Nelson, Isabella Wojtysiak and Olivia Johnson for their leadership early in the season. “It seems like different seniors step up in each of our games,” he said. “Our greatest strength is that we have depth. As we continue to gain confidence as a collective group, I look forward to seeing our competitive spirit lead to more opportunities for wins. We will focus one game at a time, and look to learn from our early season challenges and build on our successes.” Hermantown also has Lake Superior Conference games coming up against Grand Rapids, Cloquet and Duluth Denfeld before competing in a Esko holiday tournament on Dec. 26-27.
