Robbinsdale teen charged with arson after rash of res

Police say Elton Brooks had ve butane lighters on him, and confessed to several blazes
BY JOE BOWEN
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
Police say a teenager confessed to several small-scale
arsons in Crystal and Robbinsdale after he was arrested Sept. 7.
Robbinsdale police announced Sept. 8 that they
had arrested Elton Brooks,
an 18-year old resident of
that city, shortly after an officer saw the teen attempt to
light a fire in a garbage can
between the 3800 blocks
of Orchard and Perry Avenues North. A statement
released by the department
says Brooks was arrested

with five butane lighters.

Sgt. Ryan Seibert said
the arresting officer, Robert
Staycoff, had volunteered
to work an additional bike
patrol shift created in response to the series of arsons in the city.
Whenever we have an
identified rash of any type
of crime, we disseminate
that information to our
patrol officers and go into
a proactive-type, directed
patrol, Seibert said.
The officer was there at
the right time and just did
a great job, said Robbinsdale Captain Patrick Foley.
Up to that point, there

had been five fires started

in garbage cans in Robbinsdale and two in Crystal since early August. Two
porta potties were also set
ablaze in Golden Valley, although police say the connections between the different fires are still under
investigation.
In our interview, he
(Brooks) did not bring anything up about Golden Valley, Foley said.
Police say Staycoff saw
Brooks light something
on fire in a garbage can,
then ride away from the
area on a bicycle. Staycoff
then confronted Brooks

and arrested him while another officer extinguished

the fire.
Seibert said accelerant
was not used, and that
Brooks had set miscellaneous paper ablaze to start
the Sept. 7 fire.
Robbinsdale police said
Brooks confessed to setting
six fires in Robbinsdale - the
one he was caught while allegedly setting, and the five
previous ones - and one on
the 4400 block of Welcome
Avenue in Crystal.
Brooks was charged
with third-degree arson on
Sept. 14, a felony with a
maximum sentence of five

years in prison and $10,000

in fines. Foley said Brooks
also faces three fifth-degree
arson charges, which are all
misdemeanors. A seconddegree arson charge, which
stems from a fire Brooks is
suspected of setting shortly
before his 18th birthday,
was expected as this article
went to print.
Police in Crystal and
Golden Valley are conducting their own investigations
into the other fires, meaning
more charges from those
cities could be forthcoming.

Elton Brooks, who is expected

to be charged with multiple
counts of arson. Police were
still investigating whether
similar res in nearby cities

Honoring rst responders, veterans

on 14th anniversary of 9/11
BY JOE BOWEN
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
On a cloudless morning
in Crystal, a bugler played
taps and a uniformed honor guard fired salutes into
the air as dozens of West
Metro residents gathered
to remember the terrorist
attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
In the days, weeks and
months following the attacks, individual acts of
heroism from ordinary
people came to light,
Crystal
Police
Chief
Stephanie Revering told a
crowd outside the Heathers Manor. These acts
helped remind us that it
is the citizens of this great
country that make America exceptional.

Manor in Crystal. (Sun Post staff photo by Joe Bowen)
Mincio, who left his high-

paying job to join the

Army after the attacks
and received national
press coverage in doing
so.
In a time of retreat
and collapse, when Americans were urged to maintain their routines, citizens, like Mincio, stepped
forward and did just the
opposite, Revering said.
These individuals epitomized a raw patriotism
that bolstered the nations
spirit.
Revering then listed
the military service members in the audience, a
roster that spanned several branches of the military and included several
World War II veterans.
The veterans then released
monarch butterflies into
the air at the services conclusion.

Video of Tania Harris shooting may never be released

Police can withhold photographs deemed to
be clearly offensive to common sensibilities
BY JOE BOWEN
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
Even after a police investigation cleared him
of any wrongdoing, the
video from Sgt. Tom
Rorthforks squad car
which shows him nonfatally shooting Robbinsdale teen Tania Harris
last spring might never
be released to the public.
Robbinsdale
Police
showed the media two
frames from the video
shortly after their investigation concluded Rothfork acted appropriately.
The best chance for the
video itself to be made
public is if and when
prosecutors present it
as evidence in their case
against Harris, who was
charged with seconddegree assault less than
a day after the April 16
shooting. On that day,
charging documents assert that Harris chased
after a second person
while holding a knife before Rothfork shot her
twice in the abdomen,
and the two frames seem
to corroborate that assertion.
However, if the video is
not accepted as evidence
in court or if a pre-trial
plea deal is reached, police could cite a littleused passage in the states
criminal
investigative
data statute to keep it
out of the publics hands,
even after the investigation and subsequent
court case have conclud-

ed.
Minnesota
Statute
13.82. Subd 7 states that
photographs which are
part of an inactive investigation can be deemed
private or nonpublic
if the material depicted
in them is clearly offensive to common sensibilities.
The ultimate problem
is, if the cops say no,
youre not going to get
past that, because theres
no legal authority Im
aware of that says clearly
theyre wrong, explained
Mark Anfinson, an attorney for the Minnesota Newspaper Association who represents Sun
Newspapers. He added
that the video could arguably be considered
public if it is shown in a
pre-trial omnibus hearing.
The Hennepin County
Sheriffs Office investigated the incident on
behalf of the Robbinsdale Police Department,
and that investigations
findings were used as the
basis for the RPDs absolution of Rothforks
actions. Sheriffs office
staff did not provide the
Sun Post with the video,
claiming that the Robbinsdale department is
the responsible and releasing authority.
At a work session
roughly three weeks after the incident, Robbinsdale Police Chief Jim
Franzen told the City
Council that Rothforks

dashboard camera basically captured the whole

incident.
We kind of lucked out,
because you never know
where the dash cams going to be pointed, Franzen said. Where the officer parked his car ... if he
knew ahead of time what
was going to happen, he
couldnt have parked it in
a better spot.
He added that the
speedy charges against
Harris were possible, in
part, because of the wellplaced camera.
Regarding the video
itself: I dont know if
its ever going to be public, because we also can
withhold anything that
is graphic in nature from
the public, Franzen
said, referring to the state
statute. We also have to
keep in mind that the victim who is being chased
is prominently displayed
in that video, as well.
Body cameras small,
chest-mounted video recording devices issued to
on-duty police officers
present a new frontier
of sorts for police forces.
Currently, any data recorded by the devices is
available to the public.
Franzen told the council he believes that body
cameras are inevitable,
but they present several
legal and logistical hurdles, such as the privacy
of those being recorded
and the additional manVIDEO - TO PAGE 6

Minnesota Statute 13.82.Subd.7: Criminal investigative data

Except for the data defined in subdivisions 2, 3,
and 6, investigative data
collected or created by a
law enforcement agency
in order to prepare a case
against a person, whether
known or unknown, for
the commission of a crime
or other offense for which
the agency has primary
investigative responsibility are confidential or
protected nonpublic while
the investigation is active.
Inactive investigative data
are public unless the release of the data would
jeopardize another ongoing investigation or would
reveal the identity of individuals protected under
subdivision 17. Photographs which are part of
inactive investigative files
and which are clearly offensive to common sensibilities are classified as
private or nonpublic data,
provided that the existence of the photographs

shall be disclosed to any

person requesting access
to the inactive investigative file. An investigation
becomes inactive upon
the occurrence of any of
the following events:
(a) a decision by the
agency or appropriate
prosecutorial authority
not to pursue the case;
(b) expiration of the
time to bring a charge or
file a complaint under the
applicable statute of limitations, or 30 years after
the commission of the
offense, whichever comes
earliest; or
(c) exhaustion of or
expiration of all rights of
appeal by a person convicted on the basis of the
investigative data.
Any investigative data
presented as evidence
in court shall be public.
Data determined to be
inactive under clause (a)
may become active if the
agency or appropriate

prosecutorial authority
decides to renew the investigation.
During the time when
an investigation is active,
any person may bring an
action in the district court
located in the county
where the data are being
maintained to authorize

Time to stop the charade of sex offender treatment

Earlier this year, Federal Court
Judge Donovan Frank ruled that
the Minnesotas Sex Offender
Program, under which 720 men
are currently civilly committed,
is unconstitutional.
While these men have served
their prison sentences, the state
has ruled they continue to be at
risk to reoffend and should not
be released.
Instead, they have been committed indefinitely to high-security facilities at Moose Lake and
St. Peter under the supervision
of the Department of Health
and Human Services.
MSOP was challenged in federal court with a lawsuit on behalf of 700 men committed to
these state-run facilities.
Since the program was instituted 20 years ago, only four
people have been provisionally
released and none have been fully released.
The stark reality is there is
something very wrong with this
states method of dealing with
sex offenders, Frank wrote in
his ruling. He also said that with
the way the program is run and
its history, no one has any real
hope of getting out.
This is an anomaly among
similar programs around the
country. For example, in neighboring Wisconsin, 100 offenders
have received full release and 130
more are on provisional release.

Our viewpoint
Wisconsins civil commitment
statute also requires annual risk
assessments. Approximately 350
offenders remain civilly committed in that state, which began the
practice around the same time as
Minnesota.
A program where no measurable results are being achieved is
incarceration masquerading as
treatment. After 20 years, Minnesotans should expect more
out of a program that costs $84
million a year three times the
rate of putting people in prison.
Costs will continue to increase
exponentially as more offenders
are committed and nearly none
are released.
Despite years of criticism of
the program, including a 2011
legislative audit and a more recent task force report, reform
continues to be ignored by legislators and state officials have
gone on record saying it is difficult to make meaningful change
without additional funding.
Judge Frank has said a lack
of funding is not an acceptable
defense.
The states lawmakers, including Gov. Mark Dayton, have argued that the civil commitment
program is constitutional. Dayton has said he and Attorney
General Lori Swanson will ap-

peal Franks decision. Although

earlier this year Dayton had
some money earmarked for reforms, it was pushed aside during budget negotiations.
According to that 2011 legislative audit, MSOPs clients
received less treatment than any
other adult inpatient sex offender treatment program in the
state. In fact, the six hours of
group therapy per week, plus 1.5
hours of educational modules is
less treatment than inmates receive under the Department of
Corrections programs.
Also, there are no regular
risk assessments done on Minnesotas civilly committed sex
offenders. Clients are aging in
place, and the program is now in
a position where nursing home
care is required for the elderly
and disabled.
Dayton said he will not agree
to any changes to the civil commitment program that will put
innocent people in harms way.
We agree. But something must
be done.
After a closed stakeholder
meeting Aug. 10 where no headway was made, Frank swiftly issued a statement encouraging action, or he will impose reforms.
He has given the state until
Sept. 21 to file proposals and
scheduled a public hearing Sept.
30. As those deadlines near, we
urge lawmakers and state offi-

cials to come up with a legitimate

plan that includes regular risk
assessments to evaluate if clients
should continue to be detained
along with meaningful treatment
and less restrictive options for
those who qualify. Funding also
must be designated to make it
happen.
If the incarceration period is
inadequate, its time for legislators to address determinate sentencing guidelines.
Courts have been operating
with the safety net of civil commitment, knowing that if an offender isnt ready to rejoin society when their time is served,
MSOP is waiting in the wings.
The state should also consider
carefully how juvenile offenders
are treated. Sixty-seven juveniles
have been civilly committed to
MSOP, compared to two or three
in Wisconsin. They committed
crimes as boys or adolescents
sometimes as young as 10 and
are now essentially facing a lifesentence of detention.
Typically, recidivism rates
among adolescent sex offenders
are low. According to the National Center on Sexual Behavior of Youth, 5-14 percent of
juvenile sex offenders reoffend.
That compares to approximately
40 percent of adult offenders
who reoffend, Bureau of Justice
statistics say.
The time to fix MSOP is now.

If the can gets kicked into the

2016 election year, the debate
of balancing public safety with
the legality of locking people
up long after their sentence has
been served will become a major
political football.
Its in the best interest of Minnesotans for these high-risk offenders to see a path to rehabilitation and be offered meaningful
treatment. Some will certainly
reoffend as with any other
crime.
This is hard to reconcile, given
the violent and predatory crimes
committed by MSOPs clients.
These people at one time were
deemed either sexually dangerous or to have a sexual-psychopathic personality too dangerous to live among us.
The state needs to be accountable by regularly assessing
whether these civil commitments
are justified.
If the program cant prove
these offenders need to be detained indefinitely, then Minnesota is operating at odds with the
liberties and freedoms Americans are quick to celebrate and
defend.

A commitment to
scally sound decisions
On Wednesday, Sept. 16, the
City of Crystal will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony marking
the opening of our new Public
Works facility on West Broadway Avenue.
Several years ago the City
Council and staff began planning for the replacement of the
existing Public Works facility
on 41st and Brunswick, which
dates back to the 1950s, before
Crystal even became a city, and
was badly in need of replacement.
In 2013 the council and city
staff began discussions about
specific plans for replacing the
building, and had many debates
about the best way to pay for it.
The debate boiled down to that
one side wanted to use existing
cash assets to pay for the building, while the other wanted to
borrow money.
At a simplified level, it was essentially the difference between
using money in our savings account or putting the building
on our credit card and paying
finance charges.
I was on the side of using
cash to pay for the building,
because that way the taxpayers would be getting something
tangible (bricks and mortar) for
their investment instead of having to put taxpayer money into
interest payments.
In municipal accounting,
all of the citys cash assets are
put into one bank account,
and then split up into various
funds, that exist only in our
accounting software and are
used to help city management
plan for the future and manage
the city. All of the money in the
bank account belongs to the
citizens of Crystal, and sometimes it becomes necessary to
shift money from one fund to

another as needs arise.

Earlier this year the City
Council voted 6-1 to use $13.5
million in cash to pay for the
new public works building.
About $10 million was money
that was saved up in a major
building replacement fund, and
this was the primary funding
for the new building. The remainder of the balance came
from other city funds (moving
taxpayer dollars from one paper account to another).
After all obligations for the
public works facility are met,
the city will still have roughly
$42 million in our bank account divided up among the
various funds. The council also
has a preliminary plan in place
to rebuild the major building
fund going forward. We will be
voting on that plan later this
year.
Unfortunately we live in a
city that has an aging infrastructure, and this wont be the
last building we have to replace.
Well also have to address our
aging water and sewer pipes,
roads, and other infrastructure.
My commitment is that I will
always make fiscally sound decisions that balance our needs
for today with the needs of tomorrow, while avoiding unnecessary borrowing expense.
Jim Adams is the mayor of
Crystal and was first elected to
the position in 2010. He has also
served on the West Metro Fire
Rescue District.

Hard to believe its been 14 years

Sept. 11 has come and gone
for the 14th time since the terrible tragedy in New York City.
I was in sixth grade and was in
Mr. Bestors gym class when we
heard the news.
As sixth-graders, my classmates and I did not know what
was exactly happening at the
time.
I remember a couple of my
teachers crying, which made me
and my classmates wonder what
was actually going on. It looked
like something from a movie.
As a sixth-grader, I had no
idea what the impact of 9/11
would have on New York City,
the United States and the world.
The world changed dramatically that day and in the years
since, movies, television shows
and songs have all been influenced by the tragedy.
Rescue Me, an FX television show, is one of my favorite
shows of all time and I watched
it during high school and college.

SUN SAILOR
NEWSPAPERS

The show focuses on the professional and personal lives of

a group of New York City firefighters post-9/11.
The show went on for seven
seasons and the events that happened on 9/11 were prominent
throughout the series.
Movies such as United 93
and World Trade Center were
made to depict what happened
that day.
It is strange to me that Hollywood can make so much money
off tragedies as these two films
grossed $76 million and $163
million, respectively.
It took me a while to realize
that even though Hollywood

County budget increase

of $109.4 million proposed
BY CHRISTIAAN TARBOX
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
A proposal was made to
boost Hennepin Countys
2016 budget by nearly
$110 million, a proposition that would include a
4.5 percent increase in the
countys property tax levy.
Hennepin County Administrator David Hough
delivered a proposal to the
County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday, Sept.
8, suggesting next years
budget to sit at $1.9 billion, a sizeable $109.4 million increase from 2015s
budget. The proposed net
property tax levy would be
$727 million, a 4.48 percent boost from last year.
The proposed budget
represents thoughtful consideration about the current and future needs of
Hennepin County, said
Hough. The proposed
budget you will consider
today and in the coming
months, reflects our rec-

As cool as it was to see
the new building, that
wasnt the best experience.
We took our trip at the
end of June so the weather
was hot.
My mom and I decided
to walk to the Hudson
River to cool down as there
was a breeze near the water.
We were taking pictures
as tourists of cities often
do and an older man on a
bicycle rode by and asked
if we wanted our pictures
together, which we did.
He ended up taking our
picture and we ended up
talking to him for quite
some time.
We dont remember his
name but he was origi-

ommendations on how to
best position the county
for the future and maintain
or enhance our commitment to serve residents.
A number of budget hearings for various
county departments will
be scheduled throughout
the fall, leading to a final
adoption of the county
budget and tax levy on
Tuesday, Dec. 15. Hennepin County-based property owners will receive a
notice detailing the impact
of the maximum levy on
said properties. The maximum property tax levy will
be adopted at the Sept. 22
County Board meeting on
Sept. 22. After that meeting, commissioners may
set the property tax levy
to be lower during subsequent meetings, but it cannot be set higher than the
agreed-upon number from
Sept. 22.
The following postmaximum levy adoption
public budget hearings

will be held in the County

Board Room at the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis:

nally from Milwaukee and

moved to New York City
years ago.
As we could see One
World Trade Center in the
distance, the three of us began talking about 9/11.
He told us where he was
when it happened and how
no one can even imagine
what it was like unless they
were there.
He began crying but
turned the heartbreaking
story into a heartwarming
story.
As most of us know,
New York City gets a bad
rap for having people who
arent the friendliest.
He said that although
they are not known as
the friendliest city, the
citizens of New York
City gathered together
and were united after the
terrorist attacks. He said
it was something he has

never seen in the city in

his many years of living
there.
I will always remember
that man as he educated
my mom and me that day.
He went on to say
laughingly that about a
month later New Yorkers
went back to their usual
ways of flicking each other off when driving and
cursing at bicyclists and
pedestrians.
Most children in schools
today have no recollection
of what happened to the
world on 9/11.
I believe that as long as
people like the old gentleman on the bicycle from
Milwaukee keep telling
stories, they will be passed
down and no one will ever
forget 9/11.

tracks - cut across West
Broadway. The Blue Line
extension would travel
alongside the freight lines
through that area, but the
exact manner in which
West Broadway would
jog over the tracks had
concerned some Crystal
city staff and elected officials, who worried that
the roadways new configuration could impede access to nearby neighborhoods along Vera Cruz
and Welcome Avenues.
Hennepin County officials, on the other hand,
were interested in keeping the roadway as open
- continuous - as possible to allow the smooth
flow of traffic, and Crystal officials worried that
continuity could come at
the expense of neighborhood access.
As a compromise of
sorts, staff and project
planners generally agreed
on a roadway configuration that would place a
roundabout on the east
side of West Broadway.
On the west side of the
intersection,
planners
recommended a re-arranged intersection at
Broadway and Welcome
Avenues with a left-hand
turn lane that they hope
will maintain full access for neighbors there.
The compromise closely resembles Option 4
that was presented at a
July 27 open house, but
has a shortened median
to accommodate those
turning left from Broadway onto Welcome.
Planners also said the

officials, if they choose,
can ask federal regulators
to designate the area as a

There are so many
conflicting needs at this

to try and reconclie all
those needs. The city and

grabbed one of the suspects during an argument. He later told Hillstrom and his friends to
go inside as the two suspects were leaving.
The two suspects went
back inside and struck
Hillstrom, who fell backwards onto the pavement.
He was intubated and
taken to North Memorial
Hospital to be treated.
Hillstrom suffered traumatic brain injury, intracranial
hemorrhaging,
edema of the left cerebral
hemisphere, a temporal
bone fracture, scalp laceration and contusion,
according to police.
Hillstrom was in a medically induced coma but
died Nov. 30, 2014, due to
his injuries.
The Hennepin County
Medical Examiner later
declared the manner of
death was homicide and
cause of death was complications of blunt force
head injury.
Witness interviews and
surveillance video helped
police identify Gantt
as the suspect who first
struck Hillstrom.
Daniele Wright, 27, was
later identified as the second suspect.
He, too, was found not
guilty of second-degree
murder without intent.

Christopher Howard
Gantt, of Brooklyn Park,
was acquitted of seconddegree murder without
intent Sept. 4, after a fatal
bar fight in June 2014.
The 30-year-old was
sentenced to 90 days at
the Hennepin County
workhouse for his fifthdegree assault charge. He
had a credit of 24 days
served and began the remainder of his sentence
Sept. 15.
According to the complaint, New Hope police
was dispatched to Outtakes Bar and Grill
2749 Winnetka Ave. N.,
New Hope around
1:22 a.m. June 14, 2014.
Upon arrival, officers
found 36-year-old Crystal resident John Hillstrom unconscious on

pool of blood underneath
his head.
Hillstrom was on his
back, unresponsive and
had labored breathing,
according to the complaint.

Gophers recruit Howard a threat

everywhere on the eld for Cooper
Howard improved his speed during track season
BY MATTHEW DAVIS
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
Phillip Howard often
looks like the fastest player on the football field
when he breaks away for
his typical long runs.
Coopers star senior
quarterback has made
good use of his speed in
many different ways to the
Hawks whether scrambling, returning kicks,
covering a receiver on defense or making the most
of an interception. With
all of that said, Howard
knows he can still get faster and still has competition he hasnt out-run yet.
A Minnesota recruit at
wide receiver instead of
quarterback, Howard put
his speed to the ultimate
test at the high school

level in running for the

Hawks track team against
the states toughest section for sprints. He went
up against three of the top
four Class AA state meet
finishers in the 200-meter
dash and five of the top
seven in the 100.
It was tough, Howard
said. I didnt know guys
were that fast. People told
me I was fast, but when
you get in track, its like a
whole different speed with
those guys.
Howard
normally
played baseball in the
spring for the Hawks but
opted for track in order to
improve his speed. On the
gridiron, Howards defensive teammates helped the
Hawks QB/safety at least
have the upper hand on
the gridiron against one

of the states top sprinters, Evan McClellon of

Armstrong.
McClellon, known for
his breakaway speed at
running back, mustered
three yards on six carries as the Falcons took
a 26-6 thumping by the
Hawks. Howard, on the
converse, showcased his
speed in that game with a
long kick return and a 33yard touchdown run that
sealed the game early in
the second half, 20-0. He
quickly credited his teams
linemen for blocking first
though.
They made some great
kick-off blocks to get me
up the sideline, and that
touchdown, again, my
offensive line did a great
job, Howard said after
the win.

Howard also tackled a

future Gopher teammate,
Thomas Barber, once
in that game and took a
tackle from him too.
It was fun, Howard
said. Hes a strong guy.
Both Howard and Barber will join the Gophers
next year as members of a
heralded 2016 class, know
as the Empire, that brings
along notable in-state talent to the maroon and
gold. That class includes
Carter Coughlin of Eden
Prairie, Sam Schlueter of
Mayer Lutheran, Matt
Kegel of Chaska and
Conner Olson of Monticello. They got together
at a cabin once over the
summer to build camaraderie in anticipation of
the 2016 season.
As a class, we want
to feel like were the best
class coming out of Minnesota, so we want to

show people that we are,

Howard said.
While Howard will play
wide receiver there, his experience at QB in addition
to his athleticism put him
over the top for receiving
a scholarship offer with
the Gophers.
Coach [Jerry] Kill has
made it perfectly clear
that he enjoys quarterbacks or recruiting quarterbacks because they understand both sides of the
ball, Hawks coach Willie
Howard, no relation, said.
Howard certainly impressed the Gophers staff
with his athleticism too at
the universitys football
camps. The Hawks senior
usually played receiver at
such camps.
Hes fluent, Coach
Howard said.

Falcons rebound with rout at Park Center

Ball gives
Armstrong a
lift offensively
BY MATTHEW DAVIS
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
Armstrong
bounced
back from a disappointing
loss to Cooper in a big way
on Friday, Sept. 11 at Park
Center.
We worked all week on
trying to loosen up, Falcons football coach Jack
Negen said. The first couple weeks [of the season]
went well, and we played
loose and had some fun.

We got a little tense for a

week, so we tried to bring
that back and bring the
fun [and] just play free. I
felt like we did that well.
Did they ever. The Falcons stormed out to a 37-0
lead in the first quarter and
a half en route to a 44-26
win. Cartier Reed had
two rushing touchdowns
for Armstrong in the first
quarter, and Evan McClellon had a 9-yard TD run.
Nate Ball threw a TD
pass to True Thompson for
21 yards, and Ball caught
14-yard TD from Collis
Barber in the second quarter. Ball also had 15 yards
rushing on three carries.

Theres nothing flashy

about him, but he makes
plays when he gets the opportunity, Negen said.
Barbers only passing
TD for the game went to
Ball. The senior quarterback finished with 11-23
passing for 118 yards, a
TD pass and two interceptions.
Falcons running back
Amadu Dunbar also made
a big difference for the
team. Dunbar rushed for
71 yards on 15 carries after missing a big chunk of
the Cooper game the week
before due to injury. Armstrongs offense sputtered
without Dunbar on the

field in that game.

After
Armstrong
mounted their big lead
against Park Center, the
Pirates started to dig out
of the hole when Iowa
recruit Amani Hooker
moved to quarterback due
to an injury to Karl Altenburg. Hooker tossed two
TD passes to TyShonan
Brooks before the half, 3714.
A Pirates rally turned
short lived after a scoreless third quarter as Armstrong extended the lead to
the 30s again with a 9-yard
TD run by Jonas Hagen in
the fourth. Hooker tossed
a couple more TDs in the

final 4:01 with the game

out of reach.
Minnesota
recruit
Thomas Barber led the
Falcons defense with 14
tackles and a sack. Brogan
Hayden and Noah Werden
both picked off passes, and
Anguilo Damiani recovered a fumble. The Falcons
allowed just eleven yards
rushing by the Pirates.
Armstrong (3-1) will
host Irondale (1-3) on Friday at 7 p.m. The Falcons
beat the Knights last year
in New Brighton.

Hawks seek a more

competitive showing in
Metro West girls soccer

 



BY MATTHEW DAVIS
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
Cooper has a 3-2 start
to the girls soccer season
through Sept. 12 as they
seek to become competitive in a big conference.
Metro West Conference play did not treat the
Hawks well in 2014 as they
went 1-5-1. Otherwise, that
Hawks team performed
to a tune of 4-4-1 in nonconference competition,
including a tight section
playoff overtime loss 2-1 to
Armstrong.
We hope we can keep
taking steps forward,
Hawks coach Nick Wetherall said. The past few
years, weve made things
more and more competitive by defending, focusing
on getting back behind the



 
 




ball [and] defending well.

Cooper gave up 1.3 goals
per game last season, and
things look promising to
do more of the same this
fall. The Hawks again has
strong goalkeeping in back
to give themselves a chance
to win every time out.
Junior keeper Dayja Schwichtenberg has already
posted three shutout victories, all in non-conference
games.
Schwichtenberg
has an impressive .929 save
percentage for the season.
Her presence in goal
helps even more this season with the program having heavy graduation numbers last spring.
Goals have been hard to
come by as the Hawks have
scored more than one goal
once this season, a 3-0 win
over Minneapolis South on

Tuesday, Sept. 8. Coopers

other wins came in 1-0 victories over Heritage Christian Academy and North
Branch on Aug. 27 and
29th respectively.
Things didnt go as well
in the Hawks MWC opener at Chanhassen in a 3-0
loss on Thursday, Sept.
10. Cooper had the game
tied through the first half,
0-0, but gave up three goals
eventually while being outshot 18-1.
The Hawks (3-2, 0-1
Metro West) have a chance
to gain momentum in conference play when St. Louis
Park (1-3-2, 0-1 MWC) on
Thursday at 7 p.m. Cooper
fell to SLP 3-0 last season.

Big talent gone but expectations remain high for Falcons swimmers

Many a swimming program would go into rebuild
mode with the graduation
of two Division I swimmers that competed at the

Not for an Armstrong
Falcons team that has high
expectations again under
second-year coach Justin
Zook. He has one topfive state finisher back in
Emma Ruehle and a solid
nucleus of talent looking
to take the next step.
I think we have a strong
enough team to contend
for a top-three finish in the
Northwest Suburban Conference and Section 5AA,
Zook said.

also came in fifth for the
200 at 1:52.9. Moreover,
she helped the 200 freestyle
relay take 7th and the 400
relay 5th at state in 2014.
Armstrong has half of
those relay teams back
with Samantha Sherbert.
She swam for both the 200
and 400 at state, but she
came short of state individually. Sherbet had topeight in finishes in the 50
free at 24.91 seconds and
the 100 free at 54.35.
Krissy Van Laarhoven
could also take the next
step for the Falcons individually after coming shy
of state in 2014. Van Laarhoven had a top-eight finish for the 200 individual
medley at the Section 5AA
meet in 2:10.8. She also
posted a strong personal
best time for the 500 free in
2014 at 5:07.
Krissy will significantly
help fill the void left in the
200 free and 400 free relays
Pirates for homecoming
on Saturday at 3 p.m.
Ironically, Phillip will
face a future collegiate
rival in Park Centers
Amani Hooker, who
chose Iowa for football.
Hooker similarly has
blazing speed and plays
receiver/defensive back.
Both the Hawks and
Pirates bring multiple
other speedy playmakers to the table such as
Hawks running back Levonte Taylor and Pirates
receiver/defensive back
TyShonan Brooks.
With all the quickness,
both teams will look to
keep one another from
making the game a
track meet. Otherwise,
the team that sprints in
the open field the most
could win this one.

Phillips leadership has
the Hawks offense rolling with 39 points per
game, fourth in Class
5A, in addition to starting the season 4-0. He
likewise has helped the
defense shut down opponents to a tune of 12.8
points allowed per game.
The Hawks latest victory
came in a 56-18 rout over
St. Louis Park on Friday,
Sept. 11.
While
the
Hawks
certainly have state as
a goal, Phillip said he
takes the one game at a
time mentality. He has

left by two graduating seniors last year, Zook said.

Recent graduates Courtney Evensen and Rachael
Peterson indeed leave a
void. Evensen, a freshman swimmer at Missouri,
won the state title in the
200 free last year and took
runner-up for the 500 in
addition to swimming the
200 and 400 free relays at
state. Peterson, who now
swims at Division I Wisconsin-Green Bay, likewise had part in the strong
relay finishes at state for
the Falcons in addition to
swimming the 50 and 100
individually.
Zook
sees
Grace
Wollschlager as another
swimmer who could help
fill such voids. He said
Wollschlager is a swimmer
who has all-around ability.
Wollschlager, Van Laarhoven, Sherbet and Ruehle
showed early signs of clicking together with a win in
the 400 free relay against

defending state champion

Wayzata on Sept. 1.
Olivia
Hanzak
has
shown a lot of promise
early on after competing in
club swimming during the
offseason.
She has posted close to
lifetime bests in multiple
events only just two weeks
into the season, Zook
said.
Zook also likes what
he has seen from eighthgrader Sierra Smith, who
has helped with 50, 100,
200 free races. He said that
Smith put in a lot of work
training during the summer.
With that core, the Falcons could match or improve on last years thirdplace finish in the NWSC
after going 6-1 in dual
meets. Armstrong already
has a 2-0 start in conference duals with wins over
Coon Rapids on Tuesday,
Sept. 8 and Andover on
Thursday, Sept. 10.

Hopkins

the third quarter to vault

Edina into the lead, 3521. J.J. Stewart added a
touchdown run in the
fourth quarter to salt it
away.
I liked our offensive
balance, said Boltmann.
We rushed for 191 yards
and passed for 241.
Hopkins had two
standouts in the game.
Ellis led the offense with
three touchdowns. Senior linebacker Andy
Aune was all over the
field defensively, leading
the Royals with 17 tackles.
One big factor in the
game was Edinas opportunistic defense. The
Hornets were able to
force the Royals into five
turnovers.

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

Johnson to Ellis early in
the second quarter.
Edina pulled even, but
then Hopkins scored for
a 21-14 lead when Ellis
crashed in from a yard
out.
As time ran out in the
first half, Edina made
the big play of the night.
Quarterback
Brock
Boltmann threw a 38yard touchdown pass to
Parker Rickert, and the
score was knotted 21-21
at halftime.
A big play at the end
of the first half usually
gives you momentum going into the second half,
said Boltmann. In the
second half, we physically wore them out.
Rickert and Boltmann
had touchdown runs in

Zook again has the Falcons training hard this season, even in a week with
multiple meets.
The Falcons coach
said they, had a successful week in the pool with
most of girls pretty beat
up from a quality dry land
program and intense inwater training. Good racing across the boards, but
we have some big areas to
improve upon.
Against Andover, Ruehle won the 200 free in
1:57.25 and the 500 free
in 5:15.04. Van Laarhoven
took first in the 200 IM
at 2:13.14, and she won
the 100 breaststroke in
1:13.09. Sherbet also won
individually for the 50 free
at 25.72.
Armstrongs 200 free
relay team of Smith, Van
Laarhoven, Sherbet and
Ruehle won their event in
1:44.30. All other Falcons
relay teams came in second.

The Falcons visit Blaine

next in NWSC competition on Thursday, Sept. 17
at 6 p.m.
They have a very large
team which can provide
them with many different possibilities in a dual
meet lineup, Zook said
of Blaine. Should be a
fun meet out at Northdale
Middle school.
Armstrong had a big
non-conference test earlier on Sept. 1 when they
fell 94-84 to defending
state champion Wayzata.
Ruehle had a strong showing in the 200 IM for second place in 2:10.88 in addition to winning the 100
backstroke. Wollschlager
had a big day in winning the 100 butterfly at
1:01.52. Van Laarhoven
claimed a victory in the
500 at 5:13.83.
