Potter’s lawyers file motion to dismiss

first-degree manslaughter charge
By KEVIN MILLER her hand was a gun, or that
kevin.miller@apgecm.com

Former Brooklyn Cen-

ter Police officer Kim Pot-
ter’s lawyers recently filed
a motion in Hennepin
County District Court to
dismiss her first-degree
manslaughter charge
in the fatal shooting of
Daunte Wright.
Minnesota Attorney
General Keith Ellison
added a count of first-de-
gree manslaughter to Pot-
ter’s existing second-de-
gree manslaughter charge
early in September.
If convicted, the charge
comes with a minimum
three-year prison term,
and a maximum sen-
tence of 15 years and/or a
$30,000 fine.
In April, Potter shot and
killed 20-year-old Wright
during a traffic stop in
Brooklyn Center near
63rd Avenue and Orchard
Avenue.
Former Brooklyn Cen-
ter Police Chief Tim Gan-
non said he believed Pot-
ter, a field training officer,
intended to fire her Taser
rather than her service pis-
tol.
Civil unrest followed the
shooting, and Potter re-
signed from her role with
the Police Department.
She was arrested and ini-
tially charged with second-

Americorps still seeking 16 reading,
math tutors for Maple Grove schools
Even before the pandemic, more
than 375,000 school age children in
Minnesota were estimated to need
extra help with reading and math.
Now, after more than a year of dis-
ruptions to learning due to COV-
ID-19, the need is likely even higher.
Responding to these unprecedent-
ed educational challenges, Ameri-
Corps is seeking 10 Reading Corps
and six Math Corps tutors in Maple
Grove for the 2021-22 school year.
Overall, Reading Corps and Math
Corps are recruiting 1,700 tutors for
Minnesota schools.

Potter’s shouts of “I’ll

that she believed to be

yers argued.
Potter’s lawyers also
wrote that she was acting
within the state’s use of
force statute, and that the
criminal complaint under-
sells Wright’s actions in
the incident.
Wright was driving a
vehicle with expired li-
cense plates, with an ob-
ject hanging from the rear
view mirror, with a war-
rant for his arrest autho-
rized by Hennepin County
District Court, and a re-

Now is the time to amend our Constitution

By REP. DEAN PHILLIPS
Guest Columnist
Gratitude – immense grati-
tude – is what I felt on Constitu-
tion Day.
Two hundred and thirty-four
years ago, a group of historians,
intellectuals, and revolutionar-
ies agonized over the wording of
what would become our found-
ing document. They were creat-
ing a new form of government,
one that would guarantee power
centered in the hands of the citi-
zens. Their tireless efforts, prin-
cipled debate, and commitment
to a more perfect union paid off;
on Sept. 17, 1787, the delegates
to the Constitutional Conven-
tion gathered in Philadelphia
and signed the U.S. Constitu-
tion.
Immediately following the
convention, concerns that the
new Constitution did not suf-
ficiently protect the individual
rights of the people ignited a
discussion over how to best en-
shrine these protections. Within
four years the first 10 amend-
ments – the Bill of Rights – were
added.
For months, my staff and I
have worked to secure safe pas-
sage out of Afghanistan for
hundreds of people. They are
fleeing a country where there is
no Bill of Rights on which to
depend for the many freedoms
which we often take for granted
here in the United States.
Our Constitution is our bed-
rock, the ultimate law of the
land. Even so, there have been
times in our history, whether
due to a changing society, in-
terpretations by the Supreme
Court contrary to the will of
the people, or other necessi-
ties, when this document has
required amendment. This is a
process both considered and ex-
pected by the Founding Fathers
and enshrined in the Consti-
tution itself. Since our found-
ing, the Constitution has been
amended 27 times.
While amending the Constitu-
tion should not be a task taken
lightly, I believe we are at a mo-
ment in time when an amend-
ment is needed to reflect the cur-
rent state of our political system
that our Founding Fathers could
never have envisioned.
In Congress, I am on a mis-
sion to restore Americans’ faith
in government, and I believe one
of the best ways to accomplish
this goal would be to reduce
the influence of big money in
our politics and return power
to the people, where it right-
fully belongs. That is why I am
a proud supporter of House
Joint Resolution 1, a proposed
amendment to the Constitu-
tion which would give states and
Congress the ability to regulate
how campaigns are financed.
This amendment is needed after
the Supreme Court ruled over a
decade ago to remove many of
the limits on moneyed interests.
The Supreme Court based its
decision on First Amendment
protections, ludicrously declar-
ing that corporations are people
and money is speech.
Since joining Congress, I have
watched with disdain as big
money buys access and favor-
able policies in Washington and
effectively disenfranchises mil-
lions of Americans. According
to Issue One, just 12 individual
Americans and their spouses
(six Democrats and six Repub-
licans) have contributed $3.4
billion to federal candidates and
political groups since 2009 – ac-
counting for almost $1 of every
$13 raised. Think about that for
a moment.
There is a constant tug of war
in Washington between the will
of the people and the demands
of special interests. Members of
Congress collectively spend over
10,000 hours per week, yes, per
week, in pursuit of campaign
dollars – calling donors, attend-
ing fundraising events, and giv-
ing preference to lobbyists with
deep pockets. In return, well-
organized and financed inter-
ests shell out millions every year
because they know that money
buys access and influence in DC.
As we take the time to reflect
on our Constitution and the sys-
tem of governance our found-
ers designed and implemented
over 200 years ago, how would
they feel about the legalized cor-
ruption that has transpired in
America? I suspect they would
be aghast by the concentra-
tion of power and money that
is drowning out the voices and
needs of everyday Americans.
The time for this amendment
is now. Let those who repre-
sent you at all levels of govern-
ment know this is important to
you. Passing and ratifying the
amendment is a necessary first
step to allow states and Con-
gress to reduce the influence of
big money in our politics. And,
most of all, be grateful that our
founders had the prescience to
provide the flexibility to amend
the brilliant document they
crafted to guide our remarkable
– but imperfect – nation.
Dean Phillips represents Minne-
sota’s 3rd Congressional District
in the U.S. House of Representa-
tives.

for smooth and successful tran-

must “be reviewed and revised at
least annually by the student, the
student’s parent or guardian.”
I’ll say more about how different

Retired Maple Grove band teacher realizes French dreams
By KRISTEN MILLER
kristen.miller@apgecm.com

Although husband and

wife Chip Williams and
Joni Sutton were longtime
Plymouth residents, they
had long dreamed of life
in France.
After they both retired
as band teachers 10 years
ago – Williams from Way-
zata High School and Sut-
ton from Maple Grove
Junior High – the couple
decided the time was right
to take that leap.
Europe had always been
a special place for them.
After all, it’s where the
two first met 30 years ago
while on a tour through
the Minnesota Ambassa-
dors of Music program,
which offers opportuni-
ties to high school band
students to perform across
Europe.
“We started realizing a
good 10 years before we
retired, that we wanted
an experience in Europe
– specifically in France
– where we weren’t liv-
ing like tourists, but we
were just living,” Sutton
said. “Doing the day-to-
day things that you do at
home.”
Rather than just visit,
they wanted to be im-
mersed in it.
“We’ve done many trips
that were the ‘two nights
here, three nights there’
kind of trips that after two
or three weeks, you’re ex-
hausted and you just want
to go home and rest,” Wil-
liams said.
This trip was going to be
something different.
After talking and
dreaming for years, they
eventually began saving
and planning. In the fall
of 2011, they decided to
embark on a three-month
stay in a small town in
the region of Burgundy,
France.
They rented a place on
a working vineyard in the
wine region of Côte de
Beaune, which the couple
described as having pic-
turesque hills covered in
grapevines.
While the rental’s web-
site said the property was
a working vineyard, “we
had no idea how immersed
we would be in observing
this wine-making pro-
cess until we were there
... opening the windows
in the morning and seeing
all of these wine barrels
outside our window in the
courtyard,” and the smell
of wine wafting through,
Sutton shared.
From the picturesque
vineyards and hiking to
the wine and food, they
quite simply fell in love
with France.
“I just think it’s a beau-
tiful country with terrifi-
cally friendly people,” Wil-
liams said. “And I know
just enough French to get
into trouble.”
“And I know enough to
Plymouth couple Joni Sutton (also a retired Maple Grove Junior High School band teacher) and Chip Williams decided to live in
France a few months a year after retiring as band directors 10 years ago. They are pictured sitting at a sidewalk café on the Ile
Saint-Louis in Paris. (Submitted photos)
try to get it him out of it,”
his wife responded.
Sutton began studying
French in high school, and
continues learning to this
day at Alliance Française
in Minneapolis.
“I must really enjoy a
challenge, I guess. And I
don’t accept defeat, be-
cause it’s so hard as an
adult to learn another lan-
guage, but I keep trying,”
she said.
The couple really ap-
preciates the slowed-down
French lifestyle.
“It’s relaxing, where
people really savor a meal
instead of chowing it
down without tasting it,”
Sutton said, noting that
the latter practice was
something they were both
accustomed to as teachers.
“You would never be
rushed out of a cafe,” she
said.
Sutton fell in love with
the country as a child,
sharing how it all be-
gan in the couples’ newly
published book, “French
Bliss,” which they wrote
to share experiences and
obstacles they overcame
while first living in France
10 years ago.
THE PLAN
When the couple relayed
their plans to move to
France for three months,
they were undoubtedly
met with skepticism.
“Quite honestly, I think
most of our friends and
family thought this was
going to be a disaster,”
Sutton said, as they both
laughed.
While some thought
they would be lonely and
homesick, two of their
sons thought they’d never
come back.
“They know us,” Sutton
laughed.
The couple didn’t let
their spirit of adventure
and passion for interna-
tional travel rush their
plans. Rather, they took
the time studying the dif-
ferent regions of France,
looking for a long-term
vacation rental that would
best fit their interests and
budget.
Ultimately, they went
over there with a specific
purpose of visiting five or
six different places in vari-
ous areas of the country.
By doing so, they were
able to then decide which
place fit their lifestyle the
best.
“The fact that it was on
a working vineyard with
vines literally in the back-
yard was just a bonus,”
Williams said.
They’ve been there five
times since and are going
back this fall.
After not visiting for two
years due to the pandemic,
the Plymouth residents are
really looking forward to
reconnecting with their
friends when they return
in October.
“We hoped for it, but
what we didn’t really
count on was that we were
going to make such close
friends,” Sutton said, shar-
ing how they were warmly
welcomed by the family
that owned the vacation
rental and lived also on-
site.
They will also be stay-

Plymouth couple Joni Sutton
and Chip Williams recently
wrote a book, “French Bliss,”
on “how two retirees find
their way in France.” The
book is available online at
books2read.com/u/mBZNeO.
“In French, if you just
learn those three phrases,
most people will be ex-
ceedingly helpful to you,”
Williams said.
For those who have nev-
er traveled Europe, tak-
ing a trip through a tour
group “might be a good
way to go the first time
you go over there,” Sutton
said.

They also hope the book
will encourage others to

some long-range planning.
“I think people should
have confidence in them-

Champlin approves preliminary budget Osseo fire to get new pagers

Champlin... from page 1
The HRA levy’s estimated
impact on a median-valued
home is less than $3 annually,
Peterson said.
Other information Peterson
said that was relevant for city
taxpayers is that transfers make
up roughly 20% of the general
fund expense budget, which
“provide resources to support
the city’s aging infrastructure
and equipment.” The Capital
Improvement Plan includes
over $16 million in infrastruc-
ture projects, equipment, and
technology planned for 2022.
New initiatives featured in
the 2022 preliminary budget
include: a citizens survey, im-
proving crosswalk intersections,
adding a sergeant to the patrol
division, adding a human re-
source coordinator, adding a
communications coordinator,
and the Ice Forum storage ex-

pansion project.
The next steps for the 2022
proposed budget and tax levy
after the City Council’s approv-
al on Sept. 13 include the pro-
posed levy being due to Hen-
nepin County by Sept. 30, and
additional budget discussions
scheduled in October and No-
vember. Then on Dec. 13, the
City Council will host a public
meeting and formally adopt
a final 2022 tax levy and bud-
get, which is due to Hennepin
County by Dec. 28.
Osseo... from page 1
They can only be pro-
grammed to monitor one radio
frequency, and currently, that
channel is the Hennepin County
Fire Main channel. According
to Phenow’s staff report, most
fire departments in the county,
including Osseo, are dispatched
by the dispatch division of the
Hennepin County Sheriff’s Of-
fice.
There has been an increase in
the volume of calls, according
to Phenow, which can “crowd
airwaves” and lead to delays in
initial pages going out.
He said the solution is to have
multi-channel pagers that can
be programmed to listen to ra-
dio traffic from several channels
and allow firefighters to get all
the necessary information as
quickly as possible.
The Osseo Fire Relief Associ-
ation also provided the depart-
ment with a matching $4,914
donation to cover the remainder
of the costs for the purchase of
the 21 new pagers.
“There is no cost to the city,”
Phenow said.
Councilor Harold Johnson
asked, “How many active fire-
men do you have now?” Phe-
now said there were 24 active
firefighters. He added in the
long-run he would like to have
a total of 30 of the pagers, but
will seek other sources of fund-
ing to purchase the remaining
pagers in the future.
Johnson wondered why the
department did not ask for a
larger grant. Phenow said the
max grant amount allowed was
$5,000.
The council accepted the
grant and approved the pur-
chase of the pagers.

By ANTHONY IOZZO
anthony.iozzo@apgecm.com
Champlin Park boys soc-
cer has a new head coach
this season in Brady Hicks,
and with that change also
comes a new system.
And while it took a few
games with a season-open-
ing 3-2 loss at Maple Grove
Aug. 28 and a challenging
3-2 win at Rogers on Aug.
31, the Rebels are starting
to get into a groove after a
6-0 win over Elk River Sept.
18, which is the fifth straight
of the season.
The new style is based
on keeping the ball and re-
cycling the ball when pres-
sure comes in order to wear
teams down and create op-
portunities that way, as op-
posed to going directly at a
team and trying to score by
quickly moving the ball up
the field.
“That’s taken a bit of
adapting for the boys, so
the start of our season
wasn’t ideal,” Hicks said.
“A couple of tough games
right off the bat. I would
have liked to work our way
into those, but that’s just the
way it works out. We have
been getting better each
and every game by doing
the things that I am asking
them to do.”
Hicks said it wasn’t hard
for the team to buy into his
plan with several seniors
playing for his club team.
And now things seem to
be “rolling in the right di-
rection.”
“They are good soccer
players,” Hicks said. “They
want to win. They thought
that this new system was
the best way for them to win
this year, so it didn’t take a
whole lot of convincing.”
The key for the system to
work is to be able to handle
pressure from teams and
not get caught falling into
old traps of chucking up
long balls from the back-
field and midfield and rely-
ing on the forwards to make
things happen, Hicks said.
In the win over Elk River,
the Rebels held possession
for around 80 percent of
the time and were able to
put the ball wherever they
wanted. That led to four
goals in the first half and
another two in the second

Osseo boys soccer faced a
tough challenge when they
hosted Champlin Park (3-

first five minutes of the con-
test, the Rebels struck for a
goal and added five more en

the Orioles. Senior Abdul-

goals for Osseo.
Then on Sept. 18, the
Orioles hosted Armstrong

The real test will come
against teams like Park

But that doesn’t take
away from the win streak
which just got an explana-
tion point on senior recog-
nition day.
Senior midfielder Kaden
Vinar had a really big game
on a warm Saturday after-
noon, earning a hat trick
with three goals.
“We had a big crowd so –
I mean that always gets me
excited,” Vinar said. “I work
hard every game, but today
I just felt really good.”
Vinar scored first in the
fifth minute and almost
added a second goal min-
utes later, but he had anoth-
er opportunity in the 35th
minute after a beautiful
through ball found its way
to him as he was splitting
two defenders.
Vinar worked ahead for a
1-on-1 with the goalie, and
he buried the ball into the
lower left part of the net for
a 4-0 lead.
Vinar’s final goal came in
the 44th minute.
“This year, from last
year, there’s been a lot of
changes,” Vinar said. “And
so I think the way we have
adapted so far has been
relatively well. Obviously
at first, we had some kinks,
oles to a record of 1-3-3.

Junior captain midfield-
er Paige Kalal was one of
the driving forces toward
potential offense on Satur-
day with a free kick saved
in the first half and several
corner kicks.
Kalal had a shot go
wide left to start the sec-
ond half, but one of the
best chances was a pass to
senior defender Bella Van-

also had a shot go wide
left in the first half, put a
little too much power into
the shot and it went over
the net.

Kilzer, South lead Crimson to dominant win over Skippers
By SAM JOHNSON
sam.johnson@apgecm.com
If three games are any indi-
cation as to how good or bad
a football team is, fifth-ranked
Maple Grove (2-0) is turning
heads. Coming into week 3 as the
seventh-ranked team in the state,
they hosted eighth-ranked Min-
netonka (2-0) and their stellar de-
fense, which had held opponents
to a combined 10 points in the
first two games.
On the other side, the Crimson
had outscored their opponents
105-25 in the first eight quarters
of action. On Sept. 17, in front
of a packed Crimson Stadium
crowd, with students decked out
in cowboy and western garb,
something had to give between
these two top-10 teams.
With the Skippers cluing in
on senior running back Derrick
Jameson, who came into the game
tied for the state lead in rushing
touchdowns with six, it was ju-
nior quarterback Jacob Kilzer
who put on an offensive show,
recording five total touchdowns,
and a defense headlined by senior
Maple Grove senior defensive end
Mason South sacks Minnetonka
quarterback Milos Spasojevic on
Sept. 17. South finished with five
sacks, eight tackles for loss, and 10
total tackles.

against Minnetonka. Peters finished with two receptions, 57 yards, and a
touchdown. (Photos by Sam Johnson)
Mason South’s five sacks, that led
Maple Grove to a 35-7 victory.
On the opening drive of the
game, Kilzer, who is, according to
his head coach Matt Lombardi,
getting better every week, found
a hole in the defense and ran for
a 25-yard touchdown, giving the
Crimson an early 7-0 lead. After
the defense held Minnetonka to
a three-and-out on their opening
possession, Kilzer and the Maple
Grove offense were faced with
a fourth down from the Skip-
pers 30 yard line. They decided
to go for it, and it paid off. Kil-
zer found Jameson for a running
back screen and the senior took
it the distance. Two drives in, like
the previous two games, the score-
board read 14-0 Maple Grove.
Part of what makes Kilzer so
special for the Crimson offense,
according to Lombardi, is the
ability to scramble and keep plays
alive with his feet. Whether it be
a pass downfield or a quarterback
keeper, the dual-threat ability of
Kilzer makes it hard for opposing
defenses to key in on the offense.
“We’ve been doing a lot of good
work at practice and we saw it
play out during the game,” Kilzer
said. “Jacob is growing week-by-
week,” Lombardi said. “He does a
great job at keeping plays alive. A
lot of those drives he bought time
and made a huge play. Watching
him become the quarterback he is
has been fun.”
With a 14-point lead, the Crim-
son got the ball back and when
they were down in Minneton-
ka territory again, the offense
botched a pitch play, which led to
a Skippers fumble recovery and
run back to the Maple Grove red
zone. The visitors capitalized on
the turnover and made it 14-7.
But from that point on, it was
all Crimson. Next Maple Grove
drive, Kilzer found his junior tight
end Sam Peters wide open on a
seam route down the middle of
the field for a 48-yard touchdown
and a 21-7 lead.
While the offense provided the
scoreboard-changing plays, the
defense kept the pressure on the
Skippers all night long. All night
long, South terrorized the Min-
netonka offensive line and if he
didn’t register a sack, someone
else on the defense made sure the
backfield was occupied. Senior
captain Cade Cook recovered a
fumble on the possession after
Peters’ touchdown, which set up
a seven-yard Kilzer touchdown
run. “Our defensive effort has
been outstanding in the first three
games,” South said. “We play
hard, fast, and physical defense
that makes opposing teams frus-
trated as the game goes on.”
Then, on the ensuing kickoff,
Minnetonka fumbled again, re-
covered by Maple Grove. Kilzer
again used his legs to capitalize
on the short field and increase the
lead to 35-7. That was the score
at intermission, and both teams’
defense ruled the game thereon.
South recorded most of his sacks
in the final 24 minutes, which was
a big reason no more scoring took
place in the second half. By the
final whistle, the Crimson walked
off the field victorious, improving
to 3-0 on the season.
“I thought we came out and re-
ally played well in the first half on
both sides of the ball,” Lombardi
said. “The defense set the tone for
the whole night. If we are going
to have great success, it starts with
our defense.”
The work shown on Friday
night is a testament to what is
done the rest of the week, and
South credits his performance,
five sacks and eight tackles for
loss, on the preparation to face
the Skippers. “Our performance
this week all comes down to prep-
aration,” South said. “We had a
fantastic week in practice and got
great looks from the scout team,
and we had great coverage down-
field that led to our defensive line
dominating all night long.”
“Mason had one of those
games you circle for a lifetime,”
Lombardi said. “He got in a
groove in the second half and ev-
ery time you looked up, Mason
was making a play. He is a great
leader and kids look up to him.”
However, one element of the
game Lombardi didn’t like was
the penalties. In the second half
alone, the Crimson were called for
10 infractions.
He said this was the first game
all year in which they played a
team with Minnetonka’s physi-
cality for four quarters, which
he thought caused some fatigue
among players and a loss of con-
centration. A lack of concentra-
tion is not in the game plan for the
team’s next contest at Centennial
on Friday, the Cougars’ home-
coming game.
The last time this Crimson
team lost was week 3 last season
against the Cougars by a score
of 13-6. “Centennial plays hard-
nosed and we know they will
come out and play great football,”
Lombardi said. “It is homecom-
ing, and it should be rocking. It’ll
be a lot of fun.”

the game with five total touchdowns
(three rushing, two passing).

Unbeaten Crimson boys, girls soccer continue to rise in state rankings

By SAM JOHNSON
sam.johnson@apgecm.com
Anytime you face a con-
ference rival, expect the
intensity of the game to be
greater than just a non-con-
ference opponent. So, when
the fourth-ranked Maple
Grove (4-0-0) boys soc-
cer squad traveled to Park
Center (3-0-1) on Sept. 14,
no surprise, they were in a
dogfight.
With the Crimson jump-
ing out to a 2-1 lead at half-
time, the Pirates wouldn’t
go away. But in the end,
Maple Grove made just
enough plays to escape with
a 4-3 victory.
Senior Jordan Ross was
the man of the match for
the Crimson. He scored the
first two goals of the first
half for the visitors and
assisted on junior Carter
Sheard’s opening goal of
the second. But Park Cen-
ter stayed within striking
distance of the lead, thanks
to a hat-trick of goals from
senior Sidike Jabateh.
With under five minutes
remaining in the game,
Maple Grove held a 3-2
lead, and once again, it was
Ross making a big play. He
scored his third goal on
the night, but most impor-
tantly, one that proved to be
best.
Thanks to two huge sec-
ond-half goals, the Crim-
son escaped with a 2-1 win
and a statement victory. In
the first half, it was the Roy-
als who got on the score-
board first thanks to a goal
from senior Avery Farrell.
The score remained 1-0
in favor of Rogers heading
into the second half, but in
the last 40 minutes, Maple
Grove made their presence
known. After making a
few halftime adjustments,
senior Sarah Nistler and
junior Franni Gustanski

Crimson volleyball goes 4-3 on week, Orioles 3-3
By SAM JOHNSON
sam.johnson@apgecm.com
After a 3-2 showing at
the Southwest Minnesota
Challenge in Marshall the
past weekend, Maple Grove
volleyball resumed league
play on Sept. 14 when they
traveled to face Rogers. The
Royals came into the match
with a 7-2 record and while
the Crimson had momen-
tum from their last two
straight-set wins in Mar-
shall over two metro teams,
they were humbled this
night.
Rogers came out and
started the match with a
25-14 opening-set win, fol-
lowed by a closer 25-20 vic-
tory to go up two sets to
none.
While the Crimson had
a history in coming back
down 0-2 earlier this sea-
son against St. Michael-
Albertville, they couldn’t
harness the magic against
the Royals. Rogers finished
the straight-sets victory
with a 25-18 third-set score
and improved to 8-2 on the
season.

Roseville on Sept. 7. Hentges finished the match with one kill
and two digs. (Photo by Sam Johnson)
Then on Sept. 18, the
Crimson competed in the
Hopkins Royals Invitation-
al, where they went 4-2 in
six matches. Maple Grove
opened with two dominant
straight-sets victories over
Robbinsdale Cooper (25-
5, 25-13) and Spring Lake
Park (25-12, 25-14), fol-
lowed by two more wins
against Hopkins (25-17, 19-
25, 15-5) and Minneapolis
Southwest (25-13, 25-13).
However, they ended play
with two, three-set losses
versus familiar foe Rogers
(25-23, 23-25, 11-15), and
Blaine (25-18, 18-25, 11-15).
After the Invitational, the
Crimson’s record stood at
10-6.
OSSEO
The Osseo Orioles volley-
ball squad continued their
solid play as they went 3-3
this last week. Osseo began
the week winning both its
matches against Robbin-

Centennial on Sept. 9. Swiers finished the match with four kills
and four digs. (Photo courtesy of Maple Grove volleyball)
sdale Cooper and Spring
Lake Park, respectively.
Cooper (2-5) battled Osseo
tough on Sept. 13, but the
Orioles showed their moxy
by making crucial late-set
plays, leading to a straight-
set victory.
Osseo won the first set
25-23, then took the sec-
ond 25-14, before narrowly
escaping the third frame
25-22. Senior Alana Bauer
led the team with nine kills,
freshman Jordan Ondrey
had 11 assists, and senior
Alyssa Tovsen recorded 11
digs in a great all-around
team effort.
Two days later, the Ori-
oles traveled to face Spring
Lake Park (0-5). Even
though the Panthers were
winless up to that point,
they played with fervor and
pushed Osseo to the brink.
Spring Lake Park captured
the first set decisively 25-13,
but the Orioles responded
with a gritty 26-24 second-
set win.
Next Osseo took the third
set 25-15, but the Panthers
had a response, winning the
fourth 25-12. In a sequence
of back-and-forth lopsided
set wins by both teams, the
fifth and final set proved to
be like the second, tightly
contested. But it was the
Orioles who made more
plays and escaped with a
15-12 set win and a 3-2
match victory.
Freshman Audrey Krato-
chwill led the team with 16
kills, Ondrey recorded 26
assists, and Bauer had 18
digs.
Then starting on Sept.
18, the Orioles traveled
down to Farmington to
compete in the Farming-
ton Invitational, where they
went 1-3 in four matches.
Osseo opened with a nar-
row two sets to one victory
over Mahtomedi (13-25, 27-
25, 16-14) but then dropped
the last three matches to
Mayer Lutheran in straight
sets (25-13, 25-8), Farming-
ton in three sets (15-25, 25-
22, 10-15), and Faribault in
two sets (10-25, 18-25).
After the Invitational, the
Orioles’ record stood at 5-4.

Crimson’s Adkins wins 100th singles match

By SAM JOHNSON
sam.johnson@apgecm.com
Maple Grove girls tennis hosted
Spring Lake Park on Sept. 14 and
continued their positive momentum
with a 7-0 sweep over the Panthers.
Senior Zoe Adkins achieved a mile-
stone for the Crimson — her 100th
win in varsity number one singles.
Adkins, a four-star recruit and the
second-ranked player in the state ac-
cording to Tennis Recruiting, won
her singles match 6-2, 6-1. Freshman
Maddie Larsen (6-0, 4-6, 10-4), ju-
nior Gabi Parker (6-0, 6-2), and se-
nior Thien-Y Nguyen (6-0, 6-1) also
won their respective singles matches.
Seniors Ally Kalinsky and Neeru Up-

Smith and Avery Spratt (6-0, 6-0),
and senior Sarah McGraw and fresh-
man Charlotte Bakke (6-2, 6-0) all
