stangs in sweet sixteen
mounds view defeated an explosive roseville raider team tonight, advancing to the section championship game. as the clock ticked to zero, there were warm and sportsmanlike handshakes all around. nice moment.white bear lake travels to mustang stadium for the section final friday night. the lads beat the bears in week 3, but know they'll be up against a battle-hardened and tough-as-nails white bear lake team this time.
dan mcmahon photography is responsible for fine game photos such as the one above. it shows how one of tonight's heroes, fullback andy osbourne, gets low and surveys the field as the o-line pries open a nice li'l hole. i'm sure that it just looks like #71 has a handful of the opponent's jersey.

way to go!
my 8th grade mustang has the first playoff Tuesday night, but he'll be playing cello instead. if they win that night, they'll have a game Thursday.
so he's not supposed to be holding onto that jersey?
dang, timna. did you see the strib story on john rux? http://www.startribune.com/526/story/1486403.html
he's mounds view's tough 260-pound d-tackle, as well as its first-chair cellist. good luck with your 8th-grader. i keep telling mine that things will start improving next year...
I did see the article on john rux! chippewa's orchestra director called me last week to see if delaying the concert for an hour would be helpful, but then she said she thought it would cause too much trouble. the two boys seem to be less concerned about missing the game than the parents, coaches or director...
I appreciate your point of view -- all I know about high schoolers is from my girl child. not sure what high school is going to be like for my boy!
