Chisago Lakes 6, North Branch 4
Karston Edson’s unassisted goal for Chisago Lakes at 8:56 of the third period broke a 4-4 tie, and the Wildcats went on to beat the North Branch Vikings 6-4 this past Tuesday, February 16 at Chisago Lakes Arena. The Vikings’ Tucker Sachs scored three of his team’s four goals, his second hat trick in the last three games.
The contest between the archrivals North Branch and Chisago Lakes had everything a fan could ask for – lots of action and lots of scoring – although it’s the kind of game that can sometimes make coaches’ hair turn just a bit grayer.

Why did you take the decoy carving class? I have a friend who took it, he was a senior, and he had told me about it. I do a lot of hunting and fishing and stuff, so I thought it might be a fun class to take just to see if I can make a decoy that looks pretty realistic. I always just fell into art and to do this stuff, I’m a lot more passionate about it.
