Jamison Pfingston from Rapid City Stevens signed a letter of intent to compete in men’s tennis at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, Colorado.
Pfingston is one of the top ranked tennis players in the state and he finished third in both flight one singles and flight one doubles at the 2019 state boys tennis tournament.
“I just thought it was a great school just because they have good weather there and it’s a good place in the country,” Jamison Pfingston said. “So I think it will really take my academics and athletics to another level there.”
Elouise Suoja, a senior at Mahtomedi High School, has her own baking business, 350 Degrees Bakery. Suoja recently started selling her baked goods at Anchor Coffee House in White Bear Lake.
âI started baking muffins and cookies at home about four years ago. Then when I was a sophomore, I got a job at My Little Cakes in Stillwater, and that really taught me how to bake. Basically, everything I learned is from there,â Suoja said.
Since then, sheâs catered for weddings, parties and has baked private orders on her own. At the end of this past summer, Suoja began supplying Anchor Coffee House with her baked goods.

When 2019 Summit High School graduate Max Duxbury left the Tigers lacrosse program for Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Max’s younger brother, Andrew, lost the one guy who could challenge him at Summit practices. Or so it seemed.
Toward the end of that 2019 season, a young, small and unassuming sophomore named Will Wagner took the step up and scored a game-winning goal versus Eagle Valley. It was Wagner’s key moment en route to becoming a strong enough player that, like Andrew Duxbury, he would earn an offer to play Division II lacrosse in college.
