Rangers rally to down Duluth East in section final
They've done it. Forest Lake's basketball boys erased an 11-point halftime deficit to beat Duluth East 71-64 in a thrilling section final in Elk River Friday night. The win earns the program its fourth trip to state and its first since 1999. Sam Miller converted two critical three-point plays in the paint down the stretch to give the Rangers a lead. Greyhound star Dyami Starks hit two straight three-pointers to pull Duluth East within one at 62-61 with 2:20 remaining, but junior Phil Hegseth responded with a three-pointer with 1:40 left to give the Rangers a cushion they would not relinquish. Doug Sewall had a team-leading 20 points, and Zach Riedeman scored 16 of his 19 in the second half. Forest Lake will open the state tournament at the Target Center on Wednesday.

Former Forest Lake resident Ken Anderson has tied his best-ever finish in the Iditarod sled dog race. The Fairbanks, AK resident was the fourth musher to Nome, where he arrived at 9:25 Tuesday night (Alaska time). The 10-year veteran of the race also came in fourth in 2008.
