Jordan Ode of Maple Grove honored as Minnesota's Miss Basketball

Jordan Ode was hoping to inspire future girls basketball players in Maple Grove. She accomplished that.

The Crimson senior was named Miss Basketball on Friday night at the Minnesota All-Star Banquet at the Grand Event Center in Northfield. The award is presented to the best senior high school girls basketball player in the state.

“Every day I go out hoping to inspire someone to do something similar to what I’m doing,” Ode said during the season.

She was also the school’s winner of the Athena Award, which is presented to senior girls for excellence and leadership in sports and academics.

“I hope I’ve left a legacy for the younger girls to follow when they get to the level that I’m at,” Ode said. “The biggest thing I can do is inspire the next generation of girls basketball players at Maple Grove.”

A four-year starter, Ode is the program’s all-time leading scorer with over 2,300 career points after averaging 25.2 points per game in her final season. She’s a 6-foot combo guard who can play any position and is the state’s top-rated basketball recruit in the Class of 2025.

“Jordan is one of the most versatile players I have ever worked with,” Maple Grove coach Mark Cook said. “She has worked so hard on her skill set to make sure she can beat you in different ways.”

Arching overhead aquarium highlights $4.4M Windermere lakefront estate

Arching overhead aquarium highlights $4.4M Windermere lakefront estate

A home with a fish tank isn’t unique. But what about a 650-gallon arched saltwater aquarium that you walk under to enter the living room?

“It was custom-made for this space and I believe it was a $150,000 fish tank just to put it in,” said listing agent Harif Hazera with Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. “It is definitely one of the most unique things I’ve ever seen in a home period. Bar none.”

An offer is pending on the home on 2nd Avenue in Windermere, which offers five bedrooms, six bathrooms, 5,639 square feet and is listed for $4.395 million, according to GrowthSpotter.

The seller has only owned the place for a little over a year and has put more than $350,000 worth of improvements into it.

“It’s just so bright in there, tons of natural sunlight. It really does epitomize what lakefront living is all about in Windermere or in Central Florida,” Hazera said. “It’s really, truly spectacular and move-in ready.”

This is the second time Hazera has sold this home recently.

“[The seller] got relocated for work. That’s the only reason he’s selling. He made all of these improvements and now someone else is going to enjoy it, but he did not get a chance to enjoy them himself.”

Part of the updates included new windows and doors, a kitchen, landscaping, and paint.

One of the things that hasn’t changed much since the home was built in 2008 is the theater room, which Hazera said is his favorite feature in the house. It includes milled eucalyptus wood features, dual Sub-Zero wine refrigerators, and a star-strewn ceiling.

“It’s very, very expensive, over half a million dollars in that movie theater alone, just on soundproofing, lighting, the screen, just everything in there. It’s very, very well done,” he said. “You never have a reason to go to the movie theater. Truly, it’s exceptional.”

An elevator and a staircase with clear railings go between the floors.

Similar clear barriers are part of the balcony.

“You can see panoramic views of the Wauseon Bay, and [the home] flows really, really nicely,” Hazera explained.

Smart home system controls everything from the window coverings to the lights and pool features.

“Everything can be controlled from either your phone or from different wall panels that look like mini iPads all throughout the house.”

Hazera said the home’s location is what first attracted the buyer.

“Being on the Wauseon Bay on 2nd Avenue is a huge draw for people that love the Butler Chain of Lakes lifestyle, but don’t want to be in a neighborhood with an HOA, so [this house] attracts a different type of clientele that appreciates that.”

Another plus was a brand new $85,000 dock the owner just put in.

“The seller never got a chance to use it or enjoy it, so it’s brand new and that was a big appeal.”

Watch Tyrese Haliburton’s High School Highlights and See Where It All Began

Before Tyrese Haliburton became the clutch-shooting NBA star leading the Indiana Pacers to the Finals, he was making waves at Oshkosh North High School in Wisconsin.

Known for his court vision and smooth shooting, Haliburton’s skills were evident even back then—but his rise to stardom was far from guaranteed.

As a 3-star recruit, Haliburton wasn’t the most sought-after player in his class.

He received just four Division 1 offers before committing to Iowa State, where he began to refine the skills that now make him one of the league’s most exciting players to watch.

Now, you can take a trip down memory lane and see young Tyrese in action for yourself.

GILLETTE, Wyo. — Nine local junior high rodeo athletes are preparing to compete for world titles at the National Junior High Finals Rodeo in Des Moines, Iowa, from June 22 to June 28.

1. Boys’ tennis semifinals

Fourteen of the 16 semifinalists have been determined, and all four No. 1 seeds are still dancing. The only seed lower than No. 7 is No. 13 Latin Academy, which took down No. 5 Medfield, 3-2, in the quarterfinals. The field:

Division 1

No. 5 Concord-Carlisle vs. No. 1 St. John’s Prep

No. 6 Lexington vs. No. 2 Acton-Boxborough

Division 2

No. 4 Duxbury vs. No. 1 Hopkinton

No. 7 Westborough vs. No. 3 Sharon

Division 3

No. 13 Latin Academy vs. No. 1 Bedford

No. 2 Martha’s Vineyard vs. No. 6 Weston/No. 3 Newburyport

Division 4

No. 5 Cohasset vs. No. 1 Manchester Essex

No. 7 Sturgis West vs. No. 7 Mystic Valley/No. 2 Lynnfield

2. Rugby finals set

With top-seeded Hanover’s 64-5 demolition of Algonquin in the Division 2 semifinals, all three rugby championship matchups are solidified: No. 2 Xaverian and No. 1 BC High will face off in Division 1, and No. 2 Brookline and No. 1 Hanover battle for the Division 2 crown, both on June 14 at Curry College. No. 2 Lincoln-Sudbury faces No. 1 Belmont in the girls’ rugby championship game, also June 14 at Curry College.

3. Upset city

With the two boys’ volleyball Cinderella’s, No. 26 Barnstable and No. 27 Taunton, both seeing their fairy-tale runs end in the Division 1 quarterfinals, there is now just one team seeded in the 20s remaining across all sports, and that’s No. 21 Bishop Fenwick girls’ tennis, which topped No. 13 Danvers, 3-2, Friday to advance to the Division 3 semifinals.

The first big upset of the girls’ tennis tournament saw No. 8 Winchester knock off No. 1 Boston Latin, so far the only No. 1 tennis seed to falter thus far.

And in softball, sixth-seeded Lincoln-Sudbury handed No. 3 King Philip a 4-1 loss in the quarterfinals, making the Warriors the highest-seeded team to be bounced from the softball brackets to date.

4. Three stars

Erin O’Day, Uxbridge — The junior, who is committed to UMass, was sensational, striking out 20 in a 1-0 one-hitter against Abington, and scoring the game’s only run. She now has 47 strikeouts in three playoff games.

Simon Vardeh, Newton North — The senior caught fire, slamming down a career-high 36 kills, including eight in a row during a stretch in the second set, to lead the Tigers to a 3-1 win over Lexington in the Division 1 quarterfinals. Teammate Paul Nelson dished 50 assists.

McCoy Walsh, King Philip — We don’t usually put athletes from eliminated teams here, but the junior did her best to keep the Warriors playing, striking out 14 and eclipsing 600 career strikeouts in a 4-1 Division 1 quarterfinal loss to Lincoln-Sudbury.

5. Going, going, gone

All four of the day’s home runs came from the same game, and represented four of the five runs scored in Lincoln-Sudbury’s win over King Philip. Nicole Lent launched a pair of shots for L-S, while her older sister, Ashleigh, hit one as well. Not to be left out, KP’s only run came on Liv Petrillo’s solo blast.

8. College corner

Texas Tech freshman Sam Lincoln, who pitched Taunton to its fourth-straight state championship just 12 months ago, made her College Word Series Finals debut, striking out four in three relief innings as Texas won, 10-4, to capture the national championship.

The Red Rangers trailed, 10-0, when Lincoln entered the game in the fourth inning. She didn’t allow a hit the rest of the way, walking two.

Lincoln a 6-foot lefthander, finished her freshman year with an 8-3 record and 3.65 ERA, striking out 52 in 69 innings.

Northeastern graduate student Will Jones, a Hamilton-Wenham graduate, was chosen as the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association District 1 Player of the Year.

A lefthanded pitcher, Jones went 11-1 with a 2.62 ERA, striking out 75 batters in 72 innings and tossing five shutouts. A first-team All-CAA selection, he was 11-0 with 1.82 ERA entering NCAA Regionals and set a Huskies single-season record for wins.

He is the second Northeastern player in a row to win the award, following Peabody native and St. John’s Prep graduate Tyler MacGregor.

Dedham has a new football coach.

The Marauders have hired Doug Carilli, most recently the defensive backs coach at Curry College. The Dedham resident, who played at Curry, has also worked at Rivers, Westwood, Weston, Framingham, and BC High, where he was defensive coordinator.

“Throughout the selection process, his commitment to the town, his vision for the future of our football program, and his focus on the growth and development of our student-athletes clearly distinguished him from a strong pool of candidates,” the school’s athletic department posted on X.

10. Star list

The Eastern Mass. Lacrosse Coaches Association All-Stars were announced Friday.
