SPORTS FEEVER by Chris Fee of KROX Radio – chrisjfee@yahoo.com
Believe it or not, the first Minnesota High School football games are this Friday, and KROX will have one of the games on the radio. Defending Section 8 9-Man champion Stephen-Argyle opens the season at defending Section 6 9-Man champion and defending State 9-Man Champion Fertile-Beltrami at 7:00 p.m. The game is a battle of two teams that should be in the top 10 rankings all year long. KROX will have the game with the RiverView Health pre-game show at 6:30 p.m. You can listen on the radio, on this website by clicking Listen Live, the KROX app, or on your smart speaker by saying listen to K-R-O-X in Crookston.
Stephen-Argyle won the Section 8 9-Man championship last year and lost to Mountain Iron-Buhl in the first round of state. The Storm lost only a few seniors from last year’s team, but one of them was the lone senior starter, Blaine Smith, the outstanding running back and defensive player who led the team and is now playing at Mayville State. They return a boatload of talent with outstanding athletes like Anders Thompson, Raydon Woinarowicz, Dylan Widner, Shay Setterholm, Caden Pagnac, and many more.
They return the following offensive starters (8 of 9 from their last game of the season last year) – Lineman/Tight ends – Jake Carlson, Dylan Widner, Owen Widner, Rylan Anderson, and Caden Pagnac. Quarterback Shay Setterholm Runningbacks – Raydon Woinarowicz, Darby Benitt, and top reserves Ryan Swanson, Kellen Johnson Wide Receiver – Anders Thompson
Defensive starters (8 of 9 return) Jake Carlson, Kobe Clauson, Keenan Srnsky, Rylan Anderson, Caden Pagnac, Dylan Widner, Anders Thompson, Raydon Woinarowicz, and Shay Setterholm
Fertile-Beltrami has made it to the State Championship twice in the last three years, winning the title last year and making it to the semi-finals two years ago. U.S. Bank Stadium has become their home away from home, and they are looking to get back again this year after suffering some big losses from last year’s team. On the defensive side of the ball, Fertile-Beltrami loses Jack Lieser, Keyton Wang, Caleb Stoltman, Jonah Harstad, and Isaiah Wright. On the offensive end, the Falcons lose starters – Caleb Stoltman, Micah Iverson, Jack Lieser, Easton Petry, Isaiah Wright, and Jonah Harstad.
Fertile-Beltrami has two big tight ends returning with Preston Hanson, Drew Gullickson. They also have an outstanding back in Bryer Strem, and quarterback Gavin Aakhus, and running back Creed Tollefson. Briley Raaen will also be one of many to see some time. You will also see Brady Bjerk, Steven Sather, Caleb Sather, Julian Ystenes, Teegyn Johnson, Gage Henrickson, Noah Swenby, Caden Stoltman and more. It should be a great game and I would say Stephen-Argyle has to be the favorite coming in pretty much their entire team coming back. Whoever wins the game, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the two playing each other in the state playoffs in October!

JOKES
A doctor at an insane asylum decided to take his patients to a baseball game.
For weeks in advance, he coached his patients to respond to his commands.
When the day of the game arrived, everything went quite well. As the national anthem started, the doctor yelled, “Up Nuts”, and the patients complied by standing up. After the anthem, he yelled, “Down Nuts”, and they all sat back down in their seats.
After a home run was hit, the doctor yelled, “Cheer Nuts” They all broke out into applause and cheered. When the umpire made a particularly bad call against the star of the home team, the Doctor yelled, “Booooo Nuts” and they all started booing and cat calling.Monthly joke subscriptions
Comfortable with their response, the doctor decided to go get a beer and a hot dog, leaving his assistant in charge. When he returned, there was a riot in progress.
Finding his missing assistant, the doctor asked:” What in the world happened?”
The assistant replied: “Well everything was going just fine until this guy walked by and yelled, “PEANUTS!”

Little Johnny was caught swearing by his teacher.
“Johnny,” she said, “you shouldn’t use that kind of language. Where did you hear such talk, anyway?”
“My daddy said it,” he responded.Monthly joke subscriptions
“Well, that doesn’t matter,” explained the teacher. “You don’t even know what it means.”
“I do, too!” Little Johnny retorted. “It means the car won’t start.”

A teacher told her young class to ask their parents for a family story with a moral at the end of it, and to return the next day to tell their stories. In the classroom the next day, Joe gave his example first, “My dad is a farmer and we have chickens. One day we were taking lots of eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the truck when we hit a big bump in the road; the basket fell off the seat and all the eggs broke. The moral of the story is not to put all your eggs in one basket..” “Very good,” said the teacher. Next, Mary said, “We are farmers too. We had twenty eggs waiting to hatch, but when they did we only got ten chicks. The moral of this story is not to count your chickens before they’re hatched..” “Very good,” said the teacher again, very pleased with the response so far. Next it was Barney’s turn to tell his story: “My dad told me this story about my Aunt Karen…. Aunt Karen was a flight engineer in the war and her plane got hit. She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had was a bottle of whisky, a machine gun and a machete.” “Go on,” said the teacher, intrigued. “Aunt Karen drank the whisky on the way down to prepare herself; then she landed right in the middle of a hundred enemy soldiers. She killed seventy of them with the machine gun until she ran out of bullets. Then she killed twenty more with the machete till the blade broke. And then she killed the last ten with her bare hands.” “Good heavens,” said the horrified teacher, “What did your father say was the moral of that frightening story?” “Stay away from Aunt Karen when she’s been drinking…”

The Sunday school teacher is a little concerned that his kids might be a little confused about Jesus, so he asks his class, “Where is Jesus today?” Suzy replies, “He’s in heaven.” Mary replies, “He’s in my heart.” Little Johnny says, “He’s in the bathroom!” The teacher says, “How do you know this?” Then Little Johnny says, “Well, every morning, my father gets up, bangs on the bathroom door, and yells, ‘Jesus Christ are you still in there!?’”

Apparently, this is becoming the standard at Hershey Bears games.
Published•Updated
We may have just seen the hockey fight of the year — and it didn’t even happen at an NHL game.
During an AHL match between the Hershey Bears and Cleveland Monsters on Saturday, youth players hit the ice at intermission for a quick mites game. But the crowd at the Giant Center got more than they bargained for.
At one point during the game, a fight broke out between two of the kiddos. The boys threw multiple haymakers as if they were auditioning for a role in a Slap Shot remake. After the player in blue wrestled the player in red to the ground, teammates got involved — attempting to push the blue player off their fallen comrade. That is until another blue player came in and body slammed the pile.
That’s when all hell broke loose. Suddenly, it was an all-out brawl of miniature hockey players punching and tackling each other onto the ice. At one point, a blue player got lost in the moment and started swinging on his own teammate.
Even a goalie got involved!
WATCH:
Not a referee in sight.
Here’s another angle, in case you can’t get enough:
I see promising hockey careers and a lot of missing teeth in their future.
Apparently, though, these sorts of brawls have become commonplace at Hershey Bears mites games. Check out this fight from Dec. 20.
In case you cared about the actual AHL game Saturday, the Bears got the win, 3-2, breaking a tie in the third period while short-handed.
But that’s not what any of the fans were buzzing about when they left the arena.
Youth artists who live in households or receive housing-related services managed by the Cullman Housing Authority are invited to take part in the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) “What Home Means to Me” poster contest. (Cullman Housing Authority)
CULLMAN, Ala. – Youth artists who live in households or receive housing-related services managed by the Cullman Housing Authority are invited to take part in the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) “What Home Means to Me” poster contest.
The contest is open to youth ages 5–18 and is part of a national program sponsored by NAHRO.
Since 2008, the competition has highlighted the artwork of children living in affordable housing, encouraging young artists to express what home means to them through original poster designs.
The contest is conducted in multiple rounds, beginning at the regional level. A total of 24 regional winners advance to the national competition, where 12 national winners are selected.
National winners have their artwork featured in NAHRO’s “What Home Means to Me” calendar the following year. Select winners also receive cash prizes and a trip to Washington, D.C.
Cullman Housing Authority officials encourage eligible youth and families interested in participating to visit the Cullman Housing Authority office at 408 Cleveland Ave. SW, Cullman, or call 256-734-6171 for complete contest guidelines and submission deadlines.
LEONARDTOWN, Md. — Student artists across Southern Maryland will soon have the chance to see their creativity displayed on gallery walls as the St. Mary’s County Arts Council prepares for Youth Art Month 2026, a celebration of young talent and arts education.
Youth Art Month, held each March, highlights the importance of visual arts in schools and gives children and teens an opportunity to showcase their work in a professional gallery setting. The annual exhibition is open to artists 18 and under who live in St. Mary’s, Calvert or Charles counties.
Organizers say Youth Art Month is designed to do more than display artwork; it aims to boost confidence, encourage self-expression and highlight the role of arts education in student development. The exhibit allows young artists to share their unique perspectives while engaging with the local arts community.
Submitted artwork must meet exhibition guidelines, including size limitations and family-friendly content. Students will be notified when artwork is ready for pickup following the close of the exhibition in early April.
The St. Mary’s County Arts Council, which hosts the event annually, works with educators, volunteers and community partners to support arts programming throughout the region and to ensure young artists have opportunities to learn, grow and be seen.
More information about submission requirements and scheduling appointments is available on the St. Mary’s County Arts Council Calls for Art website.

One of the wildest fights of the hockey season may have occurred during the intermission of an American Hockey League game between the Hershey Bears and the Cleveland Monsters.
The Bears’ “Mites on Ice” segment features youth hockey players competing against each other during intermission. However, competitive play turned into an all-out brawl involving players from the Central Penn Panthers Youth Ice Hockey Club.

The club said Sunday it was investigating the events that occurred leading up to the brawl.
“We have been made aware of an incident that occurred last night during the ‘Mites on Ice’ event between periods of the Hershey Bears game,” the organization said. “The safety, well-being, and positive experience of all participants—especially our young players—are of the utmost importance.

“We are currently conducting an internal review to fully understand the circumstances surrounding the incident. This review will include gathering information from all relevant parties and assessing the situation thoroughly and responsibly.”
The club said it didn’t want to draw conclusions until the investigation was complete.
“At this time, we believe it is important to allow this process to take place before drawing conclusions. We appreciate the patience and understanding of our families, partners, and community as we work through this matter.”
It’s not the first time this season the Bears have had a “Mites on Ice” fight.

Some of Chris Gorrell’s earliest memories are of snow, skiers and service.
Chris, the son of the late Paul Gorrell, accompanied his father decades ago when Paul helped grow Special Olympics Iowa’s annual Winter Games in Dubuque from a handful of participants to hundreds.
“When (the Dubuque-based games) first started, I was young — I was in grade school,” Chris said. “My earliest memories are of Mom and Dad taking me out of school so we would spend the day out at Sundown (Mountain Resort), just helping out with whatever they needed help with it.”
Special Olympics athletes, coaches and supporters return to Dubuque this week for the two-day Winter Games, held Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 12-13, at Sundown.
Special Olympics provides sports training and competition opportunities for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. This week, athletes will compete in alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and snowshoe racing. The annual gathering also includes ceremonies, a dance and parties.
“Our events provide a physical aspect (of development), and there also is a lot of socialization,” said Sydney Sloan, vice president of programs for Special Olympics Iowa.
After those initial years helping his father, Chris would grow up to join the Dubuque Police Department. He would help carry the torch that lights the flaming cauldron marking the start of the annual event.
“I always thought that I would have some involvement in (Special Olympics),” Chris said. “I knew I personally would probably never have the same level of involvement as my father.”
Paul Gorrell died in 2017 at age 64. He was posthumously inducted into the Special Olympics Iowa Hall of Fame a year ago, in recognition of his devotion to the Dubuque event.
Paul spent more than 25 years supporting the Dubuque-based winter games, helping the event grow from a few dozen participants the first year to more than 300 in the years before the COVID-19 pandemic.
“My dad would be the first to admit that, while he was framed as the face of the Winter Games, (each year’s event) was only (accomplished) with a great team around him,” Chris said.
Paul also served on the Special Olympics Iowa board of directors and was president of the board when the first Special Olympics USA National Games came to Iowa in 2006.
“When you get investment from people in the community like the Gorrell (family), it is very impactful,” Sloan said. “We’re largely a volunteer-based organization. We couldn’t hold our events without our volunteers.”
Chris said that during his early years of volunteering, he didn’t completely grasp Special Olympics’ role in expanding opportunities to people with disabilities.
“I was pretty young,” he said. “But as the years progressed, and you went out there (to Sundown to volunteer) you got to develop a connection with the athletes, the coaches and the other volunteers.”
Chris maintains Special Olympics connections built across decades.
“Lifelong bonds are formed with the athletes and the coaches,” he said. “Even now, I will be out shopping and I run into athletes that come up and give me a hug. They might share a story or two about Dad.”
Chris continues to advocate for supporting Special Olympics.
“The biggest thing I would tell people is if you if you want to do something that’s going to bring a smile to your face, helping with Special Olympics Iowa will do that,” he said.
