Last night my wife and I had dinner at the Hi-Lo Club in Lakefield (hometown of Voss). If you are ever headed West toward Sioux Falls on 90, I highly recommend. About one mile off the interstate. I’m not a world traveler by any means but it was quite possibly the best meal I’ve ever had in my...

I imagine Esch will be at Minnetonka for the rest of his coaching career. Not sure how long that will be. He was 29 when he took over at Mankato West, so must be 47 or 48 now. I don't think he will be one of those guys that coaches into his 60's.

Championship week! My champs in bold.
