Minnetonka scored four unanswered goals, defeating Lakeville South 5-1 Dec. 21 at Hasse Arena. The Skippers outshot the host Cougars 36-17 for the game.

An eight-point deficit at halftime, Chanhassen, playing in its season opener, outscored Waconia 47-33 in the second half, a 77-71 win Dec. 1.

Chanhassen put up a five-spot in the first period for the second time in three games, an 8-0 home shutout over Hibbing/Chisholm Dec. 1.

Chanhassen won eight of 11 races in the pool, securing its fifth consecutive Metro West Conference championship in a 90-85 win Oct. 23 at Pioneer Ridge Middle School.

Overtime victories are the common denominator between the Minnetonka and Maple Grove girls soccer teams.

Eight weeks into the regular season, sometimes it’s not about who the better team is, but rather who the most healthy team is.

Win and Minnetonka clinches the No. 3 seed in Section 6 in Class 6A. A 28-26 loss to Burnsville on Oct. 17 and now there’s debate.

Walk through the halls of Chanhassen High School and you’re likely to hear senior Cade Plath reading morning announcements. You’re likely to see him leading a geocaching club before a late start.
