CROOKSTON BOY'S TENNIS IN THE SECTION 8A TEAM TOURNAMENT FINALS
The Crookston Pirate Boys Tennis Team beat East Grand Forks three times during
the regular season and the fourth and final meeting of the year wasn’t any
different at the Pirates picked up a 4-3 victory in the Section 8A Boys Tennis
semi-finals in Perham. Crookston had two wins from Bobby Tiedemann and Andy
Gregg at third and fourth singles respectively and at first and second doubles
with Ethan Mercil and Cody Genreeux at first doubles and Matt Garmen and Kal
Salentiny at second doubles. “We kind of knew going into the match that we
should win at third and fourth singles and first and second doubles. In the
rest of the matches, East Grand Forks was pretty good, so we knew what we had to
do to pick up a win,” said Pirate Coach Mike Geffre. “Our third doubles was
pretty competitive going three sets and Travis and Sean played hard so that was
good. We got the wins we needed to win and move on, that is the important
thing. Everybody is getting after it and our kids are competing hard today. We
decided to pull Travis from his match because it could have been another half an
hour to 45 minutes so we wanted to get him off the court so he could go eat with
his teammates and get some rest before the championship match.”
Crookston plays Thief River Falls in the Section 8A Championship match at 1:00
p.m.
Also the Section 8A Individual Tournament will start after the Team
Championship, about 2:00 PM or so and have the first round and possibly the
quarterfinals in both singles and doubles and also at Perham. Crookston
has Sean Williams and Matt Garmen participating in singles while the two
doubles teams of Travis Vatthauer and Bobby Tiedemann and Ethan Mercil and
Cody Genereux are competing.

CROOKSTON SOFTBALL SEASON ENDS WITH 10-4 LOSS AT EAST GRAND FORKS
East Grand Forks pitcher Karly Nelson threw a one hit shutout 10 days ago in a
10-0 victory over Crookston and today the junior pitcher overcame control
problems in a game where she walked 11 and hit five batters, but East Grand Forks
overcame a 3-0 deficit with two-four run innings to defeat the Crookston Pirates
10-4 in a first round Section 8AA Tournament softball game at East Grand Forks.
Crookston scored two runs in the first inning without the aid of a hit when
Nelson hit three batters and walked two each with bases loaded to give Crookston
a 2-0 lead to start the game. In a sign of things to come, Crookston
stranded three runners on base. Crookston scored again in the second when
Taylor Demarais led off getting hit by a pitch and then scored on a McKaela Larson
single to make it 3-0. East Grand Forks answered in their second inning with
two hits and a walk and then two eighth graders, Megan Boman had an rbi single
and Kayla Nelson knocked in two more with a single and East Grand Forks took
their first lead, 4-3 after two innings.
Crookston left bases loaded again in the third inning, but tied the game in
the fourth when Larson singled and scored on a wild pitch. Again,
Crookston left the bases loaded in the fourth and had stranded 11 runners
through four innings. “It was good to get the lead, but we needed to take
advantage of their pitchers wildness and we were not being aggressive at the
plate in those situations,” said Crookston co-head coach Chad Hitchen.
East Grand Forks regained the lead with another four run inning as they had
three hits including a key two out single with bases loaded by Jayden Boushey to
give the Green Wave a 8-4 lead. “We had a few too many errors and also some
mental mistakes like not covering first base on a bunt and probably could have
been a little more aggressive on some short fly balls that dropped in front of
us,” said Coach Hitchen.
Although Nelson walked three batters in the last two innings, she also
registered all four of her strikeouts in the last three innings including two
with bases loaded and again the Pirates stranded two runners in the sixth and
seven innings. East Grand Forks added single runs in the fifth and sixth
to win the first round playoff game 10-4 and advance. “We really had some early
chances to increase our lead and we let their pitcher off the hook and you can’t
have six errors in a playoff game because they will always come back to haunt
you and they did,” said Coach Hitchen. “Caitlyn gave us three pretty good innings and
deserved a better fate than picking up a loss. We had a pretty good season and
lose five very good seniors, but the underclassmen have to get better so we can
take the next step, which is winning a first round playoff game.”
Crookston season ends at 6-11 and they lose five seniors, Catilyn Cournia,
Taylor Demarais, Kaylee Desrosier, McKaela Larson and Sydney Luckow.
East Grand Forks improves to 7-9 on the year and advance to the second and third rounds of the Section 8AA Tournament at Thief River Falls on
Thursday and will play Thief River Falls at 4:00 PM.

CROOKSTON BASEBALL LOSES A HEARTBREAKER IN EAST GRAND FORKS
The Crookston Pirate Baseball team led for most of the game except the last
inning as the East Grand Forks Green Wave came from behind for a 4-3 victory in
a game played at Stauss Park in East Grand Forks.
Crookston started the scoring in the second inning when Dylan Klatt reached on
an error, Kyle Proulx walked and Mikey Hajostek singled in a run for a Pirate
1-0 lead. Cody Magsam followed with a sacrifice fly to left field to score
Proulx and Crookston led 2-0.
In the third inning Crookston had another threat with bases loaded and only one
out, but the next two Pirates struck out. “We didn’t get a big hit when we
needed it today,” said Pirate Coach Ted Hasz. “We could have made it easier on
us and help Aaron (Hollcraft) out if we could have scored a couple more runs.”
In the bottom of the third inning East Grand Forks had back to back singles and
a run scored on a Pirate error to cut Crookston’s lead to 2-1.
In the fifth inning, Crookston’s Aaron Hollcraft and Josh Edlund reached after
the Green Wave outfielders misjudged fly balls. With base runners on second and
third Brandon Kresl hit a line drive to left field to score Hollcraft to give
Crookston a 3-1 lead. EGF got out of the jam by “picking” off a Pirate and then
getting a strike out.
In the bottom of the fifth inning EGF scored a run with two outs and had bases
loaded, threatening to score again when Hollcraft struck out the Green Wave
batter for the third out, but EGF trailed 3-2.
EGF got on the board again in the sixth inning when they started with back to
back singles and then attempted a double steal. The Pirates elected to try to
get the out at second base and throw went into the outfield when nobody was
covering and a run scored to tie the game 3-3. The next pitch was a wild pitch
to allow EGF to score another run to take a 4-3 lead. Crookston couldn’t score
in the seventh and the Green Wave held on for the 4-3 come from behind victory.
“It was a frustrating game when we led all the way until the end. Maybe today
will light a fire under the guys and get them fired up for the rest of the
season,” said Coach Hasz. “We had a couple crucial mental errors that led to a
couple of runs.”
Crookston drops to 7-7 on the year and will host East Grand Forks Sacred Heart
in a double header on Thursday. East Grand Forks improves to 6-6 on the year.

CROOKSTON PIRATE GIRLS GOLF PARTICIPATE IN THE DETROIT LAKES INVITATIONAL
The Crookston Pirate Girls golf team traveled to Detroit Lakes for an
Invitational at the Lakeview Golf Course. The Pirates played 18 holes in a cool,
windy day at Detroit Lakes and finished 9th of 9 teams with a 381 with the host
team Lakers, the defending State Class AA champions winning by 19 strokes over
Pequot Lakes. Pequot Lakes' Savannah Stone was the medalist with a 70 and the
Pirates had three golfers under 100 for the day and were led by Kelly Reitmeier, who had a 91.
Today we only took four girls as the rest of the team was finishing up some
tests and science labs at school so we brought our two seniors and a 7th and 8th
grader. This morning we found out we
were not playing at the Detroit Lakes Country Club due to the course conditions
from the rain. We played at Lakeview Golf Course which was right across the
road," said Crookston Coach Kristi Griffin. "The rain stopped long enough for us
to get 18 holes in, but the weather was cool and windy. The Lakeview course was
a short course with several par 3s and 4s and only one par 5. All the girls came
in with great rounds. We were happy to see 3 girls shoot a solid round in the
90s and Erica wasnt to far away. Erica had a great front nine and was very happy
with her drives, but found the sand on the back which was her biggest struggle.
Kelly, Maddy and Ally really played well on and around the green and Kelly ended
her round with a 20 foot putt which will really help her confidence going into
sub sections."
The Pirates were slated to be at the East Grand Forks Invitational on Wednesday,
but it has been postponed because the course is closed because of wet
conditions. Crookston will either be at East Grand Forks on Thursday if the
course is a go OR they would go to the Thief River Falls Tri-Angular.

THROUGH THE RAIN THE PIRATE GIRL'S GOLF TEAM'S FINISH 3RD AND 5TH IN THE
PIRATE INVITATIONAL
The Crookston Pirate Girls Golf team had a tough time getting their Crookston
Pirate Invitational Girl's Golf meet in this spring and although they cut the tournament down to nine holes because of the rain, wind and
soggy conditions at Minakwa Golf Course in Crookston, they got the event in and
Thief River Falls finished first with a 205, 10 strokes ahead of Roseau.
Crookston had two teams compete and they finished third and fifth out of six
teams. The individual medalist was Bailee Kolden of Thief River Falls with
a 48, she beat Crookston's Maddie Nicholls, who also had a 48 after tie breaker
criteria. "It was a miserable day to be honest. We decided to just go nine
holes after we saw the girls not golfing like they cold. With the rain and
wind it was getting to be to much and there was some standing water on a couple
of the holes. " said Pirate Coach Jeff Perreualt. "We did have Maddie
Nicholls turn in a sub 50 round with a 48 and she has been doing some nice
things for us lately and that is a great score considering the conditions.
It was a good lesson for the girls to be dressed and prepared for the weather.
We don't know what the weather will be like at sub-sections in East Grand Forks
next week so this was good to teach the girls they have to be ready for the
conditions."
Crookston will be Detroit Lakes meet on Tuesday.

CROOKSTON BOY'S TRACK TEAM FINISHES NINTH IN THE STATE TRUE TEAM MEET
The Crookston Pirate Boys Track team after the State True Team Track
meet (Picture by Janelle Anderson)
The Crookston Boy's Track team ran into some tough competition in the Minnesota Track Coaches State True Team Track meet in
Stillwater, where they finished ninth out of nine teams. The day started
with a downpour for the first hour, and the second hour had some rain and then
around noon it cleared up and the sun came out and it was a beautiful afternoon.
The Pirate Boys top performance of the day was Brandt Delage in the 400 meter
dash when he finished second place with an impressive personal best time of
51.99, a little more than one second off of the school record. Delage was
also on the fourth place 4x200 relay team with teammates Jacob Egeland, Patrick
Deng, and Blake Brekken. The 4x100 relay team of Jacob Egeland, Blake
Bergeron, Ryan Bittner and Blake Brekken finished sixth for the Pirates.
"We ran into some very good competition from top to bottom and it was fun to
watch the kids compete at a top level," said Pirate Boys Track Coach Wayne
Folkers. "Even though our places weren't where they normally are, we had a
lot of personal records (PR's) today! Brandt Delage had an impressive time
in the 400 and really ran well today and has been running well lately and he had
a heckuva meet today. Michael Hefta PR'd in both the discus and shot put
today improving his throws by two to four feet today so that was great.
Overall it was a good all around team effort with everybody turning in either
close to their best or their best times today and that is all we can ask for
from them against some very good competition."
The Pirate Boys and Girls track teams will have their biggest meet of the year
coming up on Thursday when they run in the Sub-Section Track meet in East Grand
Forks on their new beautiful track.

CROOKSTON BOY'S GOLF HAS BEST ROUND OF THE SEASON IN A SECOND PLACE FINISH AT
ROSEAU
The Crookston Pirates had four golfers shoot under 80 for the first time
this season and their best team score of the year finishing second to the Roseau
Rams by six strokes at the Oak Crest Golf Course in the Roseau Invitational.
Crookston’s top golfer all spring has been Wyatt Hanson and the senior continued
that play with a 74 which was good for fourth place, six strokes behind Brady
Loudon of Bagley. Roseau used the familiarity of their home course to shoot
under 300 with a 298 while Crookston had a 304. “We’ve played well at the Roseau
course the last couple years and it was good to see us continue that today with
a good round,” said Crookston head coach Steve Kofoed. “Our top four guys had a
total of seven-three putts and you lose by six strokes. Wyatt and Brady both
three putted on the first green. We have been spending a lot of time on the
driving range and maybe not as much as we should have on putting. We also had a
few double chips over the green, but we are getting much better with course
management and hopefully we can continue to improve in the last week of the
regular season coming up before the Sub-Section."
Crookston has one meet left of the regular season, on Thursday, when they travel
to the Detroit Lakes Country Club for an afternoon meet.

CROOKSTON BASEBALL SHUTOUT BY DILWORTH-GLYNDON-FELTON 7-0
Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton took advantage of seven walks, two hit batters and
some timely base hits to defeat the Crookston Pirates 7-0 in a baseball game at
the Jim Karn Field in Crookston.
Crookston threatened a number of times stranding nine runners on base during the
game including runners on second and third with one out in the first, but were
unable to cash in on a couple walks. They had a leadoff off double in the
second by Dylan Klatt and couldn’t score. “We just didn’t get the big hit today
as we have in the past few games,” said Crookston head coach Ted Hasz. “I think
if we could have scored a couple runs early it would have been a little
different game.” Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton scored twice in the fourth inning when
Tyler Oberg led off with a double and then there was a hit batter, a Crookston
error to load the bases. The Rebels received a bases load walk to score one and
a Tanner McManus single to score the other and a 2-0 lead which went through
five innings of play. In the Rebels sixth, Crookston starting pitcher Josh Edlund ran into some control problems issuing two walks on eight pitches and the
Pirates went to the bullpen with Parker Epema. “Josh was running out of gas at
this point and when I went out there after the two walks he said he was ready to
be done, but again I thought he pitched a gutty game and if we could have gotten
him some early runs it might have been different,” said Hasz. After a single,
Isaiah Greene walked again with bases loaded to bring in another run and a
sacrifice fly made it a 5-0 game for D-G-F. They added a couple more in the
seventh to put it away on four base hits including rbi singles from Greene and
Oberg. Oberg pitched the first four innings and gave up two hits while Greene
pitched the last three inning and although he did give up four hits, he struck
out seven Crookston batters and D-G-F had a total of 10 strikeouts in the game.
“They have a nice team and are not 9-1 for nothing,” said Hasz about
Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton. “Both their pitchers were good and the second one
(Greene) was very good and some of our players say he might be the best pitcher
we’ve faced so far. But, we’ve seen them now and there are a few things we
noticed if we meet them again at tournament time.” Crookston is 7-6 on the
season and will be at Grand Forks Red River on Monday. “Red River has a nice
team this year and then we have two very important games at East Grand Forks on
Tuesday,” said Hasz. “We play Sacred Heart on home on Thursday and we are
looking to either play Sacred Heart a doubleheader that day or bring in another
team to get another game in and some at bats for us before the Section playoffs.
So either four or five games left to get ready.”

DILWORTH-GLYNDON-FELTON SCORES EARLY AND OFTEN IN 16-0 WIN OVER CROOKSTON
SOFTBALL
The Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Rebels showed the Crookston Pirate Softball team why
they are the ranked in the top 10 in the state and the number one seed in the
Section 8AA South Subsection in a 16-0 win in a game played in Glyndon.
DGF scored five runs on four hits and took advantage of two walks in the first
inning to take a quick 5-0 lead. In the second inning, Crookston’s Kaylee
Desrosier and Danelle Trandem had singles and Taylor Demarais walked and the
bases were loaded with two outs. The Pirates weren’t able to get a hit and were
retired without scoring a run. DGF answered as they added five more runs on
three hits and two walks to take a 10-0 lead after two innings of play. The
Rebels added another run in the third inning and then solidified their victory
by adding five more runs in the fourth inning on two hits while taking advantage
of five walks and a couple wild pitches and held on for the 16-0 victory. “They
have some great pitching and offensively they hit the ball well and were
aggressive on the base paths,” said Pirate Co-Head Coach Katie Welter. “We had
a threat in the second inning, but couldn’t get a big hit.”
Crookston ends the regular season with a 6-10 record and will play at East Grand
Forks on Tuesday in the first round of the Section 8AA Softball playoffs. DGF
improves to 15-1 on the year.

CROOKSTON GIRL'S GOLF FINISH 8TH AT THE BEMIDJI INVITATIONAL
The Crookston Girl’s Golfers had one golfer shoot under one hundred and finished
8th of 10 teams today in the Bemidji High School Invitational at the
Town and Country Golf Course outside of Bemidji.
The meet was won by Pequot Lakes who were 25 strokes better than Bemidji.
Maggie Haggerston of Pequot Lakes shot a 77 for medalist honors, two strokes
ahead of Emily Israelson of Staples-Motley and they were the only two that shot
under 80 for the day. Crookston freshman Leah Trostad had a 98 to lead the
Pirates. “The weather was a bit of a concern going into this meet with the
forecast calling for rain and wind, but it turned out to be a very nice day to
golf,” said Crookston head coach Jeff Perreault. “ The sand and the greens
proved to be the biggest problem for the girls with several three and four putts
and
failed attempts out of the bunkers. We left two seniors back for senior skip day
and gave a couple of youngsters the opportunity to play a great course with some
of the best competition in our area.”
Crookston has a busy week coming up as they rescheduled the Crookston Pirate
Invitational to Monday at Minakwa Golf Course in Crookston, at Detroit Lakes on
Tuesday, at the East Grand Forks Invitational on Wednesday, the Thief River
Falls Tri-Angular on Thursday and then all the Pirate teams will have a fun
scramble on Friday at Minakwa as they prepare for the sub-section meet the
following week at East Grand Forks.

CROOKSTON BOY'S GOLF HAS TWO TEAMS IN THE THIEF RIVER FALLS INVITATIONAL AND
FINISH 4TH AND 8TH
With the Crookston seniors out because of senior skip day, the Pirate
underclassmen golfers had two teams which finished fourth and eighth in the 10
school Thief River Falls Invitational at the Thief River Falls Golf Club. Roseau
won the invitational easily by 10 strokes over runner up Warroad.
The Crookston Blue team had the top four scores of the 12 Pirate golfers who
played and were led by Isaac Westlake with an 80, one stroke ahead of Brady
Heppner. Joe Vatnsdal of Roseau was the medalist with a 74. "We
were able to bring two teams to TRF today, which was great. I thought the guys
really battled today and for the most part, had fun," said Pirate Assistant Coach Jake
Sanders, who was filling in for Head Coach Steve Kofoed, who was on a 7th grade
field trip. "The wind was strong,
which made the tree infested back 9 extremely difficult. Isaac Westlake led the
Pirates today with an 80, and did a very good job at making the most of his
opportunities. I think we all learned a little bit about rolling with the
punches and course management today."
Crookston will be
at the Roseau Invitational on Saturday.
