CROOKSTON BOY'S GOLF TIE FOR FOURTH AT MOORHEAD

The Moorhead Spuds top team, shooting five under par as a team, and the Spuds won their own Invitational boy's golf meet handily at the Meadows Golf Course in Moorhead.  Moorhead was 22 strokes ahead of the field.  Crookston ended up with a tie for fourth place with the second Moorhead team, and nine strokes behind runner up Bemidji.  "Moorhead shot unbelievable today, with the five under par as a team," said Crookston head coach Steve Kofoed, "as a 283 score is a little better then we are going to see anywhere."  Aaron Wheeler of Moorhead led the charge with a 69, while two of his teammates were right behind with a 70 and 71.  Crookston's Jake Sanders continued his excellent play with a 72, which was good for fourth place. "Jake was real streaky today," said Kofoed, "he had five bogey's today. He started out with a chip for eagle on number one, and was bouncing back and forth. In fact he had two eagle's on the day."
Crookston has been playing in the big meets, like last weekend's Fargo Invitational and then back to Moorhead today, and the coach likes the competition, "You only get better playing with good players in your group, and we were paired with Moorhead, Bemidji and Detroit Lakes today, which all finished ahead of us."
Crookston will continue a busy and last week of the regular season, as they are gearing up for the Sub-Section meet at Thief River Falls on Monday. "We will take another squad to the Red Lake Falls/Fertile meet tomorrow," said Kofoed, "we have players that are competing for that fifth and sixth spots for our tournament roster.  Then we play on Friday at Thief River Falls, which will get the players acclimated to the course where the Sub is going to be, and then Saturday we go up to Roseau and see if we can make a statement if we play well, that we are going to be the favorites if we make it to Bemidji and the Section."

BEMIDJI  BASEBALL JUMP ON PIRATES EARLY IN A 13-2 WIN

The Bemidji Lumberjacks scored six runs in the first inning. banging out four hits, and taking advantage of a couple Crookston Pirate errors, and the Jacks would score every inning the final one, as they beat the home standing Pirates 13-2 in a game called after five innings because of the 10 run rule. "We wanted to get off to a good start against them," said Crookston head coach Brian Follette, "but we had some trouble in the field and Bemidji is a real good hitting team, and we couldn't stop them."  The Pirates found themselves trailing 6-0 after a half inning, but they did come back in the bottom of the first inning with their only two runs, as Brent Reierson, who was on base all three times in the game, led off with a walk, Ethan Hulst had an opposite field single, and then Chris Follette laid down a nice sacrifice bunt that was thrown away by the Bemidji pitcher, Joe Anderson, and one run scored.  Elliott Hulst then sent a long fly to left that scored his brother Ethan on a sacrifice fly.  Bemidji would keep the bats going, as they put together eight hits in the next three innings, along with five walks and a hit batter and opened up the 13-2 lead. Matt Grove, the Pirate sophomore would pitch the fifth inning and retire Bemidji without a hit or run. "We had a kind of tough luck day too," said coach Follette, "we had some base running mistakes, plus we made some nice plays, particularly Elliott (Hulst) at third base, as he got a line drive and then made a great stop at third, but couldn't get anybody out, and they score three more runs, but again, Bemidji is a very good hitting team and it was their day today."  Bemidji has won four in a row, after winning three games in a Fargo Tournament over the weekend and are 9-7 on the season. "We are starting to put some things together now," said Bemidji head coach Mike Fogelson. "We have been hitting the ball all season long and that continued here today, and if we continue to get our young and inexperienced pitchers to come through we will be all right."
Crookston falls to 5-10 and will have three more games this week, hosting Badger-Greenbush-Middle River in a doubleheader on Thursday starting at 4:30 PM, and then host Warroad on Friday at 5:00 PM.  "All three games are conference games," said coach Follette, "but the Warroad game is the big one, because we are both in the same sub-section and since we lost to them earlier, it would help us a lot to win the one on Friday."

PIRATE SOFTBALL SHUTOUT AT  BEMIDJI 7-0

Bemidji scored two runs in the first inning, and that would be all that Lumberjack pitcher, Elissa Port would need as she scattered four hits and shutout the visiting Crookston Pirates 7-0. "She was a good pitcher, and was different as night and day from what we had seen on Friday against Ada," said Crookston head coach Jana Epema.  "Port threw pretty hard, and even though we didn't strike out much, three times, we had trouble adjusting and hit balls right at their defense, and didn't get out four hits until late in the game."  Crookston had four different players get singles in the game, and only had two base runners reach third base, Brittany Morris in the fourth and Marlee Wheelhouse in the fifth, but were unable to get them home.  "We really played a pretty good game," said Epema, "we got bat on ball, but couldn't find the holes, while Bemidji hit the ball hard and found the holes.  We played pretty well defensively, and Ashley (Jahn) only walked two."
Crookston is now 7-9 on the year and will host Bagley on Thursday at 4:30 PM at the Donnie Lauf/American Legion softball field.  It will be senior day.  Bemidji is now 16-3 on the season.

CHS ANNOUNCES WINTER SPOTLIGHT ON SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS

The Minnesota State High School League recently awarded Spotlight on Scholarship certificates to Crookston students for their achievements in the classroom. Sponsored by the League and Jostens, the Spotlight on Scholarship Program began in 1995 to recognize athletes and fine arts participants who have a “B” or better grade average. Last year, more than 250,000 certificates were awarded to students throughout the state. The Spotlight on Scholarship Program is considered the fastest-growing recognition program the League sponsors. “The Spotlight on Scholarship Program is an opportunity for students who have excelled to step into the well-deserved spotlight,” said Tom Speltz, assistant principal/activities director. “These students have proven that that can be successful both in and out of the classroom.” Students receiving the Spotlight on Scholarship certificates for the winter season are enclosed in the attachment. In addition to honoring students for their individual efforts, the Spotlight on Scholarship Program provides banners to League member schools whose varsity fine arts and athletic teams collectively achieve a 3.0 or better grade-point average.

FARGO SOUTH WINS FARGO TOURNAMENT EASILY, PIRATES FOURTH

The Crookston Pirates boy's golf team, who had four golfers shoot in the 70's yesterday, only had two in the 70's today, and the Pirates slid from second to fourth in the Fargo North 36 hole Invitational at the Edgewood Golf Club in Fargo.  The Bruins, who led by eight strokes after the first day, shot lights out on Saturday, as they had two golfers in the 60's and two more in the low 70's to win the title by 23 strokes over the Moorhead Spuds, while Detroit Lakes finished one stroke back, but nine strokes ahead of the Pirates.  Pirate senior Jake Sanders, continued his outstanding play, as he followed up his first day 69, with a 71 and the even par 140 was good for third place and three strokes behind the medalist Tom Hoge of Fargo South. "We played well overall," said Crookston head coach Steve Kofoed, "we are definitely happy with fourth place, and being in the low 600's in a great score."
Fargo South is the defending North Dakota State Champions and are favorites to do it again, while Moorhead and Detroit Lakes are the top contenders in Section 8AA in Minnesota. "It was a big tournament atmosphere," said Kofoed, "and we were a little nervous at the tee-boxes, but we settled in and had a great meet."  The Pirates will be back in the Fargo-Moorhead area again on Tuesday, participating in the Moorhead Invitational at the Meadows Golf Club.

CROOKSTON BASEBALL SNAPS LOSING STREAK AT BAGLEY
 

The Crookston Pirates scored two runs in the first, second and fourth inning, and used the pitching of Cole Johnston to defeat the Bagley Flyers 8-4, as Crookston stopped a four game losing streak with the win in Bagley. 
Crookston started the game with three straight walks drawn by Brent Reierson, Ethan Hulst and Chris Follette, followed by a two rbi single by Elliott Hulst.  The second inning, the Pirates Nic Follette started it with a single, Reierson got on by an error, and the Hulst brothers, Ethan and then Elliott had rbi's, Ethan on a single and Elliott on a sacrifice fly.  Crookston would add another in the third as Cole Johnston singled, and Chris Dufault, running for Johnston, stole second and scored on a wild pitch.  Crookston's Chris Follette and Elliott Hulst both scored in the fourth inning, Follette on an error and Hulst on a Zack Bruer sac fly.  Nic Follette singled to start the seventh inning and scored his brother Chris' single.  The Pirate senior pitcher, Johnston scattered nine hits, walked only two, but struck out 10, for a career high in the game to pick up second win of the season.  The Pirates are now 5-9 on the season and will have four games in five days next week, starting with Bemidji at the Jim Karn Field in Crookston on Monday at 4:00 PM.

SACRED HEART DOWNS THE CROOKSTON PIRATES 14-10

The Crookston Pirates score four runs in the third inning, added five more in the fourth inning to take a 9-4 lead at Sacred Heart, but the Eagles came back with 10 runs in the last three innings to beat the Pirates 14-10 in a non-conference game in East Grand Forks.  "After we built up the lead, we didn't take care of the ball very well," said Crookston head coach Brian Follette. "We had a chance to get out of some of the late innings without too much damage, but we couldn't get the final out, and a misplay here and there would cost us, as instead of maybe giving up one run, we give up three.  We can't be giving up crooked numbers and expect to win."
The Pirates struck for a four run third inning, as Nic Follette singles with one out, and Brent Reierson triple him in, while Ethan Hulst had a sacrifice fly.  Chris Follette would start it again with a single, and was tripled in by Elliott Hulst, who scored on Matt Yeager's single.
The Pirates added five more in the fourth, as Matt LeBlanc started it off with a double, then a single by Zack Bruer, along with a walk to Nic Follette, Ethan Hulst doubled in two runs, and scored on Chris Follette's single, and Yeager would bring in another run on a single.
Ethan Hulst would hit his second home run of the season, on a screamer over the fence in the sixth inning to pull the Pirates within 11-10, but Sacred Heart would put it away with three runs in the bottom of the sixth. "We have to eliminate the miscues and quit giving up the big innings," said Coach Follette, "we have a very busy time coming up right now with five games in seven days, so no real time to practice anything specifically, so we have to do it on the run, sort of speak."
Crookston is now 4-9 on the season and the Pirates will try to break a four game losing streak on Saturday afternoon when they have a makeup contest at Bagley.  Sacred Heart is 5-6 on the season.

CROOKSTON SOFTBALL LOSES IN 10 INNINGS AT ADA-BORUP

Ada-Borup's Whitney Boe one out home run in the bottom of the 10th inning game the home standing Cougars a 6-5 win over the Crookston Pirates. "She hit the ball well, " said Crookston head coach Jana Epema, but the fences in Ada are around 300 feet and once it gets over your outfielders head, it's pretty much a home run.  It was a tough loss for us."
Ada-Borup started quick, scoring at least one run in the first four innings and building up a 5-3 lead.  The Pirates would start solving the pitching for Ada-Borup and scored a run in the sixth and trailing by a run going into the seventh, the Pirates started the inning with a walk to Brittney Morris, Rachel Proulx and Erika Wheelhouse singles to load the bases, and Bethany Donarski came up with her second rbi of the game on a single to tie it.  Then it turned into a great pitching effort by both teams, including Sydney Epema, who in relief pitched the last five innings, striking out six, and the only hit and only run she would give up, would be to Boe and the home run. "Sydney pitched well," said her mother and coach, "Overall, I thought it was one of of better games of the year too.  We had some trouble with the slower pitching to start the game, and did a lot of bunting, but then we figured it out, and did manage a lot of hits in the game, which is encouraging.  We did have some trouble executing offensive, but it was a good game, and a tough loss."
Crookston is now 7-8 on the year and their game with Sacred Heart for Saturday has been canceled and won't be made up.  The Pirates will travel to Bemidji for a 3:30 PM game on Monday afternoon.

CROOKSTON GIRL'S TRACK FINISH FIRST BOYS NINTH AT MEET IN WARREN

The Crookston Pirate girl's track team fresh off a Section 8A True Team Championship on Tuesday, finished first again this time at the Warren-Alvarado-Oslo meet in Warren.  The Pirate Boys didn't go as a team but Adam Hoff did go up to the meet and scored 18 points himself to put the Pirates boys in 9th place out of 10 teams.  The Pirate Girls edged their rival East Grand Forks by six points.  East Grand Forks won the Section 8AA True Team Meet in Park Rapids on Tuesday.  The Pirates had two first place finishes, Emily Kanten in the 3200 and Jessica Broekemeier in the 100 meters.  "Jessica is really been impressive this past week," said Crookston head girl's track coach Dave Barnum, "she was under the 13 second mark in the True Team meet this week, which is sort of a mark for the one hundred, and being young, she keeps getting better.  Also Emily (Kanten) has taken so much time off her two miles it's been incredible. She is not taking seconds, but minutes off the run and as a senior is been a real leader for our squad."
Both the Crookston Pirate girl's and East Grand Forks girl's track teams won their respective Section 8 True Teams meets this past week and it was a little different lineup for both in the Warren meet, "We both had girl's in some different events today," said Barnum, "and I think we and the Green Wave are trying to figure out who will be doing what next weekend in the Minnesota State True Team track meet, so I don't the scores today were probably a true indication of us beating East Grand Forks, and they also had a couple people missing."
Adam Hoff, was the lone Pirate boys representative, traveled up to Warren and he did very well placing first in the 400, third in the 200 and sixth in the 100 to score all 18 points for the Pirates.

CROOKSTON BOY'S GOLF 2ND AFTER DAY ONE OF TWO DAY MEET AT FARGO NORTH

The Crookston Pirate boy's golf team finished the first day of a two day meet in second place at the Fargo North (N.D.) two day tournament.  They played 18 holes today and then Saturday morning they will play 18 more.  The meet is held at the Edgewood Course in Fargo.  The Pirates trail Fargo South by six strokes for the lead.  Crookston had four golfers shoot sub-80 rounds, the first time they have had four golfers under that mark.  Coach Steve Kofoed said, "It was the first time we had four break 80 so that was huge for us.  I think it was good that these guys came out and we had a pretty decent scout report of what was going on with the golf course and a lot of them came in and played relatively controlled and didn't make any real big numbers.  And if they did (shoot a big number) they would make a birdie to counter act a double (bogie)."  Coach Kofoed said the team had a good focus coming into the day adding, "Just driving into the course you could feel the atmosphere, (we knew) this one tournament was pretty big."  Jake Sanders was the leader after the first day shooting a one under par 69.  Seth Heppner was tied for fifth place shooting a one over par - 71.  Round two will be Saturday morning.

CROOKSTON GIRL'S JV GOLF WINS THIEF RIVER FALLS TOURNAMENT

Laura Morgan had her career best round of golf, shooting a 97, which was good for medalist and led the Crookston Pirate girl's golf team to a win in the  six team Thief River Falls JV Invitational.  Senior Jackie Reitmeier was third overall with a 99, as some of the girl's, who could be on the Pirate tournament roster, had a round at the Thief River Falls golf course, that is the site of the Sub-Section Tournament in a couple weeks. Coaches also say that the 101 shot by Megan Wagner was also a career best score.

CROOKSTON BOY'S TENNIS DROP TWO 4-3 MATCHES AT TRF

The Crookston Pirates finished fourth in the Thief River Falls Dual Tournament, losing twice by identical 4-3 scores. In the opening match, the Pirates switched their lineup around a bit from the last time they played East Grand Forks, and the Green Wave won three of the four singles matches, and won the match on a win at three doubles.

In the second match, the Pirates after getting manhandled by Moorhead on Tuesday in a dual, the Pirates played much better, winning three of the four singles, but the Spuds won all the doubles matches, and Moorhead claimed the third place trophy.  Thief River Falls won the championship, after beating Moorhead in their first match, the Prowlers then took care of East Grand Forks for the championship.  Crookston's Jake Thompson, was the only double winner on the day for the Pirates.  Crookston head coach, Mike Geffre, didn't attend the meet, as he was out of town, but he did call and said the reports he had were, "We didn't play very well at all against East Grand Forks, but then played real well against Moorhead.  We just played the Spuds and didn't do much against them, but we won three spots today, and also lost in a three setter, so we like that."  It was a comfortable day in Thief River Falls and assistant coach for the Pirates Lee Meier said, "the wind was no factor at all.  We played at the College and maybe 5-10 mile an hour winds."  Crookston is now 5-6 in duals and will be at Bemidji tomorrow for a dual.  The Pirates lost a 5-2 match to the Lumberjacks earlier this year.  The coaches didn't have the individual scores and opponents of today's matches, but we should have them tomorrow morning some time.

PERREAULT RESIGNS AS BOY'S HEAD HOCKEY COACH AT CROOKSTON

Jeff Perreault resigned as the Crookston Pirate boy's hockey coach on Monday.  The former Pirate, was the head coach for the past eight seasons, and the Pirates were 9-14-3 this past season, losing in the first round of the Section 8A Tournament to Park Rapids 4-3.  

Perreault in an email, thanked his former assistant coaches, particularly Mike Andringa, who was his assistant for all eight years. Andringa had resigned a month ago.  Perreault also thanked his former and current players, Dave Kuehn who hired him, parents and his wife.  Jeff didn't give a reason for his resignation, but said he enjoyed every minute of coaching Pirate hockey,  and he is currently with the sixth grade classes of Highland School at their annual outing at Itasca State Park.  It was known that Perreault had thought about resigning after the season, but Crookston Activities Director Tom Speltz, had told him to take his time and think about it, and Perreault handed it in on Monday, and it should be acted on by the Crookston School Board on Monday, May 14th.  Perreault will continue to be a sixth grade teacher in Crookston and he is currently the head girl's golf coach at CHS.  
The Crookston School District will also be looking for a new Activities Director, and it's uncertain, if Mr. Speltz will be able to hire a new boy's hockey coach before he is done early in June.
