Redwood Valley High School hosted their 2023 Prom Saturday, April 26 with “Starry Night” as this year’s theme. Following the Grand March that took place in the Redwood Valley Gymnasium, 140 students bussed over to Inspire Wedding and Events in New Ulm for dinner, dancing, and hypnotism by Gary Tyson.
Winning by forfeit in all three doubles matches and taking three of the four singles matches the Redwood Valley Cardinals topped Pipestone Area 6-1 in recent Big South Conference tennis action. Andrew Muetzel would roll to a 6-1, 6-1 win at first singles.
It was a record setting day for Redwood Valley junior McKenna Flinn and sophomore Will Ahrens as both established new school records at the Sibley East Track Invitational. Flinn broke her own record in the pole vault as she cleared 8’9” to better her previous mark of 8’4” set a year ago.
In a good early season test the Redwood Valley baseball team split a Big South Conference road doubleheader with Blue Earth Area. The Cards would fall 3-2 in nine innings in game one but answered back with a solid 3-0 win in game two to earn the split.
It was a memorable Monday for Wabasso’s Adryen Tietz as he recorded a no-hitter in the Rabbits twinbill split with Springfield Monday afternoon. The Rabbits dropped game one 9-2 but Tietz dominated the Tiger line-up, going seven hitless innings and striking out 15 batters to earn the nono and the win in a 2-0 victory.
In the coming weeks, high school seniors across the country will don caps and gowns and proudly walk across a stage to receive a diploma in the culmination of a 13-year goal that has taken the support of many people along the way in order to achieve it. Seniors, your family, in particular, has been with you every step of the way and I hope you thank them.
To the editor: As a volunteer for the Alzheimer’s Association, I advocate for all people with dementia, but especially for my mom, Barb Bruns, who was diagnosed with Early On-Set Alzheimer at the age of 57. Thanks to our bipartisan champions in Congress, we’ve made great progress advancing research on Alzheimer’s and dementia, providing hope to families with this terrible disease.
To schedule a meal, please call a day before by 11:30 p.m. to the senior center at (507) 6446464 or Gail by 1:30 p.m.
