To the editor:I believe the Democrats are not only defending State Senator Nicole Mitchell arrested for the criminal act of burglary but are disregarding that criminal act by allowing her to continue to maintain her seat in the senate in order to keep their one seat majority (34 D’s - 33 R’s).
The Redwood Valley boys tennis team finished just shy of a State Tournament berth, placing second at the Section 3A Team Tournament held last week in Redwood Falls.The Cardinals entered the tournament as the three seed but after an easy win over MACCRAY in round one would upset second seed Benson 4-3 before falling to Montevideo 4-3 in the Section final.It was one of the strongest finishes for a Cardinal team in some time as individually Zack Lundeen and the doubles tandem of Cole Johnson and Kanyon Hicks remain alive for a chance to go to State.After topping MACCRAY 6-1 in the quarterfinals on May 20, the Cards squared off with Benson in the semifinals on May 22.Against the Braves it was the play of the Cardinal doubles teams that proved big as they swept all three matches.Johnson and Hicks rolled to a 6-3, 6-0 win; Cayden Johnson-Mariner and Mason Davis would earn a 6-0, 6-7, 6-1 win at second doubles and the third doubles duo of Laiten Goodthunder and Reese Regnier earned a 6-3, 6-1 win.In singles, Lundeen would win by default; Yzykiel Rendon fell 6-4, 6-3; Zach Malecek was upended 6-0, 6-0 and Alex Bourret lost a tough three-setter 7-5, 3-6, 6-2.In the Section final against top-seeded Montevideo, the Cards split the singles matches with Lundeen winning 6-2, 6-2 an Bourret earned a three-set win.The T-Hawks would take two of the three doubles matches to ultimately win although it wasn’t easy.Johnson and Hicks won 6-2, 6-1.Mariner-Johnson and Davis lost a hard fought battle at second doubles 7-6 (7-4), 4-6, 6-3 and Goodthunder and Regnier fell 6-4, 7-6 (9-7).The Section 3A Individual Tournament got underway on May 23 and Lundeen - the number one seed in singles action - rolled into the semifinals (after a bye in the quarterfinals) with a 6-0, 6-0 win over Logan Schauer of Benson.

Why was AJ Bruns nominated for Cardinal of the Month?
A six-run sixth inning proved to be the dagger as JCC held off a feisty Redwood Valley girls softball team 10-4 in the opening round of Section 3AA Tournament action.The Cardinals hung tough against the Huskies, tieing the score at four in the top half of the sixth on an RBI single from Kaelynn Welsh but the Huskies would put the game away and advance on to second round action.Kimberlyn Miketey went 2-for-2 with a solo homerun and Kendall Swann was 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI to lead a seven-hit attack.Kate Jacobson, Welsh and Morgan Franklin all had hits.Swann would get the start and took the loss on the hill allowing seven earned runs on 10 hits, striking out six and walking two in 5 1/3 innings.The Cardinal have a young squad and should be back next year with a chance to make some noise in the Section.
