Men’s Soccer Snags 3^rd Straight Region XIII Championship!

The Anoka Ramsey Community College men’s soccer team captured their 3^rd consecutive Region XIII championship by defeating local rival, Century Community College this past Sunday on the Anoka-Ramsey campus soccer field.

The game began at 2:30 Sunday afternoon. It was a cool and cloudy day with on and off rain showers throughout. The combination of weather and the women’s game before- hand left the field’s playing surface in a messy and sloppy condition. However , the Golden Rams would adapt to the conditions and they would not be denied on their home pitch.

The Golden Rams wasted no time as Freshman mid-fielder Adem Jillo , from Irondale High , put in his first goal of the game, and 13^th on the year  with twenty-eight minutes remaining in the first half. Just Minutes later, Atanas Karagyaurov, a Freshman forward out of Elk River High School put one in the back of the net. The Rams led 2-0 with 25 minutes left in the first half. They would posses the ball well and hold their lead going into halftime.

The players returned to the field in hopes of holding off Centuries counter-attack and securing the victory and the Championship. The Golden Rams came out much less aggressive than the first half and looked to have backed off the pedal a bit. They were playing to protect their lead as they didn’t need to score. There were not many offensive opportunities in the second half. The defense played tough and tight. Mid-way through the half, Jillo would get behind the defense one more time and score his 2^nd goal of the contest. This killed the Wood-ducks hopes of Victory and secured the win for the Golden Rams. They would coast to a very comfortable 3-0 victory.

Coach Eichhorn-Hicks had a few comments on his team’s performance. “The game on Sunday was a nice comfortable victory.  The team is very confident with the ball and we keep possession very well.  The boys did a great job of controlling the tempo of the game early on and making Century chase the game.  We never allowed Century to get any time with the ball and put them under pressure from the opening whistle.”.

“ Century worked hard but we have a lot of talent this year and were just a little too strong for them.”

Sophomore mid-fielder from Elk River High School, Veselin Karagyaurov , was named the Region XIII player of the year after the game on Sunday. Other recognitions went to head coach Brady Eichhorn-Hicks as he had the great honor of being named the region’s Coach of the Year recipient. These are great accomplishments for your fellow Golden Rams!

Up next for the team will be Triton College from Illinois on Saturday. The game will be held on the Anoka-Ramsey campus and kickoff will begin at 1. This game will be for the District C championship and the winner will move on to the National Tournament held in New York.

Story # 3

Local Restaurant Worker is stabbed and killed by a masked man in an attempted robbery.

             

            “He came into my office, and we chatted about what happened in the restaurant the night before, and I asked him to make me some coffee. After he brought me a cup, I walked out to the corridor with him. That was the last time I saw him.”

These were the words of Nina Cortez, the bookkeeper for the North Point Inn restaurant located in Roseville, MN. According to Cortez, her work day started normal just as if it were a regular day; however this day would be far from her average shift at the restaurant.

            Cortez arrived to work at approximately 8:50 a.m. on Wednesday the 5^th of October. She then proceeded on to what she always does, having a routine chat with fellow co-worker and man in charge of the restaurant in the morning, Kevin Blohm. She then begins to count the cash and receipts from the previous night for the restaurants books. Her day would soon change in a way that she would never forget . Shortly after nine o’clock she was interrupted from her duties by a man carrying a knife and demanding the money from her. “I started screaming and kicking. My chair was on rollers , and when I started kicking, it fell. I fell on the floor, and he reached across my desk and grabbed $130 in five-dollar bills.”

            Cortez tells that the man, who was wearing a flowered scarf to disguise his face, said nothing. He just took her money and left her. During this time is when she recalls hearing the voice of a second culprit. Within minutes after the man left her room the police were in attendance of the restaurant, this is where Cortez would find the most disturbing part of her whole morning. In the hallway of her restaurant laid her supervisor, Kevin Blohm, dead with multiple stab wounds in his body.

            The Investigation of this tragic story is still ongoing. The Roseville Police Department will greatly appreciate any and all tips .
