The mellow months of Summer are nearly dawned but last week still had plenty of significant developments.
I'd be remiss to give first mention to any other than the first-time softball conference champions from Fargo North! Along with the top seed in Dickinson Thursday that meant hooking Bismarck for the first game of the weekend.
West Fargo and Sheyenne slotted in at 2 & 4 as the other reps from the region.

The drum-beat of activity also brought an offer from State College, PA for Sheyenne big Tommy Ahneman. As much of a tidal wave as his recruitment is proving to be, that may not be the crest for it either!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Redhawks are also riding high right now, taking six of the seven games they played since last Sunday as both their bats and arms came through very effectively - 57 runs scored, 32 given up (18 in two games which they still split). With three full months to go no one should be making plans for another championship but it was every bit of an encouraging week!

The same can't be said for the Howl. They've been competitive til the end in all three games against Dallas but weren't able to win any of them so it's a meager consolation. Whether they win or lose Tuesday it will go down as the first or second best season so far for the franchise and also leave plenty of questions for Tim Connelly & Chris Finch to answer. It's a frustrating duality but that's basically been the existence of the Minnesota pro sports scene since the Twins won the Series.

Speaking of them, the Twins got off their swoon with a pair of series wins over Washington and Texas. With Cleveland and Kansas City both red hot Minnesota will need to avoid many more slumps just to remain in the mix for the Central as they move into the Summer spotlight.

It was also a big week for the amateur Olympics
Concordia senior Wade Rhonemus took 15th in the Decathlon at nationals, earning All-American for the second time!

At the same time the North Dakota State meets were competed in Bismarck. As exciting as listing every successful individual from the area would be, I'll just give you the chance to check out all the results for yourself.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another memorable week for the Fargo area sports scene!
