East Ridge QB Green has moved to Texas

It's been confirmed that East Ridge quarterback Seth Green and his family have moved to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Green has enrolled at Allen (Texas) High School, a school of more than 4,500 in the northern suburbs of Dallas that has won three consecutive Texas state championships. Green, who committed to Oregon last fall, is the second high-profile East Ridge football player to leave the program. Wide receiver Kjetil Cline transferred to IMG Academy in Florida in hopes of getting greater exposure.

Referendum includes athletic facilities

If residents of the Stillwater school district pass the proposed $97.5 million referendum that was unanimously approved by the ISD 384 school board, part of that money would go to toward upgrading the district's athletic facilities. The plan is to build an athletic center at the high school that would include an indoor track, gym and fitness center. Stillwater's Pony Stadium would also receive upgrades. District residents will go to the polls on May 15 to vote on the referendum.

Engstrom sets record

New Life Academy senior forward Conrad Engstrom set a school record for points in a season with 582. The 6-4 Engstrom averaged 20.8 points per game and scored a career-high 44 in a victory over Minnehaha Academy in the Section 4, Class 2A playoffs.
