>>> A TRAGIC ACCIDENT HAS TAKEN THE LIFE OF A MAN WHO WAS WORKING FOR A PRIVATE TREE REMOVAL SERVICE NEAR MENAHGA.

THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED SHORTLY BEFORE THREE, THURSDAY AFTERNOON WHEN THE WADENA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE RECEIVED A 9-1-1 CALL ABOUT AN ADULT MALE WHO WAS INJURED BY A FALLEN TREE.

THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE AT A RURAL RESIDENCE IN BLUEBERRY TOWNSHIP.

WHEN FIRST RESPONDERS ARRIVED ON SCENE THEY FOUND THAT C.P.R.

HAD BEEN STARTED ON THE INDIVIDUAL AND WHILE LIFE-SAVING MEAUSURES WERE CONTINUED THE MAN WAS PRONOUCED DEAD.

THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE SAID THE MAN WAS WORKING FOR A PRIVATE CONTRACTOR.

THE INDIVIDUAL HAD CLIMBED UP A TREE TO SAW OFF THE TOP PORTION AND WHILE DOING SO THE BASE OF THE TREE BROKE, CAUSING THE TREE TO TIP OVER, ULTIMATELY CAUSING THE MAN TO FALL WITH THE TREE ON TOP OF HIM.

THE MAN'S IDENTITY HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED PENDING NOTIFICATION OF FAMILY MEMBERS.

THE INCIDENT REMAINS UNDER INVESTIGATION.

>>> THE WHITEFISH AREA PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN FIGHTING AN INVASIVE AQUATIC SPECIES FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.

REPORTER DANIEL PURSELL HAS MORE.

>> Reporter: STAR STONE WART IS AN INVASIVE SPECIES THAT THREATEN THE AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS HERE IN MINNESOTA, BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.

>> WE DISCOVERED IT ON THIS SPOT BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR AND THEN WE DID A HAND PULL LAST YEAR, WHICH WAS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT.

THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF BIO MASS.

SO WE HAD TWO TRAILER-LOADS OF IT.

>> Reporter: IT'S CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING CHEMICAL TREATMENTS AND PHYSICAL REMOVAL, WITH NO ERADICATION ANYWHERE FROM NORTH AMERICA.

>> WHEN YOU TREAT IT WITH A CHEMICAL, IT'S NOT LIKE A PLANT WITH A VENOUS SYSTEM.

WITH THIS, YOU HAVE TO HIT EACH CELL WITH CHEMICALS IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO KILL IT.

>> Reporter: DESPITE THE ODDS BEING STACKED AGAINST THEM, THE ASSOCIATION IS SEEING GREAT RESULTS AS THEY TRY TO HARVEST THE STONEWORT.

>> IT WOULD PUSH NEW REPRODUCTION STRUCTURES INTO THE SEDIMENT BUT BECAUSE OF THE TREATMENT CYCLE, WE THINK WE PREVENTED IT FROM GOING INTO THAT MODE.

IT'S SO MUCH IN RECESSION, WE'RE NOT SEEING MUCH BIO MASS TO HARVEST RIGHT NOW.

>> Reporter: TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF THE PESKY PLANT, THE ASSOCIATION DEVELOPED A VOLUNTEER CURRICULUM FOR PEOPLE TO IDENTIFY AND REMOVE STONEWORT IF THEY NOTICE IT ON THEIR PROPERTY.

>> WE'RE GETTING VOLUNTEERS TO GO OUT ON ANY LAKES IN THE AREA OR IN MINNESOTA, WILL EXPAND ANYWHERE AND JUST ASKING VOLUNTEERS TO BASICALLY THROW A RAKE AT LEAST THREE TIMES A SUMMER TO PULL UP AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES.

>> THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO STOP STARRY STONEWORT IS TO DETECT IT EARLY AND BE ABLE TO GET ON IT AND MANAGE IT RIGHT AWAY.

>> Reporter: REPORTING IN CROSS LAKE, I'M DANIEL PURSELL, LAKELAND NEWS.

>>> REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE D.N.R.

WERE PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS OF THURSDAYS EFFORTS AND INSTRUCTED THE ASSOCIATION TO NOT CONDUCT AN ADDITIONAL TREATMENT IN THE AREA.

>>> A NEW TYPE OF UNION IS TRYING START UP IN BEMIDJI.

INSTEAD OF REPRESENTING THE WORKERS, THIS UNION PLANS TO FIGHT FOR THE RIGHTS OF RENTERS IN THE AREA.

FORMER BEMIDJI CITY COUNCIL MEMBER AND BELTRAMI COUNTY COMMISSIONER, REED OLSON, AND 4TH GENERATION UNION MEMBER, BRADY CROSBY ESTABLISHED THE ORGANIZATION BACK IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR.

THE PAIR HOSTED THEIR FIRST MEETING YESTERDAY AT THE BEMIDJI PUBLIC LIBRARY, WITH 14 POTENTIAL MEMBERS STOPPING BY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THEIR PURPOSE.

>> WE WANT TO BE NUMBER ONE A RESOURCE TO ANYBODY THAT IS LIVING IN RENTAL HOUSING IN THE COMMUNITY.

WE ALSO WANT TO ADVOCATE FOR GOOD HOUSING POLICY AND A GOOD RENTAL ORDINANCE IN THE CITY OF BEMIDJI.

SO WE WANT TO DO OUTREACH TO OUR LOCAL ELECTIVES AND WE ALSO WANT TO BE THERE FOR RENTERS AND HELP THEM OUT IN ANY WAY WE CAN.

WE WANT TO BE THERE TO HELP PEOPLE THAT HAVE UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.

>> OLSON BELIEVES BEMIDJI HAS BECOME MORE OF A RENTERS COMMUNITY, SAYING THAT 58-PERCENT OF BEMIDJI RESIDENTS CURRENTLY LIVE IN RENTAL HOUSING.

A BIG JUMP FROM THE 20PERCENT JUST A DECADE AGO.

THE HEADWATERS LANDLORD ASSOCIATION IN BEMIDJI SUPPORTS LANDLORDS IN THE AREA.

OLSON BELIEVES TENANTS SHOULD HAVE THE SAME SUPPORT SYSTEM.

>> WE WANT TO BE A RESOURCE.

IF ANYTHING, WE WANT TO COMPLEMENT THE LANDLORD ASSOCIATION.

WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHO WE ARE AS AN ORGANIZATION, WHAT OUR GOALS ARE.

YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY MONEY TIME SOON, WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO COME TOGETHER AND FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN BE THE BEST RESOURCE POSSIBLE TO THE RENTERS AND THE TENANTS IN THE COMMUNITY.

>> THE NEXT MEETING FOR THE BEMIDJI TENANTS UNION IS SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 12TH AT 5:30 P.M.

AT THE BEMIDJI PUBLIC LIBRARY.

THE DATE OF THAT MEETING HOWEVER COULD CHANGE.

ORGANIZERS ASK TO PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE ORGANIZATIONS FACEBOOK PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE NEXT MEETING.

>>> THE CROW WING COUNTY LAND SERVICES HOSTED AN ONLINE PUBLIC LAND AUCTION THIS PAST WEEK.

OVER 170 PARCELS WERE OFFERED VIA THE PUBLIC SURPLUS AUCTION WEBSITE FOR ALL THOSE INTERESTED.

WHILE THE ONLINE PORTION OF THE PUBLIC LAND SALE CONCLUDED WEDNESDAY EVENING, MANY PROPERTIES THAT REMAIN UNSOLD FROM THIS YEARS SALE ALONG WITH PREVIOUS YEARS ARE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AT THE LAND SERVICES COUNTER.

THE AVAILABLE PARCELS CAN BE UTILIZED FOR RECREATION, SEASONAL USE, OR BUILDINGS, AND VARY DEPENDING ON LOCATION, SIZE, AND PRICE.

>> FOR RECREATION USE, HUNTING LAND, SOME OF THEM ARE BUILDABLE SITES IF PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR A PIECE OF LAND TO BUILD ON.

A LOT OF IT, THEY MAY OWN THE PARCEL NEXT TO IT AND SAY HEY, I CAN ADD AN ACRE TO MY LAND.

SO IT'S ADDING THE ACREAGE TO WHAT THEY OWN.

>> MORE INFORMATION ON THESE PARCELS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE CROW WING COUNTY LAND SERVICES DEPARTMENTS WEBSITE.

>>> WHAT ORIGINALLY STARTED OUT AS A COATS FOR KIDS WINTER COAT DRIVE, EXPANDED INTO COATS FOR THE COMMUNITY MANY YEARS AGO, AS THE UNITED WAY OF BEMIDJI AREA RECOGNIZED THE NEED FOR A COLD WEATHER CLOTHING DRIVE WAS NECESSARY FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES IN THE BELTRAMI COUNTY AREA.

DONATION BOXES ARE PUT UP AROUND THE COMMUNITY FOR WEEKS, THEN EVERYTHING IS BROUGHT TO FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH IN BEMIDJI WHERE ITEMS ARE SORTED.

EVERYTHING FROM HATS, MITTENS, BOOTS, AND SNOWPANTS ARE ALL ACCEPTED.

THEN, VOLUNTEERS SPEND TIME PREPARING FOR DISTRIBUTION DAY.

THIS YEAR, THE UNITED WAY WAS JOINED BY STAFF FROM LUEKENS AND ATHLETES FROM BEMIDJI STATES TRACK AND FIELD TEAM TO ASSIST IN THE EFFORTS.

>> WE WANT TO BE AS INVOLVED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

EVERYTHING WE DO, WE TRY TO MAKE BEMIDJI A BETTER PLACE FOR EVERYBODY THAT IS HERE AND THIS GIVE US ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO DO VOLUNTEER WORK.

WHEN YOU START TO SEE IN THE STORES, THE BINS OVERFLOW QUICKLY, YOU'RE MOVING STUFF AWAY FROM THE FRONT OF THE STORE AND YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU COME HERE IT'S LIKE HOLY COW.

IT'S TEN TIMES MORE THAN WE SEE IN OUR STORES.

>> ON AN AVERAGE DISTRIBUTION DAY, MORE THAN 3,000 ITEMS GO OUT THE DOOR TO THOSE IN NEED.

THE EVENT IS NO QUESTIONS ASKED OR NAMES WRITTEN DOWN, PEOPLE CAN JUST SHOW UP AND GET WHAT THEY NEED TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE MINNESOTA WINTER.

>> I THINK ONCE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS, THEY GET INVESTED IN IT AND WANT TO GIVE TO THE COMMUNITY IN THAT WAY.

IT'S HEARTWARMING FOR ME TO SEE PEOPLE COME IN WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND GET THEM WARM CLOTHES TO WEAR ALL WINTER LONG THAT THEY MAY NOT HAVE HAD OTHERWISE.

THAT'S THE BEST PART, SEEING THE RESULTS FROM ALL THE WORK WE PUT IN OVER THE YEARS.

>> THE DISTRIBUTIONS WILL START TOMORROW, SATURDAY OCTOBER 11TH, AT 9:00 A.M.

AND WILL GO TO NOON.

THE LEFTOVER WINTER CLOTHING ITEMS THAT DO NOT GET TAKEN WILL BE DONATED TO OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND SHELTERS IN NEED.

[♪♪♪] >> STILL TO COME ON LAKELAND NEWS AT 10:00.

[♪♪♪] >>> WE ARE ONLY HOURS AWAY UNTIL A RECORD NUMBER OF RUNNERS LACE UP THEIR SHOES AND TAKE PART IN THE BLUE OX MARATHON.

WHILE SOME OF THE EVENTS LIKE THE 5K AND 10K WERE HELD TODAY, THE MAIN EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW.

THE 2025 EVENT PROVES TO BE THE LARGEST SINCE ITS START BACK IN 2013.

THIS YEAR, RUNNERS FROM TWENTY EIGHT STATES AND TWO CANADIAN PROVINCES WILL BE HITTING THE VARIOUS ROUTES SET ALONG BEMIDJI'S COLORFUL AND SCENIC FALL LANDSCAPE.

HERE IS A LOOK AT THE COURSE MAP FOR THE HALF AND THE FULL MARATHON.

SOME CHANGES HAD TO BE MADE DUE TO THE STORM THAT HIT BEMIDJI BACK ON JUNE 21ST.

PARTS OF THE STATE PARK TRAIL REMAINS CLOSED FOR RECOVERY AND RESTORATION, SO MARATHON OFFICIALS HAD TO RE-IMAGINE SMALL SECTIONS OF THE COURSE AROUND LAKE BEMIDJI STATE PARK.

THE FULL MARATHON WILL START AT 8:30 A.M.

WITH THE HALF MARATHON STARTING AT 9:00.

AWARD CEREMONIES WILL BE HELD AT NOON FOR THE HALF MARATHON AND THE 26K WINNERS.

ANOTHER AWARDS CEREMONY WILL BE HELD AT ONE FOR THE FULL MARATHON OVERALL WINNERS.

>>> STACY JOINS US NOW, AND YOU CAN ALMOST GIVE A MEDAL FOR SATURDAY.

>> Stacy: WE'RE GOING TO SEE WINDS PICKING UP TOMORROW, BUT IT LOOKS SUNNY AND MILD, SHOWERS WILL BE MOVING INTO THE AREA IT LOOKS LIKE TOMORROW NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AND THAT IS GOING TO BRING SOME COOLER [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW THE WEATHER WITH STACY CHRISTENSON.

[♪♪♪] >> Stacy: WELL, WE DID GET TO ENJOY MORE SUNSHINE AND MILD TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AND IT LOOKS LIKE MORE IN STORE TOMORROW.

WINDS MAY PICK UP A LITTLE BIT, SO IT COULD BE A LITTLE BIT BREEZY BUT OTHERWISE, MILD WITH THAT SUNSHINE.

HEADING INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND, A COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN MOVING ACROSS THE STATE AND THAT WILL TRIGGER SOME SHOWERS AND MAYBE SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS AS IT MOVES THROUGH, AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO SEE COOLER TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEK.

RIGHT NOW IN BEMIDJI, IT'S 43 DEGREES AT THE AIRPORT.

AT OUR STUDIO, WINDS ARE CALM WITH A DEW POINT OF 34.

HUMIDITY IS AT 71%.

IN BRAINERD, CLEAR SKIES, 49 DEGREES, 35 IS OUR DEW POINT, PRESSURE IS ON THE RISE, AND WE HAVE CALM WINDS.

LOOKING AT OUR SATELLITE AND RADAR, AGAIN, NOTHING TO SEE.

WE HAVE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AND INTO THIS EVENING.

OVERNIGHT TONIGHT, MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WILL CONTINUE, AND IT IS GOING TO BE CHILLY, WE'RE EXPECTING TO SEE THE TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE LOW TO MID-30s ACROSS OUR VIEWING AREA.

HEADING INTO TOMORROW, THAT SUNSHINE WILL BE BACK, WINDS WILL PICK UP, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE BACK IN THE 60s.

WEATHER SHOTS TO SHARE WITH YOU TONIGHT, A BEAUTIFUL DAY FROM ARLENE IN MENAHGA, GARY SAYING A LOT OF PINE CONES ON THE TREES IN THE AREA.

LAURIE SPOTTING A WESTERN GRIEVE ON LITTLE TURTLE LAKE AND ANGELA, A LITTLE CAMOUFLAGE THERE, BUT WE HAVE A BROWN WEAVER SPIDER IN CASS LAKE AND BILL AND JUDY SENDING US THIS PHOTO OF THE EVENING SKIES OVER UPPER RED LAKE.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THOSE TONIGHT.

FOR OUR EAGLE EYES REPORTS, ARLENE IN MENAHGA, 61 AND WINDY THIS AFTERNOON.

BOB IN BLUFFTON, SUNNY AND A HIGH OF 62.

ANGELA AT CASS LAKE, REPORTING CLEAR SKIES WITH A HIGH OF 61.

LOOKING AT OUR ALMANAC, WE TOPPED OUT AT 62 IN BRAINERD TODAY, AND LITTLE BIT ABOVE THAT AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE.

OUR LOW WAS 46.

WE HAD SUNRISE AT 7:29.

BEMIDJI TOPPING OUT AT 61, SO AGAIN ABOVE THAT AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE, AVERAGE HIGHS ARE IN THE MID-50s.

39 WAS OUR LOW AND WE HAD SUNSET AT 6:38.

TOMORROW, A NON-EVENTFUL FORECAST.

CLEAR SKIES, WINDS MAY PICK UP A LITTLE BIT, SO IT COULD BE BREEZY.

THEN NOT EXPECTING TO SEE MUCH IN THE WAY OF CLOUD COVER UNTIL WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING HOURS AND WE COULD SEE SOME SHOWERS MOVING IN TOMORROW NIGHT, CONTINUING INTO SUNDAY.

FOR THE DAYTIME, IT LOOKS SUNNY AND MILD WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID-60s ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF OUR VIEWING AREA AND HEADING INTO CENTRAL MINNESOTA, WE SHOULD BE SEEING MID-60s, POSSIBLY EVEN INTO SOME UPPER 60s AS WE HEAD MORE INTO THAT FAR SOUTHERN PART OF LAKELAND COUNTRY.

SO OUR FORECAST FOR TONIGHT, MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES, WE WILL SEE LOWS DROPING TO 33 WITH VARIABLE WINDS UP TO 10 MILES PER HOUR.

TOMORROW, SUNNY SKIES, 65 FOR THE HIGH, BUT THE WINDS WILL PICK UP OUT OF THE SOUTH ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 25.

LOOKING AT THE REST OF OUR WEEKEND FORECAST, THE COLD FRONT BEGINS TO MOVE THROUGH AND THAT WILL BRING US SOME SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY SOME THUNDERSTORMS ON SUNDAY.

HIGHS WILL STILL BE NEAR 67 BUT AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH, IT WILL COOL OFF SIGNIFICANTLY, SO BY MONDAY, WE'RE LOOKING AT HIGHS RIGHT AROUND 50, WITH SOME LOW TO MID-50s AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK.

OVERALL, FAIRLY QUIET, JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS IN WESTERN MINNESOTA ON WEDNESDAY.

BACK TO YOU.

>> Josh: THANK YOU VERY MUCH STACY.

IT'S PERFECT WEATHER INDOORS FOR SOME HOCKEY.

>> Charlie: IT'S ALWAYS PERFECT WEATHER INDOORS FOR HOCKEY.

IT MAY HAVE BEEN COOLER INDOORS FOR THE HOCKEY GAME.

BEMIDJI STAY, HOME OPENER AGAINST RIVAL ST.

CLOUD STATE.

THEY ARE HOPING TO NOT LOSE 6.

WE HAVE THE HIGHLIGHT FROM THAT AND FOOTBALL AROUND THE AREA AS WELL, SOME BIG, BIG GAMES WITH SECTION SEATING IMPLICATIONS ON THE LINE.

ALL THAT AND MORE COMING U [♪♪♪] >> AND NOW YOUR LOCAL SPORTS WITH CHARLIE YAEGER.

[♪♪♪] >>> 1-7-2, A STATISTIC THAT'S BEEN ECHOED BY BSU MEN'S HOCKEY PLAYERS AND COACHES ALL WEEK.

IT'S BEMIDJI STATES RECORD VERSUS RIVAL SAINT CLOUD STATE OVER THEIR LAST 10-GAMES, AND A MOTIVATING FACTOR FOR THE BEAVERS WHO HAVE ALSO LOST 5-STRAIGHT TO THE HUSKIES.

TONIGHT, THEY FACE-OFF AT THE SANFORD CENTER FOR GAME ONE OF A HOME-AND-HOME SERIES, IT'S ALSO BSU'S HOME OPENER.

MID FIRST PERIOD, THEY ARE TRAILING 1-0.

NOW TIC TAC TOE, THAT'S A BEAVER GOAL.

LATER IN THE PERIOD, HUSKIES ANSWER ON A POWER PLAY OF THEIR OWN.

BARRETT SNEAKS ONE IN TO PUT ST.

CLOUD BACK IN FRONT.

THEN IN THE SECOND, IT'S OLIVER AGAIN, NO SCOPE, BAR DOWN, BRINGS THE BEAVERS TO WITHIN 1, BUT NO ONE WOULD SCORE AFTER THAT.

BEAVERS FALL 3-2 TO THE HUSKIES FOR THE SIXTH STRAIGHT TIME.

BEMIDJI HAS ANOTHER CHANCE TO SNAP THAT STREAK TOMORROW IN ST.

CLOUD.

PUCK DROP THERE IS AT 6:00 P.M.

A COUPLE MORE SCORES FOR YOU IN WOMEN'S HOCKEY, BEMIDJI STATE FALLS TO OHIO STATE 6-0.

COLLEGE SOCCER, THEY GET A BIG WIN OVER ST.

CLOUD STATE TONIGHT, BEMIDJI STATE DOES EARLY P.K.

AND THEN A LATE GOAL BY MAGGIE GETS THE JOB DONE.

THEY HAVE MINNESOTA STATE COMING SUNDAY.

THEN IN COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL, JAMESTOWN EDGES BEMIDJI STATE IN 5 SETS.

>>> IT'S OFTEN SAID RECORDS DON'T MATTER IN A RIVALRY GAME, ANYTHING THING CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU ENTER THE ARENA, WHICH IS WHAT MAKES THOSE GAMES SO INTRIGUING.

HOWEVER, TWO RIVALS MEETING AS UNDEFEATED TEAMS RANKED IN THE TOP SIX IN THEIR CLASS LATE IN THE SEASON WITH SECTION SEEDING IMPLICATIONS ON THE LINE, WELL THAT'S WHAT INSTANT CLASSICS ARE MADE OF.

TONIGHT, A SECTION 6-2A CLASH OF UNBEATEN RIVALS, 4TH RANKED STAPLES-MOTLEY HOSTING 6TH RANKED PILLAGER, THE SERIES SPLIT 2-2 OVER THE PAST 4-SEASONS.

ELI FINDS HIS FAVORITE TARGET, 39-YARD TOUCHDOWN STRIKE.

THIRD QUARTER, SAME SCORE, GRANT GETS ON HIS HORSE FOR PILLAGER, THE DEFENSE, 78-YARD HOUSE CALL.

NOW 16-14 STAPLES MOTLEY AFTER A MISSED 2-POINT CONVERSION.

NOW THEY ARE DOWN, AND CARDINALS ARE UP 24-22, BUT THE HUSKIES INSIDE TWO MINUTES TO PLAY WOULD NOT BE DENIED.

18-YARD RUSH, 30 TO 24 PILLAGER.

30 SECONDS LEFT NOW, CARDINALS IN THE RED ZONE, LOOKING, LOOKING, GETTING CHASED DOWN BY SOME HUSKIES, IT'S A SACK FUMBLE RECOVERED BY PILLAGER AND THAT WOULD BE YOUR BALL GAME.

INSTANT CLASSIC INDEED.

PILLAGER KNOCKS OFF STAPLES MOTLEY.

GAME LIVED UP TO THE HYPE.

HUSKIES MADE ONE MORE PLAY.

IF WE'RE LUCKY, THESE TWO COULD MEET AGAIN IN THE SECTION PLAYOFFS.

>>> HEARTBREAK IS THE ONLY WORD TO DESCRIBE BEMIDJI FOOTBALLS 1-POINT LOSS AT ALEXANDRIA LAST FRIDAY.

IT WAS THE LUMBERJACKS FIRST SECTION LOSS, THEIR SECOND 1-POINT LOSS THIS SEASON, AND THIRD LOSS OVERALL.

A TOTAL OF 10-POINTS SEPARATING THE 3-3 SQUAD FROM A PERFECT 6-0 RECORD.

BUT DESPITE IT ALL, THE JACKS COULD SECURE THE 2-SEED AND A HOME SEMIFINAL GAME IN SECTION 8-5A WITH A WIN AT HOME TONIGHT AGAINST SARTELL.

>>> FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME, MILES GOES UP THE MIDDLE, COMPLETELY UNTOUCHED FOR OVER 70 YARDS.

IT'S LIKE SARTELL WAS GOING TO BE THE TEAM THAT IS GOING TO PAY UP FOR WHAT HAPPENS IN ALEXANDRIA.

JACKS UP 7-0.

LATER, SABERS ARE SETTING UP TO PUNT, IT GETS BLOCKED, JERRY SECURE IT IS BALL, PUTS THE JACKS INSIDE THE RED ZONE.

THEY SCORE ON THE NEXT PLAY, MAKING IT 14-0.

JUMPING TO THE SECOND QUARTER, JACKS UP BY 21 NOW.

PUPPET FORMATION YET AGAIN AND IT'S REALLY NOT WORKING GREAT FOR THE SABERS.

THIS TIME, THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS ONE TO THE HOUSE.

I'M NOT SURE WHICH IS WORSE, BUT THEY'RE BOTH GOOD FOR BEMIDJI.

THAT WOULD BE HIS THIRD TOUCHDOWN OF THE DAY.

JACKS GO ON INTO HALFTIME UP 28-0.

THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE REST OF THE GAME.

THEY WIN 42-19.

AGAIN, PUNISHING, PUNISHING SARTELL FOR WHAT HAPPENED IN ALEXANDRIA.

>>> IN CLASS 3-A, NUMBER-2 RANKED PEQUOT LAKES IS A PERFECT 6-0, THEY'RE HOSTING ONE-LOSS SECTION FOE TWO HARBORS.

SENIOR NIGHT AT PEQUOT LAKES, PATRIOTS CAME OUT SWINGING, SECOND PLAY FROM SCRIMMAGE, GRIFFEN HANNAH BREAKING TACKLES FOR A 60 YARD T.D.

RUN, PATRIOTS UP 7-0.

THEY'RE CELEBRATING LIKE IT.

JAKE OLSON GETTING INTO THE BACKFIELD ON BACK TO BACK PLAYS.

PEQUOT LOOKING TO SCORE ON THREE STRAIGHT DRIVES TO START GAME, A 40-YARD TOUCHDOWN RUN, PATS SCORED ON THEIR FIRST FOUR DRIVES OF THE GAME.

THAT RUN AWAY WITH THIS ONE 41-0 TO REMAIN UNBEATEN.

>>> A COUPLE MORE SCORES FOR YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL.

ALEXANDRIA, THEY BEAT BRAINERD 49-18.

GRAND RAPIDS, A HUGE WIN OVER PROCTOR.

THEY ONLY HAVE ONE LOSS THIS YEAR AND THAT IS TO BEMIDJI.

PIERZ STAYS UNDEFEATED AS WELL.

THIEF RIVER FALLS EDGES PARK RAPIDS BY A POINT.

PELICAN RAPIDS BEATS WARROAD.

PARKERS PRAIRIE GETS THE WIN OVER WADENA DEER CREEK.

RUSH CITY BEATS CROSBY-IRONTON.

BERTHA HEWITT GETS THE WIN OVER McGREGOR.

LITTLE FORK BIG FALLS BEATS BLACKDUCK.

AND CLEAR BROOK GONVICK, A CLOSE ONE WITH FOSSTON BUT THEY COME OUT ON TOP.

A GREAT NIGHT OF FOOTBALL.

>> Josh: A LOT OF FOOTBALL AND MORE FOOTBALL ACTION TOMORROW NIGHT.

>> Charlie: WE'LL SEE IF THEY CAN.

>> Josh: YEAH, THERE YOU GO.

THANKS CHARLIE.

THE CROSSING ARTS ALLIANCE IS SHOWCASING ARTWORK FROM ALL OVER CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND BEYOND FOR ITS THIRD ANNUAL CERMANICS INVITATIONAL, CUP NORTH THREE.

REPORTER MILES WALKER STOPPED THE ART GALLERY FOR THIS WEEKS IN-FOCUS.

>> Reporter: 40 ARTISTS FROM MINNESOTA, WISCONSIN, AND EVEN ONE FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM BROUGHT SOME OF THEIR FINEST PIECES OF POTTERY FOR THOSE WITHIN THE BRAINERD LAKES AREA TO SEE.

>> WE LOVE THE SHOW BECAUSE CERAMICS IS SUCH A FUNCTIONAL, TANGIBLE ART FORM, THAT IT'S A REALLY FUN WAY TO BRING PEOPLE IN THAT MAY BE NEW TO THE ART SCENE, MAY BE A SMALLER PURCHASE, A SMALLER ITEM, BUT ONE THAT IS FUNCTIONAL AND PART OF YOUR DAILY RITUAL.

>> Reporter: THE CUPS ON DISPLAY FOR THE CERAMIC INVITATIONAL ARE GENERALLY MADE OF CLAY, BUT THEIR COMPOSITION INCLUDE STONEWARE, EARTHEN WARE AND MORE.

>> SOME HAVE IMAGERY, SOME ARE SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD, AND A RANGE OF COLORS, AND KIND OF HANDLE AND DESIGN APPROACHES.

>> Reporter: THE CUPS ARE TYPICALLY FINISHED WITH GLAZES, SLIPS, PAINTS, OVERLAYS, TEXTURES, OR STAMPS BEFORE GOING THROUGH THE FURNACE ONE OR TWO TIMES.

>> IT'S REALLY THAT CONNECTION BETWEEN THE INDIVIDUAL AND THEIR INTERESTS AND THEIR EXPRESSION FROM ELECTRIC KILN FIRING, TO GAS FIRING, TO INTRODUCING SODIUM AND SALT INTO THE FIRINGS AS WELL, AND HAVING A NUMBER OF WOOD FIRE POTTERS.

>> Reporter: THE VARIOUS TECHNIQUES AND MATERIAL REGARDING THE MANY PIECES PRESENT AT THE CROSSING ARTS ALLIANCES PERSONIFIES EACH ARTIST'S ORIGINALITY.

>> POTTERY, FOR A LOT OF YEARS, WAS A MALE DOMINATED INDUSTRY AND NOW WE HAVE A LOT OF WOMEN POTTERS HERE WHO ARE MAKING THEIR OWN NAME.

WE REALLY HOPE THAT PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GIVE A PLATFORM HERE TO SOME DEGREE, TO EMERGING ARTISTS, TO ARTISTS NEW IN THEIR CAREER, WHILE SHOWCASING ARTISTS WHO HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME.

>> Reporter: REPORTING IN BRAINERD WITH THIS WEEK'S IN FOCUS, MILES WALKER, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> Josh: HAVE A GREAT NIGHT EVERYBODY, WE'LL SEE YOU BACK HERE ON MONDAY.

GOOD NIGHT.

>> Charlie: GOOD NIGHT.
