📰 News we're reading
• Kyle Yancey-Lee Engevik — Anoka County (mncrime.com) — Blaine police stopped a vehicle on 85th Ave NE in the city and say they discovered large quantities of methamphetamine and oxycodone after noticing suspicious indicators during a traffic stop. The driver reportedly admitted possessing the drugs, and lab tests later confirmed the substances and linked DNA evidence to him. The case stems from a December 2024 incident and involves prior drug convictions. 
• MN boys lacrosse state quarterfinal results (startribune.com) — Blaine’s boys lacrosse team saw its state tournament run end in a 16–6 quarterfinal loss to Stillwater, despite jumping out to an early 4–2 lead. The Bengals were outscored after halftime as Stillwater’s offense surged, but Blaine’s Wyatt Parent and Weston Johnson still provided key scoring. Other Class 1A quarterfinals involving East Ridge and Farmington are also recapped.
