Red Lake County School District

Four speakers from three rural Northern Minnesota school districts took first at the state Speech meet last weekend, and 14 more finished in the top eight.

The region will be well represented in the Class A meet, with 69 entries; Northern Minnesota has five entries in the 2A meet.

Three of the top four Class A teams were from Northern Minnesota in the 2025 boys basketball state tournament.

Cherry, Red Lake County, Nevis and Pequot Lakes will compete in the Minnesota State High School League tournament, the last of the winter sports season.
