Tip of the Week: Putting on aerated greens.

All good golf courses do it, not too many golfers like it, but we all know it benefits the life and health of the greens plus has many long term ben-efits, so each year, we just have to learn to live with it. Anyhow, to putt better after greens have been aerated, simply grip your putter a little firmer, it will help the ball roll truer and help you hole more putts.

Good luck and good golf-ing! If you need more help with your golf game, please contact Jim or Andrew, the PGA golf professionals here at Blueberry Pines Golf Club, or call your local PGA professional.

Warriors ran well in a huge field at the Myron Ahle Lucky Lindy Invitational at Little Falls on September 13.

The event featured teams and runners from 20 schools. According to UNC coach Steve Schreiber who said that most of the Warriors turned in personal records or season-best times.

Monticello won the team title in the girls varsity race and Jenna Truedson of Bemidji won the individual medal with a time of 14:20.2.

The UNC girls placed 15th as a team with Emily Keranen leading the way with a time of 17:20.5 to finish 76 out

of 128 runners. Joy Haataja placed 86th (17:34.7) just a few strides ahead of Madi Lausten, who finished 87th (17:36.6). The rest of the team finished as follows: Andrea Korvela, 90th, 17:43.3; Jill Isaacson, 104, 18:02.1; Jen Stifter, 108, 18:11.3 and Sarah Kuismi, 115, 18:30.1.

In the boys varsity race, Joe Klecker of Hopkins won the race with a time of 15:36.5 and led his team to the championship.

The Warriors ran as an incomplete team. Ryan Johnson finished 102nd with a time of 19:24.4. Cameron Zeigler was 135th with a time of 21:48.3 and Don Wurdock finished 139th at 24:09.6.

"Hunters simply need to take into account the drier conditions, do some scouting and not be surprised on open-ing morning if conditions on their favorite lake are sig-nificantly different from past years," said Cordts.

UNC Downed by USA, 41-6

By Roy RudderforthThe United North Central Warriors football team was at its

best in the early minutes of the first quarter, scoring the first touchdown of the home-opener with Upsala/Swanville Area (USA), but victory eluded the Warriors once again.

USA capitalized on a handful of UNC turnovers to secure a decisive 41-6 victory in Sebeka on Friday.

Quarterback Brandon Junes completed nine of 14 pass attempts for 149 yards and one touchdown, but was inter-cepted three times.

Tanner Schwartz was the leading receiver with two catches for 66 yards and one touchdown. Jeff Skoog had two catches for 50 yards. Keiler Skaro gained 25 yards on three recep-tions. Taylor Carlson had one catch for six yards and Stetson Burkman had one for two yards.

Skoog paced the running attack with 92 yards on 22 carries. Tristan Kjellberg ran twice for 19 yards. Dylan Huttunen car-ried the ball four times for five yards.

Bob Lusti topped the tackle chart again with nine tack-les. Huttunen had seven; Carlson, six; Skoog, five and Tim Weisler, five.
