When and Where: Feb. 11 at St. Croix Falls Outcome: St. Croix Falls 74, Luck 68 (overtime) Summary: St. Croix Falls did what they had to do to keep their chances alive for a West Lakeland conference title. The Saints defeated the visiting Luck Cardinals in an overtime thriller. With the game tied at 62 points each heading into the extra session SCF outscored the Cardinals 12-6 in overtime to earn the win. Highlights: Both teams had a quartet of players in double figures. Kullan Parks led the Saints with 17 points followed by Declan Greenquist and Payton Christenson with a dozen each. Trevor LaMirande added 10 points for the home team. Comments: “Big overtime win to knock off Luck, one of the leaders of the Lakeland Conference,” St. Croix Falls coach Chad Hall said. “The win gives us an outside chance to tie for the conference lead with a win and some help.

First spring migrants are back
T
he big Valentine’s Day freeze was just 24 hours away when I was sitting on a plastic bucket on a favorite local lake, trying to catch enough fish for fish tacos. I’m wondering if the fish will have lock jaw with the cold front coming or will they be on a feeding frenzy with a storm forecasted. Although I was focused on the fish flasher that’s lit up like a Christmas tree, I am super distracted by a distant sound that caught me completely off guard. Listening intently hoping to hear it again, my enthusiasm was rewarded Wild River by another and then another sound. The Horned Larks are back! Many Trails consider the Horned Lark to be Jim Bennett our first spring migrant to return,
although some are often around all winter, often seen with Snow Buntings Horned Larks are more easily spotted as the snow melts, especially closer to March; their yellow face, black mask, and horned like feathers stick straight up like ears. They are common across North America from Mexico to Alaska and the upper reaches of Canada. If they are hit with a March snowstorm they seek out little tufts of grass and appear after the storm singing all the while, like the one I heard from my bucket on the frozen lake. They nest early, often in late March, so heavy March snows can cause trouble. About 7” tall, they don’t get the publicity of many early migrants like Robins and Bluebirds, mostly because they inhabit SEE BENNETT, PAGE 19
