Do high school students read newspapers? These will write for one
Robin Washington column: Young people don’t read the newspaper, right? They get whatever information they need from the net, correct? Not if you’re talking about the Duluth East Daredevils robotics team or their Blue Twilight counterparts from metro-area Eagan High School.

Sizing up the state’s coaches

Monday with Mitch: Snow fun then? No fun now
