📰 News we're reading

• Wrestling: United North Central remains undefeated in duals (parkrapidsenterprise.com) — Wadena-Deer Creek wrestling fans saw their team fall 43-24 to United North Central, which stayed undefeated in duals with that win and a 32-29 comeback over Long Prairie-Grey Eagle/Browerville. Several UNC wrestlers notched quick pins and technical falls, while WDC battled but couldn’t overcome early Warrior momentum. The results shake up early-season expectations in Class A.
   

• Conservation Officer Reports: Consistent cold weather continues to help ice conditions on area lakes (wadenapj.com) — If you’re heading out near Wadena, conservation officers report early ice anglers finding some success with walleyes and panfish, but ice thickness still varies widely. Local officers are also busy checking trappers as fisher and bobcat seasons open, and monitoring growing snowmobile traffic on area trails. Readers are urged to use caution on lakes and ensure machines and licenses are up to date.
