All Things Go

Nicki Minaj continues to reinvent herself on her latest effort, "The Pinkprint." The title track "All Things Go" explains the fragility of celebrity and life in general. It is perhaps the deepest Minaj track I've ever heard. It is also the most like the previous Nicki on the album.

For the week of Dec. 11-16, I covered a Pierz/Royalton-Upsala wrestling match, a Little Falls Hockey game and a Pierz boys basketball game. For next week I'll have another Flyers hockey game, an Upsala/Royalton girls basketball game and a doubleheader of Little Falls boys and girls basketball.

The fantasy football season closed this past week. I am sorry to say that I took third and fourth place respectively. I might post a some sort of season wrap-up column either on here or in the paper sometime soon.

I have several photos to share from last week (I apologize for the lack of cutlines, on the wrestling photos, but I couldn't identify them, and I don't want to be wrong):

The Flyers' Mack Anez tries to get around Northern Lakes' Nick Reed to get the puck Dec. 12 at the Exchange Arena.

Little Falls' Riley Scanlon stops to go after a loose puck as he tangles with Jared Sewall.

Sewall hits the Flyers' Landon Atkinson up against the boards behind the net.

Little Falls junior Thomas Miller tracks down a loose puck as Reed chases him.

I believe that is Little Falls senior Connor Jorgensen  fighting with the Lighting forward Brett Gontarek.

Alec Stark (No. 2) slides to a stop with Joshua Maucieri right with him. 

Austin Fenske, a Little Falls senior, prepares for a face off against Lightning center Nick Olson.

Jorgensen flips the puck up to an official.

Little Falls forward Bryce DeDomines looks to pass down by the net.

Senior Nik Himley crashes into Northern Lakes defenseman Derrek French as they both go for a loose puck.

Pierz senior Robbie Skiba about to try for the opening tip against Eden Valley-Watkins' Jared Streit.

Nick Herold drives toward the baseline.

Pierz junior Jonny Kasper absorbs contact from Reese Jansen (right) on his way to the hoop Dec. 16.

Herold guards Jansen on a bit of full court press.

Kasper calls out a play as Jansen guards him.

Herold blows by Bret Mattice of the Eagles.
