In this Easter Sunday edition of Lots O’ Stuff we have baseball, football, wrestling, and hockey items.
Jacobsen takes loss
Jackson County Central graduate took the loss on the mound Saturday as Wisconsin-Superior defeated Bethany Lutheran College 5-1 in a UMAC baseball game at ISG Field in Mankato.

All-Camp Team
Seth Stai, currently a junior at Jackson County Central, was named to the Prep Redzone Minnesota All-Camp Team from a camp last weekend at the Maple Grove Dome.
Nate Wahl, Midwest Senior Scout for Prep Redone, had Seth listed on the third team. There were more than 90 players from Minnesota and Wisconsin participating.
Stai is an outside linebacker and running back.
Academic honors
Two Martin County West graduates who are members of the men’s wrestling team at Augsburg University have been honored as Division III Scholar All-Americans by the National Wrestling Coaches Association.
Blake Jagodzinske, a sophomore; and Lucas Jagodzinske, a first-year wrestler; both received honors.
Blake, a finance major with a 4.0 grade-point average, earned Scholar All-American accolades for the second time. On the mat, he had a 31-4 record this season and is 44-9 in his college career.
Lucas is also a finance major with a 4.0 GPA. He finished 30-8 this season.
The Auggies claimed a school-record 17 individual Scholar All-Americans, the most among NCAA Division III teams nationally. Augsburg was 12th place in the academic team race, with a team grade-point average of 3.605.
Surrey is next
Heron Lake native Hobie Hedquist and the Alberni Valley Bulldogs will take on the Surrey Eagles in the semifinals of the British Columbia Hockey League Coastal Conference Playoffs.
Alberni Valley is the number three seed and Surrey is seeded second, so the Eagles will have home ice advantage in the best-of-seven series.
The full schedule has not been announced.
Hedquist played every minute in the Bulldogs quarterfinal sweep of Victoria.
ICYMI, here’s the newsletter about that:
This may be the most interesting four minutes of local television ever. It’s in Los Angeles and from the 1970s, so it’s going to be a little different anyway.
This is from the 1975 Easter Seals Telethon on KTTV-TV.
Included in that clip are Adrienne Barbeau, Marty Allen, Peter Falk, John Cassavettes, Ben Gazzara, Seymour Cassel, and Charo. And there may have been more.
