A wiffleball tournament/home run derby benefit for 14-year-old Zach Netten is planned this weekend.
Woodbury resident Leah Schulte said her family has good insurance. They didn’t need any help. Her fellow youth baseball parents didn’t listen. This weekend, hundreds of people will come together for a benefit for her son, Zach Netten, who was diagnosed at the outset of the school year with Hodgkin lymphoma. “They insisted (on a benefit),” Schulte said. “We’re all kind of like family.” Zach, 14, had a persistent cough going back to last summer. He managed to continue pitching with his East Ridge Athletic Association team this summer, but three days into his freshman year at East Ridge High School, Zach’s doctors told him he has cancer. “I kind of started freaking out,” Zach said of the day his father picked him up from school. He had …

A Raptor win increases the team’s chances of their first-ever Suburban East Conference football championship.
If East Ridge can keep their close-game magic going tonight at home against Stillwater, the Raptors could have two firsts this season. They will have beaten Stillwater for their first time in school history. The Ponies beat the Raptors 33-6 in their only meeting last year. In addition, a Raptor win increases the team’s chances of their first-ever Suburban East Conference football championship. The Raptors finished second in 2010 when they went 7-3 overall. A possible title run became more realistic when the Ponies stunned the once unbeaten Mounds View Mustangs last week, 17-14. It leaves a three-way tie for first with Mounds View, Stillwater and White Bear Lake sitting at 4-1. The Mustangs and Bears face each other tonight. That leave only…
