Feb. 3—RED LAKE — Pine River-Backus was not expecting the type of atmosphere it walked into on Tuesday afternoon at Red Lake.

Due to Tuesday's state caucuses, the Minnesota State High School League only permitted games before 6 p.m. statewide. The Red Lake High School boys basketball team agreed with PRB to have the tipoff commence at 2:30 p.m., allowing Red Lake's student body to attend the game.

To say that the crowd was into it would be an understatement.

When the Warrior bench broke out into a "DE-FENSE" chant, it was aided by thunderous stomping in the bleachers. Students would scream before the Tigers shot free throws. Every big Red Lake 3-pointer was met with a deafening roar.

"It was the first time ever in Red Lake history that we got to have a day game in front of the student body," Red Lake head coach Nolan Desjarlait said. "You could see the momentum; it was carrying. They fed off the crowd."

The Warriors were energized by the atmosphere, and the Tigers appeared to be distracted by it. Mental mistakes, along with the Warriors' aggressive defense, led Red Lake to a 73-58 win.

Dominant most of the game, the RLHS defense was put to the test with six minutes left in the second half. Up 64-43, Red Lake's offense went cold, giving the Tigers some life. They went on a 9-0 run, cutting the lead to 12 and gaining confidence.

Desjarlait called timeout with three minutes left, up 64-52. He knew the Tigers could smell blood, so he convened his defense and emphasized staying poised. The message worked, as the Warriors stood tall by getting well-timed steals and crucial rebounds until the clock showed zeroes.

The Warriors like to keep opposing offenses guessing. Defensively, they run man-to-man, 2-3 zone, 1-2-2, full court trap — whatever they feel is needed for the situation.

Opposing offenses never know what to expect from them. Along with the raucous crowd, it helped the Warriors jump out to an early 22-11 run to begin the game, led by junior Austin Perkins.

Perkins scored 18 of the Warriors' first 25 points, including three 3-pointers. He ended the game with 20 points before he fouled out nine minutes into the second half.

"First half, he was unconscious," Desjarlait said. "Just keep feeding the ball, do what he does. Foul trouble will get him; that's his pet peeve. When he gets in foul trouble, the confidence starts to go down a little bit. ... (But) he's our leading scorer. He's closing in on 1,000 points."

"He's fun to have on the team," senior Dimitrius Harris added. "You can depend on him; he can get the job done."

The Warriors took a 42-25 lead into halftime, although they ran into foul trouble before the end of the first half. They committed nine fouls to PRB's four, which they focused on cleaning up by the second half.

"We were gambling too much," Desjarlait said of Red Lake's first-half fouls. "We were just putting our hands in the cookie jars. (If) we played defense the way we should, we would wall up without reaching."

Despite his night being cut short, Perkins led the team in points with 20, followed by Harris with 12.

The win moves RLHS to 9-8 on a season that's been up-and-down. From injuries and illness, Red Lake hasn't had a full, healthy squad as of late. Tuesday afternoon was the first game in weeks that there wasn't anybody out of the lineup.

"It feels pretty good to get a win again," Harris said. "It's a tough team, (and) we got our players back, so that's good. It feels good because now we can play (at our best)."

Hoping their issues with health are behind them, the Warriors look to maintain their strong defense as they ride out the rest of the season. As Desjarlait says, defense is their best offense, and they think they can win more games with that formula.

Red Lake will travel to Northome/Kelliher on Friday before facing rival Cass Lake-Bena on Feb. 10 at home, which could be the game Perkins gets his 1,000th point.

RLHS hopes for more electric atmospheres like it had on Tuesday afternoon. Rattling its opponents with noise is a true homecourt advantage.

"It was a big crowd," Desjarlait said. "They wanted to (put on a) show for their fellow classmates ... and they responded very well."

Boys Basketball

Parker Snedaker, Bingham (Sr.)

Bingham has won five straight and is starting to heat up at the right time, and senior guard Parker Snedaker is a big reason why.

Snedaker has shown his versatility throughout the season as he can impact the game in numerous different ways. He’s averaging 18.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals for the Miners, who face a huge game this Friday against 6A No. 1 Westlake.

“Parker is a great basketball player and an even better person. It is fun to see all of his hard work and dedication pay off this year. He has earned multiple scholarship offers and is expecting a few more as well,” said Bingham coach Parker Snedaker.

“The amount of extra reps he puts in before practice and after as well as in the classroom and the weight room proves his incredible work ethic. Parker is also a tremendous leader both on and off the court.”

His offers so far are from Southwestern Oregon Community College, Wenatchee Community College and Green River Community College.

Girls Basketball

Brynn Wadman, Fremont (Jr.)

Brynn Wadman’s growth has been a big part of Fremont’s success this season as the team owns a 17-2 record heading into the final two weeks of the regular season.

The junior has scored in double figures in six straight games as she’s elevated her scoring average to 9.4 this season. She’s also chipping in with 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals.

“Brynn is a natural scorer who has developed into a complete player for our team. She invests a tremendous amount of time in her game outside of practice, and that dedication and work ethic have driven her growth,” said Fremont coach Lisa Dalebout.

“She’s a strong rebounder, has significantly elevated her defensive play, and is someone we trust in big moments. Her leadership and daily commitment to improvement make her a great player. Brynn loves the game, and it shows every time she steps on the floor.”

The 5-foot-9 guard ranks second on the team with 29 3-pointers this season.

Boys Swimming

Brigham Skinner, Mountain Crest (Sr.)

Brigham Skinner appears to be peaking at the perfect time this season.

The Mountain Crest senior won the 100 backstroke and 200 individual medley at the Region 11 championships last week, and in the process he posted the second-best times in the entire state in those events.

He won the 200 I.M. with a time of 1:55.04 and won the 100 back with a time of 51.24.

“Brigham consistently pushes himself and sets a high standard for those around him. He trains with a strong group of teammates who hold each other accountable every day,” said Mountain Crest coach Brian Kwant.

“As one of our captains, he’s helped establish a culture built on hard work, incremental improvement, and supporting one another’s success . He never shies away from extra work, both in and out of the pool, and we’re grateful for the leadership and example he brings to our program.”

Skinner heads into the 4A state meet next week looking to defending his title as 100 back state champ.

Girls Swimming

Sarah Nielson, Ogden (Sr.)

Sarah Nielson’s performance at the Region 12 championships last week played a big role in Ogden edging Logan to claim the region title.

The senior won both of her individual events and then swam a leg in a pair of Ogden relays as the Tigers won the region title with 426 points.

“As head coach of Ogden High School’s swim team, Sarah Nielson is a selfless leader and captain with rock-solid commitment. Hard work, extra efforts and her drive to improve elevate the whole team. It’s no wonder she’s thriving now and will excel at the next level,” said Ogden coach Kyle Lambson.

Nielson won the 100 butterfly (1:05.34) and the 500 freestyle (6:00.88). Her time in the fly ranks third in 3A this year, and her 500 free time ranks fifth.

Heading into her final state meet next week, Nielson will look to podium again in her both her individual events like last year, and perhaps help Ogden podium in a couple of relays as well.

Boys Wrestling

Ben Kohler, Wasatch (Sr.)

Ben Kohler improved his record to 51-6 last week with another strong showing at the 5A Division B state-qualifying meet.

He’ll be the favorite at the state tournament in 138 pounds to win his third straight individual state title.

“Ben is one of those kids that is a coach’s dream, someone who buys in to every aspect of the program and works his tail off to be the best. He is a no-nonsense guy that just takes care of business both in the classroom and on the mat,” said Wasatch coach Kamron Day.

“He is always in the room getting better and traveling across the country to seek out the best competition. He is a competitor and is always in the fight. His relentless work ethic and mental toughness is always on display, helping him to lead by example every time he steps on the mat. He is always pushing himself in every aspect of his life and is always elevating those around him. Ben’s commitment, accountability, and team-first mindset make him a cornerstone of our program and leader others naturally follow.”

Kohler won all four of his matches at the divisional meet by fall.

Girls Wrestling

Madison Sherman, Skyridge (Sr.)

Madison Sherman enjoyed a dominant performance at the 6A Division B state-qualifying meet last week as she moved one step closer to an individual 3-peat.

Sherman won the 155-pound bracket at Syracuse High School with four pins, including three in the first 30 seconds of matches as she improved to 16-1 on the season.

“Madison is a great wrestler. She is on point to be back in the finals to defend state title. She has overcome some struggles this year but is back in the room committed to winning a third state title. We are excited to see how she performs at the state tournament this year,” said Skyridge coach Brian Bond.

Sherman placed second at state as a freshman and then was a state champion as a sophomore and junior. A year ago Sherman finished with a 33-2 record en route to the state championship.

WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — In their Morgan State college dorm in the mid-1990’s, Daronte Jones and Melvin Coleman stayed busy.

“We did a lot of battles in Madden,” Coleman told DC News Now. “I’d be in the bed asleep it would be a Saturday and [Daronte] would walk and grab the controller and put the controller by my bed and soon I’d wake up and he’d jump back in like I don’t see him and be like, ‘oh so what you calling me out?”

In January, three decades after his Madden battles as a college football player with his roommate, and many professional and college football coaching stops, Jones has been hired as the Washington Commanders new defensive coordinator.

For Jones – it’s a homecoming. He hails from Prince George’s County, where he attended Bishop McNamara high school in Forestville, Maryland.

It’s not just his college friends and teammates who remember the Madden matchups. His good friend and teammate from Bishop McNamara Mike Jones also took part in the legendary video games matchups – though he didn’t know at the time he was facing a defensive mastermind.

“He’s definitely the reason why I stopped playing Madden,” Mike said. “Cause he’s reading all your plays and this was the time when he was early in his coaching career… I’m like dude I’m playing for leisure.”

During his college career, Daronte suffered a neck injury that kept him off the field. Coleman said Daronte would spend more time in the play calling booth during games and was earning a bigger grasp of the game. He said it showed in Madden too.

“That kind of helped us being coaches and our playing careers were done,” Coleman said. “We learned how to think on the run, think quick, make adjustments quick.”

You could call Daronte’s coaching career the Daronte Jones World Tour.

It started in 2001 as a graduate assistant at Division II Lenoir-Rhyne. Coleman said Daronte conducted an interview with the school before they went on their spring break trip senior year. The following years took Jones to Nicholls State (then Division I-AA) as safeties coach, defensive coordinator jobs at high schools in Louisiana and his first return to the DMV where he served as Bowie State’s assistant head coach and defensive coordinator from 2005 to 2009.

Jones bounced around more after that. He was cornerbacks coach at UCLA in 2010, defensive backs coach for the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League in 2011, Hawaii’s secondary coach in 2012-14 and Wisconsin’s defensive backs coach in 2015.

Then, Jones made the jump to the NFL — first as the Miami Dolphins assistant defensive backs coach, then the Cincinnati Bengals cornerbacks coach, then the Minnesota Vikings defensive backs coach. After a brief stint as LSU’s defensive coordinator in 2021 where he coached star cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., Jones returned to the Vikings, where he stayed until this offseason.

“For most people who think that this is a person who’s coming out of nowhere, that’s not true,” Mike Jones said. “This guy has been grinding close to over 20 years. He’s been grinding and getting information from the best minds in football.”

For Mike and Coleman, watching Daronte flourish in the football world has been meaningful, but they’ve also seen his growth as a coach.

“Secondary wise, pass defense wise, everywhere he’s gone they’ve gotten better,” Coleman, who is now the safeties coach at Morgan State said. “Somebody is doing well, somebody is probably making the pro bowl. Somebody is probably making all-conference. So the proof is in the work.”

Since 2023, Daronte had worked directly under Brian Flores in Minnesota. Coleman said that Daronte’s coaching influences and style comes from several different legendary coaching trees.

“With him being around [Vic] Fangio, Marvin Lewis, [Mike] Zimmer, Vance Joseph and now Flores,” Coleman said. “He’s got a lot work from them. He got a lot of tape to take from them.”

In recent seasons, with Daronte serving as the team’s defensive backs coach and pass game coordinator, the Vikings’ defense has played aggressively, focusing on trying to force turnovers and blitzing at some of the highest rates in the NFL.

Daronte’s high school teammate Mike Jones, who is now a counselor at Bishop McNamara says the way he played was pretty similar to how his defenses play.

“He was always in the right spot… When we look at those old films when we get together, he pops on film,” Mike said. “He’s always going all out.”

Mike said Daronte earned the nickname “Crow” because “he made crow sounds in the backfield.”

“He would make these crow sounds like he’s lurking in the secondary,” Mike said. “He would take on the biggest person on the team in practice even though he was gonna get knocked down… He’s not scared.”

According to his friends, Daronte’s days at McNamara mean a lot to him. Several years ago, Daronte donated to the Bishop McNamara football program. His contributions provide student athletes with scholarship assistance. Daronte’s name is now etched on a plaque in the McNamara locker room, noted him as a 1996 graduate and that year’s male athlete of the year. Daronte played football, wrestling and track & field at McNamara.

“He’s been able to come back and give back to the community itself in terms of the program and the school,” Bishop McNamara football head coach Greg Calhoun said. “But he’s also been able to take advantage of the opportunities to give back.”

Calhoun told DC News Now that he referenced Daronte as inspiration and motivation for his players and as an example to potential recruits.

“I actually just had a set of recruits come through and we just showed his locker again as we always do,” Calhoun said. “A lot of great coaches out here in the world but for him to be selected for that job and that opportunity in this community, is huge.”

Bishop McNamara plays in one of, if not the best high school football conferences in the country, the WCAC. The Mustangs last won a WCAC championship in 1990. Since, the conference has been dominated by blue blood programs DeMatha, Gonzaga, St. John’s and Good Counsel.

But in 2025, months before Daronte being hired by the Commanders, a few seasons into his tenure in Forestville, Calhoun helped his team take a massive step forward. The Mustangs beat their rival Gonzaga, 21-0 on October 11. Gonzaga was the eventual WCAC runners-up.

The following week, McNamara fell just short to eventual undefeated WCAC champion DeMatha, 12-7. They were one of two teams to come within five points or less of the Stags all season long. It was also DeMatha’s second lowest scoring output of the season.

“We’re not always the first names mentioned in that league,” Mike said. “Now we have something that we can definitely hang our hat on in conversations… Now we have the defensive coordinator of our local team.”

Calhoun believes that an esteemed alum calling plays down the road, could further fuel his players.

“Just knowing that you have somebody of that magnitude at that level kind of puts that pressure on you obviously as the current student in that process, just letting you know you have some big shoes to fill,” Calhoun told DC News Now. “You have some expectations, you have some standards and that’s something that we work to build here in this process and our guys take pride and value in that.”

And while Daronte rises in the football coaching ranks, he’s still a boy from Prince George’s County, Maryland.

“I know growing up, everybody was like DC, DC, DC, but now it’s like PG County,” Coleman said. “We’ve got players, we’ve got ballers, we’ve got good thinkers and I think it’s just you’re proud to represent where you’re from.”

As for what Commanders fans should expects going forward, Coleman said Daronte is “a guy that’s going to be on a mission to be great. To not lose.”

Jan. 31—FOREST LAKE — The power play was a strength for Forest Lake Saturday afternoon against the Bemidji High School boys hockey team, going 3-for-4.

Even strength, not so much.

Despite their penalty kill woes, the Lumberjacks defeated the Rangers 6-3 off the back of Taveon Welle's hat trick.

The Jacks would jump out to a 2-0 lead after first period goals from Quinn Niemi and Welle. After the Rangers scored two power play goals in the first minute and a half of the second period to tie it, Welle would score another for his second of the game, leading 3-2.

Welle and Nathan Valley would assist a Griffin Dewar power play goal late in the second period to enter the final frame up 4-2.

Welle would get his hat trick five minutes in the the third period. Forest Lake would score another power play goal to make it 5-3, but Dewar would score an insurance goal with less than three minutes remaining to clinch the 6-3 win for the Jacks.
