They obviously figured things out in a hurry.
Mark Thompson and Jerry Messer of Sauk Centre, Mn. skyrocketed from 50th place last year to the top of the heap on Saturday, capturing the 19th-annual Rainy River Walleye Tournament title—and the $15,000 first-place cheque—with a two-day total of 24.98 pounds.
Hunter Buzzi (96) had to be careful to avoid colliding with Lakers' teammate Damien Caringi (11) during the first period of the team's 5-4 shootout loss to the Thief River Falls Norskies in the SIJHL regular-season opener Friday night at the Ice For Kids Arena.

Kendyn Faragher's main rival is coached by none other than someone of his own kin.
But while his relative's protégé surpassed Faragher individually, the Muskie golfer can comfort himself with the fact he's the top player on what is now the best boys' team in NorWOSSA for the second-straight season.
