Saints take meet from Panthers’ gymnasts in season opener

Submitted by admin on Wed, 12/11/2019 - 2:40pm

Jakob Kounkel

The Panthers’ gymnasts fell in their first meet of the season against St. Peter Tuesday, Dec. 3, by a score of 128.625 to 120.075. The meet was at Gustavus Adolphus College.
A difference of just eight points isn’t a significant swing in favor of the Saints, but a talented and experienced St. Peter group, headed by the same coach that mentored GSL Head Coach Kim Hahn in high school, ended up being too much for the Panthers.

The Panthers’ girls basketball team dropped its first game against St. Peter Tuesday, Dec. 3, but head coach Jeff Monahan wasn’t losing any sleep over the loss.
Monahan didn’t show much displeasure with an 0-1 record, firstly, because it was the Panthers’ first game of the season. First-game nerves, kinks and excitement can get in the way of a game running smoothly. It’s difficult to replicate a game atmosphere in practice, Monahan said.

Even though the chairman of the Glencoe Park Board made it clear Jim Eiden was not the board’s preferred candidate to fill a vacancy, Eiden still wants to serve the community on the advisory board.
Eiden decided he’d accept the five-year appointment Thursday morning, Dec. 5, after a telephone call with Park Board Chairman Mike Long.
“If you’d have asked me that half an hour ago, I’d have said ‘no’,” Eiden said.
Eiden watched a replay of the Dec. 2 meeting online and heard Long tell the city council Kevin Dietz was the park board’s preferred candidate to fill a vacancy on the board.
