Your move, Frank Serratore. Over the last few days, the outspoken Air Force coach has become the unofficial mascot as Greenway-Nashwauk-Keewatin has made an unlikely run Saturday’s championship game of the Class A boys state tournament. No matter what the Raiders do, it’s almost always followed by an immediate pan to the stands to reveal Serratore, who hails from the Greenway area. “He’s been outstanding,” coach Grant Clafton said. “He sent the kids each a letter to show his proudness for how hard they’ve worked. He was going to come and talk to the kids and definitely wanted to and was going to do it before our Wednesday game and I think he had some travel issues. I’ll be reaching out to him.” Its a good bet Serratore will chat with Greenway-Nashwauk-Keewatin at some point before it takes on St. Cloud Cathedral in the championship game. “It’s definitely crazy to see all the people that come out to support,” senior winger Donte Lawson said. “I didn’t know we had that many people in Greenway, to be honest.” They don’t. That’s kind of the point. “We know playing on the Iron Range is a huge tradition and the really unique thing about it is we aren’t only playing for Greenway,” Clafton said. “We are representing Virginia and Eveleth and International Falls and Hibbing and all those schools. There’s a lot of pride in that.” That was easy to see simply by looking at the crowd from Friday’s semifinal between Greenway and Mahtomedi. Even though the Raiders hail from more than 200 miles away from the Twin Cities, the Iron Range came out in full force to support. “These kids have brought back some of those memories from back in the day on the Iron Range,” said Greenway legend Mike Antonovich, who won a pair of state championships in 1967 and 1968. “They are really representing the whole Iron Range and that’s a good thing for them. It’s a lot bigger than just Greenway. Everyone from up there is rooting for them right now.” LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON Blaine senior forward Bryce Brodzinski entered Friday’s Class 2A state semifinals with 36 goals this season. No. 36 came in the first period of the Bengals’ 4-2 quarter win over White Bear Lake on Thursday, a laser from the left circle. That type of shot is one of the many reasons Brodzinski, a Gophers commit and Mr. Hockey finalist, is so difficult for defenses to stop. The secret? Repetition. Brodzinski’s father, Mike, runs the Brodzinski Shooting School in Blaine. “So every day during the summer I have to go down there and help him out with it,” Bryce said this week. “He puts me through all of his drills. I think shooting 200 pucks every single day during that summer helps.” Clearly. It’s a time-tested regimen that’s benefitted each of Bryce’s three older brothers, Jonny, Michael and Easton. Each of the three has played major Division I college hockey, and Jonny has played in the National Hockey League. Which of the four Brodzinski brothers has the best shot? “We are all pretty close. Jonny is up there. He’s got a cannon,” said Bryce, the youngest. “My dad has his sneaky old power that he always pulls out somehow.” Bryce said each of his brothers reached out to him with messages about how to approach this week’s state tournament. “(They) told me to cherish the moment and have a lot of fun and don’t worry about it too much,” he said. “Just play like it’s every other game.”<doc-sep>Sorry - The Page You are Looking for Doesn't Exist We can't seem to find the page you are looking for.
