The Willmar Cardinals have flown to new heights under coach Jon Konold, a Minneota native. It had been 30 years since a Willmar football team had qualified for a state tournament.
Unfortunately, Minneota didn't make it to the state tournament in football this year. But a Minneota connection did.
Jon Opdahl, 55, of Minneota, died on Tuesday, October 31, 2017, at his residence in Minneota. Mass of Christian Burial for Jon will be at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, November 7, at St.
A Minneota area farmer, Jon Buysse, suffered a chest injury while working on a truck on Tuesday.
He was flown by helicopter to a Twin Cities hospital for treatment.
