September 19th, 2010 Congratulations to Andrew Lange on
being voted the 2010 Ski of the Year. See the
numbers here.
August 24th, 2010
Updated the final statistics
for 2010.
August 23rd, 2010 The Ski's season ended yesterday with an opening
round loss to the New Ulm Brewers. See details
below.
Time to clean up the last three Ski
MVPs. For the games against Avon and Royalton
in the early rounds of the regions the winner was Jason
King. For the region late round games the
winner was Jake Kluver. For the state
tournament game I'm going to go ahead and name Jon
Czech the MVP without a poll. To see the
numbers and read the comments for the past two polls

In other VL news, the Lastrup Lakers stayed alive in the
State Tourney with 10-0 win against the Essig Blue
Jays. They will now face the Luverne
Redbirds Saturday, August 28th at 1:30 pm in Bird
Island.
Added a new poll.
In a final bit of news, this will also end my run as the
webmaster for SobieskiSkis.com. It's been over ten
years since we (my bother and I) started this little
thing on a whim and it's time to hang up the code (I
don't wear spikes). It's been a lot of fun working
on this over the years and what made it fun was seeing
activity on the site and seeing the site grow over the
years to something that no one expected. Over
270,00 page hits on this site and well over 5 million
pages hits on the message board. It was you the
loyal visitors that kept this (and me) going, so THANK
YOU very much to everyone. Whether you visited
the site once, or daily, the fact that you were here
means a lot.
You may be wondering what will happen to the site in the
future? There are still a few updates that I'll
make in the coming days/weeks to update some final
numbers and things. After that I plan to
transition all the code, and files that I have to the
Ski's and they can do with it what they wish. The
message board will stay open, but I will no longer
moderate it as I have in the past.
Once again, thanks to everyone. A special thanks
to Brad Czech for getting me the information each
and every week in a timely manner, so that I could keep
this site as current as possible. The information
may have lagged behind a bit in the past year, but that
was my fault, not Brad's or the Skis.
Congrats to the Skis on a fine season, and good luck in
the future!
