Roseville Area Sports

After a quick stop at its own field for homecoming last week, the Concordia Academy football team is playing visitor again this week. The Beacons travel to Columbia Heights for their final road game of the regular season. 

A 1-3 record isn’t all that impressive but it could be worse for the Roseville Area High School football team if not for its defense.

Following a season-opening victory, things haven’t gone too well for the Concordia Academy football team. The Beacons lost their next two games while scoring only six points.

It is only the third conference match of the season but it already looks like a possible showdown. The Roseville Area High School volleyball team travels to Cretin-Derham Hall on Sept. 27 with first place on the line.

The home crowd didn’t have much to cheer during last year’s Roseville Area High School football season as the Raiders went 0-4 in home games. That has already changed in 2016 and there’s a good chance the Raiders could get on a roll at home.

Following a season-opening victory, the Roseville Area High School volleyball team lost four matches in a row. That’s not something that has happened to the Raiders much in recent seasons but it didn’t put them in panic-mode.

If it seems as though Concordia Academy’s football team hasn’t played a home game in a while, it’s not your imagination. The Beacons played their last two games away from home and do so again this week.

Scoring points was a problem for the Roseville Area High School football team in the first two weeks of the season. It won’t get any easier for the Raiders this week.

Former Roseville Area High School athletic standout Jena Root followed up her high school career by competing in college as a member of the University of St. Thomas women’s swimming and diving team.

Week three wasn’t kind to the Concordia Academy football team in 2015 and the Beacons are out to avoid that same fate this season. Concordia visits Minneapolis Henry on Sept.
