Brophy returning to state

The first Saturday in November is here - and as usual Ely’s Molly Brophy will be in the Twin Cities.

That’s the site of the state high school girls cross country meet, and the Ely junior has qualified for a fifth consecutive year.

Brophy punched her return ticket Oct. 23 at Coleraine, where she placed sixth at the Section 7A girls competition on the Eagle Ridge Golf Course.
