Perhaps playing in her final Glen Evans Classic motivated Troup’s Qhenja Jordan to excel Friday morning. The senior logged a double-double (18 points, 12 rebounds) to guide the Lady Tigers to a 41-29 victory over Cayuga in the Lady Tigers’ opening game in the two day event that is being held at Tiger Gymnasium. Ahead 32-24 to start the final quarter, Troup received a corner trey from ZaQuirah Jordan and a deuce off the hand of Jakeira Davis to move in front by 13 points, 37-24, with 5:03 left to play. That margin proved to be insurmountable for Cayuga (14-5). The Lady Tigers, who are ranked No. 13 in Class 3A, improved to 15-3 as a result of the triumph. Following a lay up by ZaQuirah Jordan, that came off a Cayuga turnover, the Lady Tigers held their biggest lead of the game, 41-26, which came with 2:10 left in the fray. ZaQuirah Jordan added seven points for the Lady Tigers, while Amari Shepard and Davis pitched in six apiece. The Lady Tigers, who have now won nine games in-a-row, will take on Alto at 6:15 p.m. Friday.

OTTAWA — A Canadian criminologist who once worked on inland immigration enforcement for the Canada Border Services Agency said Canada needs to better track foreign nationals who arrive in the country on student visas. Kelly Sundberg, a professor at Mount Royal University, said he was not shocked to hear that Indian law enforcement agencies are investigating links between Canadian colleges and a scheme to ferry international students across the Canada-U. S. border. "I'm not surprised that our ridiculous honour-based immigration program is being gamed by transnational criminals. That doesn't surprise me at all," Sundberg said. India's Enforcement Directorate said on Tuesday it had uncovered evidence of human trafficking after launching an investigation on the Indian connections the deaths of Jagdish and Vaishali Patel and their two children in January 2022. The Indian family was found dead from the cold near the Manitoba-Minnesota border and last month an American and an Indian man were convicted of bringing unauthorized people into the U.S. and profiting from it. The Indian agency says it has evidence that an Indian national allegedly arranged for people to get admissions to Canadian colleges in order to get a student visa for Canada, intending to then cross into the U.S. with no plan to actually study in Canada. The RCMP said in a statement that it is aware of the Indian statement and have reached out through the country's international police liaison to get more information on the investigation. The RCMP said it would have no further comment. The federal government deferred comment to the RCMP. The allegations have not been proven in court and India has not identified the Canadian colleges allegedly involved. Colleges and Institutes Canada said they do not have information on the nature of colleges linked to these allegations, and are committed to helping ensure student safety and the integrity of the immigration system. Sundberg said having a means to track when and how temporary residents, including international students, leave the country would reduce vulnerabilities in the system. "When I was an immigration officer, I saw this playing out 17, 20 years ago. So it hasn't changed," Sundberg said. "What it takes is the government has to enforce the laws it has. It needs to start collecting the bio data, so the photos and the fingerprints of every non-citizen crossing our border and have a process to confirm their departure. We need to tie documents with the biometrics." Sundberg said he'd be "very surprised" if reputable post-secondary institutions were part of these allegations. Instead, he suspects colleges set up in strip malls. These types of schools have been a focus in Canada's student visa reforms, with Immigration Minister Marc Miller calling them the diploma equivalent of puppy mills. These latest allegations land as Canada is making major changes to its immigration system, including significant cutbacks on the number of student visas it issues. At an immigration committee meeting last month, the Conservatives asked how Canada tracks international students if they leave the country. At that committee hearing, Miller said the vast majority of people on temporary visas, including students, leave once their visa expires. He said there is work to do to curb asylum claims from international students. The problem of people crossing into the U.S. illegally has also become a thorn in the Canada-U.S. relationship ahead of the return of Donald Trump as president next month. Trump has threatened steep tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada doesn't do more to end illegal border crossings and the flow of illegal drugs into the United States.

Chris Jackman Launches Personal Blog to Explore Legal Insights and Inspire the Next Generation of LawyersMaybe 15 minutes before the Wild hosted and defeated the Nashville Predators on Saturday, general manager Bill Guerin took a few minutes to talk to the media about his first noteworthy acquisition of the season—the trade with Columbus, which will bring David Jiricek to the State of Hockey in the first few days of December. ADVERTISEMENT Maybe it’s just the pessimistic nature of a fanbase that hasn’t seen a men’s professional team play for a championship in more than three decades, but the grumbling had begun even before the collected media had reached the press box for Saturday’s game. “Seems like a lot to pay for a minor-leaguer,” was one of the comments overheard at the rink on Saturday. Indeed, to get Jiricek – the sixth overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft – and a lower-round pick, Guerin surrendered defenseman Daemon Hunt and four draft picks, including Minnesota’s 2025 first-rounder and a second round pick in 2027. He wasted no time in getting an up-close look at the new guy, calling Jiricek up to the NHL level on Sunday, and sending former Gophers forward Travis Boyd back down to Iowa. Guerin and Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell are old friends from their time working together with the Pittsburgh Penguins. But there was no discount offered from Waddell to his old pal in Minnesota. “It took awhile. Donny,” Guerin said with an exasperated grin. “He played with me. He’s one of my old mentors. He made me work for it. He’s the best.” ADVERTISEMENT Still, Guerin would not have pulled the trigger had he not believed in two things: 1) The Wild can turn all of Jiricek’s size (6-foot-4) and potential into another piece of their bright future on the blue line. 2) The price they paid was not as steep as it might look on the surface. To that second point, consider that Hunt was not really part of the Wild’s NHL-level defensive picture, even at a time like this when Jonas Brodin’s long-term viability is a serious question mark. And after getting two points with an overtime win over the Predators on Saturday, the Wild were tied for the most points in the NHL, meaning that at this pace, that 2025 first-round draft pick is going to come in the 25th spot or later. If the Wild go into a tailspin this season, the pick sent to Columbus is lottery protected, meaning the Blue Jackets will not get to pick in the top 10 at the Wild’s expense. ADVERTISEMENT To the first point, Jiricek is a player Guerin and his assistants have had their eye on for some time, even before he was named the top defenseman in the tournament while playing for Czechia in the 2023 World Juniors. “He’s not 30, he’s not a rental. He’s a 21-year-old defenseman that we can invest in. And we did. That’s how I look at it. It’s an investment,” Guerin said. In 2022, the Wild grabbed Liam Ohgren with the 19th overall pick, more than a dozen selections after Jiricek was picked by Columbus and was posing for pictures in a new red-white-and-blue sweater. ADVERTISEMENT “He was somebody that we really liked (during) his draft year. We knew we weren’t going to get him, but we liked him,” Guerin said. “And, you know, when this became available, I did my due diligence and asked our staff what they thought. They were all on board with it. So it’s good.” Perhaps in hopes of getting the fans on board, Guerin also stressed patience. Jiricek has not yet been a star in the NHL, despite his high draft stock. But the Wild are confident that their system of developing players — especially defensemen — is the change the new guy needs. “He’s a young player. He’s got a lot to learn. He’s going to continue to improve, just like all young players,” Guerin said, name-dropping two youthful every-night members of the Wild roster who still have ample room to grow. “Brock Faber’s got to get better. Matt Boldy’s still going to get better. All these guys are going to continue to improve because they’re so young. So just because they’re in the NHL doesn’t mean they’re not going to develop their game and get better. That’s our job as the coaches, management. That’s our job to help him get better.” If he has to spend some future draft capital to put those pieces in place, that is clearly a chance Guerin is willing to take.
