• Moorhead Football Powers Past Minnetonka, Improves to 3-0 (valleynewslive.com) — Minnetonka High School's football team fell 42-28 on the road to Moorhead, despite an early clock-chewing drive that ended in a costly turnover. Moorhead capitalized quickly and built a 20-0 first-half lead behind quarterback Jett Feeney and receiver David Mack. Minnetonka fans can take heart that the Skippers still moved the ball and kept battling to the end.
   

• Fitch Affirms COMM 2014-CCRE20, COMM 2015-LC19 and COMM 2015-CCRE22 (fitchratings.com) — A major commercial mortgage-backed security tied to UnitedHealth Group's former headquarters tower in Minnetonka is under stress after the company vacated the building and the loan went to special servicing. A receiver has signed a new federal tenant for about a fifth of the space while foreclosure and a potential sale are being evaluated. Local readers should note this could influence future use and stability of a prominent Minnetonka office property.
