CHS had a golden opportunity for their first win of the season go by the wayside in the opener of the Carrington Shootout, as they dropped a 66-63 overtime heartbreaker to the Nedrose Cardinals. The next day, Stanley took control from the outset and sent the hometown Cards to their sixth straight defeat to begin the season, 62-28. Junior guard Josh Bickett gave Carrington a chance with 27 points, including six in the extra session. Ten points each were scored by Ryder Bickett and Grady Shipman,...
Carrington had one of their most impressive three-game stretches shooting from the perimeter in a sweep over Hazen (71-38) and Stanley (64-28) at their home Shootout, and taking a 72-60 win over Valley City last Tuesday night at the Hi-Liner Activity Center. In both of their Shootout wins, the Cards dialed long distance for eight threes, but that was small potatoes compared to what was in store for the Hi-Liners. Coach Andy Braaten's squad finished with 12 trifectas as they took down a...
It wasn't pretty or efficient at times, but the Griggs/Midkota Titans found their stride in the second half to take a 57-50 win over the Nelson County Chargers Tuesday night, January 2, in Glenfield. The game was the first District 4 contest for both the 5-4 Titans and 2-8 Chargers, and G-M had issues shooting and defending in the first half as they trailed at the break, 27-23. It took a big fourth quarter for G-M, keyed by nine free throws in crunch time and six field goals, to overtake a...

With steady growth in the first four years of its existence and the need for more space to serve the talents of area tumblers, the Carrington Gymnastics Club (CGC) is on the move once again. The club will now occupy its third different location, as founder/owner Tammy Sorensen has purchased the former parts building of the High Plains Equipment dealership at 6719 Highway 200 for the organization’s new home. Sorensen said her team has been in action at local meets since beginning practice session...

Out in Rugby, the Carrington Cardinal girls basketball team brought out their hard hats and lunch pails, and did some work on defense.

The East Gym was the site for a double triangular dual, featuring both the Carrington boys and girls wrestling teams. The Lisbon Broncos took on both squads, with the Cardinal boys falling in a 54-21 decision and the girls coming out on top, 48-30. Velva took on the CHS boys in the nightcap and sent the Cards to defeat, 49-12.

Carrington’s wrestlers made a run for the southerly portion of the state for two separate tournaments the weekend of December 15-16.

Like store sales, 2-for-1 deals are always popular before the holidays. But the results for the Carrington basketball teams in a scheduled twinbill with the Thompson Tommies put the Cardinals in a mood for gift returns. The Division A top-ranked Tommie girls shot lights out in the first quarter with 26 points and rode that wave to a 70-53 win over CHS, and Thompson's boys kept their counterparts from getting an offensive flow going in a 64-35 defeat in the East Gym Thursday night, December 14....
The sign of maturity for an improving team is the ability to make the plays when the opponent, crowd and enormity of the plays down the stretch all conspire to make for a hard time. Griggs/Midkota made the plays to be made in coming back from a 33-28 deficit headed into the fourth quarter, and quieted the Napoleon faithful with a 51-49 win over the N-G-S Imperials Thursday night, December 14. In that period, the play of Kelsey Johnson and several others made all the difference. Johnson had 20...
Medina/Pingree-Buchanan avenged a loss on the girls' side to Griggs/Midkota three days before by taking their first win of the year in Pingree, 48-42, over the Titans Friday night, December 15. The Thunder hit a trio of trifectas in the first quarter to build some distance between themselves and G-M, going up by a six-point margin at 17-11. For the game, the Thunder connected on six long range shots. M-P-B would slowly solidify that lead, growing the advantage to eight at the half and later 11...

Towards the end of last season on the wrestling mat, things were starting to come together for then-CHS sophomore Dru Carr. After several seasons taking his licks as a lightweight grappler for the Cards and learning how to turn losses into wins, Carr had his breakout season in 2022-23 with a sixth-place finish in the old 113-pound weight class at the State B Tournament. He took that confidence into this year's Al Larson Memorial Wrestling Tournament, and won his first-ever weekend event with...
One has to go all the way back to 1981 for the last time Carrington and Devils Lake met on the basketball floor as conference mates. That was the final year of the Northstar Conference, an “island of misfit toys” in the Class A division mostly consisting of lower-enrollment schools too big for the then-larger Class B membership that at one time boasted 32 districts. The Cardinals and Firebirds, previously known as the Satans 42 years ago, resumed pleasantries as Division A members Tuesday nig...
In the switch from two to three divisions in basketball, one subsection of schools was particularly affected, those being the private schools. The long-time Region 5 powers in both boys and girls basketball, Shiloh Christian of northeast Bismarck, were one of those teams placed into the new Division A. And, if the final score of their girls game with Carrington was any indicator, the new intra-divisional rivalries should be tense battles indeed. The Skyhawks clawed back from trailing by seven po...
The Carrington boys had their chances, but were unable to withstand a fourth-quarter surge by the Griggs/Midkota Titans in Glenfield and fell in a 51-41 decision Monday night, December 11. The Cards trailed by merely a 30-28 score into the final eight minutes of play, but G-M wore a path to the foul line and cashed in on their opportunities to secure the win. Much of that was due to the clutch foul shooting from Will Spickler, who hit seven of his eight attempts in the fourth and added a...
The Griggs/Midkota Titans' loss to the Oakes Tornadoes in Cooperstown contained easily-fixable mistakes that could serve the team well if they learn from them. One bad quarter was all it took for the Titans to get behind the eight ball for good in a 43-26 loss on December 7, as a two-point showing for the second quarter allowed the visitors to build a six-point cushion up to 16 at the half. Jessa Spickler had the one field goal in that period, and the Titans had only two free throw attempts...
