Griggs/Midkota took two defeats during last week's worth of volleyball matches, falling in three sets to Hatton-Northwood in a nonregion contest and dropping a District 5 outing with Ellendale. In the loss to the Thunder on October 6 (19-25, 15-25, 18-25), Asia Becherl led the Titans with eight kills and two aces. At the net, Lauryn Halvorson stopped two attacks for blocks, and also finished with four kills and eight digs. Andie Anderson paced the back passers with 12 digs, and Ryan Johnson had...
It wasn't the five-set marathon that these two evenly-matched programs have been accustomed to playing over the last few years, but the Carrington Cardinals and Oakes Tornadoes met up for some hotly-contested tension at the nets in Tornado Alley Tuesday night, October 11. The Cards fell in four games to the Tornadoes, 21-25, 25-15, 19-25 and 18-25, giving Oakes (5-1 District 5) the number two seed for the upcoming District 5 Volleyball Tournament at Barnes County North in Leal October 27, 28 and...
The Carrington High School and junior high music departments, all under the direction of Mrs. Kristina Schuh, performed in front of a big audience at the West Gym Thursday, October 6. Highlights from the event are pictured here....
North Dakota, when you think about it, is essentially one big small town spread out over 70,704 square miles. And for the necessities of everyday life, neighbors are always willing to make life on the prairies and rolling fields easier for each other when one runs into difficulty. David Young, who farms five miles south of Sykeston with his wife, Gina, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic adenocarcinoma in his liver and bone on July 27. Their daughter, Emily, said that the primary...
It took a few relocations and different job descriptions along the way, but once Linda Lemer decided to put down roots, she settled in for the long haul. And 40 years later, she's now ready to take on the next challenges and adventures in her life with her husband, Joel. Lemer is retiring from the Chieftain Conference Center's front desk, having put in her four full decades of service exactly on October 3. "There have been a lot of good employees here, along with meeting great guests from...
Griggs/Midkota laced up their cleats to take on the 9B Region 2 co-leaders, the Maple River (Hope-Page/Maple Valley) Raiders, in Hope on Friday, September 30. The Raiders kept their undefeated mark in the region intact with a 40-8 win over the Titans, and set up a titanic showdown with the May-Port-CG Patriots for the Region 2 title this past Friday in Mayville.

Playing in the largest and most prestigious Class B tournament of the season, the Carrington Cardinals made a strong two-day showing at the Des Lacs-Burlington Laker Invitational September 30-October 1. On the first day of play in Pool D, the Cards took a split-set win on overall points against Powers Lake, 47-39 (22-25 and 25-14), and defeated Rugby in two sets, 25-22 and 25-21.

Carrington's experience shone through in a pair of straight-set wins over Benson County in Maddock and Barnes County North in the East Gym in matches played September 29 and October 4. The Cards took on a very-green Benson County team as part of a non-region match, as the Wildcats' starting lineup consists mostly of freshmen and sophomores, and one senior in the mix. CHS took a 25-16, 25-6 and 25-10 win in that game, and nine different players had kills, paced by Haley Wolsky's nine. The senior...
Medina/Pingree-Buchanan, playing very well as of late, hasn't quite had that string of success translate to league matches. An 0-2 start to the District 6 season meant the Thunder were in need of some positive vibes heading into the second part of the slate. They would do that, taking a three-set win against the Kidder County Wolves in Medina on September 29, and were pushed to the brink for a 15-13 squeaker in the deciding set five for a big 3-2 triumph on the road over the...
For 28 years running, the Panther Booster Invitational in Rugby has been home to one of the biggest Class B meets of the cross country fall season. Carrington, Griggs/Midkota and HWC were the local teams in attendance for the meet, which brought in 27 girls’ teams and 30 boys’ teams to the heart of America. Cardinal senior Baylee Lura finished 31st overall (22:07.83) out of 110 runners in the girls’ race to lead Carrington’s contingent. Down the table, Macy Fiebiger was 61st in 23:40.7...

As the third team qualifier out of the loaded Region 2, Carrington's expectations vacillated between no pressure, and anxiousness from one particular golfer to show her mettle among the state's best. By that measure, the 2022 State Class B Girls Golf Tournament, held at Minot's Souris Valley Golf Course, ended up being a good showing for the Cards, with an eighth place team score of 784. Leading the charge for CHS was junior Kacie Rexin, with her two-day total of 160 tying her for fourth place...
The Carrington cross country teams were on area courses for meets in Larimore on September 20 and Langdon last Monday, September 26. In Larimore, the Cards had one top-10 finisher, Baylee Lura, who took ninth place in the girls’ varsity race in 22:41.39. Other CHS girls’ runners included Macy Fiebiger (17th place, 23:49.25), Kaylin Pate (30th, 25:44.38) and Molly Fiebiger (40th, 26:24).

Big plays, sustained drives, stingy defense and clean play, along with the pageantry and excitement of Homecoming Week, all added up to a big victory for Carrington Friday night, September 23. In what was easily their best game of the fall six weeks in, the Cards took home a 28-6 win over the Park River Area Aggies, improved to 2-4 and suddenly are squarely in the Region 2 playoff conversation. Head Coach Kyle Smith couldn't have been any happier with how his team rose to the challenge. "It's...
With their starting setter busy lighting the State B golf world on fire (see related article on page 7), Carrington had a few early struggles getting consistent offense Tuesday night, September 27, against Ellendale. Even without the services of Kacie Rexin, Isabel Wendel filled in very capably in her stead with 30 assists, and the local Cardinals took a four-set win, 19-25, 25-10, 25-15 and 25-22 in the East Gym. In set one, the Cards had difficulty with Ellendale's height, led by middle...
M-P-B took their 11th victory of the season with a three-set win in Wilton over Wilton-Wing (25-14, 25-11 and 25-21), but the two-time defending Region 3 and Class B champions, Linton-HMB, stopped the Thunder in their tracks five nights later. Behind big kill nights from Maddie Gefroh (11) and Allison Thomas (10), the Thunder took a quick win in the non-region battle with the Region 5 Miners. Serving stars included Kalen Kinzell and Brynn Sorenson, each with three aces. Gefroh also had two...
Sometimes, the records don't lie. The May-Port-CG Patriots have mostly rolled through the first half of their season schedule on the volleyball court, and their three losses this season have come to top-ranked and undefeated Northern Cass (twice) and two-time defending state champion Linton-HMB. So, the Patriots took on the Griggs/Midkota Titans at their alternate home in the Finley-Sharon gym, and showed why they could challenge for a state berth out of Region 2 with a quick 7-25, 10-25 and...

Not so long ago, when the old Stadium '76 bleacher section still stood, the Grafton Spoilers got two late scores in rapid succession to prevent a Carrington win. This year, with both programs now mired at the bottom of the Region 2 table, it was the Cardinals' turn to return the favor. After watching the Spoilers come back from a 14-point deficit to tie the score in the final minutes, CHS broke the deadlock, then got an emphatic interception return for a score to seal their first win of the 2022...
Good feelings, which have been in short supply thus far for the Griggs/Midkota Titan football program, rose to the surface following a 24-0 blanking over the Enderlin Eagles Friday, September 16, to give G-M their first win this season. In fact, it was the Titans' first victory in a 12-game span, dating back to October 16, 2020, when they defeated Finley-Sharon-Hope-Page, 26-22, in the final week of that season. Titan sophomore quarterback Brady Haugen scored all three touchdowns. He scored...
For New Rockford-Sheyenne's Homecoming 2022, the Rockets hosted Carrington on Thursday, September 15, and the two historical rivals gave the paying customers in the NR-S Gym a great show. With the recent rotation change, the Rockets thought they would finally have the chance to beat the Cardinals. But to no avail, the Rockets just couldn't defeat them, falling in a five-set epic to the Cards, 26-24, 25-20, 23-25, 15-25 and 11-15. Before the start of the game, varsity players from both NR-S and...
Medina/Pingree-Buchanan played some of their best volleyball of the season over the span of a few Saturday hours, and brought home some shiny medals as a result of it.

M-P-B's lone loss in the six matches came to unbeaten Northern Cass in the championship, by a very respectable final tally of 25-20 in both sets. On their way to the finals, M-...
