Two devastating Class A – Region 2 losses by three total points didn't afford the Carrington Cardinal football team a wealth of time to feel sorry for their predicament. The bus ride up Highway 281 stopped in Belcourt for a matchup with former Class AA league opponent Turtle Mountain, and the Cards hoped the newly-installed turf would allow their team speed to take over. CHS got back into the playoff conversation with a 42-16 win over the Braves, on another big offensive performance netting j...
It was a party 18 years in the making. The Griggs/Midkota Titans broke a long playoff drought dating back all the way to 2006 with a 48-20 victory over the Enderlin Eagles at Hendrickson Field in Enderlin to earn the 9-Man – Region 2 crown. The Titans (4-2, 3-0 Region 2) have just one game left on their conference obligations, as they played Richland on the road this past Friday. G/M will finish the regular season in Cooperstown October 11 against Tri-State (Fairmount/Campbell-Tintah, M...
While Ellendale's height and back row play caused problems at times for the Carrington Cardinals, in the end, CHS came away with a four-set win Tuesday, October 1, in the East Gym.

Sophomore Harper Kollman led the way with 12 kills, followed by Isabel Wendel's 11 and 10 more by Calleigh Hewitt. Ellendale was aggressive against the Carrington block, and though they found the floor on...
The Griggs/Midkota volleyball team had almost every scenario a squad could possibly face over a week's worth of action. A humbling defeat (a 3-0 loss to a strong May-Port-CG team in Finley on September 26) was followed by a convincing four-set win over Nelson County in McVille September 30 and a stirring five-set triumph against South Border at GCCHS the next night improved the Titans' record to 9-11 this season. Against the Patriots, G/M Coach Presley Paintner said her team gave away too many f...

One of the biggest meets in which they'll ever participate, in fact, one so big they have an on-site caterer, faced local runners at the Border Battle in Grand Forks Saturday, September 28. CHS and Griggs/Midkota were among 2,100 runners in the field at the meet, and one Cardinal and Titan finished in the top 25.

The 2018 edition of JunkFest in Carrington was witness to the debut of what has become one of the city's most popular vendors for that first infusion of caffeine for the day. Starting that year, the Happy Camper was parked at the sale entrance, with owner Brittany Fiebiger making a lasting impression on the taste buds of antique shoppers everywhere. The cozy titular camper was purchased several months beforehand, and gutted and painted with new walls and supports to take on its new role. With... Full story

Ed Dankbar, Director of Emergency Management and Hazmat Response with...
Circumstances can turn on a dime in the span of two weeks. Two weeks previously, the Carrington football team was riding high following a convincing win over Grafton to improve to 3-0. But an overtime defeat to the rival HWC Hornets by one point, 28-27, meant the Cardinals needed to regroup and quickly against another hungry Park River Area squad. On the strength of big games on the ground by Tucker Omdahl and Brennan Schramm, and timely passing by the Aggies' Jace Rosinski, Carrington's strong...
You could say that the Griggs/Midkota Titans' 30-6 GCC Homecoming victory Friday, Sept. 20, over the May-Port-CG Patriots was a bit of karmic retribution for the last game the two teams played in 2022. In a 49-0 loss that year, the Titans were trailing MPCG by 37 with under a half minute remaining in the first half off a fumble deep in Patriot territory, when the opponents decided to resort to a hook-and-ladder play for a 76-yard touchdown for one last insult. G/M Coach (and Portland native)...
Although the New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets and the Carrington Cardinals are in different regions, the rivalry is still aflame. On Thursday, Sept. 19, the Rockets hosted the rivals to the south during the Cardinals' homecoming week, in hopes of being named the homecoming crushers once again. After three games, the Rockets were still working out their kinks and trying to get a good rotation locked in. With that, NR-S senior Tillie Swart made her varsity debut during the second and third sets...
The Medina/Pingree-Buchanan Thunder volleyball team showed their mettle as a Region 3 contender with solid showings in a two-match split September 19 and 21. In Pingree, M/P-B didn't let a first set loss to LaMoure/Litchville-Marion faze them, as they bounced back from that three-point defeat with 25-15, 25-14 and 25-21 wins over the Loboes. The District 6 match of the year followed two days later, with the number one and two teams in the league, Linton-HMB and M/P-B, battling it out for who...

Shanna Barone's smile, sunny disposition and positive life outlook can light up a room. The Carrington resident has displayed that friendly face to the public through her work as a customer service representative at Gate City Bank and Bank Forward and caregiver at Small Steps Childcare, and was recently hired by Carrington Public Schools as the high school study hall tutor. A recent medical emergency, however, began a cruel twist in Shanna's story, one in which she is fighting hard to get her...

For those fun nights on the lake, that refreshing ice cream cone, burger or soda after a special occasion at the Pavilion or big game at Bill's Field of Dreams, or a treat after Bible study at the camp up the hill, there was always the Red Willow Café. The small yellow building near the eastern shores of Red Willow Lake served cabin tenants and customers from throughout the region for so long, it's hard to imagine the Resort without it. After two years of inactivity, the building is slated to...
After 48 minutes of football, it came down to two 10-yard drives, and one two-point play that would decide the victor and hard-luck loser. HWC already secured their end of the bargain with a three-yard touchdown from Kayl Sieg on the first possession of overtime, and Carter Laber's kick through the uprights meant Carrington had to score a touchdown in four plays and convert at least an extra point. Corbin Clifton secured a deflected pass from Josh Bickett from five yards out, and Coach Kyle...
When he looked at the defense statistics following his team's 16-6 win over the Maple River Raiders on Friday, September 13, Griggs/Midkota Coach Ryan Dockter had nothing to criticize. Two sacks, two interceptions, four tackles for loss and a forced fumble, and the opposition's only touchdown coming on a recovered offensive fumble in their own end zone, meant that the Titans got their second win of the season and surpassed last year's victory total halfway through the fall slate. "Our defense...
Two consecutive regulation match losses have been a rare occurrence for the Carrington Cardinal volleyball program.

It wasn't even that close in the final books, as the Cards held Grafton to 78 total yards of offense until the Spoilers got two late touchdowns on the...
Griggs/Midkota knows now that they have the horses to improve on last year's one-win showing. Now it's all about learning how to finish. G-M earned some respect from longtime southeastern power Wyndmere/Lidgerwood in Wyndmere on Friday, September 6, taking a late 28-26 loss to the Warbirds. "We knew this game would be tough," G-M Head Coach Ryan Dockter said. "W/L is a well-coached team by [Scott] Strenge, and always puts a good team on the field." Dockter said he and his staff felt G-M matched...
