  • Dakota Gardener: A turning plant story

    Carrie Knutson, NDSU Extension Agent, Grand Forks Co.|Feb 12, 2024

    While cleaning the kitchen one Sunday afternoon, my daughter asked why one of my houseplants looked like the letter "S." Children always seem to find our faults. The plant I had hoped to hide until I could take some cuttings and re-start it this summer was put in the spotlight. However, it was a great opportunity for some plant-based learning for my daughter and a lesson for me. The plant now in the spotlight is a jade plant that was purchased about six years ago. Originally, the jade was close...

  • Two for two! CHS girls make repeat state dual appearance

    Erik Gjovik|Feb 12, 2024

    The second year of varsity girls wrestling at CHS is progressing very similarly to the first one. While the novelty of the opening campaign delivering a state dual tournament berth was exciting, many anticipated what the Cardinals would do for an encore in 2024. And the team did their fans and coaches proud with another second-place finish at the East Region Dual Tournament, held at Central Cass High School Friday, February 2. The Cards entered the competition as the number three seed, and took...

  • Cardinal boys win three of four, advance to state

    Erik Gjovik|Feb 12, 2024

    The Carrington boys wrestling team, save for their efforts with the championship opponent, had a very strong performance at the Region 2 Dual Tournament in Larimore Saturday, February 3. CHS finished as the runners-up at the tournament to meet winner Northern Lights, competing in Region 2 for the first time following realignment prior to this season. In round one, the Cards took a 42-8 win over the host Polar Bears. Coach Josh Kerbaugh's team dropped just two matches in the dual, which had four...

  • A pair of aces

    Erik Gjovik|Feb 12, 2024

    By the luck of the schedule, the Carrington girls basketball team faced the top-rated squads in both the A and B divisions in back-to-back games February 1 and 6. And the Cardinals showed that with the breaks going their way, they can compete with any squad in the state, if not outright come away with the win. Those outcomes came to pass in a closely-contested 54-48 loss to undefeated Division A top team Thompson, and they played some of their best basketball of the year in an eye-opening 54-45...

  • Ellendale gets payback for region title defeat

    Erik Gjovik|Feb 12, 2024

    Obviously, it's little consolation now, but the Ellendale Cardinals exacted a small measure of vengeance on the Medina/Pingree-Buchanan Thunder for their epic 57-56 Region 3 championship defeat last March. Now District 2 rivals, Ellendale got out to a sizable lead before M-P-B closed in on the Cardinals in the fourth quarter, but the host team got past the Thunder, 53-49, on Friday, February 2. Six-foot-eight junior forward Kade Schimke had 16 points for Ellendale (11-5, 6-2 District 2)....

  • Broncos let 'er buck, beat Cards

    Erik Gjovik|Feb 12, 2024

    Region 1 and Region 2 representatives of Division A met on the basketball court for the first time in a long while Monday night, February 5. The Lisbon Broncos came to the East Gym for a rare roundball clash with the Carrington Cardinals, and took a 60-38 win to improve to 7-8 on the season. Carrington got a 4-0 lead to begin the game, however, the Broncos established control from that point on thanks to seven first quarter points by 6'1" junior guard Lincoln Adair. He would end the night...

  • Cards defeat HWC girls, 55-27

    Erik Gjovik|Feb 12, 2024

    Carrington didn't have their A-game, at least as far as long-range shooting was concerned, but that was good enough Friday, February 2. While the armchair meteorologists were celebrating the groundhog's forecast of an early spring, the Cardinal defense made the HWC Hornets see their shadow and gave the home team a 55-27 victory in A-B interdivisional play at the East Gym. No Cardinal players scored in double figures, as scoring leadership was shared by both Edyn Hoornaert and Madison Johnson...

    Erik Gjovik|Feb 12, 2024

    New Rockford-Sheyenne was raring to go this winter following a second consecutive taste of tournament success in the volleyball season. However, that hasn't exactly translated to momentum for the winter basketball battles, as the Rockets stumbled out of the blocks to a 3-7 start. With a 55-39 win over M-P-B in Pingree last Monday night, February 5, NR-S garnered their fourth straight win, improved to 10-9, and entered the District 4 Tournament February 9 on their home floor as the number three...
