On occasion, the significance of the moment finds the unlikeliest of heroes. In the inaugural East Region Girls' Dual Wrestling Tournament, competitors from first-year program Carrington got a crash course in the emotions and sense of accomplishment that a well-fought match can bring out. CHS's Ashley Lindberg lived that euphoria following three minutes and 36 seconds of tension on the mat. With her team trailing the Fargo Stingers in the opening round, 40-36, Lindberg put on the headgear and...
Carrington had their chances to make the State B Dual Tournament with either a championship or runner-up finish at the Region 2 championships in Harvey. However, a painfully-close 36-33 loss in the semifinal round to the Pembina Co. North Grizzlies meant that the fate of that tournament berth was temporarily in others' hands. If PCN were to advance to the finals and upset top seed Central Cass, that would have allowed the Cards to challenge the Squirrels for the final spot. Unfortunately for CHS...

The win moves them to 3-5 with just two games remaining in regional play.

One team was looking to maintain positive momentum into the postseason, while another was in need of a confidence booster against a quality opponent. The NR-S Rockets, still licking their wounds after a 31-point loss to Langdon/Edmore/Munich two nights prior, entered their makeup game with rival Carrington with the intent of playing good basketball even if they failed to spring the upset. On that count, the Rockets are still looking for answers, with not much time before the start of the Region...
