  • Cards put scare into Tommies; enter District 5 with confidence

    Erik Gjovik|Feb 27, 2023

    Two programs fated to be part of the to-be-minted Region 2 of Division A next season got an early start on a new league rivalry Thursday night, February 16, in Thompson. Carrington's final regular season game pitted the Cardinals against a perennially-talented Tommies program with all the tools to compete for this year's Class B Region 2 crown. If not for a few hiccups, the Cards may have pulled off one of the team's bigger upsets in a few years, but witnessed the home squad make the plays late...

  • Survive. . . and advance

    Erik Gjovik|Feb 27, 2023

    Carrington's planned Monday night, February 20 finale with Napoleon/Gackle-Streeter in the first round of the Region 3 Girls' Basketball Tournament in Jamestown didn't materialize. Instead, the winter weather demons had their say, and pushed the Cards/Imperials game to Tuesday afternoon, February 21, and did even more damage to the best-laid designs of statewide tournament organizers. It didn't end up throwing the Cards off too much, as they put together a workmanlike effort to dispatch N-G-S,...
