Dear Savvy Senior, What tools can you recommend to help protect trusting seniors from scam calls? My 74-year-old mother gets tons of unwanted telemarketing and robocalls on her cell and home phone and has been duped out of hundreds of dollars. Frustrated Daughter Dear Frustrated, It’s a great question! Scammers are always looking for new ways to dupe people out of money, and in the U.S., phone calls remain the primary way swindlers hook older victims. The Federal Trade Commission recently f...
In both of Carrington's games with E-K-M in the girls' Region 3 and boys' District 5 tournaments, the halftime score was 30-20. This time around, the Rebels were the frontrunners, and if the mirror image came true, the Cards would come back for a win in this one. It nearly came to pass, as CHS drew to within 44-42 in the fourth, but that was all the closer they would get in a 64-49 loss to the Rebels in the District 5 semifinals Monday, February 27. The Cards really only had themselves to blame...
Despite the best shooting efforts of Oakes’ Noah Sundby in the first half, the Griggs/Midkota Titans were undeterred in their pursuit of one more game. Sundby hit all five of his three-point shot attempts in the first half, and finished with 20 points and one more trifecta for six total to lead the Tornadoes. However, it wasn’t enough, as the Titans took a 57-47 win in loser-out action Monday afternoon, February 27, at the District 5 Tournament in Jamestown. Titan junior Kyle Johnson’s 14 point...
Carrington will be playing in the Region 3 Tournament today (March 6) after defeating the Barnes County North Bison, 77-54, in the qualifying game Tuesday afternoon, February 28, at the District 5 Tournament from the Jamestown Civic Center. In the process, the Cards had to overcome a 15-point deficit as late as the second quarter, and trailed by a 32-27 count at halftime. Senior forward Hudson Schmitz achieved the personal milestone of 1,000 career points with a basket in the fourth quarter,...
The Independent-area District 5 teams had their first round of play at the opening postseason tournament Saturday, February 25, at the Jamestown Civic Center. Postponements related to the previous Region 3 Girls' Basketball Tournament pushed the start of the boys' district event back one day to Saturday, and moved the subsequent rounds to last Monday and Tuesday. Carrington, playing as the number two seed, took a 66-29 win over seventh-seeded Oakes, while the Griggs/Midkota Titans, seeded...
In the first quarter of their Region 3 semifinal, it seemed that when the Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier Rebels gave Carrington an inch, the Cards would take a mile. The Rebs were half a step slow in defending a four three-pointer barrage in the first eight minutes for CHS, and the Cardinal shooters were on fire in a 22-point period. But the law of averages being what they are, the Cards weren't going to shoot like that forever. And E-K-M's Mataeya Mathern and Kiara Jangula kept their squad afloat in...
The final game in Class B (in its current form) for the Carrington Cardinal girls went in the books as a triumph. It wasn't the storybook ending they pictured for the program in 2022-23, with that honor going to E-K-M in the championship game just under two hours later. Even then, the Cards walked off the Jamestown Civic Center floor for the last time with a 50-40 win over the Kidder County Wolves in the Region 3 Tournament third place contest. An evenly-played first quarter gave way to a big...
Many thought that the Four Winds-Minnewaukan Indians, after dropping their first game after winning 46 straight, would plow their way through the Harvey-Wells County Hornets for an easy victory, but HWC came to Fort Totten with an upset on their mind and to play well in their last regular season game of the season. After a close first half, the Indians outscored HWC, 21-11, in the third quarter, and held off the Hornets in the fourth for a 60-47 victory on Friday, February 24. Brock Fike got the...

Harvey-Wells County did what they had to do to earn a trip to the Region 4 Girls Basketball Tournament. A win in the play-in game against Dunseith gave the Hornets a chance to pull an upset in the regional tournament, but that was not to be, as they dropped the quarterfinal game to North Prairie 63-38, which ended their season. The Hornets will lose seniors Larissa Arnold, Emma Dockter and Aubree Wolfe from a team that finished the year at 8-15 overall, but improved throughout the year. HWC 55,...
M-P-B took care of business in the first two rounds at the District 6 Tournament in Hazelton, and made it to the top rung of the ladder to play for the tournament crown. The third-seeded Thunder got their 16th and 17th victories of the season by scores of 61-22 in the first round over Strasburg-Zeeland, and exacted some revenge for a one-point loss earlier in the season by knocking off #2 seed Linton-HMB, 59-55. The first round and semifinal rounds were played February 25 and 27, and the...
