For the first 16 minutes in their Region 3 Tournament opener, the Carrington girls' basketball team followed their previous year's script against Linton-HMB to the letter. Keep the game close, hit a few early big shots, scrap for every possession, and get a little bit of luck along the way. But the Lady Lions weren't about to repeat their heartbreak from the previous February's regional championship, and buried the Cards with a 19-5 third quarter and ended their season at 12-10 overall with a...
As game-winning heroics go, it wasn’t the prettiest shot ever. Still, M-P-B sophomore Allison Thomas got the proverbial “shooter’s roll” on her three-pointer from the left wing, and the Thunder survived another day. Thomas’s shot hit the rim once, twice, and finally dropped down in the waning seconds to give her team a heart-stopping 46-45 victory over the Oakes Tornadoes in the first round of play at the Region 3 Tournament in Jamestown Thursday night, February 24. Unfortunately for the Thund...
Just how they planned it, no doubt about it. The Carrington Cardinals have had the uncanny knack for making life difficult for themselves at times, but more often than not in 2022, they’ve made do with their circumstances. The heartache of their three-point first round loss to Griggs/Midkota from Saturday afternoon, February 26, fresh in their minds, the third-seeded Cards went to work, eliminating Barnes County North, 65-41, in loser-out play last Monday at the District 5 Tournament in J...
If there ever was a team to get hot at the right time, the sixth-seeded Griggs/Midkota Titans might not have been high on the list of prospective Cinderellas at the District 5 Tournament in Jamestown. To start the year, G-M lost their first six games out of the gate, and it would take some work to ensure that the 2021-22 campaign wouldn't spiral out of their control. But at the conclusion of their Tuesday Region 3 qualifier against the Oakes Tornadoes, it was indeed rookie Head Coach Kyle...
Harvey-Wells County put up a valiant effort for 24 minutes, but couldn’t keep pace with the top-ranked team in North Dakota, falling in the championship game of the District 7 Tournament to Four Winds-Minnewaukan, 69-43. HWC had a nice tournament with a dominating win over Benson County and a hard fought victory over Warwick in the semifinals before bowing out to the Indians in the final. Following the tournament, Tate Grossman was named to the District 7 All-Tournament team, and Grossman, a...
Medina/Pingree-Buchanan fell victim to the first round bye curse in their District 6 Tournament semifinal matchup against the fourth-seeded South Border Mustangs. The Thunder came out flat in a 52-35 defeat at Napoleon High School Monday night, February 28, which put M-P-B on the opposite side of the scoreboard for the first time this season against league foes. Limping out of the gate with a mere four-spot in the first quarter didn’t help matters for Coach Bob Young’s team, as the Mustangs too...

Coach Dakota Hoyt. (Courtesy photo)...
