For the second consecutive spring, the M-P-B Thunder's state track meet delegation will consist of one solitary member. Once again, that honor goes to senior Mark Thomas, who is the lone male competitor in the Thunder program. Thomas's second-place finish in the 110-meter hurdles by just .07 seconds to Carrington's Logan Weninger at the South Central Regional Track Meet in Mandan (16.41 to 16.34), allowed him to represent M-P-B at the Bismarck Community Bowl this past weekend. He also placed...
The Hornet track and field team traveled to Rugby on Friday, May 17, and competed in the North Central Regional Track and Field meet at Johnsen Field. The regional meet was the last chance for any individuals and relays to qualify for the state meet, and any athlete that met the state standard or finished in the top three in an event would qualify for the state meet Thursday-Saturday, May 23-25, at the Bismarck Community Bowl. The Hornets had a nice day overall, with the boys finishing in 3rd pl...
With a few clutch hits, pitches and grit, the Carrington softball team advanced the furthest in the postseason they ever have in their three years of existence as a program. Starting from their inclusion in the south sub-region play-in game, the Cardinals went on to win a trio of games in the Region 2 Tournament, on the doorstep for State B Tournament qualification. The Cards rolled past #5 seed Larimore at City Park to begin the tournament on Thursday, May 16, 23-3, setting up a Saturday...
Three individual middle to long-distance runners, along with one boys' relay, were the new qualifiers for the Griggs/Midkota Titans at the North East Regional Track meet in Hillsboro on May 17. The G-M girls received third-place runs by seventh grader Kadence Spickler in the 800-meter run (2:32.64) and another bronze placement by Tianna McCardle for the 1,600 (5:47.95). Meanwhile, the Titan boys had two regional champions in 3,200-meter run winner Luka Berg, first in 11:06.76, and shot putter...
Seeding was largely rendered irrelevant in the 2024 spring high school baseball season, at least in Region 3. The nominal top seed, the Carrington Cardinals, had three losses in league play, two coming to fifth and bottom seed LaMoure/Litchville-Marion and another to fourth-seeded South Border coming into Region 3 Tournament play in Steele this past Monday, May 20. A 4-1 opening win over the Loboes for the Cards, sparked by a shutdown pitching performance by senior Grady Shipman with 16...
Twenty years ago I wrote a column about technology. It was inspired by a walk through an early spring hunting and fishing expo. What I wrote then and what I'm thinking about today with forward-facing sonar and even more evolution really hasn't changed much at all has it? Think back to your last trip outdoors with friends. Chances are, somebody brought along a cell phone. Another buddy may have packed hand-held radios, and it wouldn't be surprising if someone had a GPS unit mounted on the pickup...
Carrington got a lot of swings of the club into their muscle memory over two weeks-plus of meets spanning May 6 to last Wednesday, May 22. Four of those five events were in the Fargo to suburban-Fargo area, and the final meet this past Wednesday was the Region 2 individual qualifier at CrossRoads Golf Club. The Cards began that gauntlet of meets in Oxbow, scoring a 423. Central Cass took the team victory with a 358, behind junior Jake Thompson's winning 86 scorecard in a day where golfers strugg...
