  • Dakota Datebook: Germans left behind

    Oct 16, 2023

    By the late 1800s, Catherine the Great was dead, Germany and Russia had become enemies and German Russians were being drafted into the military to fight their German kinsman. This marked the beginning of the second mass migration of Germans – this time from Russia to the United States, with a very large number of them settling in central and southwestern North Dakota. The choice to stay or go wasn't an easy one. Germans had created thriving farms and businesses in separate communities that a...

  • Titans earn first victory

    Erik Gjovik|Oct 16, 2023

    Explosive plays, which have been in mighty short supply for the Griggs/Midkota Titans this season, came in abundance Friday night, October 6, in Cooperstown. And each and every one of those scores helped the Titans record their first win of the season, 52-32, over the Enderlin Eagles in 9-man Region 1 action. "It was nice to see our offense get the ball moving," said Titan Head Coach Ryan Dockter. "Our defense played tough, putting up two scores themselves, and it was nice to have three seniors...

  • Not pretty, but Cards clinch first round home field berth

    Erik Gjovik|Oct 16, 2023

    Style points don't count for much in the grand scheme of things, but the Carrington Cardinals might have been a little too close for comfort in relation to winless Park River Area to Coach Kyle Smith's liking. Considering the prize at stake, being ahead by a 14-8 score early in the fourth quarter could have been a recipe for an upset for the hometown Aggies. However, the Cards got an insurance touchdown late, and opted not to go for points in the final seconds deep in Aggie territory to secure...

Sieg caught one ball for six yards, and rushed five times for 59 yards, including the 12-yard run for the open...
