Over the eight previous weeks of football, the Carrington Cardinals played their way near the top of an otherwise parity-filled Region 2, and gave themselves one shot to capture a regular-season crown. However, the longtime regional power, Langdon/Edmore/Munich, proved themselves to be on a whole other level Thursday night, October 12. L/E/M ran roughshod over the regional field all season to conclude their regular campaign at 9-0 with a 50-8 drubbing over the Cards at Cardinal Stadium. "Just a...

The Central Cass defense has been outstanding all year, giving up 21 points in the opening game to Region 1 champion Kindred, and then only surrendering 13 more...
Into their final game of the Nine-Man Region 1 season, the Hankinson Pirates were looking good for the region's last playoff spot, at least on paper. The Pirates, along with Maple River, were each in need of a win and hopeful for the other's defeat to grab the number four seed. All Hankinson needed to do was get past the 1-6 Griggs/Midkota Titans, while Maple River had the misfortune of drawing top-ranked Sargent County in the luck of the scheduling. But that's why they play the game. Hankinson...

Harvey-Wells County saw both sides of the spectrum in recent volleyball action as they rose to the challenge and defeated the Rugby Panthers for the first time in many, many years. The momentum earned from the big win over Rugby was not enough to challenge one of the state's best teams, though, as Langdon/Edmore/Munich cruised to a 3-0 sweep of HWC in Harvey.

The influx of military paychecks marked a boost to the local markets. The first half of the...
