Before the start of the Al Larson Tournament, the Carrington boys and girls faced off with their team opponents in a total of six dual matches. Four of those were on the boys’ side, and the Cardinals won three of the four matchups with New Salem-Almont, Central Cass and Napoleon, while dropping their match to the Minot Magicians. The girls team took on Pembina County North and South Border, getting victories in both matches. Results from the Carrington Duals for both the CHS boys and girls a...
Towards the end of last season on the wrestling mat, things were starting to come together for then-CHS sophomore Dru Carr. After several seasons taking his licks as a lightweight grappler for the Cards and learning how to turn losses into wins, Carr had his breakout season in 2022-23 with a sixth-place finish in the old 113-pound weight class at the State B Tournament. He took that confidence into this year's Al Larson Memorial Wrestling Tournament, and won his first-ever weekend event with...
One has to go all the way back to 1981 for the last time Carrington and Devils Lake met on the basketball floor as conference mates. That was the final year of the Northstar Conference, an “island of misfit toys” in the Class A division mostly consisting of lower-enrollment schools too big for the then-larger Class B membership that at one time boasted 32 districts. The Cardinals and Firebirds, previously known as the Satans 42 years ago, resumed pleasantries as Division A members Tuesday nig...

The Hornets had a solid start to the opening quarter, with Rachel Neumiller hitting a three and scoring five while Breanna Heilman added four more points, helping HWC take a 13-6 lead. The Aggies finished the first up with two free throws from Taryn Braaten and field goals from Natalie...
In the switch from two to three divisions in basketball, one subsection of schools was particularly affected, those being the private schools. The long-time Region 5 powers in both boys and girls basketball, Shiloh Christian of northeast Bismarck, were one of those teams placed into the new Division A. And, if the final score of their girls game with Carrington was any indicator, the new intra-divisional rivalries should be tense battles indeed. The Skyhawks clawed back from trailing by seven po...

The Carrington boys had their chances, but were unable to withstand a fourth-quarter surge by the Griggs/Midkota Titans in Glenfield and fell in a 51-41 decision Monday night, December 11. The Cards trailed by merely a 30-28 score into the final eight minutes of play, but G-M wore a path to the foul line and cashed in on their opportunities to secure the win. Much of that was due to the clutch foul shooting from Will Spickler, who hit seven of his eight attempts in the fourth and added a...
The Griggs/Midkota Titans' loss to the Oakes Tornadoes in Cooperstown contained easily-fixable mistakes that could serve the team well if they learn from them. One bad quarter was all it took for the Titans to get behind the eight ball for good in a 43-26 loss on December 7, as a two-point showing for the second quarter allowed the visitors to build a six-point cushion up to 16 at the half. Jessa Spickler had the one field goal in that period, and the Titans had only two free throw attempts...

Girls’ Basketball Saturday, December 9 Washburn 40, M-P-B 27 Medina/Pingree-Buchanan couldn’t build sustained offensive success in a 13-point loss to the Washburn Cardinals at the Stutsman County Shootout on December 9.
