The biggest battle coming into the Region 2 Dual Tournament for the Carrington Cardinals was the numbers game. With a 4-8 record in all duals coming into the state-qualifying tournament at May-Port-CG High School Saturday, February 5, the Cards had the wrestlers to make a run if all went their way. If they could only get past their weakness of open weight classes. Seeded fourth, CHS wrestlers picked each other up from match to match, and advanced to the finals with first-round wins over...

The Harvey-Wells County girls basketball team showed some solid improvements during the final week of the season, as they found their shooting groove in defeating Drake-Anamoose and dropping a close game to Griggs-Midkota.

Carrington played one of their better games of the year Thursday, February 3, when they entertained the Grafton Spoilers in the East Gym. The Cards were on fire to begin the game, scoring 21 first quarter points, and withstood a Grafton third-quarter comeback and brief lead before coming on strong down the stretch for a 63-55 victory.

M-P-B was the last boys’ team in District 6 to play a league game, meaning their past two weeks of the season have been like cramming for a final exam. And those late nights poring over the material have paid off by passing with flying colors. The Thunder made it 4-for-4 in league games with wins over Kidder County (72-34) in Steele, South Border (57-30) at home in Medina and at Napoleon/Gackle-Streeter (68-54) last Tuesday, with just one more district contest with Strasburg-Zeeland coming t...
The M-P-B Thunder got the initial push out of the blocks, but the Carrington girls' basketball team took control in the homestretch. Fueled by the Thunder's foul trouble, the Cards walked the free-throw path to victory in the East Gym, 55-43, behind an 18-for-28 (64.3 percent) effort behind the stripe. Center Sydnie Grager had 13 of those attempts, cashing in on eight, and led CHS with 18 points in the team's 10th win of the season. "Both teams went through some foul trouble," said Cardinal...

Never ones to shy away from the competition, Carrington put the finishing touches on an up-and-down 10-8 regular campaign with defeats to state tournament contenders Shiloh Christian and Rugby. The way they went about their business was night and day from one game to the next, though. The Cardinal offense was shut down by the Skyhawks in a 66-29 loss in the final home game of the season Saturday, February 5, but Coach Andy Braaten's team took the ninth-ranked Panthers to overtime before...
On Monday, Feb. 7, the New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets traveled 40 miles south to take on the Medina-Pingree/Buchanan Thunder in the Pingree high school gymnasium. The Rockets were on a 2-game winning streak, and were ready to make that three. But before this matchup could begin, the M-P/B Thunder recognized their three seniors; Ryleigh Martin, Abigail Reich and Briallen Thu. Congratulations to these three seniors on their 2021-22 basketball season. Now let’s move on to the game. With the tip g...
Harvey-Wells County found their weekly schedule full of ranked opponents, as they faced the ninth-ranked North Star Bearcats and the number one-ranked Four Winds-Minnewaukan Indians. HWC overcame a large deficit against North Star and outscored the Bearcats, 30-16, in the second half for the six-point victory. The Hornets couldn't solve the instant offense and the hounding defense of the Indians, though, as they dropped the road game and their first district game of the season. HWC 53, North...

The current makeup of the LaMoure/Litchville-Marion boys’ basketball roster has seen success no matter what sport they’re currently playing. State champions in nine-man football this past fall, along with winning Class B, American Legion and Babe Ruth Baseball crowns, the Loboes are quite the cohesive stable of athletes. One half of basketball was all it took for L-L-M to assert themselves as the ‘alpha wolf’, and took a 61-42 win over Carrington January 28 in the East Gym. Like it has gone in...
The HWC boys’ basketball team made giant strides in this week’s action, picking up two District 7 victories and moving to 5-0 in district play and 11-2 overall. The Hornets showed signs of explosive play, but allowed New Rockford-Sheyenne and Warwick to come from double-digit points down to either tie or take the lead against them. Some positives to that were the ability to fight off the challenge and persevere for the victories. HWC 55, NR-S 49 Tuesday, January 25, saw the Hornets travel to...
Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier was living the high life for quite awhile in Class B girls' basketball. Winners of their first 14 games and soaring all the way to #7 in the statewide polls, the Rebels would end up being humbled by another Region 3 title contender, Linton-HMB, by a 57-32 margin. And for a time in the first half in their January 28 game in Kulm, it looked like Carrington could make enough plays to defeat them once more. E-K-M steered their season back on track with a 34-21 second half...
The HWC Hornet girls picked up a big victory over the Warwick Warriors this past week, earning their first district win of the season.

The traditional final event of the Class B regular season on the mats transpired once again in New Salem with the East-West Tournament Saturday, January 29.

Two wrestlers came out on top for the Cards in New Salem, those being 113-pounder Trace Hoggarth and Michael Clifton at 182 pounds. Both...

Longtime conference power Linton-HMB and ND Sports Hall of Fame Coach Dan Carr have been at or near the top in league standings for...
Like Forrest Gump's "box of chocolates," one never quite knows what they're going to get from the Carrington girls' basketball team from one night to the next. But one thing was constant in a split with District 5 contenders Oakes and LaMoure/Litchville-Marion in that the third quarter ended up deciding both games. The Tornadoes came out hot in that period on Thursday, January 20, to steal a 60-53 win, and the Cards shut down the Loboes five nights later this past Tuesday with a 13-2 run to come...
