The Harvey-Wells County girls’ basketball team saw the top of the spectrum this past week as they played host to the Four Winds-Minnewaukan Lady Indians. The Lady Indians played very aggressive defense, as they secured the 76-26 win. On the other end of the spectrum, the Hornets saw action against the youthful TGU Titans. The Hornets claimed the 12-point victory, but the Titans played hard despite just one junior on the roster, and had 24 points scored by players who were ninth grade or younger. FW-M 76, HWC 26 Ezura Rainbow and Alionna L...
Carrington broke out of their mid-season funk this past Monday night in the East Gym, pressing the visiting Barnes County North Bison into numerous mistakes and rushed shots and registering an easy 71-33 win. The victory for the Cardinals (5-6 overall, 1-2 District 5) temporarily righted the ship after a five-game losing skid. In the rout of BCN, sophomore guard Grady Shipman was the catalyst both offensively and defensively, scoring 21 points. Lucas Hendrickson was also sharp from the field...
The Harvey-Wells County boys basketball team showed some signs of what they want to be this week, picking up big District 7 wins over Dakota Prairie and Benson County. Tate Grossman, Gabe Allmaras and Isaac Friese found double digits in scoring in both of the games as the Hornets remained undefeated in District 7 action. The Hornets have been improving from the free- throw line, and are seeing the floor very well, giving many players some great opportunities to score. The HWC defense has also stepped up as of late, allowing just a total of 80...
The Carrington wrestlers took three weight class championships, had another advance to the finals, and had three additional placers at the Nick Storhaug Invitational in Lisbon Saturday, January 22. Winners for the Cardinals were Matthew Duchscherer at 126 pounds, Brecken Lura at 138 and Michael Clifton at 182. Duchscherer, the New Rockford-Sheyenne senior, went the point-scoring route to secure the tournament victory by garnering three major-decision victories after an opening-round pin. The...
Griggs/Midkota fell in both of their District 5 matchups during this past week of play, taking losses on the road by scores of 70-41 to LaMoure/Litchville-Marion last Monday and 61-30 against fourth-ranked Ellendale Tuesday. Logan Topp led the Titans in the L-L-M game with 14 points, followed by Jaxon Gronneberg with 11. Other scorers for G-M in the game were Carter Spitzer (six points), Wyatt Spickler (five), Brady Haugen (three) and Latrell Rainey (two.) The Loboes’ Max Musland had 21 points to lead L-L-M. Additional players in double f...
Two local squads that last met in the first round of this year’s Stutsman County Boys’ Basketball Tournament renewed pleasantries in the PBHS Gym January 20. As it went the first time, the battle between M-P-B and Griggs/Midkota went the way of the Thunder, 65-46, thanks to 32 points from sophomore Rylen Wick. The 6’4” sharp-shooting forward had four three-pointers, and junior guard Josh Moser finished with 15 points. Adam McClellan additionally had a solid effort with eight. Wyatt Spickle...
Girls’ Basketball Thursday, January 20 M-P-B 84, Barnes Co. N. 15 It was all M-P-B, all the time in a runaway victory over the winless Lady Bison. Four players scored in double figures for the Thunder, led by 18 points from Lilly Bohl. Allison Thomas had 15 points, Maddie Gefroh had her career-high of 13 points and Ryleigh Martin added 10 more. The lone negative for the Thunder (8-3 following the win) was their performance at the free-throw line, going just 11-for-23 for a rate of 48 percent. Jayden Samek led BCN (0-9) with nine points. N...
M-P-B got a win over Napoleon/Gackle-Streeter in District 6 action, 54-42, but came up on the short end of a 47-41 score against the Kidder County Wolves. Ryleigh Martin led the Thunder with 22 points and Lilly Bohl added 12 against N-G-S, who got 15 points apiece from Teagan Erbele and Sophie Ketterling. Isabel Schmidt was one point shy of double digits with nine. Coach Cory Mack's team got behind the eight-ball early against Kidder County with a 20-4 hole after one quarter, but gradually...
The yearly series between Carrington and Central Cass's basketball programs has gone back and forth over recent seasons, with one team or the other claiming supremacy, but mostly competitive. For the last few years, the pendulum has swung towards the Squirrels, and this year was fairly representative of that trend. The third-ranked Cass girls overcame a slow start in the first quarter and rolled through the final three periods for a 66-25 win. In the boys' game in the nightcap, the Cards gave...
A 19-0 run by Harvey-Wells County in the third and fourth quarters propelled the Hornets to their first District 7 win of the season, as they defeated the Lakota Raiders, 55-42, Monday, January 17, in Lakota. Both the Hornets and Raiders played a close first quarter with HWC’s largest lead at 9-5, but that lead was only one at the end of eight minutes. The second quarter saw Lakota take an 18-15 lead, but HWC finished the half up on a 9-2 run courtesy of a three-pointer by Madden Thorson and deuces from Isaac Friese, Gabe Allmaras and Alex E...

Harvey-Wells County held off a furious New Rockford-Sheyenne comeback attempt to claim their first District 7 win off the season. Earlier in the week, the Hornet girls played a solid first quarter, but Nelson County took control after that point to claim the victory. The Hornet girls have had games against Towner-Granville-Upham and Warwick postponed because of weather so far this year. The TGU game was made up on Saturday January 22, in Towner. Nelson Co. 49, HWC 30 Nelson County forced HWC int...
The M-P-B girls’ and boys’ basketball teams were both in action on January 15 in Medina, taking on Ellendale in a doubleheader matchup of Region 3 programs. The girls had very little issue taking care of the Cardinals in a 70-24 win, behind Allison Thomas’ 20 points, but the boys couldn’t quite muster enough magic, falling to EHS, 67-52. Rylen Wick led the M-P-B boys with 15 points. Boxscores for the games are as follows: Nondistrict Girls’ Basketball M-P-B 70, Ellendale 24 at Medina Ellen. 8 9 6 1 24 M-P-B 29 10 20 11 70 M-P-B: Allison T...
Like Rodney Dangerfield, the Hatton-Northwood Thunder girls' basketball team has their claim to "no respect." The 10-1 Thunder have methodically disposed of their court foes since a season-opening 10-point loss to Thompson, but still had not been among the teams receiving Class B poll votes when they faced Griggs/Midkota in Binford on Thursday, January 13. Asia Becherl's 21 points, along with twin 10-point evenings from Emma Kollman and Jenna Larson, were key for the Titans in their search of...
If it hasn’t been one thing, it’s another. For the third straight season, the planned State Junior Varsity/Junior High Wrestling Tournament in Carrington, slated for January 14-15, has been cancelled. This year’s event, like the inaugural tourney in 2020, was lost due to a winter storm hitting much of the state on January 13 and making travel to the Central City difficult to impossible. Along with most other multi-school events held during the 2020-21 season with the exception of the State...
The M-P-B Thunder had the top local finish out of Independent-area teams at the Stutsman County Tournament in Jamestown January 6-8. A 45-44 upset over Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier in the semifinal round put M-P-B in the championship, where they fell to the eighth-ranked Ellendale Cardinals, 54-42. The Thunder had two players make the All-Tournament Team, Rylen Wick and Josh Moser, and Bob Young was named Coach of the Tournament. Meanwhile, Carrington took home fourth place with a 69-51 loss to the...
Defense, defense and more defense proved more than enough for the Carrington Cardinals to maintain their District 5 leadership in two games covering last week’s period. The Cards held both Ellendale and Barnes County North under 20 points, with CHS taking a 54-13 road win on January 6 over the former and 68-16 in the East Gym over the latter last Monday night, January 10. Said Coach Andy Braaten of the two games, “We were able to press [Ellendale] into many turnovers and convert some lay...
Six wins in seven games to start the season for the M-P-B Thunder girls’ basketball team have been a good sign, but the team faced their first extended spell of adversity this season in two Region 3 games on January 6 and 10. Coach Cory Mack’s girls fell to the LaMoure/Litchville-Marion Loboes, 55-39, and ran into the red-hot E-K-M Rebels last Monday. The Rebs, ranked eighth in the state in the January 10 poll, took down the Thunder by a score of 56-29. Two of M-P-B’s defeats have come to E-K-M...
The Griggs/Midkota Titans had no defensive answer for Oakes junior guard Laikyn Roney. The Tornadoes’ sharpshooter broke OHS’ single-game scoring record with 39 points, 37 of those in the first three quarters, as the natural disasters took care of the Titans in Cooperstown, 71-41, last Monday evening, January 10. Oakes, who improved to 3-0 in District 5 and 7-3 in all games, also benefited from good games by Brianna Schmitz (eight points) and Abby Cox and Emma Muggli (seven apiece.) The Tit...

Rookie Griggs/Midkota Head Coach Kyle Mehus got his first career win at the seventh place game of the Stutsman County Tournament in Jamestown. He did that one better, though, with a 50-37 victory for the Titans over rival Carrington last Tuesday night, January 11, in Cooperstown, to earn a District 5 triumph for the first time. And it was the long ball that helped put G-M over the hump. Griggs/Midkota erupted for nine threes to account for nearly half of their 19 field goals. Three of those...
Thanks to three top-eight finishers, the Carrington Cardinal wrestlers finished in 17th place overall at the large school-dominated Bismarck Rotary Tournament, held Friday and Saturday, January 7-8, at the Event Center. A pair of South Dakota schools, Watertown and Rapid City Stevens, occupied the top two team finishes with just two points separating the Arrows from the Raiders (205.5 to 203.5). Sidney, Montana was third with 187, and Bismarck and Minot rounded out the top five. The Cards had...
Being down in numbers to fill lineup slots, everything had to go Carrington’s way in contested weights to salvage any form of victory in a triangular dual meet with HWC and Central Cass Thursday, January 6, in Harvey. Even with four forfeits to the Hornets and five to the Squirrels, the Cards lost both duals by a combined tally of just five points, taking a bitter 37-36 loss to the home team and tasting defeat in 40-36 fashion to the eastern North Dakota school. Taking wins in both duals were T...
The HWC Hornet boys’ basketball team’s record now sits at 5-2 overall, but it very well could have been 6-1 if not for a heartbreaking one-point loss in their first game of the week’s slate. The Hornets dropped a narrow decision to the Rugby Panthers, 51-50, but came back for a 39-32 win against Mohall-Lansford-Sherwood last Monday. Both games were non-region games. Rugby 51, HWC 50 The Hornets jumped out early but in the end it was the Panthers holding on for the single point victory over HWC in Harvey on Friday, January 7. Harvey-Wells County...
The Carrington Cardinaires are nearing the end of their season on the dance floor, and hope to hone their routines to perfection at the North Dakota Association of Dance and Drill (NDADD) State Competition at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks Friday and Saturday, January 21-22....
