In the olden days before the three-division split, namely just last year, the Carrington and Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier girls could be counted on to provide some of the most entertaining and spirited games in the District 5 season. The stakes are much lower now, as this year's tussle of the Cards/Rebels was merely a non-conference game between Division A and B schools and not the grudge match of past campaigns. Both teams proved that the competitive juices still flow in Edgeley Saturday, January...
The Carrington girls basketball team is taking advantage of doing a bit of in-person scouting of Region 1 teams they could meet in a hypothetical Division A state tournament play-in situation. After defeating league leader Valley City earlier this season, the Cards took on the number three team currently in the opposite region's standings, the Northern Cass Jaguars. With some of their trademark balance and another good night from the stripe, Carrington went home happy about their chances with a...
M-P-B moved their way up the District 2 standings ever-so-slightly with a 59-51 triumph over Ellendale on the road Thursday, January 11, earning their second straight win in league contests. Their run of luck came crashing down five nights later in Medina, with the eighth-ranked E-K-M Rebels running away with the win, 60-35, last Tuesday night.

After a week off, the New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets were back in action on Tuesday, Jan. 16 on their home court against the Harvey/Wells County Hornets. After the recent three-class system change, the Hornets are no longer in Region 4 with the Rockets.

If anything, Carrington knows their perimeter shooting duties going forward will be capably handled for the next 3 1/2 seasons. Freshman Taylen Mehring's 13 points, including four three-point shots, served as a highlight in an otherwise-humbling 87-41 loss to Four Winds-Minnewaukan in Region 2 action from Thursday, January 11 in Minnewaukan. The Cards, like many teams before them, were unable to handle the Indians' hounding pressure defense, lightning-quick transition game, height and depth....

James Woodstead's 14 tallies played a big part in leading the Titans back to the .500 mark at 4-4 for the season. In the win, Kyle Johnson and Will Spickler each accounted for seven-point showings. For the Wolves (1-8 following the loss), Collin Zimmerman had an impressive showing...

The Carrington Cardinals, slogging through six consecutive defeats to open their season, were aiming to put together their most complete effort over 32 minutes in hopes of getting into the winner's circle. They just needed the motivation, and the rival NR-S Rockets provided the fuel. It would end up being 32 plus four for Carrington to break through their black cloud, and score a 59-57 upset over the Rockets in the series where overall records don't seem to matter. Josh Bickett's 21 points...
Six-foot-seven Ramsey Walz scored 18 points, including eight in the fourth quarter, as the #3 ranked team in Class B, Bishop Ryan, came into Harvey and defeated the Hornets by 16 on Friday, December 5.

The big sequence of the game came in the third quarter, when...
M-P-B might find the going rough in their search for wins this year on the girls' basketball scene, but at least they have one more player who is a welcome addition to that quest. Senior guard Allison Thomas has made a swift return to the Thunder lineup following a scary-looking knee injury at the end of the volleyball season, and has contributed with games of eight and 10 points in M-P-B's most recent action.
