Medina/Pingree-Buchanan's five-match run through the District 6 regular season provided them with confidence they could get the two straight wins to take the tournament plaque in Napoleon Monday-Tuesday, October 30-31. The first part of that equation came to pass, but not the second, as the Linton-HMB Lions rose up to take a four-set win in the championship over the Thunder last Tuesday evening. In a three-set win over Kidder County (25-6, 25-17 and 25-18), M-P-B sustained a costly loss, as seni...
Griggs/Midkota faced a tall task in their attempt to spring an upset and prolong their volleyball season at the District 5 Tournament in Oakes Monday night, October 30. Namely, to take down the hometown team on their court with Region 3 qualification on the line. The Tornadoes took care of the playoff nerves early, and sent the Titans home for the fall with a 15-25, 8-25 and 22-25 loss. Kelsey Johnson had eight kills, Kennedy Reidman six and Vanessa Vollmer five for G-M, whose season ended at...
Those darned fourth downs. A case could have been made that if they had made three more key stops during their otherwise very-successful campaign in 2023, the Carrington Cardinals may have been sitting with nine wins in 10 games instead of six. But armchair speculation is ultimately just that, and Carrington played the cards they were dealt in hosting their first home playoff game since 2018 when the 6-2 Oakes Tornadoes invaded Cardinal Stadium. The Tornadoes proved their mettle, tested by...
The Kindred Vikings had too much of a lot of things in a 49-6 rolling of the Harvey-Wells County Hornets in the first round of the Class A playoffs in Kindred on Saturday, October 21. Size, speed, numbers and just a little more size helped the Vikings keep their season record unblemished at 9-0, while HWC finished their season at 5-5 overall. The Viking offensive line averaged 248 pounds across the front, and the defense line wasn't much different. The O-line and D-line were anchored by...
A pair of volleyball programs hoping to gain positive momentum into the start of their district tournaments met in Carrington's East Gym Monday night, October 23. Medina/Pingree-Buchanan, already locked in as the top seed in District 6, met the fourth-seeded Cardinals from District 5 in what has annually become an underrated rivalry of two teams with high yearly expectations. This time around, it was CHS, behind a stout effort on the blocking game and their scrappy earn-your-points back row,...

Brynn is the daughter of Jeremy and...
For the second consecutive game, the Harvey-Wells County volleyball team faced a top-10 ranked team. This time around, HWC faced North Star, who was ranked #8 in the most recent state poll. The Bearcats would get a straight set victory over HWC. The Hornets traveled to Cando on Tuesday, October 17 to take on the Bearcats. The Bearcats came into the contest at 5-1 in the Super Region 4 standings. The Bearcats jumped out to a 6-2 lead, but HWC responded and kept the game close, pulling to within...

Ten years (plus two days) to the day since it last happened, the Carrington cross country team has an East Region champion runner. Junior Kenadie Pazdernik crossed the finish line in 19 minutes, 55.5 seconds to capture victory in the girls' race at the penultimate postseason meet in Cooperstown Saturday morning, October 21. Her win was the first for a CHS runner at regionals since Ashley Neumiller won the race as a freshman in 2013. As a team, CHS finished in sixth place for the girls'...
A few points here and there separated the Griggs/Midkota Titans from what would have been their signature victory of the season on the volleyball court. In New Rockford Monday night, October 23, the Titans shocked defending Region 4 champion NR-S in the second and third sets, taking 25-23 wins in both following a 25-16 opening set loss, before the Rockets got their bearings and took the final two sets, 25-19 and 15-12, to escape with a win in the regular season finale for G-M. Kelsey Johnson...
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...
Central Cass scored 29 points in the first quarter and 14 more in the second quarter to take an insurmountable 43-0 lead into halftime, and cruised to a 49-8 win over Harvey-Wells County in Casselton on Friday, October 13. The Squirrels scored from both sides of the ball, as the offense put up five touchdowns and the defense scored two. 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...
Carrington got a bit of their mojo back after a five-set loss to Oakes on October 10, and took out their frustrations on a trio of opponents in matches covering October 12-17. The Cards took a 3-0 win over Kidder County in the first match of that three-game swing, by final scores of 25-15, 25-13 and 25-16 on Thursday. Last Monday, they dispatched Griggs/Midkota, 25-13, 25-10 and 25-13, and did the same to Napoleon/Gackle-Streeter on Senior Night, 25-12, 25-15 and 25-11. With the victories,...
Just call it another night in the always-tough Region 3 volleyball wars. M-P-B added another win to their total with a four-set triumph (24-26, 26-24, 25-19, 25-21) over the Oakes Tornadoes, 3-1, last Tuesday evening in Oakes. Maddie Gefroh headed a three-way assault on the Tornado defense with 21 total kills, and 17 apiece came off the hands of Allison Thomas and Brynn Sorenson. Four different Thunder players had at least 20 digs in the win, led by 38 from Sorenson, along with Alaina Bosche (35...
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. HWC 3, Rugby 0 HWC came out on fire with two decisive victories and a come from behind effort in a three-game sweep over the visiting...
The 2023 cross country season is hitting the home stretch, and Carrington, Griggs/Midkota and M-P-B were all on hand at the Cooperstown Bible Camp's sprawling campus Thursday, October 12, for the final regular season meet. Runners will now prepare for the postseason, as the East Region Meet was held last Saturday at Cooperstown Golf Club. The culmination of the season, the State Class B Cross Country Meet, will be held Friday, October 27, at Parkhurst Recreation Area north of Jamestown. Top 20-l...

Explosive plays, which have been in mighty short supply for the Griggs/Midkota Titans this season, came in abundance Friday night, October 6, in Cooperstown. And each and every one of those scores helped the Titans record their first win of the season, 52-32, over the Enderlin Eagles in 9-man Region 1 action. "It was nice to see our offense get the ball moving," said Titan Head Coach Ryan Dockter. "Our defense played tough, putting up two scores themselves, and it was nice to have three seniors...
Style points don't count for much in the grand scheme of things, but the Carrington Cardinals might have been a little too close for comfort in relation to winless Park River Area to Coach Kyle Smith's liking. Considering the prize at stake, being ahead by a 14-8 score early in the fourth quarter could have been a recipe for an upset for the hometown Aggies. However, the Cards got an insurance touchdown late, and opted not to go for points in the final seconds deep in Aggie territory to secure...
The Cavalier Tornadoes scored 20 second half points and held Harvey-Wells County scoreless in the last 24 minutes to earn a 26-14 homecoming victory over the Hornets in Cavalier on Friday, October 6.

Sieg caught one ball for six yards, and rushed five times for 59 yards, including the 12-yard run for the open...
All four Independent-area volleyball teams, plus New Rockford-Sheyenne just to the north, slipped on the knee pads, spandex and long sleeves for a full day's worth of tense net drama at the annual Carrington Varsity Volleyball Tournament Saturday, October 7. When the last point was signaled from the official's platform, it was the NR-S Rockets reigning supreme as tournament champions with a perfect 6-0 record covering pool and bracket play. Sporting a new rotation, the Rockets did not drop a...
Saturday, October 7 saw the Hornets in action at the Carrington Tournament.
