The good feelings that accompanied the first week-and-change of the 2023 volleyball season for the M-P-B Thunder took a few temporary setbacks Thursday evening, August 31, in Edgeley, and last Tuesday night in New Rockford. In a 3-1 (25-23, 21-25, 17-25, 23-25) loss to the Edgeley-Kulm/Montpelier Rebels, the Thunder battled point-by-point, but couldn't get the crucial points late in sets to hold off an athletic home squad. Junior Maddie Gefroh's 14 kills were a team-best, trailed closely behind...
In her final year of varsity golf for the Carrington Cardinal girls, Kacie Rexin has shown she can compete with the best in the state. Rexin was the only CHS golfer to compete in the prestigious A&B Crossover at Oxbow Country Club on August 21, and the senior proved she belonged in her lofty company. Her score of three-over-par 75 finished only behind the defending Class A and Class B champions, Rose Solberg of Fargo Davies (70, -2) and Avery Bartels of Kindred (71, -1). She and the rest of the...

In one of the track-and-field capitals of Class B, Logan Weninger showed that football pads were no impediment to chunks of yardage with his legs. The senior running back and long sprint ace for the Cardinals in the spring busted out for 190 yards on the ground, and 81 more on a kickoff return, and scored five touchdowns to help CHS zoom to a 48-14 win over the Rugby Panthers at Johnsen Field in Rugby. Weninger averaged just under 16 yards a carry with his 12 attempts, and even gave a subtle...

Three pass completions for 53 yards, including a 27- yard strike from Rayce Worley to Mason Romfo for the game's opening score, led to a quick 6-0 lead for LAEM. HWC responded with a nice offensive...
Wyndmere/Lidgerwood made sure that the Griggs/Midkota Titans had an uphill climb ahead of them, with 22 points in the first quarter.

Just one calendar year ago, the Medina/Pingree-Buchanan Thunder took a 1-4 match record against all comers in their first action of the season, the Northern Cass Tournament in Hunter. One year later, and the Thunder have certainly turned some heads with their 2023 performance at the same event. M-P-B took down several Class B blue-bloods in surging to a mirror image 4-1 record this time around, and have served notice that they could be a possible contender in the Region 3 race.

Carrington stepped onto the turf for the first game of 2023, with a team short on depth, but high on potential playmaking ability. And according to the stat sheet, they accomplished the second part of that equation. However, the Bottineau Braves had just enough game-changers of their own to take a narrow 36-34 win in Carrington Friday night, August 18. In spite of 330 yards passing by Cardinal quarterback Josh Bickett, including four touchdowns, the Braves came out on top in the entertaining...
One play does not make a game. The Hornet defense literally had one play all game that they could look back on with question, but that one play motivated the defense to step it up a notch in a 38-14 season opening win over the Rugby Panthers in Harvey on Friday, August 18. The Panthers' Tucker Volk opened the first offensive series of the season for Rugby with a quarterback draw that went up the middle and around the right edge for a 53-yard score. An Austin Schneibel PAT run made the score 8-0...

The opening schedule for the fall of 2022 didn't leave the Carrington Cardinal football team a lot of wiggle room. Three of their first four games in 11B - Region 2 came against eventual playoff teams, and all four ended in losses. An exciting back-and-forth win in Grafton got them on the board, and they then won three straight contests to give them a chance for a win-and-in game with Langdon/Edmore/Munich on the last game of the season for a playoff spot.
