Warwick came tantalizingly close to pulling off one of the largest upsets in the history of Class B basketball in the first round in Bismarck, even though the score didn't show it. A 58-43 loss to eventual champion Central Cass featured the heavy underdog Warriors leading going into the fourth quarter, and tied or within one possession well into the final eight minutes. So, in the seventh place game, the Thunder decided not to let Warwick's shooting and transition game take hold, and led pretty...
Despite the frightful travel conditions, local archers made their presence known at the North Dakota State National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) Tournament in Minot last weekend. Carrington High School brought 39 archers to the tournament Friday afternoon and had participants shooting in four straight flights. Three Cardinals earned a trip to the NASP Western Nationals in Sandy, Utah on April 28 and 29 by scoring in the top 10 of their respective divisions. Brekka Kuss rose to the top...
The student sections of both Medina and Pingree-Buchanan High Schools were in full throat for the three days of the State Class B Boys' Basketball Tournament, held Thursday-Saturday, March 16-18 in Bismarck. Young and old Thunder fans were on hand to support their heroes on the court, with posters, themed outfits, pom-poms, and other items to display their red-and-black spirit. (Photos by Erik Gjovik)...

The closing line of 1980 Team USA Olympic hockey coach Herb Brooks' fabled speech in "Miracle" to his team before they took on the Soviets rang true for the Medina/Pingree-Buchanan Thunder. "This. . . is your time. Now go out there and take it." Sawyer Wanzek's three-pointer from the left wing with three seconds remaining, and a defensive stop on the following possession, triggered bedlam on the floor from M-P-B players and supporters as they executed an improbable 57-56 win over favored...
As a police officer by profession, Chris Ormiston spends one night weekly at Central City Lanes to unwind from a job that provides its own special level of stress and anxiety. On the evening of February 9, however, those feelings came to Ormiston at the bowling alley, with the prospect of the sport's biggest individual thrill staring at him in the form of the 10 pins 60 feet away from the foul line, spread in width just under 42 inches. The third ball of the 10th frame spun down the polished...
Military metaphors are often overused in our sporting-obsessed culture, but M-P-B Coach Bob Young got straight to the point about what Thunder games with the Linton-HMB Lions have resembled this season. "It's always a war with Linton," he said. "Our message to the boys was that it was going to be a war, and that we'd prepared for this over the last few years." Two games in the books this season with a combined point differential of plus-three for M-P-B, tied at one apiece, meant the rubber...
The Warwick Warriors pulled off the first of a few upsets in the Region 4 Boys Basketball Tournament by defeating the Harvey-Wells County Hornets, 65-56, on Monday, March 6, at the Devils Lake Sports Center in Devils Lake. The Warriors outscored the Hornets by eight in the first quarter, saw that lead evaporate late in the third, and then exploded for 22 fourth quarter points en route to their 17th win of the season. Jason Lenoir collected three offensive boards in the first quarter and turned t...
Trinity Bible College women's basketball player Brenna Anderson's role on the court for the Lions has blossomed into being one of the team's go-to-players with the recent conclusion of her sophomore season. The 5'3" guard helped lead TBC to three straight wins and the tournament championship of the Northern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (NIAC), held February 17-19 at Free Lutheran Bible College in Plymouth, Minn. Anderson averaged 17.2 points per game this past season, shooting 42.6 percen...
For the first few minutes of the Region 3 quarterfinal round, the Carrington Cardinals were doing what they needed to do against District 6 winner Medina/Pingree-Buchanan, according to Coach Tim Ranum. The Cards got out to a quick 4-0 lead, and briefly landed a punch on a slightly-discombobulated team before matching them basket for basket early in the opening eight minutes. Then, the bottom fell out. M-P-B senior Josh Moser got hot from the field, and Carrington couldn't buy a key bucket from t...
CHS senior Kennedy Wendel, center in black, has just signed a letter of intent to play for the University of Jamestown Jimmies' volleyball program. Wendel was a multi-year starter for the Cards in the front row, and she joins a U of J team just coming off the school's first NAIA national championship this past season. She also was a contributor to two first-year sports in Carrington, those being the girls' softball and wrestling teams. Kennedy will become the third collegiate-level athlete of...

The years of struggles on the floor as a young budding squad learning to win, have come to fruition for the M-P-B Thunder. After several tournament disappointments, the Thunder finally hit one of their preseason milestone goals, and captured the District 6 championship with a 54-42 victory against South Border Thursday night, March 2. It is the first tournament crown for M-P-B since their founding as a co-op, and their most recent overall for schools within the agreement since 2009 going back...
In both of Carrington's games with E-K-M in the girls' Region 3 and boys' District 5 tournaments, the halftime score was 30-20. This time around, the Rebels were the frontrunners, and if the mirror image came true, the Cards would come back for a win in this one. It nearly came to pass, as CHS drew to within 44-42 in the fourth, but that was all the closer they would get in a 64-49 loss to the Rebels in the District 5 semifinals Monday, February 27. The Cards really only had themselves to blame...
Despite the best shooting efforts of Oakes’ Noah Sundby in the first half, the Griggs/Midkota Titans were undeterred in their pursuit of one more game. Sundby hit all five of his three-point shot attempts in the first half, and finished with 20 points and one more trifecta for six total to lead the Tornadoes. However, it wasn’t enough, as the Titans took a 57-47 win in loser-out action Monday afternoon, February 27, at the District 5 Tournament in Jamestown. Titan junior Kyle Johnson’s 14 point...
Carrington will be playing in the Region 3 Tournament today (March 6) after defeating the Barnes County North Bison, 77-54, in the qualifying game Tuesday afternoon, February 28, at the District 5 Tournament from the Jamestown Civic Center. In the process, the Cards had to overcome a 15-point deficit as late as the second quarter, and trailed by a 32-27 count at halftime. Senior forward Hudson Schmitz achieved the personal milestone of 1,000 career points with a basket in the fourth quarter,...
The Independent-area District 5 teams had their first round of play at the opening postseason tournament Saturday, February 25, at the Jamestown Civic Center. Postponements related to the previous Region 3 Girls' Basketball Tournament pushed the start of the boys' district event back one day to Saturday, and moved the subsequent rounds to last Monday and Tuesday. Carrington, playing as the number two seed, took a 66-29 win over seventh-seeded Oakes, while the Griggs/Midkota Titans, seeded...
In the first quarter of their Region 3 semifinal, it seemed that when the Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier Rebels gave Carrington an inch, the Cards would take a mile. The Rebs were half a step slow in defending a four three-pointer barrage in the first eight minutes for CHS, and the Cardinal shooters were on fire in a 22-point period. But the law of averages being what they are, the Cards weren't going to shoot like that forever. And E-K-M's Mataeya Mathern and Kiara Jangula kept their squad afloat in...
The final game in Class B (in its current form) for the Carrington Cardinal girls went in the books as a triumph. It wasn't the storybook ending they pictured for the program in 2022-23, with that honor going to E-K-M in the championship game just under two hours later. Even then, the Cards walked off the Jamestown Civic Center floor for the last time with a 50-40 win over the Kidder County Wolves in the Region 3 Tournament third place contest. An evenly-played first quarter gave way to a big...
Many thought that the Four Winds-Minnewaukan Indians, after dropping their first game after winning 46 straight, would plow their way through the Harvey-Wells County Hornets for an easy victory, but HWC came to Fort Totten with an upset on their mind and to play well in their last regular season game of the season. After a close first half, the Indians outscored HWC, 21-11, in the third quarter, and held off the Hornets in the fourth for a 60-47 victory on Friday, February 24. Brock Fike got the...

Landin Clifton and Ridge Kramlich each clinched spots on the North Dakota team for the 2023 USA Wrestling Folkstyle Nationals in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Landin, the son of Jamie and Deb Clifton of Carrington, and Ridge, the son of Matthew and Julie Kramlich of Maddock, punched their tickets at the North Dakota national team qualifier Friday, February 24, at the Bismarck Event Center. Clifton took first place in the 12-and-under (12U) 75-pound weight class, while Kramlich did the same at 12U, 90...
Harvey-Wells County did what they had to do to earn a trip to the Region 4 Girls Basketball Tournament. A win in the play-in game against Dunseith gave the Hornets a chance to pull an upset in the regional tournament, but that was not to be, as they dropped the quarterfinal game to North Prairie 63-38, which ended their season. The Hornets will lose seniors Larissa Arnold, Emma Dockter and Aubree Wolfe from a team that finished the year at 8-15 overall, but improved throughout the year. HWC 55,...
M-P-B took care of business in the first two rounds at the District 6 Tournament in Hazelton, and made it to the top rung of the ladder to play for the tournament crown. The third-seeded Thunder got their 16th and 17th victories of the season by scores of 61-22 in the first round over Strasburg-Zeeland, and exacted some revenge for a one-point loss earlier in the season by knocking off #2 seed Linton-HMB, 59-55. The first round and semifinal rounds were played February 25 and 27, and the...
