Two programs fated to be part of the to-be-minted Region 2 of Division A next season got an early start on a new league rivalry Thursday night, February 16, in Thompson. Carrington's final regular season game pitted the Cardinals against a perennially-talented Tommies program with all the tools to compete for this year's Class B Region 2 crown. If not for a few hiccups, the Cards may have pulled off one of the team's bigger upsets in a few years, but witnessed the home squad make the plays late...
M-P-B enters the District 6 Tournament in Hazelton on the heels of one confidence-building victory, and a 26-point defeat at the hands of the 10th-ranked Class B team in the state. Gage Magstadt's big 23-point evening carried the Thunder to an impressive 60-38 win over Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier on February 16. M-P-B doubled up the Rebels at the half, 30-15, and kept up the pressure with a seven-point third quarter advantage. Josh Moser and Rylen Wick each had 12 points in the Thunder's scoring...
Harvey-Wells County has three seniors, and they continue to help the Hornets dominate the final games of the season. Tate Grossman scored 48, Gabe Allmaras 41 and Brock Fike 18 in HWC's two wins this past week, helping the Hornets solidify a #3 seed in the upcoming Region 4 basketball tournament. The three seniors have not only dominated the scoring column, they have dominated the boards and especially the offensive boards helping HWC to many second chance scoring opportunities. HWC has won six...
Carrington's planned Monday night, February 20 finale with Napoleon/Gackle-Streeter in the first round of the Region 3 Girls' Basketball Tournament in Jamestown didn't materialize. Instead, the winter weather demons had their say, and pushed the Cards/Imperials game to Tuesday afternoon, February 21, and did even more damage to the best-laid designs of statewide tournament organizers. It didn't end up throwing the Cards off too much, as they put together a workmanlike effort to dispatch N-G-S,...
It was enough of a chore for M-P-B to just get off uncontested shots in their 56-23 loss to the Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier Rebels in the Region 3 opening round. Following a semi-competitive first quarter, the Rebels blew the Thunder out of the water with a 22-2 run in the second quarter to win going away. Allison Thomas led the Thunder (11-12 for the year) with seven points. No other player had more than three for M-P-B. E-K-M (17-5) made use of the hot shooting hand of Kiara Jangula, as she scored...

Nearly 60 years after the last basketball season under three divisions in North Dakota went into the history books, and over several decades of speculation and debate on the topic, a three-class system will be returning in 2023-24. The North Dakota High School Activities Association (NDHSAA) Board of Directors, on a unanimous 10-0 vote, agreed to implement the plan that would create Divisions AA, A and B for basketball in the state. An amended motion to the plan, which states that the new...

Grand Forks' Red River High School hosted the East Region Girls' Wrestling Tournament, and Carrington did quite well against athletes from both Class A and B divisions. The Cards took home fifth place Friday, February 10, with a total of 127 points, and had a total of 10 qualifiers by virtue of wrestlers finishing in the top eight of their weight classes.

The final year of Class B basketball as North Dakotans presently know it, also sees the last year of an impressive run of sustained excellence. Carrington earned their latest trip to the Region 3 Tournament starting today (February 20) at the Jamestown Civic Center with a 49-23 win over Griggs/Midkota Monday evening, February 13. It marked the 21st consecutive year that the Cards have qualified for regional play under longtime Head Coach Andy Braaten, a streak that now ends with the program's...
Not to be harsh, but one could have built a sturdy mortar-bonded structure with the offerings Carrington was tossing up at the foul line and from the field in their District 5 semifinal against LaMoure/Litchville-Marion. The Cards hit barely over 25 percent of their free throws at 5-for-19, and empty-handed possessions in regulation and in the two overtime periods led to a 48-44 loss to the Loboes Saturday night, February 11, at the Jamestown Civic Center. "Our shooting struggles, especially...
Sixth-seeded Griggs/Midkota had some tough sledding in their first round loss to Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier at the District 5 Tournament in Jamestown, taking a 57-22 loss.

In opening round action, Vanessa Vollmer was the leading scorer for the Titans with six points, and Kaylee Johnson...
M-P-B's journey through the District 6 Tournament in Napoleon didn't make the ESPN SportsCenter Top 10 like Napoleon/Gackle-Streeter's overtime semifinal winner over Linton-HMB did. But the Thunder did enough without too much flair to earn qualification to the Region 3 Tournament, which starts today (February 20) in Jamestown. The Thunder will be the District 6 fourth seed following wins of 34-25 over South Border in first round play, and 51-34 at the expense of Strasburg-Zeeland in the region...
Save for one game, the Carrington Cardinals took care of business in the District 5 season. A 47-39 win over Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier in the East Gym on February 9 wasn't the most crisp performance by his team, but Coach Tim Ranum acknowledged the heightened urgency the late season games bring to the table. More importantly, it secured the number two seed in the District 5 tourney for the Cards, who improved to 11-7 and 5-1 with the victory over the Rebels. "It had kind of a postseason feel in th...
A 10-0 run late in the third quarter propelled the HWC Hornets to a 64-51 win over the New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets in New Rockford on Friday, February 10. The Rockets and Hornets played an even first quarter, with NR-S taking a quick 4-0 lead, but saw it evaporate quickly.

Harvey-Wells County got one of their most important wins this year, defeating the Dunseith Dragons by three and earning the Hornets a play-in game which was to be played in Harvey on Thursday, February 16. The Hornets also played what one would consider their best game of the season, falling to St. John by 10 in the final regular season game of the year. HWC 59, Dunseith 56 The Hornets scored 24 first quarter points and held off a valiant Dunseith comeback attempt in the fourth quarter to seal...
Griggs/Midkota fell in a closely-contested matchup with the Lakota Raiders, then got back on the winning track with a big victory over Hatton-Northwood in last week's play.
