In Linton Monday night, January 30, the M-P-B Thunder basketball teams were back in action for key District 6 contests with the Linton-HMB Lions. For both cases, it was disappointment, as the Lady Lions took a 47-38 win over the Thunder, and the boys' team edged M-P-B by the slimmest of margins, 60-59. The opener featured three Lion players carrying the scoring load, led by 17 points from junior guard Allie Dockter. Fourteen points came from Emma Weiser, and Jersey Vogel, a sophomore, had 11 to...
Griggs/Midkota had a sluggish push out of the starting blocks in their district game versus the E-K-M Rebels, but got progressively better as the game went on. The Titans overcame a nine-point deficit at the end of the first quarter, but fought possession by possession to take a 51-46 win over the Rebels in Edgeley on Saturday, January 28. Seven threes helped turn the tide for G-M, with sophomore Brady Haugen's 21 points and four treys proving decisive. Carter Spitzer had the other three long...

Tate Grossman scored 86 points in three Hornet victories this past week, as HWC moved to 9-4 on the season.

HWC 71, North Star 65 HWC scored the first 13 points of the fourth quarter, and turned a two-point deficit after three quarters into a 71-65 regional victory in Fessenden on Friday,...
Over two days at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks Friday and Saturday, January 20-21, the Carrington Cardinaires stepped on the competition floor five times. That was enough to make a lasting impression on the judges and allow the troupe to take home three more Class B category championships at the North Dakota Association of Dance and Drill (NDADD) State Dance Team Championship. The Cardinaires won high kick, pom and jazz, edging out Barnes County North and Central McLean (Underwood/Turtle...
The 2023 archery season has begun, and Independent-area archers set their benchmarks at the Kensal bullseye tournament on Jan. 21. Senior Gavyn Anderson led the Cardinal archers to a solid finish at the tournament. Anderson's score of 272 was fourth-highest among high school boys. Four other Cardinals also made the top 10 among high school boys: freshman Alex Braaten earned the same score as Anderson but had fewer tens, and thus finished fifth; Joe Lindberg claimed the #7 spot with a 266;...

Harvey-Wells County outscored Velva, 21-10, in the third quarter and then pulled away in the fourth to clinch a 64-50 win over Velva in a makeup game from late December. This game took place on Friday, January 20, in Harvey. Five players from each team scored in the opening quarter, which was tight throughout. The Hornets opened a slim 10-7 lead with a three from Brock Fike and a deuce from Gabe Allmaras, but Reggie Bruner's three quickly knotted the score at 10. Bruner's second three of the fir...
Two different schools took on the Carrington basketball programs Saturday afternoon, January 21, both looking to extend season-long undefeated status. The newly-minted #1 team in Class B girls, the Rugby Panthers, and the fifth-ranked Ellendale Cardinal boys almost got the bite from the upset bug. In this case, the term "almost" was the overriding theme, as the CHS Cards had third-quarter leads against Ellendale (by seven) and were within a possession of the Panthers at the start of the fourth....
Carrington's girls are just one win away from going unbeaten in their District 5 conference slate following two impressive victories this past week. On January 19, the Cards played the third of their four consecutive top 10 Class B poll opponents, the fifth-rated Oakes Tornadoes, and passed that test with a 59-48 upset win in Tornado Alley. A sustained defensive effort carried the day for CHS in the victory, and another balanced scoring sheet helped Coach Andy Braaten's ballclub get back into...

The final score was a 10-point win in the books for the Carrington boys' basketball team, 52-42. But that didn't begin to tell the full story of a whirlwind fourth quarter for the Cardinals that allowed them to come out on top against Barnes County North in Leal Monday night, January 23. "BCN is an aggressive team with a lot of athleticism from their guards, and they do a nice job of taking you out of your comfort zone offensively," said Head Coach Tim Ranum. "We did a nice job of attacking...
In late Tuesday night action, the Griggs/Midkota Titans got back in the winner's circle with a 57-50 win over Napoleon/Gackle-Streeter in boys' basketball to bolster their overall record to 4-9 for the winter campaign. M-P-B's girls' team ran into a buzzsaw, however, as the Kidder County Wolves utterly shut down the Thunder offense completely in a 51-19 loss to fall to 8-7 overall and 3-1 in District 6. KC remained unbeaten in league play at 4-0 and 11-3 overall. Boxscores from the two games...
The Carrington wrestling teams had numerous placers emerge from the two days of mat mayhem at the Nick Storhaug Invitational at Lisbon High School Friday and Saturday, January 20-21. Two individual championships, one apiece on the boys’ and girls’ sides, came the way of the Cards in the two-day event. The CHS girls scored 153 team points to place second, 18 points behind the Mandan Braves, and the boys took ninth with 89.5 points as the home Broncos won the meet, 260-220, over runner-up fin...
Like they did at the Stutsman County Tournament, the Griggs/Midkota Titans got off to a fast start against the visiting M-P-B Thunder in Glenfield on January 19. And history did end up repeating itself with the Thunder's response, with big second and third quarters to oust the Titans for the second time this season, 58-46. Josh Moser led M-P-B with 18 points, and Rylen Wick had another good game with 14 points. Gage Magstadt and Sawyer Wanzek also played valuable parts in the win with games of...
The season of streaks for the M-P-B Thunder girls continues, as they recorded their fifth straight win with a 67-49 District 6 win over the South Border Mustangs Friday, January 20, in Medina.

The Harvey-Wells County girls basketball team saw extensive action this week, having three games at three different locations. The Hornets lost to the Lady Indians of Four Winds-Minnewaukan in a closely-contested matchup in Fessenden, but picked up back-to-back wins over Velva in Harvey and Nelson County in McVille. As HWC continues to improve their ball handling and eliminating their unforced errors, we are seeing a team that is playing with passion and intensity. The Hornets look to continue t...

Carrington Cardinaire dancers in this row, left to right, Jazmyn Ybarra, Elayna Konschak and Tessa Mittleider, show their spirit in a kick line as part of the team's pom routine at halftime of last Tuesday night's boys basketball game against May-Port-CG. Other dancers in the background include Reagan Wolsky (behind Mittleider), Madalina Ciubotareanu and Tesslin Lura. The Cardinaires made their way to Grand Forks this past weekend for the North Dakota Association of Dance and Drill (NDADD)...
The length and height of the May-Port-CG Patriots caused no end of problems early for the Carrington Cardinal boys' basketball team Tuesday night, January 17. Even down 20 points in the third quarter, the level of fight in the Cards never dwindled, and they threatened to single digits on several occasions before ultimately taking a 65-53 loss to the Pats in the East Gym. The shooting stroke of MPCG's Xyler Carlson, along with the matchup problem presented by 6'6" guard Landon Koenig, was on...
Two top-10 squads entertained the Carrington Cardinals in their trip to Casselton for their annual twinbill with the Central Cass Squirrels. For the fifth-ranked Cardinal girls, it was a painful crash down to earth, as the furry acorn-hoarders knocked the Cards out of the tree of unbeatens with a 65-32 loss. It wasn't any better in the boys' game, with the second-rated Squirrels having their way with their CHS counterparts, 63-28. In game one, Carrington stayed somewhat close in the first...
Both the M-P-B boys and girls were in action for District 6 play, with their traditional neutral-court showdown with Strasburg-Zeeland at the Jamestown Civic Center last Tuesday night, January 17. And, as has been in recent years, the Thunder didn't have much difficulty with the Clippers, as the girls took a 56-16 win and the boys followed by taking the night game, 51-23. Isabel Schmidt, Allison Thomas and Lilly Bohl combined for seven treys and half of the Thunder's total scoring output,...
When the chance to prove yourself is given, you take it, and records can be thrown out the window. Carrington had an open date on their schedule with the decision to withhold their varsity from facing Barnes County North earlier in the week, and instead elected to take on the number one team in the state at Bismarck State College Friday night, January 13. The Kenmare/Bowbells Honkers needed a spurt to upend a Cardinal team still smarting from a 33-point loss to Central Cass the day before, and...
Doubleheaders were the in-thing for the Griggs/Midkota Titan basketball teams, and Griggs County Central High School was the venue for all four games played January 13 and 17 opposite District 5 opponents Ellendale and LaMoure/Litchville-Marion. The unbeaten Cardinal boys stayed that way with a 58-37 win over the Titans, but G-M used every ounce of their fighting spirit four nights later to nearly pull off an upset over the Loboes, ultimately going down to defeat, 48-44. Brady Haugen scored 13...
