In the dual portion of Carrington’s two-day wrestling extravaganza which ended with the Al Larson Carrington Invitational, the Cardinal boys and girls teams finished with an impressive collective effort. The CHS boys went 3-1 on the south mat in the East Gym Friday night, December 9, getting a big 40-36 Region 2 win over Pembina Co. North, and victories of 52-18 and 45-24 over Bishop Ryan and Napoleon. Their only loss came to the New Salem-Almont Holsteins, 48-36. In their first dual match as a...
Last year featured a bit of a learning curve for the Carrington Cardinals in a season just over .500 at 12-10, but four games in, this campaign already looks to be generating impressive returns from the team's young talent. The CHS girls made good on an early season statement victory, pulling away from then sixth-ranked Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier and taking a 71-57 upset in the championship game of the Stutsman County Tournament Saturday, December 10, at the Jamestown Civic Center. Carrington now...
On Monday, Dec. 13, the Carrington Cardinals opened their season with a 74-56 victory over the New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets. For the Cards, Monday's game showed plenty of promise for the season ahead, as four of their five starters scored double-digit points for the team. The Rockets, meanwhile, were hoping to get their year back on track after dropping their season and home opener to Thompson just days earlier. Instead, they left the court Monday with another loss and with hopes of their...
From 3-18 in 2020 to 7-14 in 2021 and 11-12 last season, the Carrington boys' basketball team has been trending upward as their current senior class has gained seasoning. Last season, the Cards fell in the Region 3 first round to Linton-HMB. Coach Tim Ranum hopes that this season is the one where they put it all together. "We're returning eight lettermen," said Ranum, "and have three guys who are all potential All-District caliber players." After the graduation of All-District selection Lucas...

The initial measuring stick for the nascent Carrington girls' wrestling program came at the Knights of Columbus Tournament at Jamestown High School's Jerry Meyer Arena Saturday, December 3. And if finishing third place to a combined squad of the three West Fargo high schools and the Jamestown Blue Jays (both Class A programs) by just nine total points was any indicator, it was a smashing success. The Cards scored 97 points at the K of C to outstride Des Lacs-Burlington in fourth and end the day...
Thirteen total Carrington wrestlers made their way onto the mats for the Velva Invitational, and the team came away with a seventh-place showing over the two-day meet held Friday-Saturday, December 2-3 in Velva.

The Cardinal boys had one champion, Trace Hoggarth at 126 pounds. Hoggarth got pins in his first four matches all the way to the finals, where...

The HWC girls basketball team picked up their first two wins of the year on their way to a third place finish at the Central North Dakota Conference Tournament in Harvey from December 1-3. The Hornets opened up with an exciting one with a two-point victory over New Rockford-Sheyenne, before losing a lopsided game to the Rugby Panthers in the semifinals. HWC rebounded and held off a late second half rally to defeat the Minot Sophomores in overtime, 55-54, to claim third place. The Hornets'...
The M-P-B Thunder put the opening brushstrokes on the canvas of what they hope is a great girls' basketball season with a pair of victories. In Glenfield Thursday, December 1, the Thunder doubled up on the Griggs/Midkota Titans, 60-30, and boarded the bus for the Linton Shootout the next day to take a 48-33 win over the Warriors of Standing Rock Community High School. In both games, junior guard Allison Thomas was the top scorer. Thomas had 18 points in the win at Linton, and finished with 11...

A potential seismic shift in the landscape of North Dakota high school basketball, as many have known it for more than half a century, has cleared a crucial hurdle. At the regular meeting of the North Dakota High School Activities Association (NDHSAA) board on Thursday, December 1, the governing body unanimously voted to formally accept a plan for a proposed three-class system that could be implemented by the 2024-25 school year, and possibly as early as 2023-24 if all preparations are in...

Carrington's boys wrestling team started off the dual portion of their 2022-23 schedule at Tornado Alley in Oakes Tuesday evening, November 22. When the last matches were in the books, the Tornadoes came out on top, 46-25, thanks to the home squad taking the last five matches with three pins, a forfeit and a decision. The Cards kept the dual close in the lower to middle weights, and earned pins from Dru Carr (120 pounds), defending state champion Trace Hoggarth (126) and Kael Kovar (160) for 18...

Action will start on Friday at 4 p.m. with Carrington taking on Pembina County North on the south mat at the East Gym, and New Salem-Almont facing Napoleon on the north mat.

The Carrington wrestling dual versus Hillsboro/Central Valley last Tuesday night, November 29, marked the first time that a Cardinal girls' wrestler took the mat in front of the home crowd against another girl in sanctioned varsity competition. Before the start of the boys' dual with the Burros, Mercedes Lura faced off with HCV's Crystal Magnuson, and would eventually emerge victorious with a pin. After the conclusion of the meet, Kylie Skadberg (not pictured) also got to wrestle against...
Carrington got their 2022-23 girls' basketball season going on the right foot with a good first quarter defensively, and kept up the pressure to take an 18-point win in Velva Tuesday night, November 29. In the 49-31 victory, the Cards hounded the Aggies into 31 turnovers though they committed 27 themselves, and maintained a healthy rebounding advantage to give themselves second-chance opportunities. "We had good effort on the boards, and hit some shots from the arc to build and maintain the...
For the Carrington girls' basketball program, campaigns like they had this past season haven't been standard operating procedure. 2021-22 was a rare "off" year by the team's standards, as they finished just two games over the .500 mark at 12-10 and took a 47-35 first-round loss to eventual Region 3 champion Linton-HMB to end their season. Andy Braaten, with a career record of 416-137, begins his 24th year behind the Cardinal bench, and hopes that the experiences of last season can spur the...
The Harvey-Wells County Hornets girls basketball team opened up the 2022-23 season with three solid quarters of play, but it was the Des Lacs-Burlington Lakers that scored the last eight points of the game and walked away with a 36-35 win over HWC on Tuesday, November 30 in Des Lacs. The Hornets and Lakers played an extremely close game from the start. The Lakers used two three-pointers from Logen Ystaas and one from Kaylee Werner, and the Hornets got five points from Emma Dockter and four more...

The Carrington wrestling programs began their season with the two-day Minot Early Bird Tournament Friday and Saturday, November 18-19. It marked the debut of the Cardinal girls' program, and the newly-baptized by fire contingent did quite well with three first-place finishes. All winning their brackets for the girls were Paige Studdard (125), Khendra Garcia (140) and Trisa Schroeder (145). Runner-up performances went to Kennedy Wendel, with just a loss to Schroeder at 145, and Ashley Lindberg in...
A groundswell of support for adding girls wrestling at Carrington High School, to bookend the longstanding Class B power boys program, started with one girl in particular speaking up. When junior Taya Lura, the younger sister of two past CHS state champions, Riley and Brecken, approached her fellow classmates about starting a varsity team, they listened. Eighteen interested participants later, the Cardinal mat girls are ready to step under the center light and into the circle this winter for the...
The enormity of the potential accomplishment for the Carrington Cardinal volleyball team was close at hand. Down two sets to the back-to-back reigning state champions in Linton-HMB, the Cards pulled off a comeback for the ages in the third and fourth sets, and were up 5-1 in the decisive fifth set, 10 points shy of the biggest, or at least the most emotional, victory in program history. However, the big game experience of the Lions shone through on the next critical seven point-run, capped by...
It isn't very often that the Carrington boys wrestlers have had to start mostly from the drawing board coming into a season. That is what awaits longtime Head Coach Josh Kerbaugh and his team as they hit the mats for the 2022-23 campaign. "On paper, this will be a rebuilding year, but we look forward to dealing with the hand we've been dealt," Kerbaugh said. "We graduated two state champions [Brecken Lura and Michael Clifton] and a runner-up [Matthew Duchscherer], so our young guys will have to...
