It was CHS's first win over the Miners in a span of 14 seasons, following a...
Even while giving up some big plays and sustained drives in the first half, the Griggs/Midkota Titan coaching staff infused their charges with confidence in the halftime huddle.

"I was really proud of these guys, as they fought hard for this one," G-M Coach Ryan Dockter said. "At the end of the day, I know we wanted it more than they...

With the move to three-division volleyball starting next year, the time is now for Carrington to make a lasting impression on District 5 and Region 3. The Cardinals finished at 25-10 last season, fourth in the region, and are aiming to end an 11-year state Class B tournament drought. Coach Megan Trautman may have the squad to do that this season, as she has seven seniors who have plenty of court and big match experience. "We have been working on settling into a groove so far with new assistant...
A play here and a play there in three games separated the Carrington football team from the "good enough" tier to positioning themselves into Class A's upper echelon. Even with those setbacks, the Cardinals still managed to accomplish their goal of a home playoff game with a 6-3 regular season record, the second Region 2 seed and the chance to knock off visiting Oakes in round one last October. That didn't quite come to pass, as they fell in 27-21 fashion to the Tornadoes and finished with six...
