Big plays, sustained drives, stingy defense and clean play, along with the pageantry and excitement of Homecoming Week, all added up to a big victory for Carrington Friday night, September 23. In what was easily their best game of the fall six weeks in, the Cards took home a 28-6 win over the Park River Area Aggies, improved to 2-4 and suddenly are squarely in the Region 2 playoff conversation. Head Coach Kyle Smith couldn't have been any happier with how his team rose to the challenge. "It's...
Hillsboro-Central Valley (HCV) and Harvey-Wells County (HWC) played a great first half, but the visiting Burros got the most out of their second half scoring 22 unanswered points to leave with a 36-6 win at L.C. Loerch Field in Harvey, on Friday, September 23. HCV started quickly in this Region 4 matchup. The Burros forced a HWC turnover on the Hornets' first drive as Peter Dryburgh stepped in front of a screen pass and with the interception gave the Burros excellent field position. The Burros u...
Griggs/Midkota dropped to 1-5 for the season and 1-2 in 9B Region 2 play with a 20-point loss to Hatton-Northwood Friday night, September 23. Statistics and summary from the game were not available....
With their starting setter busy lighting the State B golf world on fire (see related article on page 7), Carrington had a few early struggles getting consistent offense Tuesday night, September 27, against Ellendale. Even without the services of Kacie Rexin, Isabel Wendel filled in very capably in her stead with 30 assists, and the local Cardinals took a four-set win, 19-25, 25-10, 25-15 and 25-22 in the East Gym. In set one, the Cards had difficulty with Ellendale's height, led by middle...
M-P-B took their 11th victory of the season with a three-set win in Wilton over Wilton-Wing (25-14, 25-11 and 25-21), but the two-time defending Region 3 and Class B champions, Linton-HMB, stopped the Thunder in their tracks five nights later. Behind big kill nights from Maddie Gefroh (11) and Allison Thomas (10), the Thunder took a quick win in the non-region battle with the Region 5 Miners. Serving stars included Kalen Kinzell and Brynn Sorenson, each with three aces. Gefroh also had two...

New Rockford-Sheyenne started strong and finished strong in this regional matchup, as the Rockets defeated Harvey-Wells County, 3-0, in Fessenden on Thursday, September 22. Kelsie Belquist got the Rockets started on the right track, as the junior had three kills early and NR-S took a 6-2 lead. Two kills from Aubree Wolfe and one from Larissa Arnold helped HWC stay close early, but the net play of Belquist, Ava Peterson and Lucy Meier propelled the Rockets to an 18-10 lead. Madisen Myhre had thre...
Sometimes, the records don't lie. The May-Port-CG Patriots have mostly rolled through the first half of their season schedule on the volleyball court, and their three losses this season have come to top-ranked and undefeated Northern Cass (twice) and two-time defending state champion Linton-HMB. So, the Patriots took on the Griggs/Midkota Titans at their alternate home in the Finley-Sharon gym, and showed why they could challenge for a state berth out of Region 2 with a quick 7-25, 10-25 and...
Throw out the first set of this match, and you have yourselves a dandy high school volleyball game. Washburn cruised by HWC by 13 points in game one, and then outlasted the Hornets in extra play in the final three games to go on to a 3-1 victory Tuesday, September 20, in Harvey. Game one was a bit of a yawner, as the Cardinals started strong and stayed strong throughout. Washburn took an early 8-2 lead on kills from Molly Jennings and Monica Goven. HWC pulled to within four at one point on an...
Not so long ago, when the old Stadium '76 bleacher section still stood, the Grafton Spoilers got two late scores in rapid succession to prevent a Carrington win. This year, with both programs now mired at the bottom of the Region 2 table, it was the Cardinals' turn to return the favor. After watching the Spoilers come back from a 14-point deficit to tie the score in the final minutes, CHS broke the deadlock, then got an emphatic interception return for a score to seal their first win of the 2022...
Good feelings, which have been in short supply thus far for the Griggs/Midkota Titan football program, rose to the surface following a 24-0 blanking over the Enderlin Eagles Friday, September 16, to give G-M their first win this season. In fact, it was the Titans' first victory in a 12-game span, dating back to October 16, 2020, when they defeated Finley-Sharon-Hope-Page, 26-22, in the final week of that season. Titan sophomore quarterback Brady Haugen scored all three touchdowns. He scored...
The HWC Hornets' football playoff dreams remain alive, albeit small, but still alive after the Hornets defeated the Park River Area Aggies, 28-12, at A.G. Strand Field in Park River on Friday, September 16. The Aggies and Hornets had a rough start, as far as turnovers, in this Region 2 battle. The Aggies started the night going to the passing game, and Jadyn Vollmer made sure that that part of their game would not get a solid start as the junior had an interception on the first play of the...
For New Rockford-Sheyenne's Homecoming 2022, the Rockets hosted Carrington on Thursday, September 15, and the two historical rivals gave the paying customers in the NR-S Gym a great show. With the recent rotation change, the Rockets thought they would finally have the chance to beat the Cardinals. But to no avail, the Rockets just couldn't defeat them, falling in a five-set epic to the Cards, 26-24, 25-20, 23-25, 15-25 and 11-15. Before the start of the game, varsity players from both NR-S and...
Medina/Pingree-Buchanan played some of their best volleyball of the season over the span of a few Saturday hours, and brought home some shiny medals as a result of it. The Thunder went 5-1 at the Valley City Optimist Tournament Saturday, September 17, to take second place overall and improve to 10-6 for the fall campaign. M-P-B's lone loss in the six matches came to unbeaten Northern Cass in the championship, by a very respectable final tally of 25-20 in both sets. On their way to the finals, M-...
The Carrington Cardinals shot a score of 388 to take third place at the Region 2 tournament at CrossRoads Golf Club Friday morning and afternoon, September 16. Carrington's showing was 44 strokes behind regional champion Fargo Oak Grove's winning tally of 344, while the Kindred Vikings (350) were six shots behind the Grovers when all cards were tabulated. The Cards' Kacie Rexin dropped one place off her runner-up region finish from last year, taking third, but improved by five strokes from that...
The Griggs-Midkota Titans won a tight third game, 25-23, and took the steam out of HWC defeating the Hornets, 3 sets to 1 in Fessenden on Thursday, September 15. In the first of three close games to start the match, the Hornets found themselves out front, 14-9, courtesy of kills from Christalea Wagner and Ashley Keller. The Titans, behind the heavy hitting of senior Asia Becherl, stormed back to tie the game at 14 with the help of kills from Becherl and Andie Anderson. Emma Dockter smashed down...
One of the larger meets of the season so far had several lightning-related delays, but once the starter's gun went off and the skies cleared, it was smooth sailing at Valley City's Bjornson Golf Course for the Blue and White Invitational Saturday, September 17. Carrington, Griggs/Midkota and HWC all attended the meet, which also featured many Class A schools. The Cards placed ninth overall in both the boys' and girls' varsity races with 270 and 290 points, while the Titans' numbers in the boys'...
Consistency from point to point can be a challenge at times for the Carrington Cardinals. However, in two sweeps for the Cards over Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier and Park River/Fordville-Lankin, their fight and resilience was on full display. Coming back from deficits of 7-1 and 14-3 in the two matches wasn't easy, but CHS accomplished that in wins against the Rebels (25-19, 25-18 and 25-22) and the Aggies (25-15, 25-14 and 25-20). With the victories, the Cards sit at 1-0 in the district and 3-1...
M-P-B had a good start to the week, taking a four-set win over Ellendale on September 8, but were unable to pull out the all-important District 6 opener against South Border. The Thunder rode three players with double-digit kills to the victory in Dickey County, 25-21, 25-16, 25-27 and 25-14. Allison Thomas' 17 kills led the way, with Maddie Gefroh also providing presence with 15 kills and freshman Brynn Sorenson adding 10 more to the tally. In back row play, Alaina Bosche's 40 digs led the...
The scheduling gods may have been particularly unkind to the Carrington Cardinal football team. Of the four teams in Class 11B Region 2 that the Cards have faced, three of them are currently at the top of the standings, with an 11-1 combined record. That stretch continued Friday night, September 9, as undefeated Thompson rolled into Stadium '22 and took down CHS, 36-14, behind a balanced attack that netted the Tommies 405 yards of total offense. However, the quality of opponents Carrington has...
Struggles for the Griggs/Midkota Titans continued with a 49-0 loss in Cooperstown Friday night, September 9, to 9B Region 2 frontrunner May-Port-CG. The Patriots improved to 4-0 and 1-0 in Region 2 with the win, while G-M remains winless at 0-4 and 0-1. MPCG raced out to a 24-0 lead after the first quarter, thanks to a pair of touchdowns by Xyler Carlson. His first score covered two yards and he returned a Titan fumble for 67 yards, and Ethan Bergstrom added another six-yard score. The other...
The Bottineau Braves had a total of 476 yards and scored on drives of two plays or less three different times on their way to defeating the Hornets by 26 points on Friday, September 9, at L.C. Loerch Field at Veterans Memorial Park in Harvey. There were fireworks everywhere to start the game. Bottineau started the scoring on the first offensive play of the game as Ryler Pollman found Khaliel Abdurrahman on a 51-yard scoring strike and with the PAT run by Jacob Shriver, the Braves led 8-0 with ju...
CrossRoads Golf Club welcomed the rest of Region 2 membership to the second individual qualifying meet of the girls golf season Wednesday, September 7. The Carrington Cardinals were unable to gain any new qualifiers at the meet, though Kacie Rexin matched her state-clinching effort from earlier in the season with an 82 over 18 holes. To earn an individual berth in the state tournament, golfers must shoot a score of 87 strokes or less in designated qualifying events. Other Cardinal varsity player...
Griggs/Midkota earned a four-set victory over Barnes County North, 25-17, 25-22, 20-25 and 25-20, to earn their first District 5 victory this fall.

Also in the win, setters Ryan Johnson and Isabelle Kraft combined for 27 assists (19 for Johnson), and libero Vanessa Vollmer led the Titans with 21 digs. Andie Anderson had 15. Jayden Samek...
