The Carrington boys wrestling team, save for their efforts with the championship opponent, had a very strong performance at the Region 2 Dual Tournament in Larimore Saturday, February 3. CHS finished as the runners-up at the tournament to meet winner Northern Lights, competing in Region 2 for the first time following realignment prior to this season. In round one, the Cards took a 42-8 win over the host Polar Bears. Coach Josh Kerbaugh's team dropped just two matches in the dual, which had four...
By the luck of the schedule, the Carrington girls basketball team faced the top-rated squads in both the A and B divisions in back-to-back games February 1 and 6. And the Cardinals showed that with the breaks going their way, they can compete with any squad in the state, if not outright come away with the win. Those outcomes came to pass in a closely-contested 54-48 loss to undefeated Division A top team Thompson, and they played some of their best basketball of the year in an eye-opening 54-45...
Obviously, it's little consolation now, but the Ellendale Cardinals exacted a small measure of vengeance on the Medina/Pingree-Buchanan Thunder for their epic 57-56 Region 3 championship defeat last March. Now District 2 rivals, Ellendale got out to a sizable lead before M-P-B closed in on the Cardinals in the fourth quarter, but the host team got past the Thunder, 53-49, on Friday, February 2. Six-foot-eight junior forward Kade Schimke had 16 points for Ellendale (11-5, 6-2 District 2)....
Region 1 and Region 2 representatives of Division A met on the basketball court for the first time in a long while Monday night, February 5. The Lisbon Broncos came to the East Gym for a rare roundball clash with the Carrington Cardinals, and took a 60-38 win to improve to 7-8 on the season. Carrington got a 4-0 lead to begin the game, however, the Broncos established control from that point on thanks to seven first quarter points by 6'1" junior guard Lincoln Adair. He would end the night...
Carrington didn't have their A-game, at least as far as long-range shooting was concerned, but that was good enough Friday, February 2. While the armchair meteorologists were celebrating the groundhog's forecast of an early spring, the Cardinal defense made the HWC Hornets see their shadow and gave the home team a 55-27 victory in A-B interdivisional play at the East Gym. No Cardinal players scored in double figures, as scoring leadership was shared by both Edyn Hoornaert and Madison Johnson...
New Rockford-Sheyenne was raring to go this winter following a second consecutive taste of tournament success in the volleyball season. However, that hasn't exactly translated to momentum for the winter basketball battles, as the Rockets stumbled out of the blocks to a 3-7 start. With a 55-39 win over M-P-B in Pingree last Monday night, February 5, NR-S garnered their fourth straight win, improved to 10-9, and entered the District 4 Tournament February 9 on their home floor as the number three...
Twelve years after the Carrington Cardinaires made history at the North Dakota Association of Dance and Drill (NDADD) state championship by winning an unprecedented four-event sweep, they did it again. The 2024 version of what has become Class B's premier dance troupe equaled the exploits of the 2012 team by winning the high kick, hip hop, pom and jazz categories at this year's competition, held at the Minot State University Dome January 26-27. It was the third time overall that the Cardinaires...
The shots weren't going down for Carrington, but their pressure on the defensive side frustrated the M-P-B Thunder all evening long in the East Gym Thursday night, January 25. In a cross-Division A versus B matchup, the Cardinals held the Thunder to 11 points in the first half and 10 in the second for a comfortable 50-21 victory. Junior Edyn Hoornaert posted a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Madison Johnson's stat line was well-rounded with nine points, five rebounds, four steals...
The focus now for the Carrington Cardinal boys is to continue making improvement, and to keep spirits up heading into the postseason wars. The Cards went down to defeat in their two most recent games, a 64-44 loss to the Northern Cass Jaguars in Hunter on January 26, and a 72-40 Region 2 loss to Thompson last Tuesday in the Tommies' gym. Josh Bickett led Carrington (1-12, 0-5 Region 2) in scoring in both contests, finishing with 15 points against Northern Cass and 13 in the Thompson game. Senior...
A past New Rockford-Sheyenne school district resident played the biggest role for the Griggs/Midkota Titans in defeating his boyhood classmates. James Woodstead went for 21 points in helping the Titans surge past the Rockets, 61-49, in a District 4 contest at Glenfield Tuesday night, January 30. G-M held on to a slim two-point lead going into the fourth quarter, before Latrell Rainey came alive for eight of his 13 points. Woodstead also had six in the stanza, and Will Spickler accounted for the...
M-P-B has been in the conversation for several District 2 victories this past girls' basketball season, but it hasn't translated to actual tallies in the win column. Their final league outing of the season was, sadly, no exception, as the visiting Kidder County Wolves withstood a second-half comeback from the Thunder and held on for a two-point win, 45-43, in Medina Monday, January 29. With the defeat, M-P-B finished their district contests with a 2-6 record, and sit at 4-14 with just their...
The traditional end to the wrestling individual tournament regular season came and went at the East-West Tournament in New Salem January 26-27. The event brings the best Class B male wrestlers from the two longitudinal directions under the Holsteins' "barn", for one last head-to-head chance before overall seeding is determined. At East-West, the Cards came in ninth with 98 points, and had two runner-up wrestlers in Dru Carr (114) and Corbin Clifton (145). Three other CHS grapplers came in fourth...
In their final regular season tournament of 2023-24, the Cardinal girls wrestlers finished in a 10th-place tie at the 42-team Belle of the Brawl at Central Cass High School in Casselton January 26-27.

Carrington High School graduate Payton Smith has a clear vision in front of him, and he knows very well how to pursue it. The son of Kyle and Layne Smith is currently pursuing a double major in Psychology and Exercise Science at NDSU, all the while excelling on the Bison cross country and track teams. Smith was named as the NDSU Male Athlete of the Week for the week of October 16-23, after leading the Bison to a 7th place finish out of 30 teams at the Bradley Pink Classic in Peoria, Ill. As one...
Physical therapy can go a long way in improving adults' quality of life, helping to eliminate unnecessary pain, and keeping a stable sense of well-being. It's not just the grownups that need the benefits of freedom of movement, however. Since August of this past year, Amy Richter has been on staff at Summit Physical Therapy and Sports Performance as a pediatric physical therapist (DPT), focusing her energies on kids from just several months of age up to 15 years old. A native of the small northw...
At a special meeting of the Carrington School District Board of Education Tuesday afternoon, January 23, the district opened bids for the window replacement project on the east side of the high school building. Only one bid was received at the meeting, that coming from TF Powers Construction Co. of Fargo. The firm submitted a bid of $492,200, a figure which came as a shock to school board members. Another potential bidder on the tabulation summary list, Meridian Commercial Construction, also of...
The Carrington Cardinals got their Division A, Region 2 doubleheader on Thursday, January 18, rolling with a 36-point win in the girls' game over the Grafton Spoilers, 59-23. After that, the visitors were in no mood to play around, and the fourth-ranked Spoiler boys exacted the frustrations of their first loss of the season to Devils Lake in the previous game on the Cards, in a 91-34 defeat in the nightcap. In game one, CHS played perhaps their best defensive effort of the season, holding...
The M-P-B Thunder girls basketball team took on two District 2 opponents for a pair of games January 19 and 23, traveling to Strasburg to take on the S-Z Clippers, and coming home to Medina for a game with Napoleon/Gackle-Streeter. In the first game, the Thunder had their chances, but couldn't overcome Addison Wagner's 22-point night for the Clippers in a three-point defeat, 43-40. Wagner, a senior, put pressure on the Thunder all game long with her aggresiveness inside, and cashed in from the...
After years of being among the small fish in the Class A ocean, the Devils Lake Firebirds are now the Division A middle class's big men (and women) on campus. So, the Carrington Cardinals are busy trying to adjust to life as the plucky underdog themselves. The Cards and Firebirds met for Region 2 games Monday and Tuesday, January 22 and 23, with the boys playing in Carrington and the girls in Devils Lake. In the Monday game, the talent of the bigger school won out again and again in a 77-31 win...
Medina/Pingree-Buchanan, playing without their top offensive player, still managed to get one win in two District 2 matchups this past week. With senior Rylen Wick on the shelf due to injury, the Thunder took a 41-28 win on January 18 in Medina over the Kidder County Wolves, and fell to seventh-ranked Linton-HMB on the road, 60-46, this past Monday, January 22. In the low-scoring opening triumph, Terek Kinzell's 13 points provided the exact margin of victory for the Thunder against KCHS. Collin...
Griggs/Midkota gave up a fourth-quarter surge to Warwick to fall to the Warriors, 71-61, but created second-half magic with a 20-0 third quarter to blow open a five-point deficit and fly past Hatton-Northwood in Hatton by a 56-28 score in their two latest District 4 games. The Titans, with the split, now have an overall record of 5-6 and 1-1 in the district table. James Woodstead led G-M in both games, scoring 20 points in the Warwick loss and 18 in the win over H-N. During that stretch,...

In the olden days before the three-division split, namely just last year, the Carrington and Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier girls could be counted on to provide some of the most entertaining and spirited games in the District 5 season. The stakes are much lower now, as this year's tussle of the Cards/Rebels was merely a non-conference game between Division A and B schools and not the grudge match of past campaigns. Both teams proved that the competitive juices still flow in Edgeley Saturday, January...
The Carrington girls basketball team is taking advantage of doing a bit of in-person scouting of Region 1 teams they could meet in a hypothetical Division A state tournament play-in situation. After defeating league leader Valley City earlier this season, the Cards took on the number three team currently in the opposite region's standings, the Northern Cass Jaguars. With some of their trademark balance and another good night from the stripe, Carrington went home happy about their chances with a...
