    Jan 24, 2022

    BISMARCK, N.D. – Drivers interested in acquiring a commercial driver’s license (CDL) will be required to complete additional federal training prior to taking the driving test beginning Feb. 7. Entry-level driver training (ELDT) is a set of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) minimum training standards for commercial driver license holders and applicants. “This training course provides a nationwide standard to ensure that new drivers have the same minimum level of competence and safety,” said Brad Schaffer, North Dakota Dep...

  • Squirrels go nuts in sweep over Cards

    Erik Gjovik|Jan 24, 2022

    The yearly series between Carrington and Central Cass's basketball programs has gone back and forth over recent seasons, with one team or the other claiming supremacy, but mostly competitive. For the last few years, the pendulum has swung towards the Squirrels, and this year was fairly representative of that trend. The third-ranked Cass girls overcame a slow start in the first quarter and rolled through the final three periods for a 66-25 win. In the boys' game in the nightcap, the Cards gave...

  • Hornets' run sinks Raiders

    Lane Moellenkamp|Jan 24, 2022

    A 19-0 run by Harvey-Wells County in the third and fourth quarters propelled the Hornets to their first District 7 win of the season, as they defeated the Lakota Raiders, 55-42, Monday, January 17, in Lakota. Both the Hornets and Raiders played a close first quarter with HWC’s largest lead at 9-5, but that lead was only one at the end of eight minutes. The second quarter saw Lakota take an 18-15 lead, but HWC finished the half up on a 9-2 run courtesy of a three-pointer by Madden Thorson and deuces from Isaac Friese, Gabe Allmaras and Alex E...

  • Win, loss for HWC girls in District 7

    Lane Moellenkamp|Jan 24, 2022

    Harvey-Wells County held off a furious New Rockford-Sheyenne comeback attempt to claim their first District 7 win off the season. Earlier in the week, the Hornet girls played a solid first quarter, but Nelson County took control after that point to claim the victory. The Hornet girls have had games against Towner-Granville-Upham and Warwick postponed because of weather so far this year. The TGU game was made up on Saturday January 22, in Towner. Nelson Co. 49, HWC 30 Nelson County forced HWC int...

  • M-B-P splits in Medina vs. Ellendale Cardinals

    Jan 24, 2022

    The M-P-B girls’ and boys’ basketball teams were both in action on January 15 in Medina, taking on Ellendale in a doubleheader matchup of Region 3 programs. The girls had very little issue taking care of the Cardinals in a 70-24 win, behind Allison Thomas’ 20 points, but the boys couldn’t quite muster enough magic, falling to EHS, 67-52. Rylen Wick led the M-P-B boys with 15 points. Boxscores for the games are as follows: Nondistrict Girls’ Basketball M-P-B 70, Ellendale 24 at Medina Ellen. 8 9 6 1 24 M-P-B 29 10 20 11 70 M-P-B: Allison T...

  • Titans challenge H-N, but take 63-54 loss

    Erik Gjovik|Jan 24, 2022

    Like Rodney Dangerfield, the Hatton-Northwood Thunder girls' basketball team has their claim to "no respect." The 10-1 Thunder have methodically disposed of their court foes since a season-opening 10-point loss to Thompson, but still had not been among the teams receiving Class B poll votes when they faced Griggs/Midkota in Binford on Thursday, January 13. Asia Becherl's 21 points, along with twin 10-point evenings from Emma Kollman and Jenna Larson, were key for the Titans in their search of...

  • State JV/JH tourney in Cgtn. cancelled

    Erik Gjovik|Jan 24, 2022

    If it hasn’t been one thing, it’s another. For the third straight season, the planned State Junior Varsity/Junior High Wrestling Tournament in Carrington, slated for January 14-15, has been cancelled. This year’s event, like the inaugural tourney in 2020, was lost due to a winter storm hitting much of the state on January 13 and making travel to the Central City difficult to impossible. Along with most other multi-school events held during the 2020-21 season with the exception of the State...
