  • Quick learners: Cardinal girls runners-up at East Region duals

    Erik Gjovik|Feb 13, 2023

    On occasion, the significance of the moment finds the unlikeliest of heroes. In the inaugural East Region Girls' Dual Wrestling Tournament, competitors from first-year program Carrington got a crash course in the emotions and sense of accomplishment that a well-fought match can bring out. CHS's Ashley Lindberg lived that euphoria following three minutes and 36 seconds of tension on the mat. With her team trailing the Fargo Stingers in the opening round, 40-36, Lindberg put on the headgear and...

  • Boys 3rd at Region 2 duals

    Erik Gjovik|Feb 13, 2023

    Carrington had their chances to make the State B Dual Tournament with either a championship or runner-up finish at the Region 2 championships in Harvey. However, a painfully-close 36-33 loss in the semifinal round to the Pembina Co. North Grizzlies meant that the fate of that tournament berth was temporarily in others' hands. If PCN were to advance to the finals and upset top seed Central Cass, that would have allowed the Cards to challenge the Squirrels for the final spot. Unfortunately for CHS...

    Lane Moellenkamp|Feb 13, 2023

    The HWC boys basketball team played another stellar schedule this week, with three games against quality opponents.

Upcoming action has the Hornets paired against NR-S and Warwick in more super regional action, determining postseas...

  • Cards' 10 threes blow down Hornets in CHS' season finale

    Lane Moellenkamp|Feb 13, 2023

    The HWC girls' basketball team continues to improve on the season, although their season record may not reflect that improved play. The Hornets picked up their third regional win this past week with an outstanding offensive and defensive effort against North Star on the road. The win moves them to 3-5 with just two games remaining in regional play. HWC ran into a very hot Carrington team this past Monday, as the Cardinals hit 10 three-pointers in the game, including eight in the all-important...

  • Cards stifle NR-S girls, 50-20

    Erik Gjovik|Feb 13, 2023

    One team was looking to maintain positive momentum into the postseason, while another was in need of a confidence booster against a quality opponent. The NR-S Rockets, still licking their wounds after a 31-point loss to Langdon/Edmore/Munich two nights prior, entered their makeup game with rival Carrington with the intent of playing good basketball even if they failed to spring the upset. On that count, the Rockets are still looking for answers, with not much time before the start of the Region...

And the undefeated Bulldogs remained that way, riding a 13-point advantage after the end of the first quarter to leave town with a 58-42 victory over CHS. Carter Hosford led Sargent Co. (15-0) with 16 points, and Luke Martinson...

  • Thunder falter in loss to South Border; rebound with win over N-G-S

    Erik Gjovik|Feb 13, 2023

    At the top of District 6, it certainly appears that the upcoming tournament wars will likely come down to the wire, with three teams going tooth and nail for that all-important top seed in Region 3. With a 59-54 win over the M-P-B Thunder on February 2, South Border showed they belong in the conversation of the district's contendership short list.

The opponents had a combined record of 21-8, and both the Cardinals and the Wolves are considered as top contenders in their respective regions. The Hornets dropped both games by considerable margins, but hopefully gained some valuable experience during their play. L/E/M 70, HWC 25 A 14-0 start...
