To help you choose a quality stair lift that meets your needs and budget, here are a few shopping tips along with some top-rated...
The Carrington offense has been equal parts Road Runner and Houdini over the first four weeks of the fall football season. As in, getting their athletes in space to make big plays happen, and making use of some sleight of hand with misdirection to create even bigger chunk plays. Coach Kyle Smith's Cards made the first switch flip play on defense, though, and that got the visitors going for good with a surprisingly-efficient 45-15 win over the Thompson Tommies in the Red River Valley Friday...
By necessity, the Griggs/Midkota Titans have had to earn an education on the football field the hard way. Now down two quarterbacks after an injury to starter James Woodstead, the Titans turned to their third signal-caller in freshman Trace Spickler. Spickler did very well in his starting debut, going 12-for-18 for 100 yards, but G-M dropped their fourth straight game to start the season, 37-6, against the LaMoure/Litchville-Marion Loboes. The game at Townsend Field in LaMoure was an...
The old saying "defense wins championships" seemed appropriate for the play on Friday, September 8, in Bottineau as the Hornet defense helped overcome seven HWC turnovers holding the Braves to just a touchdown in a 7-6 region victory. To say the defense won a championship is a bit premature, but in this case, they did step up and win this ever-important Class A Region 2 matchup with a once-defeated Bottineau team. The Hornet defense kicked it up a notch and stopped a Brave drive inside the HWC...
The question for Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier's girls volleyball program was never the athletic talent, or the desire. It was getting past the "Big Three" in District 5 competition, which for the past few years, has been some combination of LaMoure/Litchville-Marion, Oakes, or Carrington. The Rebels completed one part of that progression Thursday night, September 8, taking a surprising 3-0 sweep over Carrington in the district opener by scores of 25-21, 25-19 and 27-25 in the East Gym to improve to...
At a special meeting of the North Dakota High School Activities Association held via Zoom call on Tuesday, September 5, the Board of Directors unanimously voted to approve a three-division volleyball system, which will largely follow the framework of the basketball plan passed previously by the NDHSAA. The system will take effect beginning in the 2025-26 academic year. Basketball's three-division system begins this winter. Similar to the basketball plan, passage of the volleyball plan required...
Senior Kacie Rexin was one of just four golfers to achieve the individual state qualification standard at the second Region 2 individual qualifying meet in Cooperstown Friday, September 8. Rexin shot a score of 80 (40 on the front and 40 on the back nine) on the nine-hole Cooperstown Golf Course to hit the automatic standard for the State Class B meet for the second time this season. She did the same at Hillsboro on August 28. Her score was two shots back of medalist Avery Bartels of Kindred,...
M-P-B got back into the winner's circle following a mini two-match losing skid, taking three straight sets over the Ellendale Cardinals Thursday night, September 7, in Pingree, and getting off on the right foot in District 6 last Tuesday, September 12, with another three-set win against South Border. Brynn Sorenson led three Thunder players in double figure kills with 17, followed by Maddie Gefroh's 11 and Allison Thomas's 10. Violet Bohl had 29 assists, and Alaina Bosche found the opposite...
Harvey-Wells County put together some solid volleyball against a younger, less experienced Kidder County team, defeating the Wolves in four games in non-region action on Tuesday, September 5, in Steele. HWC got behind early in game one, trailing 6-1. Four kills from Rachel Neumiller helped the Hornets go on a 11-1 run. Neumiller had seven kills in the first game, and along with two kills late from Ashley Keller, HWC claimed the first set, 25-18. The youthful Wolves gave HWC some fits in game...
