For many years, humankind has quested for a machine of perpetual motion, something mechanized that would not stop moving. The first documented attempt comes from the Indian author Bhaskara around 1159. The machine was a wheel with containers of mercury around its rim, which was supposed to always maintain weight on one side as it spun, and thus keep moving. Many other attempts would follow, some to prove and some to disprove the possibility of such an invention. Friction and other forces...
Weird things can happen to a football team when offensive success almost becomes too easy. Carrington scored at will on their first four possessions in the first half Friday night, September 15, building up a 32-7 lead at one point, but the Grafton Spoilers had too many weapons to just lay down. Two-and-a-half quarters, and 47 combined points on the board later, the Cards sweated out a 53-33 pinball-style score in their 2023 Homecoming game at the newly-christened Cardinal Stadium (see related...
Harvey-Wells County scored 14 first quarter points and scored a touchdown in every other quarter, and the HWC defense held Park River Area to just a single touchdown in each of the final three quarters, as the Hornets claimed a 35-18 over the Aggies in a Homecoming game victory on Saturday, September 16, at L.C. Loerch Field in Harvey. The Hornets started the game with a 33-yard strike from Tallen Thorson to Keaton Keller down to the PRA 27-yard line. The big play was ever important, as the...
In danger of losing their first two District 5 matches, Carrington dug deep and got perhaps their most important win so far this fall on the volleyball court. Two very evenly-match-ed squads met in the Loboes' den in LaMoure, with valuable positioning and future tournament seeding on the line. And when the dust settled, the Cards prevailed in a five-set marathon over LaMoure/Litchville-Marion, 25-20, 18-25, 25-23, 24-26 and 15-8 last Tuesday night, September 19. Freshman Harper Kollman is...
Griggs/Midkota hoped that their win over BCN to start the league season in District 5 would spring them to a possible upset last Tuesday night in Cooperstown, but that was not to be. Despite playing well in the first set against the Edgeley-Kulm/Montpelier Rebels, the Titans learned, as two other district teams have so far, that the Rebs are not a squad with which to be trifled. The Titans fell to E-K-M by scores of 21-25, 14-25 and 13-25, which vaulted the visitors to sole possession of first...

After five weeks of play, the Griggs/Midkota Titans are still waiting to step into the winner's circle as it relates to the Friday night lights.
