  • Homecoming fever. . . CATCH IT!

    Erik Gjovik|Oct 3, 2022

    Big plays, sustained drives, stingy defense and clean play, along with the pageantry and excitement of Homecoming Week, all added up to a big victory for Carrington Friday night, September 23. In what was easily their best game of the fall six weeks in, the Cards took home a 28-6 win over the Park River Area Aggies, improved to 2-4 and suddenly are squarely in the Region 2 playoff conversation. Head Coach Kyle Smith couldn't have been any happier with how his team rose to the challenge. "It's...

  • Burros kick down Hornets

    Lane Moellenkamp|Oct 3, 2022

    Hillsboro-Central Valley (HCV) and Harvey-Wells County (HWC) played a great first half, but the visiting Burros got the most out of their second half scoring 22 unanswered points to leave with a 36-6 win at L.C. Loerch Field in Harvey, on Friday, September 23. HCV started quickly in this Region 4 matchup. The Burros forced a HWC turnover on the Hornets' first drive as Peter Dryburgh stepped in front of a screen pass and with the interception gave the Burros excellent field position. The Burros u...

  • In battle of birds, Carrington wins in 4

    Erik Gjovik|Oct 3, 2022

    With their starting setter busy lighting the State B golf world on fire (see related article on page 7), Carrington had a few early struggles getting consistent offense Tuesday night, September 27, against Ellendale. Even without the services of Kacie Rexin, Isabel Wendel filled in very capably in her stead with 30 assists, and the local Cardinals took a four-set win, 19-25, 25-10, 25-15 and 25-22 in the East Gym. In set one, the Cards had difficulty with Ellendale's height, led by middle...

  • Split for Thunder with win over Miners, loss to Lions

    Erik Gjovik|Oct 3, 2022

    M-P-B took their 11th victory of the season with a three-set win in Wilton over Wilton-Wing (25-14, 25-11 and 25-21), but the two-time defending Region 3 and Class B champions, Linton-HMB, stopped the Thunder in their tracks five nights later. Behind big kill nights from Maddie Gefroh (11) and Allison Thomas (10), the Thunder took a quick win in the non-region battle with the Region 5 Miners. Serving stars included Kalen Kinzell and Brynn Sorenson, each with three aces. Gefroh also had two...

  • Rocket netters take brooms to Hornets

    Lane Moellenkamp|Oct 3, 2022

    New Rockford-Sheyenne started strong and finished strong in this regional matchup, as the Rockets defeated Harvey-Wells County, 3-0, in Fessenden on Thursday, September 22. Kelsie Belquist got the Rockets started on the right track, as the junior had three kills early and NR-S took a 6-2 lead. Two kills from Aubree Wolfe and one from Larissa Arnold helped HWC stay close early, but the net play of Belquist, Ava Peterson and Lucy Meier propelled the Rockets to an 18-10 lead. Madisen Myhre had thre...

  • G-M swept by MPCG, blank Nelson Co. Chargers

    Erik Gjovik|Oct 3, 2022

    Sometimes, the records don't lie. The May-Port-CG Patriots have mostly rolled through the first half of their season schedule on the volleyball court, and their three losses this season have come to top-ranked and undefeated Northern Cass (twice) and two-time defending state champion Linton-HMB. So, the Patriots took on the Griggs/Midkota Titans at their alternate home in the Finley-Sharon gym, and showed why they could challenge for a state berth out of Region 2 with a quick 7-25, 10-25 and...

  • After sluggish start, HWC net crew battles Washburn

    Lane Moellenkamp|Oct 3, 2022

    Throw out the first set of this match, and you have yourselves a dandy high school volleyball game. Washburn cruised by HWC by 13 points in game one, and then outlasted the Hornets in extra play in the final three games to go on to a 3-1 victory Tuesday, September 20, in Harvey. Game one was a bit of a yawner, as the Cardinals started strong and stayed strong throughout. Washburn took an early 8-2 lead on kills from Molly Jennings and Monica Goven. HWC pulled to within four at one point on an...

  • National Newspaper Week is Oct. 2-8: Newspapers have never been more relevant

    Brent Wesner, National Newspaper Association|Oct 3, 2022

    We all have stories of readers desperately seeking reliable information, whether it be about COVID-19 during the pandemic or for a report of what's happening at city hall or the county courthouse. We at NNA see it in our daily government affairs work with members of Congress, who almost uniformly admire their local community papers regardless of how they might feel about the national press. We see it in the example of the civic leaders in Mineral Wells, TX, who were so distraught over the closing of their newspaper that they reached out to...
