  • Key runs help Cards get past DP

    Erik Gjovik|Dec 26, 2022

    It wasn't always efficient, but the Carrington Cardinal boys got the job done in the end in their third outing of the season. Behind senior Jack Erickson's 16 points, the Cards took home a 56-40 nonregion win over the visiting Dakota Prairie Knights in the East Gym Tuesday night, December 20. Erickson used his lanky, long-armed 6'2" frame to get to the basket on several trips down the floor courtesy of nifty backdoor passing plays. Forward Hudson Schmitz scored 12 points with a solid inside...

  • Rocket-powered rout

    Kyrie Dauenhauer|Dec 26, 2022

    The New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets hosted the Griggs-Midkota Lady Titans on Monday, December 19 for their first home game of the season. This season looks different for the Lady Titans, who are short a senior athlete. Three days into basketball season, Andie Anderson suffered a knee injury, which ended her basketball career as a Lady Titan. The Rockets were amped up and ready to take on the Titans. Out of the floodgates, the Titans were under full court pressure by the Rockets. This led to many...

  • G-M boys edge NR-S, 48-46

    Kyrie Dauenhauer|Dec 26, 2022

    Unlike the night before where the New Rockford-Sheyenne girls took down the Griggs-Midkota Lady Titans, 75-29, the matchup of the NR-S boys' basketball team and the Griggs-Midkota boys' basketball team was more of a nailbiter. Like a flash of lightning, they were off, as a three-pointer was swished by Brady Haugen for the Titans. Not even seconds later, another three swished, this time by Griggs-Midkota senior, Benjamin Edland. The Titans scored many points from beyond the arc throughout the...

  • CHS defangs 'Cats in twinbill

    Erik Gjovik|Dec 26, 2022

    Almost half a week's worth of being stuck in their houses, while over two feet of snow dumped on the state in some places, made the Carrington Cardinal basketball teams more than a bit stir crazy. The release of that pent-up energy showed in a Saturday, December 17, matinee doubleheader in the East Gym with nonregion opponent Benson County. CHS' girls started the afternoon with a 64-13 rout over the Wildcats to improve to 5-0 on the season, and the boys won their second game in as many outings,...

  • Cards struggle, edge FW-M girls

    Erik Gjovik|Dec 26, 2022

    Try as they might, the Carrington girls' basketball team couldn't find that extra gear to pull away from the Four Winds-Minnewaukan Lady Indians. Nursing a 12-point lead at one point, the shots went ice-cold for the Cards late, and FW-M hit a few clutch baskets to make it interesting, cutting down to a two-possession game late. Still, it meant Carrington's hot streak to begin the season remained intact, thanks to a 48-44 win over the Indians to improve to 6-0 on the season. "Our shooting was...

    Lane Moellenkamp|Dec 26, 2022
