As a program, the Carrington boys basketball team has made many visible strides in just one year's time, earning seven wins to date after just two the year before. One of those victims in 2023-24, the NR-S Rockets, made their own power surge, and sat ranked No. 5 in the Division B poll prior to their latest grudge match Thursday night, Jan. 9. An eventful back-and-forth game of runs and momentum swings ended with CHS senior Josh Bickett's clutch jumper with 2.4 seconds remaining, and he also blo...
An avalanche of offense was barreling down the mountain, and the Griggs/Midkota Titans were standing in its path. Carrington scored 26 points in the first quarter, and cruised to a 70-51 win over the Titans in inter-division boys basketball play Monday night, Jan. 13. Just as they did two games before, the Cards' perimeter shooting, keyed by six treys from Taylen Mehring, put G/M in a hole from which they couldn't recover. In the first quarter alone, Carrington connected on four threes, three...

In the process of earning their way back up the standings on the court, the Carrington Cardinals discovered their perimeter shooting. Over three days at the Ramsey County Tournament from the Devils Lake Sports Center Thursday-Saturday, Jan. 2-4, Coach Jason Otto's club buried their first two opponents, Nelson County and Griggs/Midkota, under an unrelenting hail of three-pointers on their way to wins of 66-40 and 63-40 in the first two rounds. Their luck from downtown didn't carry them all the...

The hits just keep on coming for the Carrington girls basketball program, though consistency in some areas remains a concern at times. In Region 2 play Friday night, Jan. 3, the Cardinals overcame a monumental struggle from the charity stripe to come away with a 45-34 win over the Hillsboro/Central Valley Burros. CHS shot just 5-for-21 from the line, making their efforts to defeat HCV for the second time this season that much more of a chore. The Burros forged a 34-34 tie with around five...

With three seconds left and a 63-63 deadlock, Carrington guard Isabel Wendel found the shot opportunity she wanted to provide. On the inbounds pass, she found Edyn Hoornaert for a three-point attempt, and the senior was fouled to give her a trio of chances at the charity stripe. The first two were off the mark, but the last one fell true, and the Cards celebrated a big win on the road over the Thompson Tommies, 64-63, on Friday night, Dec. 20. Hoornaert's final freebie gave her an even 20 points...
