Center Bronson Walter’s 24 points sparked the fourth-ranked Indians to a 67-56 win over the ninth-ranked Rockets this past Monday evening in Fort Totten, and gave them an early lead in the District 7 regular season race. The Rockets (7-2, 2-1 in district play) couldn’t withstand FW-M’s trademark pressure in the first half, as the Indians, still smarting from a last-second 58-57 loss at Hillsboro-Central Valley on Jan. 11, put together a 40-21 advantage at the half. In the final 16 minut...
A full day's worth of roundball action at the Devils Lake Sports Center and Sweetwater Elementary on Saturday, Jan. 12, was the drawing point for the annual Class B Day jamboree. Both NR-S Rocket programs were in action at the two venues, and each team came away with a victory over Region 2 opposition for their efforts. The Rocket boys' team continued rolling with a 77-47 rout of Park River/Fordville-Lankin, while the girls used a second-half surge to get past Cavalier, 52-43. NR-S, ranked 10th...
When everything comes together offensively, playing basketball can be a fun endeavor indeed, not to mention a treat for the fans. The newly-minted 10th-ranked team in Class B, New Rockford-Sheyenne, blitzed the Warwick Warriors out of the gates for 31 first quarter points, and kept up the tempo for a full 32 minutes to take a 96-58 rout Tuesday night, Jan. 8 in New Rockford. The District 7 opener for both teams featured a shooting exhibition from the Rockets, in which they connected on 12...
Others may get more of the publicity at times, but NR-S sophomore Dani Bjerke hasn’t necessarily shied away from the spotlight in the past when called upon for an offensive spark. Her game-winner in the 2018 District 7 Tournament first round this past Feb. over Lakota comes to mind, where the then-freshman buried a three-pointer to give the Rockets a 40-39 stunner against Lakota. Bjerke put together her biggest boxscore as a varsity player Friday night, Jan. 4, scoring 27 points to lead the R...
North Dakota’s unforgiving winter made a casualty out of the NR-S Rockets’ game with the May-Port-CG Patriots at Hillsboro Holiday Hoops, which was originally slated to be played on Dec. 27. The game involving the two opponents will not be made up, but a new school has stepped into place to fill that vacated slot on the Rockets’ 19-game season schedule. NR-S will face Region 2 opponent Hatton-Northwood on Tuesday, February 5. There will be five scheduled games with the Thunder, starting with...
After earning some respect from the Class B pollsters, the New Rockford-Sheyenne boys' basketball squad justified that appraisal of their level of play with an impressive victory at the Hillsboro Holiday Hoops jamboree Friday, Dec. 28. The Rockets took down a respectable opponent in the Central Cass Squirrels with relative ease, 82-62, thanks to dual 20-plus point outings by Teddy Allmaras (28 points) and Bo Belquist (21) in the Hillsboro High School gym. Hunter Thompson also played a strong...
One area football player stood head and shoulders above the rest, with the release of the All-Region 2 Team in the Nine-Man Football classification. New Rockford-Sheyenne's Teddy Allmaras was named the Senior Athlete of the Year for the region. It was impossible to ignore the stat lines from Allmaras, the Rockets' senior quarterback. The 5'11", 165-pound signal caller marched NR-S up and down the field to the tune of 2,240 yards passing and 35 touchdowns to just eight interceptions, and also rus...
