As postseason tuneups go, it was one that neither team would probably want to use as a springboard. New Rockford-Sheyenne played nondistrict opponent Medina/Pingree-Buchanan close for a majority of the first half, but the bottom fell out for the home team in the third quarter and the Thunder sent the Rockets into the tournament season with a 50-33 defeat last Monday night, Feb. 4. M-P-B, currently the third seed in District 6 with an 11-8 record, was cold from the field in the first quarter,...
The line between euphoria and deflation is often a thin one, and those conflicting emotions often play out in the high school sporting scene. New Rockford-Sheyenne played one of their better efforts in weeks in their 67-30 nonconference home win over Midkota on Friday, February 1, but it took heartbreak the night before to get the Rockets some extra motivation. The catalyst ended up being a two-point defeat to the Lady Bison of Barnes County North, 45-43, a game in which NR-S carried a...
The New Rockford-Sheyenne boys’ basketball team’s winning streak reached seven games, and the Rockets have won 10 of their last 11 with their most two recent victories over St. John and Hatton-Northwood.

At this time last season, the Woodchucks were hitting fifth gear, and their uptempo brand of basketball, hel...

Thanks to a generous donation from Grand Forks Freezeway, LLC, a Grand Forks Park District partner, the ice rink here in New Rockford will get a nice upgrade.

The value of the equipment is approximately $6,000, according to Dennis Nybo, New...
At the regular city commission meeting on Monday, Feb. 4, Auditor George Ritzke presented nine possible options for covering the annual loan payments for the water infrastructure project, each which includes sales tax funds, user fees or a combination of the two.

On the user fee side, Ritzke said the number of wat...
