One team was looking to maintain positive momentum into the postseason, while another was in need of a confidence booster against a quality opponent. The NR-S Rockets, still licking their wounds after a 31-point loss to Langdon/Edmore/Munich two nights prior, entered their makeup game with rival Carrington with the intent of playing good basketball even if they failed to spring the upset. On that count, the Rockets are still looking for answers, with not much time before the start of the Region...
The New Rockford-Sheyenne boys' basketball team hosted the Super Region 4 Lakota Raiders on Thursday, Feb. 2. Before we get into the varsity game, there is something important to talk about from the junior varsity game. NR-S senior, Haydon Meier, stepped onto the court after suffering from a tibia/fibula fracture that occurred during the NR-S versus North Star football game on September 23, 2022. Meier has put in many months of rehab and lots of hard work to be able to be back on the court,...
Yet another home archery tournament is in the books for NR-S. A total of 275 archers representing 14 schools met in the New Rockford-Sheyenne School Gym on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 3 and 4.

Carrington had their chances to make the State B Dual Tournament with either a championship or runner-up finish at the Region 2 championships in Harvey. However, a painfully-close 36-33 loss in the semifinal round to the Pembina Co. North Grizzlies meant that the fate of that tournament berth was temporarily in others' hands. If PCN were to advance to the finals and upset top seed Central Cass, that would have allowed the Cards to challenge the Squirrels for the final spot. Unfortunately for...
In recent weeks, I've been writing about the origins of the Eddy County Museum, and by extension the Pioneer Daughters Club. I am aware however, that there is another event that I have failed to include- the county's Diamond Jubilee in 1958. I learned about this event a couple years ago while I was digitizing photos. If there ever was a photographically documented event in Eddy County's history, the Diamond Jubilee is it. Through these photos we can clearly see the celebration of history...

There are ways around it – you can celebrate with a card (thanks, Hallmark) or Go for the Gold, literally, with jewelry. Flowers are perfect for some. But the most iconic, sweetest way to show affection is with a heart-shaped box of chocolates. Valentine's Day has a long history that evolved into the sharing of gifts and cards, but the first elaborate b...
