  • Rockets soar at Lloyd Memorial Meet

    Kyrie O'Connor|May 23, 2022

    The New Rockford-Sheyenne varsity and junior high tracksters battled the wind on Saturday, May 14 in Fessenden at the Lloyd Memorial Meet. The wind kept most athletes from finishing their events in state-qualifying times. But wind didn't seem to slow down NR-S track star, Kelsie Belquist. Although Belquist has state-qualified in eight events alone, she continues to better her times second by second. Belquist competed in the 100-meter dash, the 200-meter dash, and the 4x200-meter relay. Belquist...

All six of these student athletes are from ninth grade and under. The golf team also donned a new coach for golf; that being John Christiansen. Even though these golfers may be young, they are still...

With only a few track meets left before the state meet on May 26-28, track athletes have minimal time to earn state-qualifications.

  • Our Outdoors: Four Weeks

    Nick Simonson|May 23, 2022

    In good springs and bad, snowy ones and warm ones, no matter how the kids come out of the final day of competition in the USA High School Clay Target League's regular season, it's the four weeks in between today's end of the often chilly, windy, and trying eight weeks that make all the difference ahead of the state tournament. Whether with the first team in southwest Minnesota I helmed nearly a decade ago, or with the six pack of schools I coach along with 75 other adults now in central North...

  • The Peluso Report: Explosive Fishing

    Mike Peluso|May 23, 2022

    Boom goes the dynamite if you are looking for action! Early this spring I was questioning if we had a population of smaller fish. Well, I'm here to tell you we do! Unfortunately, I fear these are older fish finding very little to eat and not growing much. The bigger fish in the system seem to be doing just fine. Between herring, smelt, white bass, drum and definitely some of these smaller walleyes we are catching the big girls have plenty of food. The smaller fish, not so much. It is my opinion...
