The New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets' volleyball team hosted the Thompson Tommies in their season opener game on Tuesday, August 30. This season looks quite different for the Rockets. Not only were they sporting their new jerseys, but there's also quite a few less girls on the bench. The team is made up of only eight girls, between the grades of 8-12. Although the team may be small, these girls play well together. The first set of the varsity game ended with Thompson winning 25-16. But this team...
Sunflower seed and hot cocoa season is back and better than ever. Well, besides the four letter word we all hate soon to be arriving. The junior high and junior varsity football teams kicked off their season on Monday, August 29 against the Four Winds/Minnewaukan Indians. Let's start with some junior high highlights. With only minutes into the game, eighth grader, Malaki Kukowski, pushed through the Indians' defensive line to sack their quarterback. This set the momentum for the Rockets....
The New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets took on the North Border Eagles on Friday, Aug. 26 for their 2022 home opener. After losing the first game of the season in McVille, the Rockets were hoping to bounce back the following week, and that's exactly what they did. In their loss to Nelson County, the Rockets struggled to find consistency on the ground, an area NR-S Head Coach Elliott Belquist said before the season would be a focus of their offense this year. But a rejuvenated run game against the...

Hunts are best viewed in hindsight. The thrill of the flush and the clamor of the shot often overpower the memory of the longer, quieter stretches of the walk leading up to those moments. But it is in that prologue to the excitement where we begin to realize what came together to make those thrilling instants happen. This autumn, as upland game season starting dates begin to peel off the calendar – starting with this week's mourning dove opener on Sept. 1 – keep in mind the big four for all upl...
Walleye fishing up on Lake Sakakawea remains insane this week, and Devils Lake also remains good. I keep waiting for a major slow down, but it just hasn't happened yet. Like I've talked about in past reports, the bulk of the walleyes are deep on Lake Sakakawea. Not all, but a vast majority are. If you are worried about the deep water walleyes, in the river section, the fish are shallower. The Aim Walleye and the Last Chance tournaments were both held on Sakakawea last week and the good results...
North Dakota's populations of mule deer heading into the start of archery season are doing well after weathering the rigors of this spring's late snow storms and the drought of 2021, and it is likely that a strong population of mature muley bucks will be available for those patient and cautious enough to spy them and sneak up on them, according to North Dakota Game & Fish Department (NDG&F) Wildlife Division Chief Casey Anderson. "Obviously with that drought we were a little skeptical on what wo...
It has been a good week for channel catfish on the Red River once again. There are lots of fish that are willing to play. Fish right in the middle of the river at the heads of holes or back in the middle of them. The catfish seem to not be liking the biggest deepest holes but more the ones that are three to six feet deeper than the flat running into them. Sit times must be at the very least an honest 20 minutes, even 30 to be safe. We have seen many spots that there are no bites at all until...
