On Sept. 24, the New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets (4-2,3-0) breezed past the Benson County Wildcats (0-6,0-2) for a 60-22 win, their fourth consecutive victory. Despite the lopsided score-line, NR-S once again got off to a slow start. On the Wildcats' first two drives, the Rockets defense was largely firm but made costly mistakes on fourth down, giving up a pair of avoidable touchdowns. Fortunately for NR-S, their offense wasn't so slow to start, and they were able to keep pace with the Wildcats in...
The Rockets traveled to Maddock on Tuesday, Sept. 28 to take on Super Region 4 competitors, the Benson County Wildcats, in their home gym. The Rockets rallied hard and brought home a 3-2 win against the Wildcats. The first set of the night was very rocky for the Rockets. Between hits going out of bounds, multiple errors and simply not covering the hitters or blockers, the Wildcats snuck away with a 25-20 win. The second set gave the Rocket fans some hope. With Kelsie Belquist being hot on her...

The recent mornings have brought a taste of the cool autumn air, mixed with the above-average summerlike afternoon temperatures that the region has been experiencing at the start of the season. In those chilly stretches around dawn, whether walking around the block with the dogs or running along the edge of town, I can sense the approaching pheasant season and the onset of October, despite the mercury later in the day getting into the 70s, 80s and even 90s. Thus, making for sweaty evening bow...
This will probably be my last Devils Lake fishing report until the upcoming ice fishing season. I will say this, if the open water season on Devils Lake is any indication on what this winter will be like, it's going to be epic! We have finally hit the fall transition. The leaves are changing along with the air temperatures, and with that the water is cooling down and the fish are a tad sluggish because of it. The funny part about these changes, it always seems the walleyes snap out of it in a...
Along with all the hunting seasons that come with it, fall also provides a chance to stalk a couple types of massive beasts long ago introduced to the great plains. But they don't possess paws with which to corral their prey, or hooves with which to make a quick escape, rather these creatures are two unique types of fish which provide an autumn opportunity that to many borders on obsession. Pure strain muskellunge, first stocked from waters to the east and north decades ago, and their...
