The New Rockford-Sheyenne girls basketball team traveled to Rugby on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Dec. 2-4, to compete in the annual CNDC tournament. The Rockets started off the tournament slow. The Lady Raiders from Drake-Anamoose came out of the gates ready to win. The Rockets, on the other hand, simply didn't have one of their better games. With senior starter Mya Cudworth out due to an ankle injury, eighth grader Ava Peterson would take her place in the starting lineup. Drake-Anamoose...

Seven matches in the space of two days is a tall task for any individual wrestler. That’s what awaited much of the 17-team field at the Velva Invitational Tournament Friday and Saturday, Dec. 3 and 4. However, the Carrington Cardinals powered through that early conditioning test, winning four weight classes and advancing to two other championship matches to score 373 points for the team title. Minot Bishop Ryan, with 326 points, came in second and Northern Lights (Rolla/Rolette/St. John) scored...
The ice fishing market has exploded in the last twenty years. Where once only a couple of companies dominated the auger, fish house, and sonar categories when I started this column detailing the annual advancements in on-ice technology, now hundreds are present, creating better competition across all hardwater product classes, and a free-market economy that would make Adam Smith proud. This year sees that continued expansion with new products such as the growing electric auger market, and...
While water levels are down about two feet after a dry spring and summer across southeastern North Dakota's prairie lakes country, the opportunities to find fast ice fishing for perch and walleyes are up, as record opportunities to catch both species exist this winter.
