Just two games into this football season, the New Rockford-Sheyenne/Maddock Rockets have made quite the statement. Some thought this year's Rockets wouldn't be capable of the same success they enjoyed a season ago, but if their first two games are anything to go by, the Rockets may just have their sights set on the Fargodome once again. After dominating the St. John Woodchucks 69-0 in their season opener, NR-S/M was back on the road on Friday, Aug. 30 to face off with Cavalier, an opponent...
The New Rockford-Sheyenne cross country team was back in action on Tuesday, September 3 at CrossRoads Golf Course in Carrington. NR-S seventh graders Elise Guler and Gabe Smith were the highest placers for the Rockets. Both Guler and Smith competed in the junior varsity divisions and each took second place. Along with their second place finishes, they set personal record times – Guler with 12:26.37 and Smith with 11:09.21. Liza Steele also earned a top five finish for the Rockets, earning f...
The New Rockford-Sheyenne/Maddock (NR-S/M) Rockets kicked off their season with a bang on Friday, Aug. 23. NR-S/M traveled to St. John to take on the Woodchucks for their season opener, and last year's 9-man semi-finalists looked every bit as dominant as they did a year ago. However, they'll be hoping their first play of the season isn't a bad omen for the rest of their year. The Rockets were set to receive the opening kickoff and start the game on offense, but a fumble on the return gave...

For the past two years, the New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets have been to the Class B Volleyball State Tournament, and with another season getting underway, this year's team is hoping they can make it three in a row. It'll be harder than ever this year, however, as three seniors who were instrumental to the team's previous success won't be returning. But Sara Myhre, head coach of the NR-S Rockets, says there's still plenty of talent and experience on this year's roster. "We have four returning...
Cross Country at New Rockford-Sheyenne is back. After a brief hiatus, the NR-S cross country program returned last year and built itself a strong foundation of young athletes, and together they learned the ropes of long-distance running. They got faster and faster as the season went on, and now the program is set to return this fall with hopes of building on the progress made a year ago. This season will be head coach Joe Greiner’s second with the team, and he said he’s looking forward to ano...
The New Rockford Post 30 Black Sox hosted this year's District 4 Tournament, but their home field advantage wasn't quite enough to get them to another state tournament. Beginning on Monday, July 22, the tournament consisted of four teams from which only one would advance to this year's state tournament for Legion baseball. Post 30 qualified for last year's Legion state tournament, and entering this season many of the players were fresh off a fourth-place state tournament run this spring. On this...
The Pink Sox finished their season second in the 13U Devils Lake Ponytail softball league, falling short to Lakota in the championship game on Tuesday, July 23 in Devils Lake. The Pink Sox entered the league tournament seeded No. 1 and received a bye in the first round. The semifinals saw them finishing in four innings, taking down the Devils Lake Cars 10-0. The championship game didn't start as they hoped, with Lakota taking a quick lead in the first inning 9-1. The Pink Sox fought back in the...
With only a few games left in the regular season, the New Rockford Post 30 Black Sox have been hard at work gaining momentum before the district tournament. After a solid start to the season, the Sox began to struggle and lost four of their next five games entering a matchup against Park River Post 147 in Fordville on Thursday, July 11. They had scored just two runs in those four losses, and entered that matchup desperately needing to get their bats going. Thankfully for Post 30, they did exactl...
After taking down Langdon in a thrilling come-from-behind victory, the New Rockford Post 30 Black Sox ran into a few more roadblocks on Tuesday, July 9. Up first was Carrington Post 25, and their pitcher Kael Kovar carried a shutout into the seventh inning, while their offense rode home runs from Grady Shipman and Josh Bickett to take a crucial District 4 win over New Rockford Post 30 at Carrington's City Park Tuesday, July 9. The Redbirds got single tallies in the first, third and fifth...
On Wednesday, July 3, the Post 30 Black Sox ended a two-game losing skid in the most emphatic way possible. Playing against the Langdon Red Sox in Langdon, Post 30 were looking to get back in the win column and develop some momentum as the postseason approaches. But as Wednesday's game got underway, the Black Sox certainly didn't do themselves many favors. With Keaton Cudworth on the mound, the Red Sox were able to score a run in each of the first two innings courtesy of an RBI single and a...
The Post 30 Black Sox suffered another setback on Thursday, June 27, this time against the Linton-Ashley-Wishek (LAW) Rattlers at home. Much of the struggle for Post 30 of late has been their defense. In their previous loss against LaMoure Post 19 on June 24, the Sox committed eight errors and allowed two unearned runs, spoiling what was a good pitching outing for Keaton Cudworth. Their very next game against LAW was a similar story: six defensive errors and five unearned runs allowed. Another...
Four players from the New Rockford-Sheyenne/Maddock Rockets took part in the 50th annual North Dakota Shrine Bowl on Saturday, June 22, in Mayville. Connor Knatterud, DJ Mudgett, Logan Maddock and Macyn Olson represented the Rockets after leading their team on an excellent season. They played for the 9-man east team along with many of the best players in 9-man North Dakota football. The four of them are the first Rockets to compete in the Shrine Bowl since 2021, when Johnny Grann and Hunter...
After their game against Harvey was suddenly postponed on Thursday, June 20, the Post 30 Black Sox had plenty of rest going into their next home game against LaMoure Post 19 on Monday, June 25. Unfortunately for the Sox, however, that extra rest did little to stop LaMoure's excellent pitching and strong defense from outperforming them. Starting on the mound for LaMoure was Owen Lesko, who went on to pitch all seven innings while allowing just three hits, one walk and striking out seven Black...
Keaton Cudworth has pitched another gem, this time throwing a complete game shutout against the Devils Lake B Storm on Monday, June 17. Not only did Cudworth prevent any runner from crossing the plate, he also allowed just a single hit and struck out 10 Devils Lake batters in seven innings. To state the obvious, it doesn't get much better than that, and Cudworth couldn't have picked a better day to remind everyone why he's among the best pitchers in Class B baseball. As Cudworth took care of...
The elements were the X-factor when the best golfers and teams in Class B converged at CrossRoads Golf Club in Carrington for two days of abbreviated action Wednesday and Thursday, June 5-6. A three-plus-inch downpour several hours before play was supposed to begin on Tuesday, June 4, postponed the entire first day of golf to Wednesday. The original plan was to play an 18-hole one day event that day, but flooding on the southern portion of the course shortened the round to just nine holes. With...
On Tuesday, June 11, the 2024 Class B Baseball All-State team was announced. Two Sheyenne-New Rockford athletes were named to the teams, along with one Carrington athlete.

Only days after the Sheyenne-New Rockford Black Sox took on the Class B baseball state tournament, most of the team were back on the diamond for the Legion baseball season. And the Post 30 Black Sox picked up where they left off, getting an impressive comeback win over the Kidder County Wolves on Thursday, June 6 in Steele. The Wolves jumped out to an early lead in the first inning thanks to an RBI double and a sacrifice fly. Keaton Cudworth was the starting pitcher for Post 30, but his first in...
The Sheyenne-New Rockford Black Sox have finished their spring season with a fourth place finish at their first state tournament appearance in 24 years. Many weren't sure how the Sox would fare after such a strong performance at the Region III Tournament, where they were largely dominant en route to a region championship. Were SNR really among the top eight teams in the state, or did they just happen to have a good few games that weekend? Well, they certainly answered that question with their...
New Rockford-Sheyenne has a new individual state champion. Fort Totten senior Deng Deng took the crown in the boys' high jump event at the 2024 North Dakota High School Activities Association Class B State Track and Field Meet on Friday, May 24. Deng had already surpassed 6 feet, 3 inches and was deemed the state champ, but continued to clear additional heights up to 6 feet, 6 inches.

The Sheyenne-New Rockford Black Sox are region champions for the first time in over two decades! At the Region III Tournament in Steele, N.D., the Sox found themselves the last team standing after playing three days of excellent baseball, and have now punched their ticket to the state tournament in Jamestown. For all three days at the region tournament, the Sox put on an excellent display of pitching, offense and defense on the baseball diamond, and were largely dominant en route to their...
Jackson Schumacher is going back to state. At the Region 2 qualifier in Carrington on Wednesday, May 23, NR-S sophomore Jackson Schumacher had his best meet of the season, and it couldn't have come at a more perfect time. To qualify for the state tournament, golfers need to score a 79 or better in 18 holes. Schumacher had come oh-so close earlier in the season when he scored 80 at Rose Creek on Wednesday, May 8. In Carrington, however, Schumacher wasn't interested in making it close. Instead of...
With a few clutch hits, pitches and grit, the Carrington softball team advanced the furthest in the postseason they ever have in their three years of existence as a program. Starting from their inclusion in the South Sub-Region play-in game, the Cardinals went on to win a trio of games in the Region II Tournament, on the doorstep for State B Tournament qualification. The Cards rolled past #5 seed Larimore 23-3 at City Park to begin the tournament on Thursday, May 16, setting up a Saturday...

The New Rockford-Sheyenne track and field team has been on a roll lately. With Emmie Belquist, Bennett Meier, Ava Peterson, Dalen Leftbear and Deng Deng qualifying for state on Thursday, May 9, the Rockets added three more qualifiers on Saturday, May 11 at the Harvey/Wells County Invitational in Fessenden.
