COVID-19 could very well be on the wane in North Dakota, but a new disease transmissible through animal/human contact has seen its first confirmed case in a seven-year span in the state. Highly pathogenic avian influenza, abbreviated HPAI, was detected in a domestic chicken flock in Kidder County late last month. The case was identified by the NDSU Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, and later confirmed by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) lab in Ames, Iowa. The birds on the...

On March 1, Ostlie took over from his acting directorship at the NDSU Carrington Research Extension Center to become the center's full-time director.

Victoria Vollmer learned much from her formative years growing up on her family's ranch, the Circle V, three miles north and three miles east of Grace City just inside Eddy County. Namely, the virtues and rewards of hard work and dedication, and good stewardship of the land and animals entrusted to her parents, Jason and Veronica, and her siblings, Joseph, James and Vanessa. Growing up participating in 4-H, she presented various animal species in the show ring, but maybe her biggest pride and...
They may not have had the biggest team at the State B Individual Wrestling Tournament, but the ones who showed up for Carrington made quite an impact. Three Cardinal wrestlers captured state championships, and one other made the finals match in their respective weight classes Thursday and Friday, February 17-18, at the Fargodome. The tournament marked the end of the legendary careers of seniors Brecken Lura and Michael Clifton with state championships, and another senior, Matthew Duchscherer,...

Five champions were crowned for CHS at the northeast grappling outpost near the Canadian border, while two o...
The biggest battle coming into the Region 2 Dual Tournament for the Carrington Cardinals was the numbers game. With a 4-8 record in all duals coming into the state-qualifying tournament at May-Port-CG High School Saturday, February 5, the Cards had the wrestlers to make a run if all went their way. If they could only get past their weakness of open weight classes. Seeded fourth, CHS wrestlers picked each other up from match to match, and advanced to the finals with first-round wins over...
The traditional final event of the Class B regular season on the mats transpired once again in New Salem with the East-West Tournament Saturday, Jan. 29.

Two wrestlers came out on top for the Cards in New Salem, those being 113-pounder Trace Hoggarth and Michael Clifton at 182 pounds. Both Hog...

The Cards contested 12 matches to the Firebirds’ eight, and won a 60-12 victory. In the nightcap, CHS did well to stay with the Packers, but fell by three, 39-36. Double winners in the dual were Trace Hoggarth (113), Matthew Duchscherer (126 and 132), Brecken Lura (138, pin and forfeit), Michael Clifton (182, pin and forfeit), and Callen Garber (195, p...

Being down in numbers to fill lineup slots, everything had to go Carrington’s way in contested weights to salvage any form of victory in a triangular dual meet with HWC and Central Cass on Thursday, Jan. 6, in Harvey. Even with four forfeits to the Hornets and five to the Squirrels, the Cards lost both duals by a combined tally of just five points, taking a bitter 37-36 loss to the home team and tasting defeat in 40-36 fashion to the eastern North Dakota school. Taking wins in both duals were T...
Among the biggest high school, junior high and youth wrestling tournaments in the country, the Rumble on the Red, held December 29-30, never ceases to bring the best talent in the upper Midwest to the Fargodome floor. The Carrington wrestling team, fielding four varsity competitors, and eight in the junior varsity brackets, finished in 44th place overall with 28.5 team points. Jackson Co. Central, a Minnesota school located in the southwest corner of the state, took the team title with 156.5...

The varsity court experience deficit between the NR-S Rockets and Carrington Cardinals was fairly vast coming into the 2021-22 boys' basketball opening game. The Cards began their third season with largely the same roster, following records of 3-18 and 7-14 in the previous two campaigns, while the Rockets returned only two varsity contributors from last year's 15-8 team. However, it was a newcomer to the CHS roster, Josh Bickett, who made the most lasting impression in the 62-31 win for the...
The CHS wrestling team had their struggles in the Carrington Duals on Friday night, December 10, the event traditionally preceding the Al Larson Invitational. The Cards dropped decisions of 31-24 to the Minot Magicians, 52-14 against Class B contender New Salem-Almont, and a tough 39-31 Region 2 loss to Pembina County North in the nightcap. In between, Carrington rolled to a 59-12 win against the out-manned Napoleon Imperials. The losses dropped the Cards' overall record in head-to-head outings...
Nick Berglund was the tallest target in the passing game for NR-S, along with one of the Rockets' top edge rushers on defense. And now, the 6'4", 216-pound wide receiver/defensive end has been recognized with elevation to the highest honor Class 9B can bestow upon he and his peers. Berglund was named to the Second Team of the North Dakota High School Coaches Association (NDHSCA) Class 9B All-State squad. Season statistics for the senior include 42 solo and 38 assisted tackles, eight sacks and...
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...
If nothing else, NR-S senior and Carrington wrestler Matthew Duchscherer has a great sense of timing. Duchscherer's night in the spotlight at the NR-S High School Gym on Tuesday, November 23, featured him attaining a personal milestone. The 132-pounder took his 100th career victory in a first-period pin over Oakes' Noah Wood. It was one of five falls the Cardinals would get in a 48-33 win over the Tornadoes to start the dual portion of their season. The two teams exchanged pins and forfeits in...
The Cardinal wrestling mats will be making a bit of a road trip eight days from now, 16 miles to New Rockford, for Carrington's "home" opener in the NR-S Gym against the Oakes Tornadoes. It wasn't something that Coach Josh Kerbaugh's program had to do, but what they felt they should do to recognize the contributions of one of their most dedicated grapplers. Rocket senior Matthew Duchscherer has wrestled for the Carrington program since third grade when he began with the Pitcrew youth team, and w...
