On Friday, Jan. 28, the New Rockford-Sheyenne Rockets fell 38-59 to the Lakota Raiders in another District 7 showdown. A worrying trend for NR-S has emerged in recent weeks - the Rockets aren’t taking off very well. As they did versus Harvey a few days prior, the Rockets had a terrible first quarter in Lakota, scoring just six first-quarter points to the Raiders’ 18. The slow starts are burying NR-S in a hole they have yet to prove they can dig out of. Against Harvey, NR-S clawed themselves out...

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...
The Rockets fell short in yet another comeback attempt versus the Langdon Area/Edmore/Munich Cardinals on Saturday, Jan. 29, falling by a score of 51-55. Put simply, the Rockets aren't a first-quarter team. The Rockets didn't just struggle finding the net in the first quarter on Saturday, they couldn't do anything defensively either. While shot-after-shot from NR-S was missing its mark, the Cardinals were breezing past Rockets' defenders for routine layups, amassing 29 first-quarter points in...
Bo Belquist, one of New Rockford-Sheyenne's most successful athletes, is continuing to shine at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks. Belquist began attracting college scouts early on during his career at NR-S. In his junior year, he caught 54 passes for 1,096 yards and 18 touchdowns - more than enough to garner the attention of football scouts. When those colleges came knocking, many thought he'd follow the lead of his father, who attended and still rooted for North Dakota State University....

I was just a freshman enjoying spring break when I read the cursed email from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities telling us not to come back to campus for an extra week. I wasn't upset at the time, because it appeared like a bonus vacation! Who could have imagined I would be an incoming junior before campus reopened? In the meantime, I took classes online from my bedroom in Sheyenne. As you can imagine, it's hard to feel connected to your alma mater when you're studying six and one-half...

A heightened wind gust flapped at the canvas of my flipover shack as my youngest son, Jackson, sat next to me sounding out the longer words in his brother's book, which I had tucked into the pocket of my ice fishing jacket and provided to him, after our run of fishing had quieted down some and the in-between doldrums settled in. My older son, AJ, had found a spot between my brother and my buddy helping to reel in the last flurry of perch that had rolled through, as the northwest wind peaked in...
In this week's Devils Lake report, I'll touch on what is taking place up here for us right now and also the next chapter of my fishing adventures, which is approaching extremely fast! What's going on right now on Devils Lake? Well, for me and most of our crew things are definitely in a funk. The dog days of winter have hit, and this has happened every year I have guided up here about this time. For some reason things get tough for a bit. Rest assured, the lake will snap out of it and the fishing...
It's the little things that draw me to the uplands. Fishing, hunting, and falconry are just a few of the many hobbies I enjoy. I love ice fishing and open water angling, upland hunting and duck hunting, and it doesn't get more exciting than catching rabbits with my red-tailed hawk. However, in all of those options, the uplands remain a special place for me. I think most outdoorspeople can agree that we all find a sort of solace when we are enjoying the outdoors. Maybe the only way to properly...
