Junior high girls basketball canceled
It may sound like a sad scenario, but there is an upside. Due to the lack of players signed up for junior high girls basketball, the coaching staff along with the athletic director Jason Ermer have made the decision to cancel the season.
Final football game of the year
The Troopers came out with a big win at the last game of the year against the South Prairie Royals, with a final score of 32-6.
Volleyball on a hot pink streak
It was another two game week for the Lady Troopers. It’s a family affair against the Cardinals. Troopers not only won, they ran away with it once again. The Lagge sisters came out on top in their respective positions. Sarah had 31 assists, while Paige led with 21 digs.
The Homecoming Megabowl
It was a chilly 34 degrees at kick-off of the Garrison homecoming football game and the fight for the coveted Megabowl Trophy continues.
Volleyball highs and lows
The Troopers played a difficult match last Tuesday when they took on the Center-Stanton Wildcats.
Troopers beat Mustangs and Bison
Garrison-Max hosted the Surrey Mustangs Sept. 11 in another junior varsity showdown and it was one for the books. Final score was 48-34, Troopers on top.
Elbowoods 1942 team honored
It was March 21, 1942. The Warriors of Elbowoods had accomplished what every small-town North Dakota basketball team dreams of: playing in the North Dakota State B championship game.
Troopers show great improvement
Garrison-Max Varsity Volleyball season opened last week with two games. First game jitters against the Berthold Bombers Aug. 28 were definitely present, but Coach Josh Wastvedt said, “We have to keep in mind how incredibly young we are not only grace-wise, but also experience wise.”
Trooper football played hard
The Garrison-Max Troopers opened their season with an exciting game last Friday. Many fans turned out for their inaugural game and helped cheer on their team.
Tomlinsons – Racing is in their blood
It’s been a good season for Tomlinson Racing. Brothers Stan (Buckwheat) and Vance Tomlinson each recently picked up track championships at the McLean County Speedway in Underwood – Buckwheat in Sport Mods and Vance in hobby stock -- and nephews Myles and Marcus have been tearing up several tracks around the state and beyond in A-Mods, the same type of car their dad Mike Tomlinson, older brother to Vance and Buckwheat, used to drive.
