Cardinals Sports Boosters to hold burger night fundraiser April 5 There’s lots to talk about sports-wise this week, so let’s get right into it. The Langdon-Edmore-Munich Cardinals Sports Boosters are holding their annual Burger Night fundraiser on April 5, the same day most of you get this paper. The boosters will also be holding a raffle that evening with several cash prizes to be given out. All proceeds go to the boosters and to the betterment of all Cardinals sports programs. We know that the Langdon Day Care fundraiser is also the same evening, so hopefully, you can get out and support both big events.
Pembina County North not having a varsity baseball team; Cardinals home opener is April 9 in Munich There is some sad news to report this week; word has come out that Pembina County North will not have a varsity high school baseball team this season. Between the schools of North Border and Cavalier, only seven freshman and six junior high kids have signed up to play. The Grizzlies will still have a team but will play a JV/ JH schedule this year. Sandy Laxdal will still coach the team, and he tells us that they hope to keep the program going. It’s never easy to get a program back once it’s gone, as there hasn’t been an American Legion baseball team in the North Border area for around a decade, for an example. We hope that things will get better for PCN in the future.
The Langdon-Edmore-Munich baseball team is ready to roll for their 2024 season. The Cardinals will begin to defend their Region 4 title with some non-conference games to begin the season at Hazen and Beulah on April 5. They will then have their home opener at Edgar Westphal Field in Munich on April 9 at 4:30pm against Bottineau. Their first game at American Legion Field in Langdon will be on April 18 versus Midway-Minto. With Pembina County North not having a team, it leaves just four teams in Region 4: Grafton, Park River-Fordville-Lankin, M-M and Langdon. They are all very competitive teams, so it won’t be easy for the Cards to make their fourth straight trip to a state tourney. The Lady Cards girls softball team is also scheduled to have their first game at home taking on Northern Lights from the Rolla area on April 11.
Boys golf to being practice April 8 The great weather we are having for the next 10 days at least has got everyone fired up for spring’s work and also for many more spring activities. Boys golf will begin practice on April 8. Both Langdon-Edmore-Munich and North Border both have huge numbers out in grades 7-12 with the Cardinals having 26 and the Eagles, 27. Jenny Romfo and Connie Kjos will coach the Cards, while John Schlitz and Tim Hartje will helm the Eagles program. The first meet is in Grafton on April 18 with Langdon hosting a meet on April 25 and another tournament in Walhalla May 7. We are told that the courses in Langdon, Walhalla, and hopefully Pembina are all very close to opening up for the golf season, which is great to hear.
Langdon scheduled to host a track meet on April 11, maybe...
Outdoor track season is hoping to get rolling in the week ahead, and Langdon has an Early Bird meet set for April 11 if the weather allows it. The jumping and throwing areas take a little extra time to dry out, and as of press time, they hope to host the meet on April 11. It may get moved back if things are not quite ready. If it goes, it’s scheduled for a 2:30pm start. We will see. Volunteers are needed to help out with this potential meet and others coming up in the future. If you can lend a hand, please contact the Langdon High School for more information.
“See ya!” next week!
