TO THE STATE B!!! Langdon-Munich battles injury and adversity to make first state appearance since 2023 It has been an interesting season for the Langdon-Munich Cardinals girls basketball team, to say the least. The Lady Cards had a rare five-game losing streak this year but still came into the Region 2 Girls Basketball Tournament held in Devils Lake Feb.

The end of the year Junior Gold boys and 19U girls state tournaments were both held in Minot at MAYSA Arena with the Junior Gold tourney running Feb. 27-March 1 and the 19U Feb. 28-March 2. The Blades boys were seeded fifth but ended up getting third place by beating Richland 6-2. The 19U girls were seeded fifth and ended up taking fifth place, beating Crosby 1-0. Both teams finished their seasons with a victory. The boys do not have any seniors, so everyone will be back next year. The girls had two seniors who ended their high school hockey careers, Catelyn Goodman and Alora Berke. Congrats to both of them on great runs. Minot beat Grand Forks 4-3 for the Junior Hold title, and Watford City defeated Hazen Beulah 5-2 to win the girls championship.
