The North Border Eagles had a marvelous season last year, finishing with a 16-9 record, finishing third in District 3, second in Region 2, and lost a heart breaker to Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier in a State B Tournament qualifying game. The Eagles lost talented senior Grayson Ohmann to graduation off that team but return everyone else. They look to have a fun season that they hope will result in a trip to the State B Basketball Tournament.

Featuring many of the same players that won a state volleyball championship less than two weeks ago, the Langdon-Munich Cardinals are hoping to have success in girls basketball this year as well. As it is across North Dakota, the Lady Cards have small numbers this season; they have 17 girls out for the team in grades 7-12. They lost All-Stater Cora Badding from last year's team, along with 1,000-point scorer Jaya Henderson, and Jalynn Swanson. They went 23-3 and came a game away from a State B Tournament berth.
