Our great photographer, Larry Stokke, got down to Grand Forks and the Alerus Center to get some shots of Calvin, N.D. native and Langdon graduate Simon Romfo. Simon and his twin, Grant, played their last home game of 2024 for the UND football team. The Fighting Hawks lost to South Dakota in the game, 42-36, but Simon played great with 180 yards passing and 3 TDs, while also running in another score. Grant made several big plays on special teams. UND is now 5-6 on the season and will finish their 2024 campaign at Illinois State on Sept. 23. Thanks, Larry, for the awesome photo, and congrats to Grant and Simon on a nice season!
Congratulations to Langdon senior Meredith Romfo, who signed a letter of intent last week for the North Dakota State track and field team. Romfo, who won the State Class B Title in the javelin as a junior this past spring, will be focusing on that event at NDSU. She is the daughter of Troy and Rachelle Romfo of Calvin (also pictured) and sister to Grant and Simon Romfo, who are playing football at UND. Way to go, Meredith, and best of luck with the Bison!

High school football season ends for our area teams Let’s begin this week by saying the 2024 high school football season has been completed for our area. The Langdon-Munich Cardinals were the last team still in the postseason, but they unfortunately lost at Velva in the semifinals of the Class A 11-man playoffs on Nov. 9. It was a great postseason run again this year for the Cards, but they came one game short of the state championship game for the second straight year. The Cards had a fine year overall, winning the Region 2A title and battling through seven games this year on the road. Cody Amble was named Region 2A Senior Athlete of the Year, and nine Cardinals made the All-Region 2A team. It’s sad that the season has come to an end on the gridiron for our area teams, but it was another banner year on the football field for several squads, and we will look forward to next fall.

Vollan has seen anxiety issues increasing, and along with that, attendance concerns and drops in grades for those affected.
