Cardinals win football, volleyball region titles It’s been a great week for Langdon-Munich athletics, as both the Cardinals football team and Lady Cards volleyball have won regular season region crowns since we last visited here. The Cards football squad won the Re-gion 2A title for the second straight year with a convincing win at Grafton on Oct. 17. They will now enter the playoffs as the number six seed in the Class A division. In something new this year for 9-man and Class A 11man, the top eight teams in the state are seeded 1-8 on votes by coaches. So, the Cards will host a playoff game versus Oakes on Oct. 26, then if they are fortunate enough to win, they will most likely travel to Killdeer for a second round game on Nov. 2. The goal of the North Dakota High School Activities Association is to have the two best teams in the state meet in the Dakota Bowl to decide a state championship. Most coaches we’ve talked to like this new plan, and we will see how it goes. The only bad part we can think of is the considerable travel for many teams.
