October is here We come to you this week writing on the first day of October. This is the month that finds many sporting activities - major league playoff baseball, more Vikings’ wins (hopefully), and locally, we get into the high school football playoffs, while fall golf and cross country is either completed or continuing to get into the postseason.

Cards roll to 34-7 win at Bottineau to stay unbeaten in Region 2A

Cards, Eagles notch Homecoming football wins There has been a lot of good news for our area sports teams lately. The Langdon-Munich Cardinals and North Border Eagles football teams both won their respective Homecoming games and in very decisive fashion. The Eagles had a bizarre stat in that they have won two straight games by the identical score of 70-12. It wasn’t planned that way. North Border coach Tim Hartje said he didn’t realize until we reminded him after the game, but if you had 0 and 2 on your North Border pool, you are smiling this week.
