Cardiac Cardinals give fans heart palpitations The last two weeks of the high school football season have been one wild ride for the Langdon-Munich Cardinals. In their last two games, they lost by six to Central Cass then won a “You’d have to have been there to understand” kind of game in a crazy 4342 win over Harvey-Wells County. Both games were absolute roller coaster rides, providing fans with entertainment that only high school sports can provide. Both contests also featured big comebacks by the Cards - coming up just short versus the Squirrels and going for a gutsy 2-point conversion to beat the Hornets by one. We will see what they have in store for us in their next game at Belcourt, a team that they have not played for a couple of years. This game will be played on the Braves’ brand new turf field, which we have also heard is heated, which is wild if true.
