The 2024 schedule for volleyball is attached. Next fall will be the final season of the two-class system for North Dakota. In 2025 volleyball will be going to a three-class system (B, A, AA). Please note that these schedules are subject to some change depending on the number of participants (JV an C squad).
Here is the schedule for the 2024 football season. The state will go back to 8 regions instead of 4. The first three games on our schedule are non-region games. The top 3 teams in the region will go to playoffs, with the region champ getting a first round bye. Region 8 teams include: South Border, Napoleon G-S, Linton HMB, Kidder County, Central McCLean, and New Salem.
These girls worked hard as a team throughout the season finishing third in the district and qualifying for the region tournament again this year. If you have spent any time around these ladies, you know they are a great group of people to be around. Not only do they accel on the court but also in the classroom and the community. Thank you, ladies, for your time, dedication, and commitment to your program playing in the offseason, lifting, and going to camps. Another congratulations goes out to Coach Doane on finishing up his first year as the head coach of the lady Mustangs. Thank you, Coach, for all of the time you put into this program.
The Mustang football team took home the state runner-up trophy on November 10. This group broke many records and had a lot of firsts in program history. Thank you to the players and coaches for all the memories this fall. Congrats to Coach Mellmer on steering the ship for such a historic season in only his second-year coaching.
These young Mustangs finished up their season at the beginning of November. They competed in 10 games and a tournament this fall. There was always a lot of excitement in them when I walked through the gym. They were never short of energy or smiles! A big thank you to Luke Miller for stepping up and coaching this team. Coach Miller said. “I was very honored to coach such a great group of young men. The improvements they made from day one to the last game of the season was outstanding.”
There was a schedule change at the end of last week. Tomorrow our JH GBB team will be playing at HOME (Wishek) vs Napoleon at 4:30. There will only be 6 quarters of basketball played instead of two games. Thank you.
