The Lake Region State College basketball teams played on the road against Williston State College on Wednesday and split their two games. In a different fashion than usual, the women lost and the men won.
Highlights
The LRSC men’s team, which has grinded through a tough season, now has a two-game winning streak going after its 84-83 defeat of WSC on Wednesday. It got the Royals out of last place in the Mon-Dak Athletic Conference. The women, meanwhile, couldn’t repeat their previous heroics against the first-place Tetons.

What to watch
Benson County and New Rockford-Sheyenne boys’ basketball each have home games on Thursday at 7 p.m. The Wildcats play Larimore, while the Rockets play Langdon Area/Edmore/Munich. The Wildcats and Rockets currently own the No. 3 and 4 seeds respectively in Division B, Region 2, District 4.
It’ll otherwise be a relatively quiet finish to the week, which feels fitting after Devils Lake’s intense matchups against Four Winds/Minnewaukan on Monday and Tuesday. The Firebird girls will be back in action on the road Friday against Central Cass though, and the boys’ hockey team has a big play-in game in Devils Lake on Saturday.
