HIGHLIGHTS: North Dakota St. gets its revenge, dominating UND 41-17
FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) – It is sweet, sweet revenge in 2024 for the North Dakota State Bison. A year after UND blew out NDSU in Grand Forks, the Bison do the same to the Fighting Hawks in Fargo, winning 41-17 Saturday.
The rivalry win is a meaningful one for North Dakota St., but it came at a cost in the second half, when star QB Cam Miller suffered an ankle injury and left the game in the third quarter.
Head Coach Tim Polasek said postgame Miller was not severely injured.
“It’s a just an ankle,” Polasek said. “We’ll know more later. He could’ve come back and he would’ve went into the game and played.”
Aside from the injury, Miller had a milestone day, scoring his 100th career touchdown in the second quarter, then tallying his 42nd career rushing touchdown in the third quarter, breaking Bison legend Easton Stick’s MVFC record for rush TDs by a QB.
”Everything this kid’s going to get, in my opinion, is because he stayed here and played in a system that’s his,” Polasek said. “The system is now his.
“What another great story to deflect the portal. Just stay and be coached and work and finish what you start. I’m so freaking happy for that guy, he means everything to me.”
As for UND, it was obviously a rough day with the 24-point loss, but for the Fighting Hawks, it’s onward to a bye week and a matchup with Northern Iowa Oct. 19.
”How we respond to this is really important,” UND Head Coach Bubba Schweigert said. “We talk to our guys about, we go through events, and our response is our thing that we can control, and we’ve got to do a good job of how we respond to this.”
As North Dakota begins a bye week, North Dakota St. heads to Carbondale Oct. 12 for their next contest, a 2:00 p.m. battle with Southern Illinois.

This year, it was Troy Berndt taking the ceremonial convertible ride. He is headed to St. Michael-Albertville High School for the Minnesota Class A State Track and Field Meet on June 4-6.

He will be running in the third heat of the 400-meter prelims, scheduled for 4:52 p.m. June 4. There are seven athletes in each heat, 21 total, and nine will advance to the finals at 6:20 p.m. June 5.
The top two finishers in each heat advance, along with the next three best times. Berndt’s personal best time of 50.67 has him seeded 13th, but the 10th-, 11th- and 12th-seeded runners are less than five hundredths of a second ahead of him. The eighth- and ninth-seeded runners are also close, at 50.33 and 50.39, respectively.
Berndt dropped nearly seven-tenths of a second from his previous personal best at the Section 6A West Subsection Meet on May 21, running 51.35, and shaved another 0.68 seconds off at the Section 6A Championships on May 28 with a time of 50.67. If he keeps lowering his time, he will have a shot at reaching the podium against the best runners in Class A.

On this day in 1971, Rugby repeated as North Dakota’s high school sand greens golf champion behind medalist Dwight Stempson’s winning performance.
Here is the complete story as it appeared in the paper that day:
Rugby Repeats As Sand Greens Golf Champion
RUGBY, N. D. — Rugby repeated as North Dakota high school sand greens golf champion here Wednesday, posting a four-man total of 293 strokes for 18 holes.
Led by medalist Dwight Stempson’s medalist 36-35 — 71, the Panthers were eight strokes ahead of runnerup Stanley, which had a 301. Following were Garrison 311, Beulah 315, Leeds 322, Ashley 323, Bottineau 328, Pembina 329, Tioga 332, Parshall 341 and Hettinger 342.
Stempson and teammate Bruce Carlson each had one-under par 71s, but Carlson was unable to be at the regional and wasn’t qualified for individual honors.
Rounding out the Rugby totals were Delwin Wilson 40-37 — 77 and Dennett Hutchinson 35-39 — 74. Gary Kirchoffner, 41-39 — 80, was Rugby’s fifth entrant with the best four-of-five scores counted.
Runnerup Stanley was led by Steve Springan’s 34-38 — 72 and Joe Springan’s 36-38 — 74. Their two-man total of 146 strokes was good enough for the doubles title. Two strokes back with a 148 was the duo of Stempson and Wilson. Stan Saathoff and Mike Stepina of Garrison each had 76s for a 152 total and the Ashley combo of Steve Maier (76) and Dave Kretschmar (78) was fourth with a 154.
Stempson was the driving contest winner with a distance of 280 yards. Chris Knutson of Garrison headed the pitch and putt competition.
