MAYVILLE — The Thompson girls basketball team will take the No. 1 seed in to this weekend’s North Dakota Division B state girls basketball tournament in Minot.

In the first season of a three-class basketball system in the state, the Tommies, who lost the Class B state title in overtime a year ago, are

still a dominant team in a middle division

against many teams with larger enrollments.

Below are scenes from the region tournament last week at Mayville State University.

The Democratic-NPL Party endorsed state Sen. Ryan Braunberger of Fargo for secretary of state, Scot Kelsh of Fargo and John Pederson of Mayville for Public Service Commission and Tim Lamb of Grand Forks for attorney general. The party also issued a letter of support for Tracy Foss of Hatton for superintendent of public instruction.

Democrats have 429 delegates participating, which Party Chair Adam Goldwyn said is the most since 2018. The party has 49 legislative candidates so far, but Goldwyn challenged attendees to field candidates in districts that don’t yet have anyone running.

“The North Dakota Democratic-NPL party has one goal: contest every single election up and down the ballot all across the state,” Goldwyn said.
