    Ty's Take: Packers come back for on-ice reunion
    Just as relatives and family members from around the world returned home over the holidays to spend time with their loved ones, so too did some former West Fargo boys hockey players. Last week, several ex-Packers took to the ice at Veteran's Memorial Arena in West Fargo to practice...

    Ty's Take: WF wrestling starts strong
    The recently released preseason coaches' poll pegs the defending East Region champion West Fargo wrestling team to finish first in both their conference and Class A. A lofty goal, indeed, but certainly not unobtainable; in 2010 the Packers took their first state dual championship...

    Ty's Take: Packers hockey teams kick off the winter sports season
    When people hear the word "winter," it's tough not to think about snow and ice. Fitting, then, that officially kicking off the winter sports season was one relying solely on ice. Last week, the Packers boys hockey team began their season with a 3-1 loss on the road to Fargo Davies....

    Ty's Take: WF football season ends with win over visiting Knights
    There wasn't anything on the line, except maybe pride. They could just have easily given up and called it a year. But they didn't, and even after falling behind 8-0 early in the second quarter to visiting Grand Forks Central, the Packers fought to the bitter end in their last game...

    Ty's Take: Boys cross country team crowned EDC champs
    The last time a West Fargo boys cross country team had won an Eastern Dakota Conference championship was 2008. That changed Saturday. The Packers edged Grand Forks Central by two points to take the East Region title with a score of 65. The West Fargo girls team finished runner-up...

    Ty's Take: Packers' Ballweber finishes sixth at state
    After a frustrating East Region meet two weeks ago, the West Fargo boys tennis team had a lone representative at last week's North Dakota Class A State Tournament in Grand Forks. And Brady Ballweber made sure he represented well: the freshman went 3-2 in singles to grab sixth place...

    Ty's Take: West Fargo girls golf team prepares for East Region meet Monday
    With Monday's meet behind them, the West Fargo girls golf team is down to the postseason, and so far they've been a model of consistency. Last Tuesday, they once again placed fourth overall during the Red River Invitational at Kings Walk Golf Course in Grand Forks. The Packers accumulated...

    Ty's Take: Cross country takes second, fourth at own invite
    The West Fargo cross country team hosted its own invitational last Saturday at Moorhead's Johnson Park. The Packers girls finished second place with 77 points, but were far removed from the 26-point, first-place effort by Fargo Davies. West Fargo boys accumulated 75 points, one...

    Ty's Take: Volleyball struggles early
    Eight games into their season, West Fargo volleyball has gotten off to a tough start. Last week, the Packers squared off against a pair of Eastern Dakota Conference rivals, and dropped both games. They started Tuesday with a 3-2 loss to undefeated Grand Forks Red River (1-0 EDC,...

    Ty's Take: Packers fall to Bismarck in opener
    The West Fargo football season began Saturday much like last year's ended. The only positive spin on the night may be that there was a week to work out the kinks until the Packers' next game. Bismarck produced back-to-back triple touchdown quarters to run away with an eventual...
