WAHPETON, ND (KVRR) – NDSU, UND, MSUM, and Concordia softball are all done for the spring. But in Division 3, the North Dakota State College of Science team will live to see another day and this time, on the national stage.
The Wildcats are off to the NJCAA nationals in Syracuse, New York after beating Saint Cloud Tech, 6-3, this weekend. It’s their 13th straight win after dropping their last seven games in April. NDSCS is (30-21) so far and as a team, they’re 2nd in the country in home runs hit and strikeouts recorded and 4th in runs batted in. That to end, in this month alone, they’ve scored 118 runs and on the season they’ve scored ten runs or more in a game thirteen times. COVID-19 hit the team a little earlier in the season but afterwards, the squad came together.

Jacob Roberts missed playing with the band at Jamestown High School while distance learning last year during the coronavirus pandemic. But for the tenor drummer who wanted to write his own cadences, it turned out to be the perfect time to start creating - and dreaming - big.
Now, the 17-year-old junior at JHS has five copyrighted pieces to his credit in the Library of Congress and has self-published his percussion music for purchase through jwpepper.com, a popular website to find sheet music.

WAHPETON, N.D. A pair of brothers who produce a YouTube channel devoted to exploring rivers and other waterways using powerful magnets recently used those magnets to look for evidence in the death of Andrew Sadek, a 20-year-old from Valley City whose body was found in the Red River several weeks after he went missing in April of 2014.
Tammy and John Sadek, Andrew s parents, have long suspected their son was murdered after he agreed to work with police as a confidential informant, a deal he made to avoid felony charges for allegedly selling $80 worth of marijuana to informants on the campus of the North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton, where he was attending school.
