10 YEARS AGO (2013): The first stage of a major face-lift to the Community Bowl was completed. A new track and refurbished turf were the most obvious differences, with the enlarged locker room facilities, one each for the local high schools as well as Bismarck State College and the University of Mary, being among the biggest difference for players at the facility. Also added were two training rooms, a new scoreboard that was installed in the spring, and an additional storage facility for equipment. Still to come were the completions of the three-story structure on the north side of the field, with new concessions, restrooms, press boxes and luxury suites.

20 YEARS AGO (2003): It was a clean sweep for Bismarck teams in the East-West boys soccer classic, as Bismarck beat West Fargo 1-0 and Fargo Shanley 2-0, Century’s offense was hot in 6-2 and 7-0 wins over Fargo Shanley and West Fargo, respectively, and St. Mary’s beat Grand Forks Red River 2-1 and Grand Forks Central 4-0. Phil Niemann had a pair of goals for Bismarck, Dana Roller had two goals and four assists and Will Petrik had four goals and an assist for Century as six different goal-scorers tallied for the Patriots, and Mike Keller made 15 saves for St. Mary’s.

50 YEARS AGO (1973): Several Bismarck motorcycle riders placed highly in the Boones Farm Moto Cross races near New Salem among the 46 total competitors in the Dakota Motorcycle Association-sanctioned meet. Randy King, Kevin Hay, and Tim Randisch were among the winners, with King beating Terry Tietz in the 125cc class, Hay topping Velva’s Ton Thomas in the 175cc class, and Randisch beating Bismarck’s Gerry Lannoye in the 250cc-A race. The open race was won by Don Boeckle of Beulah.

TRIVIA ANSWER
