Already one of the state's top defensive teams, according to their coach, if the Cards could get more points production they might be battling near the top of the Great Northern League standings, rather than hurtling toward the bottom. “We're right there holding people to 40 points a game,” Cardinals'Arnold Brown, said. “We'll shut a team down for six of se...
