It was a long road to Springfield, Ill., and the Cliff Keen National Duals for the Montana State University-Northern wrestling team. And once there, the Lights had a rough go on the mat.

Valier has quickly grown into one of the top Class C 6-man football programs in the state. The Panthers have been knocking on the door of the state championship for the last three seasons, and are now the deepest into the 6-Man playoffs they have been in school history. But the road to 6-man supremacy has been a unique one. You have to dust off the record books and dive in pretty deep, but Valier used to play Class B 11-Man football.

The Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team is fresh off its first loss of the young season, and its first home loss in almost two years. Last Friday night's setback against Warner-Pacific was a good learning experience for the No. 23 Lights, who have four new starters and are rotating as many as eight new faces this season. But bouncing right back is going to be a tall order given Northern's next two opponents. MSU-N (6-1) is in Las Vegas Friday and Saturday f...
The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team just completed the best regular season the program has seen in a decade. But the Skylights aren't interested in hanging their hat on that alone. Northern doesn't want to just be satisfied with great achievements like finishing in a tie for third place in the tough Frontier Conference, or with winning 10 conference matches, or with beating every team in the league at least once. Those are all great milestones, but Northern...
