In its final test of the regular season, the Havre High wrestling team passed - sort of. The Ponies were defeated by No. 1- ranked Class B-C Conrad on Saturday night, 42-33, in front of a boisterous crowd at the Havre High gymnasium. While there are no moral victories in sports, HHS head coach Scott Filius used the dual with the Cowboys as a measuring tool to see where his team is as it heads into the postseason. And based on Saturday's results, he still likes what he sees. "We wanted to win this dual and I thought we could h...
Montana State University-Northern women's basketball coach Mike Erickson gets tired of telling his team the same thing over and over. He's sure his players are tired of hearing it too. But even if Erickson has preached to his team about being mentally prepared for games 3,000,000 times this season, he'll make it 3,000,001 because he saw the importance of it firsthand this week. The Skylights came out ready and focused to pick up a key 90-65 win over Rocky Mountain College on Friday in front of a packed house at the...
It was no secret to anyone in attendance Saturday night that the 21st-ranked Boise State Broncos have a very good wrestling team. It's a fact that was not lost on Montana State University-Northern wrestling head coach David Ray. Ray knew coming into the dual that the opening matches of the dual in front of a packed house at the Havre High gymnasium would be very critical in how the Lights would fare against Division I competition. But Ray didn't get the start he was looking for. Instead, the Broncs who got off to a great...
Lamar Morinia couldn't believe his desperation three-point shot at the end of the first overtime didn't go in, saying it "felt so good." Morinia's three-point attempt at the end of the second overtime felt even better. With the scored tied at 95 and 5.4 seconds remaining, the senior point guard drove the length the floor and sank a fadeaway three-pointer at the buzzer to lift the Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team to a dramatic 98-95 win over Carroll College Saturday night in a packed and raucous MSU-Nort...
Even though the final score of Friday night's game with CMR might not indicate it, the Havre High boys basketball team got back on track. Havre fell to the No. 2-ranked Rustlers 55-40 at the Havre High gymnasium, but Blue Pony head coach Mark West saw some good things out of his team during the contest. "Offensively, I thought that we played one of the best games I have seen in three years," West said. "That sounds weird after a loss, but we moved the ball really well, we were patient and we played as a team. We haven't done...

HELENA - Democrats, who have found themselves on the political sidelines in Montana for a decade, believe this is their year to get back in the game. And even some Republicans concede the optimism may not be just partisan bravado. The big difference this year, officials in both parties agree, is the redrawn legislative districts that were designed by the Democrat-controlled Districting and Apportionment Commission to benefit Democratic candidates. ''There are a lot more seats that are truly competitive than before,'' said Bob... Full story

The local conservation office wants ag producers in Hill County to know there are some new opportunities to get help paying for conservation practices on their land. Deana Biegalke Grabofsky, conservationist in the Hill County office of the U.S. National Resources Conservation Service, said the 2002 Farm Bill made changes in the Environmental Quality Incentive Program.

People driving through Havre may not realize that 29 miles south of town is a ski hill good enough to be featured with photos in the November 2001 issue of Skiing magazine. People who have skied nationally and internationally say they like the runs at the Bear Paw Ski Bowl as well. Jim Chenoweth said he learned to ski at the Bear Paw Ski Bowl and since then has skied at almost every venue in Montana, at other slopes across the country and even skied in Germany for two years. Now he just stays at Bear Paw. "It's close and... Full story
