A year ago, the North Star Knights captured the girls’ team title, a huge milestone for the Knights, and Rudyard as a community. Charlo won the boys title last season, and will most likely be near the top again, as they won the Northern C in dominating fashion this year. Belt and the Chinook Sugarbeeter could also push for boys’ team titles, while girls teams like Seeley-Swan and Belt will push for team titles. Belt knocked off the Knights for the Northern C girls’ title this year in Great Falls.

He has already turned in a spectacular regular season, as well as a stellar showing at the Northern B divisional meet. But like every prep athlete in his position, this weekends’ state meet is the ultimate goal.

The Blue Ponies will play in the state tournament Thursday-Friday in Polson and Ronan, and there’s plenty to be excited about. Only two of Havre’s eight players have previous state tournament experience, while the Ponies also qualified four of their five seniors.

The Ponies finished the regular season with a 3-5 conference record, and as the No. 4 seed heading into the first annual Central A divisional softball tournament. The newly decided on divisional tournamen now meant the Ponies had a shot at extending their season after gaining momentum through the regular season. But after a 1-2 weekend, with two very tight, and tough losses, the Ponies will have to wait until next year to make another state title run.
