    Daniel Horton, Havre Daily News sports

    The Havre High volleyball team has struggled with injuries all season long. Now fighting through a short week of practice littered with homecoming distractions, the possible return of a Blue Pony captain has the squad looking up. Tonight the Central A Ponies (3-1, 4-5) will host the Class AA Great Falls Bison at 6:30 p.m. at the Havre High gymnasium. And on Saturday, the Ponies will remain at home where they will take on the conference rival Butte Central Maroons at 1:30 p.m. in the Ponies' homecoming match. HHS has faced...

    Daniel Horton, Havre Daily News

    Daniel Horton, Havre Daily News When the Havre High football team finds a way to win, the Blue Ponies win big.

Friday night in Lewistown, the Ponies defeated the Lewistown Golden Eagles 42-0 in conference play. It was the Ponies' first conference game of the season, and with the win it gives them a 1-0 conference record as well as a 3-1 record overall. The Eagles are 0-4. The Ponies have found a lot of...

    Daniel Horton, Havre Daily News sports

    The Havre High boys and girls cross country teams accomplished in the last week of the regular season. Thursday in Helena, the Central A Blue Ponies got another chance to run against some of the state's top talent, as well as compete against their entire conference and got to run on the course they will run at state. And once again, both Pony squads turned in good performances. The HHS girls placed No. 19 out of 45 teams with 139 points, and the boys placed No. 23 out 47 teams with 159 points at the Helena 7-on-7 meet....

  • HHS spikers head to Conrad

    Daniel Horton, Havre Daily News sports

    At full strength, a matchup against Class B Conrad would normally be a relatively easy one for the Havre High volleyball team. But missing two starting Blue Ponies, the playing field may have just been leveled. Saturday the Central A Ponies (3-2, 5-6) will face the nonconference Conrad Cowgirls in Conrad. Earlier in the season the Ponies defeated the Cowgirls 25-10, 25-17 and 25-21 in three games at the Havre High gymnasium. But this time around HHS will be without outside hitter Sammy Evans and setter Jaclyn Evans. And with...

  • Ponies brace for Browning

    Daniel Horton, Havre Daily News sports

    In most cases, a team plays better at home than it does on the road. But in the case of the Havre High football team, this year it's been the exact opposite. Tonight the Central A Blue Ponies will take to the road for a conference game against the 0-5 Browning Indians in Browning. And though the 1-1 in conference, and 3-2 overall Ponies have had their ups and downs this season, they have played their most consistent football on the road. This season the Ponies have earned a 21-14 win over Sidney as well as a 42-0 win over...

  • A long road, but Andrews persevered

    Daniel Horton, Havre Daily News sports

    Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game of football. Whether it is in high school, college or the National Football League, we have all seen a player helped off the field with a concussion, pulled muscle or even worse. Games, seasons and even careers have been ended in the blink of an eye. New technology in equipment and even rule changes are constantly being used to make the game safer. And though some athletes may go their entire career without a major injury, Montana State University-Northern junior Will Andrews has...

  • Hi-Line Football Roundup

    Daniel Horton, Havre Daily News sports

    Another weekend of Hi-Line football is in the books, and yet again, the wins and looses came by way of big deficits. The Northern C Chinook Sugarbeeters came close to pitching their second straight shutout on Friday. But still earning a huge win and playing in Chinook, the Beeters defeated the league leading and previously undefeated (5-0) Power-Dutton-Brady Titans 54-6. With the upset win the Beeters improved their league record to 4-1. The Titans only score came in the first quarter when Aable was able to punch in a four...

Saturday afternoon at the Havre High gymnasium in Havre, the Central A Blue Ponies hosted the conference rival Butte Central Maroons, a rivalry dominated by the Ponies for years.

The Ponies won game one 25-17, but the Bison answered back with a 25-16 win in game two. And in games three and four, the Ponies grabbed two more wins by scores of 25-17 and 25-21, res...
