If it hadn't been for a slow start offensively and for a few untimely fouls, the Havre High girls basketball team may have come away with a win.

The Ponies trailed the Indians the entire first half, as well as for the entire third quarter. And it wasn't until the 6:56 mark in the fourth quarter the Ponies were finally able to game at 30-30 after clawing their way back after trailing by as much 11 throughout. "We...

The 9C North Star Knights got back to action on Friday when they took on and defeated the 10C Sunburst Refiners 49-43 at in Rudyard.

The Hi-Line may have been hit with a sizable snowstorm, but there were still plenty of gyms up and running over the weekend.

The Havre High boys and girls cross country teams accomplished in the last week of the regular season.

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...
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.

And though some athletes may go their entire career without a major injury, Montana State University-Northern junior Will Andrews has...

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...
There are some matches a team just wishes it could forget. Saturday at home.

And with the win the Maroons improved to 4-2 in the conference and 6-2 overall. The loss...
