A win over Browning last weekend helped the Havre High boys basketball team slide into a three-way tie for first place in the Central A. But being there just one week isn't enough, and Blue Ponies are looking to maintain that top seed with two more conference wins this weekend. The Central A Blue Ponies have already faced the Livingston Rangers and Belgrade Panthers this season. HHS defeated the Rangers 59-32, but lost to the Panthers 65-47 back in December. And the rematches...
Preparing for the state tournament continues to be the main goal for the Havre High wrestling team, but the next step in that direction comes in the form of the annual Class A Duals. Havre High will spend another weekend on the road, this time in Lewistown. Friday, the Central A Blue Ponies will dual Hardin, Anaconda and Miles City. Depending on how the No. 1 Ponies do Friday determines whom they face Saturday. Hardin is also the No. 7 team in Class A according to the most...

With a lot of teams reaching the midway point in the season, wins are growing more and more crucial, and for some Hi-Line boys’ teams, they are still hard to come by, especially in district play. Last Thursday the Hays-Lodge Pole Thunderbirds defeated the Turner Tornadoes 82-48 in Turner. The 9C matchup was lopsided and led by HLP’s Tyson Shambo’s 19 pionts. But Nate Doney and Sterling White Cow also scored 16 points each for the Thunderbirds, while Turner got 17 from Bret...
The Havre High wrestling team entered the weekend with high hopes of a team title at maybe the toughest tournament outside of the state tournament. But Class AA Great Falls High had other ideas, as it was the Bison who captured their third straight team title at the annual Jug Beck Rocky Mountain Classic in Missoula. The Bison racked up 151 points through Friday, but came alive on Saturday to finish with an impressive 249 team points. Havre wasn’t too far off from the team t...
A split at home is sometimes a tough pill to swallow midway through the season. But the Havre High boys basketball team can be proud of a split that gave them a huge boost in the conference standings. The Central A Blue Ponies were in the middle of the pack entering the weekend. But coming out of the weekend, HHS is now the No. 1 team in the Central A. The bump in the rankings came after the Ponies were able to defeat the Browning Indians 76-50 Friday night in Havre. In nonlea...
Over the last couple of weeks the Havre High girls basketball team has made it a habit of earning dominating and crucial victories.

Over the weekend the Ponies grabbed two more wins. Friday night on the road, the Ponies managed to return from Browning with a...
The good news for the Havre High boys basketball team is that the Blue Ponies get to play their next two games at home. The not so good news for the Ponies is that the next two games will also be a challenge. Riding a two-game winning streak, the Central A Ponies (2-1, 4-4) will need to continue to play well over the next two nights. Last weekend, the offense was the most balanced it has been all season. That trend may pay dividends as the Ponies face the conference rival...
The tough games keep coming for the Havre High girls basketball team, but so should the wins. Last weekend, the Central A Blue Ponies seemed to hit full stride with wins over Conrad and Lewistown. Now headed into another regular season weekend, the Ponies (3-0,5-3) will face two more talented programs. Conference games on the road make a tough matchup even tougher in the Central A. But the Ponies will look to continue their dominance over conference opponents tonight in Browni...
A week after getting back into the groove of things with a nearly 100 percent lineup, the Havre High wrestling team now heads into another daunting weekend in Missoula. Missoula's annual Jug Beck Rocky Mountain Classic brings in talent from all over the state of Montana, as well as surrounding areas. Last year, the Ponies took in a less-than-healthy lineup and finished as the No. 10 team. But with a full head of steam, Friday and Saturday the Ponies will look to finish a...

There are always some cancelations or postponed games during the winter sports season. And while some games were made up this past week, at least one more local game was canceled over the weekend. On Tuesday the Class B Harlem Wildcats attempted to hold onto the No.. 2 spot in the 2B ranks, but fell to the Malta Mustangs 66-39 in Malta.

Having a healthy and full lineup makes a big difference in prep wrestling, and having both of those things back in their favor, the Havre High grapplers were back to looking as impressive as any team in the state. A week ago at the Bozeman Invitational, the Central A Blue Ponies finished in eighth place as a team. Due to some sickness and injury, the team was less than 100 percent. But coming away with yet another championship team finish over the weekend, the Ponies are back...

Entering the weekend 3-3 overall, the Central A Blue Ponies had recorded some decent wins, but also lost some close matchups. And while fans have been waiting to see just what the team is capable of, wins over Conrad and...
Certainly, the Havre High boys basketball team felt a win over the Conrad Cowboys Friday night was of the utmost importance, especially coming off a tough sweep at home last weekend. And though the Blue Ponies got all they could handle from the Cowboys for much of the contest, a win was exactly what they got. Havre started what would become a weekend sweep, beating the Class B Cowboys 51-39 Friday night at the HHS gymnasium. The Ponies would go on to knock off Central A rival...
The Havre High boys basketball team is nearing the midway point of the season.

A win is needed to stop the downward slide, and the Ponies will first get that chance tonight when they will host the Class B Conrad Cowboys at the Havre High...
After starting the season 3-3 overall and 2-0 in conference play, the Havre High girls basketball program has a chance to pick up two more wins with one nonconference game at home, and one conference matchup on the road this weekend.

Tonight, the Ponies will face the Class B Conrad Cowgirls on the road in Conrad. Saturday, the Ponies will return home to...
If the Havre High wrestling team can continue to get healthy and plug some holes in the lineup, then the Central A Blue ponies should be able to return to their early season dominance. Last weekend in Bozeman, the Ponies found themselves finishing the weekend as the No. 8 team. But with some key injuries, including Jace Billy at 195 pounds, and some late scratches due to the dreaded cold and flu season, it was clear that the Ponies were less than 100 percent. Prior to Bozeman...

Basketball action resumed for area teams after the holiday break and results varied, including big wins, tough losses, and even some weather-caused cancelations and postponements. On Thursday, the District 9C Big Sandy Pioneers continued their struggles in 2014.

Jerry Hanson continued to lead the...
Some outings, the Havre High girls basketball team looks poised to go on a great run through the regular season and into the postseason. But in other outings, like the two games they played this weekend, the Central A Blue Ponies find themselves fighting an uphill battle. Coming out of the short break in action, the Ponies played two non-conference games. Friday, the Ponies were in Great Falls to take on the Class AA GFH Bison. The Bison defeated the Ponies 54-51. And...
It isn’t often that the Havre High wrestling team falls out of the top two or three in team standings at the conclusion of a tournament. It happened this time weekend, but that is a testament to the kind of competition the Blue Ponies face on a week-to-week basis. Friday-Saturday, the Central A Ponies faced a tough field at the Tom LeProwse Memorial Open in Bozeman. The Ponies finished as the No. 8 team with 144 points. Great Falls High was first with 255, while Missoula B...
The non-conference portion of the schedule has proven to be difficult for the Havre High boys basketball team this season. But the tough matchups have also given the Blue Ponies plenty of areas to work on.

The Central A Ponies were at the Havre High Gymnasium for two games over the weekend. Friday the Class AA Great Falls High Bison defeated the Ponies 62-47....
