After entering the holiday break looking to do a little tweaking and looking for some much needed rest, the Havre High wrestling team is once again ready to take the mat. But the top-ranked Class A Blue Ponies couldn’t have entered the break wrestling any better. They had earned top finishes each weekend in action including a second-place finish at the CMR Holiday Classic and a No. 1 finish at the Mining City Duals. If the Ponies utilized the break well, they should c...
There probably won’t be too many teams entering the holiday break hotter then the Havre High wrestling team has gotten just three weeks into the season. The Central A Blue Ponies have been dominant in nearly every outing this season, and the trend continued over the weekend in Great Falls. The Ponies were one of several teams to compete in the annual CMR Holiday Classic, one of the toughest outings on the HHS schedule year in and year out. For the second straight year, the P...
There will be short break in Hi-Line basketball action with the holiday break, but hopefully local fans got their fill until play resumes.

Harlem led the contest 14-11 early, but the Stars ran away with the win with a 17 point second quarter and 18 point fourth quarter. Isaiah Laurence carried the Wildcats with 14...
Four games into the season, the Havre High boys’ basketball team continues to fall in and out of the win column. But in their 2-2 start, the Central A Blue Ponies continue to play well on both sides of the ball. A week ago, the Ponies may have just been outmatched by a talented Class AA CMR squad when they started 1-1, but over this weekend, the Ponies proved they could still push for a top spot in the conference one year removed from a rebuilding season. Playing at the Havre...

Friday and Saturday the Ponies played two Central A Conference games at the Havre high Gymnasium.

A dominating start to the season had the Havre High wrestling team rolling through the schedule in the first two weeks of action. But the Class AA Great Falls High Bison gave the Blue Ponies their first road block of the year.

Looking to build off of last year’s rebuilding season, the Havre High boys basketball team has already gotten off to a better start compared to where it was a year ago.

Even after claiming back-to-back regular season conference titles, as well as back-to-back Central A tournament titles, the table is set for the Havre High girls basketball program to have one of its best overall seasons in recent history. The last time the Blue Ponies won the Class A state title was during the 1997 season, with a 62-43 win over Dillon. But the Ponies made several appearances in the state chipper that decade, and are looking to get back to that level again...
A young and inexperienced program takes its lumps early, but with every passing game, tournament, and season, that young program grows older and more experienced. The Havre High boys basketball team now has a complete season with head coach Curt Leeds behind it.

Signing up to compete with...

If the way a prep wrestling team starts a new season is any indication on how the season will end up, then the Class A Havre Blue Ponies should be very excited.

It is not every year that a high school wrestling program can win a state championship, then turn around a year later and return most of its grapplers.

The story of the Blue Pony dynasty continues to be written. And as this season is just getting underway, the Ponies are looking to capture their second consecutive Class A...
