A win or a loss this weekend won't budge the conference standings for or against the Havre High volleyball team, but the Blue Ponies would love nothing more than to end the regular season with some positive momentum against one of the top teams in the conference. The Blue Ponies are in fourth place with a 2-5 record in the Central A and 5-11 record overall. But in the final regular season match, the Ponies will face the No. 2 team in the conference. The Lewistown Golden...
The wide receiver position at Havre High has been deep and star studded over the years. It seems like no matter who the Blue Ponies graduate the previous season, there is always a senior wide out ready and willing to step up and take over. This season, that senior happens to be 5-6, 160-pound Thomas Gruber. Last season Gruber was a junior starter, but may have gotten lost in the shadows of First-Team All-State receiver Zach Plum and First-Team All-State tight end Thurman Holds...
In a weekend where the Havre High volleyball team could have made some noise in the Central A race, the Blue Ponies continued to struggle late in the season on the road. Havre faced two conference opponents in Browning on Saturday. But trying to get find some sort of consistent level of play before the post season tournaments, the Ponies dropped two more matches. The Belgrade Panthers defeated the Ponies in three games by scores of 25-23, 25-26, and 25-23, and the Livingston Rangers defeated the Ponies in three games by...
For years now, the Carroll College Fighting Saints have had a way of making it a long afternoon when going head-to-head with the Montana State University-Northern Lights. In fact, coming into Saturday's game in Havre, Carroll had done it to Northern 17 straight times. And on a sunny and windy day at Blue Pony Stadium, the Saints made it 18 long days in a row. The No. 7 Saints defeated the Lights 42-14 in Frontier Conference play at Blue Pony Stadium in Havre Saturday....
For the third straight week the Montana State University-Northern football team struggled in Frontier Conference play.

Playing the final game of the regular season, the Havre High football team still had several areas of concern to check off of its list before rolling into the postseason. A win was also on the want list, and the No. 2 Central A Ponies accomplished that with a 32-6 romping over the conference rival Browning Indians Friday night in Browning.

The Hawks are 7-1 this season, and are tied in the league standings with Belt and Simms, both also 7-1 this year. But the Hawks are also ranked No. 4 in...
The beauty behind the conference schedule is that the Havre High volleyball team always gets a second crack at their Central A foes. And when facing two conference rivals they haven't seen since the second week of the season, the Blue Ponies are more than ready to see how they match up the second time around. Early in the season, the Livingston Rangers and Belgrade Panthers both swept the Ponies in three games. The Rangers defeated the Ponies by scores of 25-17, 25-20, and...

It was an odd week in prep football with most of the games being played Wednesday and Thursday, but the unusual schedule didn't throw off all of the local teams. Unfortunately though, the Six-Man North Star Knights weren't one of those teams to come away with a win.

A game can look tight to start, but that same game can quickly get away from a team due to turnovers. The Havre High football team was in a tight game with the non-conference Polson Pirates on Friday night in Polson, but watched an early lead disappear against a very talented Northwestern A team after a tough defensive and offensive outing by the Ponies. The Pirates defeated the Central A Ponies 52-20. The Pirates are now 2-1 in league and 5-2 overall, while Havre dropped to 3-4 overall, while remaining in second place in...

It is rare to find a prep athlete able to earn a varsity letter all four years of high school, especially in two sports. But it is even more rare to find an athlete who is able to do that, but also excel in both sports in dominating fashion. The Havre High Blue Ponies found an athlete capable of such accomplishments in Tyler Adams. Adams is in his senior year at Havre High, and approaching the end of his senior season with Central A Blue Pony football team. But with his...

Cooper Spicher's big senior season has helped the Knights bounce back After a rough stretch that spans at least three seasons, the North Star Knights’ football program has finally bounced back. The Six-Man Knights finished the season with a 3-5 record a year ago, but have already turned in a 5-1 record this fall. The Knights have also clinched a spot in the Class C playoffs already, but are now in the hunt for a conference title and a top seed heading into the posseason. A...
It was another tough week for local football programs, and if it wasn’t for one team’s big second half, the Hi-Line would have gone winless on the weekend. The Northern C 8-Man Chester/J-I Hawks recorded the only local win over the weekend. Holding a slim 22-20 lead over the Great Falls Central Mustangs at the half, the Hawks went on to record a 50-20 win, also improving to 6-1 this season, sliding into second place in the conference, and ruining the Mustangs’ homec...
Sometimes one game can define a football team’s season. And once the 2013 season comes to an end, the Havre High football team may very well be able to look back and say that game was the Blue Ponies’ home finale. Friday night the Central A Blue Ponies hosted the conference rival Lewistown Golden Eagles at Blue Pony stadium in Havre. And in what can best be described as a nail biter, the Ponies found a way to come back from a 21-7 fourth-quarter deficit and earn a very dra...
If there was any doubt that the Havre High offense still housed the capability to explode at any time, the Blue Ponies put that doubt to rest Friday night under the lights of Blue Pony Stadium. The No. 2 Central A Ponies hosted the winless conference rival Lewistown Golden Eagles Friday in Havre. And for the first three quarters of action, the Ponies had local fans worried about an upset. The Ponies scored on the opening drive of the game, a two-yard pass from Dane Warp to Tho...

Anytime the Ponies take the field they look for a win. But add in a devastating Central A conference loss the week before, a beatable conference opponent on this tonight’s menu, and nine seniors playing in thei...
All across Montana, high school football fields are simply a patch of grass and a couple of field goal posts. But Blue Pony Stadium in Havre is more than that.

On Saturday, the Havre High volleyball team will attempt to grab a third straight win. And on a weekend with just one match, the Central A Blue Ponies can throw everything they have at the nonconference match.
