This weekend the Havre High softball team will embark on the postseason, and with a state tournament berth on the line, standout Blue Ponies like Paige Henderson will look to perform at a high level. Henderson has been a staple in Havre softball since the young age of six years old. Henderson grew up in Havre youth softball, but also competed in basketball, volleyball, and track and field in middle school. But choosing to cut back on the sports she played and focus on...
The Havre High boys and girls tennis teams went through an intense, pressure-packed three days last weekend at the Central A Divisional tournament in Bozeman, but the reward for nine HHS tennis players is competing at the state’s highest level of competition. Thursday and Friday at locations around Billings, boys and girls from the Blue Pony tennis teams will compete at the Class A state tournament, and longtime Havre head coach George Ferguson couldn’t be more excited for...
The competition the Havre High softball team ran into over the weekend was stiff. But in the final weekend of the regular season, the Central A Blue Ponies were able to get four more games under their belt, as well as one more win before the post season begins. HHS spent the weekend in Butte, playing four nonconference games in two days at the Butte Central Invite. Friday, the Ponies went 0-2, losing a 7-2 game to Polson, followed by a 6-2 loss to Libby. Saturday the Ponies fared a little bit better on the road by going 1-1,...
In recent years, the Glasgow Reds have proven they are one of the best American Legion baseball teams in the state. The Havre North Stars American Legion baseball team got the opportunity to match up with the Reds' A and B squads, and saw how talented the Reds' program is first hand. Sunday at Legion Field in Havre, the North Stars hosted Glasgow for a non-conference doubleheader. And coming off of a home split with the Great Falls Electrics earlier in the week, the North Star...
Central A Division tennis titles are nothing new to the Havre Blue Ponies. But their most recent one was one of dominance. But in recent years, the Ponies have been winning divisional titles by very slim margins. Not this weekend in Bozeman, however. Havre scored 48 points, swept the singles and doubles titles and routed the rest of the field at the 2014 Central A tennis tournament Thursday-Friday in Bozeman. Anaconda was a distant second with 30 points, while Lewistown...
Once upon a time the Havre High girls tennis team was racking up Central A and Class A state trophies at a rapid pace. But the Blue Ponies hadn't carried a trophy home since the Central A Divisional of 2010. On Saturday morning in Bozeman, that all changed. Blue Pony junior Tatiana Ralph scored a dramatic and unusual win in the girls singles consolation match of the 2014 Central A Divisional tournament in Bozeman, and that win gave Havre 47 team points, one better than defendi...
There is a solid list of things that the Havre High softball program would like to clean up before entering the post season. But time to do so is quickly running out as it enters the final weekend on the regular season schedule. Today and Saturday the Central A Blue Ponies will be in Butte for the Butte Central Invitational. It is a nonconference weekend for the Ponies who will enter the divisional tournament next weekend 3-5, and as the No.4 seed. The Ponies also fell below...
With a pair of state championships under its belt, the Havre High girls tennis program has seen great days in the past. But that doesn't mean the Blue Pony girls who currently make up the team aren't a talented group. In fact, the six seniors that make up a good chunk of the varsity program this season know they are talented and still have their sights set on postseason accolades and hardware. Doubles partners Breck Don and Ellery Bresler, and Morgan Jappe and Haley Graham,...
There was some late-game drama in both games of Wednesday night's conference doubleheader, but the Havre North Stars American Legion baseball team managed to escape with at least one win at home. The North Stars welcomed in the Great Falls Electrics for two conference games at Legion Field in Havre, and Havre found itself leading both games late, but couldn't fend off the surging Electrics in both. The North Stars won game one 9-8 but lost the nightcap 11-6 in extra innings....
A two-year reign at the top of District 9C came to an end for Chinook this season, with another team crowned champion in Havre.

Some athletic programs find a groove of success and settle in for the long haul. That is where the North Star girls track team has operated, as the Knights have consistently dominated the District 9C year-in and year-out for the last eight seasons. Wednesday at the District 9C track meet in Havre, the Knights won their eighth consecutive 9C title. The Havre Middle School track has been a place of great success for the Knights, while the rest of the district continues to fight...
Havre High head tennis coach George Ferguson believes every day of the season is part of a building process. And what the Blue Ponies build toward each season is the Central A Divisional tournament. Well, that process has reached a culmination, as the Central A Divisional meet starts Thursday afternoon in Bozeman. The tournament is scheduled to run through Friday evening, and with it, four spots in boys singles, girls singles, boys doubles and girls doubles at the Class A...
The season is still just getting underway for the Havre North Stars American Legion baseball team, and after doing some positive things in last week’s season-opening doubleheader, the North Stars will get four more opportunities to continue building this week. Havre is 0-2 to start but will play a conference doubleheader tonight at Legion Field in Havre against the Great Falls Electrics. Tonight marks the home debut for the North Stars, who will remain at home Sunday a...
With high hopes of clinching a top seed before the Central A Divisional softball tournament in two weeks, the Havre High Blue Ponies did not have the positive ending to the regular season conference schedule they were looking for. After rain delayed the conference doubleheader scheduled for Saturday, the Ponies and conference rival Livingston Rangers made up both games Tuesday afternoon at the Sixth Avenue Memorial Field in Havre. There was a lot riding on the Central A matchu...
Baseball is back on the Hi-Line, and more specifically Havre, as the Havre North Stars American Legion baseball team played a season-opening doubleheader over the weekend. As the North Stars continue to try and climb out of the rebuilding stages under third-year head coach Danny Wirtzberger, Havre opened the season with an 0-2 road trip. Playing in Lewistown Sunday, the Redbirds defeated the North Stars 11-1 in game one, and again 6-5 in the nightcap. Hopefully, Havre can find the win column in its next outing, two...
The Helena Invitational tennis tournament is without question the toughest tournament on the Montana high school circuit during the regular season. And though wins are hard to come by, Havre High head coach George Ferguson wouldn’t trade the Helena Invite for any other tournament in Montana each season. Friday and Saturday, the Blue Ponies battled the elements, as well as every Class AA team in the state, and Ferguson said he couldn’t have been more pleased with the res...
According to the 2014 schedule, the Havre High softball program was in line to have a pretty busy conference weekend. But more spring rain made its way through the area, and instead of three Central A matchups, the Blue Ponies played just one. Friday the Ponies wrapped up their regular season meetings with the Lewistown Golden Eagles. Havre took game one in Havre last week, but the Eagles returned the favor with a 16-6 win in Lewistown Friday afternoon. Saturday the Ponies...
Late season injuries can wreck a good track and field season. That is why the Havre High program isn’t taking any chances with divisionals and state just around the corner. Plenty of Central A Blue Pony track and field stars will get some much-needed rest this weekend. But those who are not resting will continue to face off against another tough field of competitors. Saturday the Ponies will host a triangular with the Central A Lewistown Golden Eagles and the Class B Malta M...
Havre has found recent success on the softball diamond due to some great bats. The Central A Blue Ponies were briefly cooled down Tuesday night in nonleague play in Great Falls, but heating the bats back up going into the weekend could mean three much needed conference wins. In the last week the Ponies conference record was bumped up to 3-2 with a win over Lewistown Monday in Havre. The Ponies’ overall record also now sits at 5-3 after a loss to the CMR junior varsity T...
The Havre High tennis teams need to play right now. And if the weather forecast for this weekend turns out to be wrong, the Blue Ponies will get to play a lot and against strong competition.

HHS head coach George Ferguson said Havre has a unique opportunity this weekend, and he hopes the weather will...
Another Glasgow Top 10 track meet is in the books, and like every year, several local athletes performed very well against some of the area’s best track and field stars. Tuesday evening in Glasgow, standouts from Havre High, Chinook, Hays-Lodge Pole, and Harlem turned in good numbers and marks on the track and in the field. No team totals were kept, but the Hi-Line’s best still shined in individual events. On the girls side of things, the Havre High Blue Ponies placed in fou...
After turning red hot over the last couple weeks, the Havre High girls softball team ran into a wall in Great Falls. Tuesday afternoon the Central A Blue Ponies played one nonconference game against the Class AA CMR Rustlers junior varsity squad in Great Falls. Unfortunately, a Pony team that has erupted at the plate in recent outings was very limited, as the Rustlers defeated the Ponies 11-1. The Ponies overall record dropped to 5-3 with the loss. But the lack of runs...
Lacey Waid has been extremely busy the last four years as a standout Havre High Blue Pony athlete. But having been offered a track and field scholarship to Montana State University-Billings, Waid won’t be slowing down anytime soon, as she takes her athleticism to the collegiate level. Waid has been a force for Pony athletics since her freshman year, but as a senior, she is having her best year yet. The highlight so far was a Class A state basketball title she and the rest o...
Over the last half of a decade, the Havre High softball team has not been able to defeat the conference rival Lewistown Golden Eagles. It has been a frustrating Central A rivalry for the Blue Ponies, one that has finally come to an exciting end. After the annual Havre Invitational was canceled Saturday due to rain, the conference game between the Ponies and Eagles was rescheduled to Monday at the Sixth Avenue Memorial Field in Havre. And after loss, after loss, after loss at...
