There is no doubt that the talent at the Helena 7-on-7 Preview Meet is some of the best running talent in the state. And while facing that high level of talent, the Havre High cross country runners were able to turn in some good times of their own. Thursday, the Central A Blue Ponies ran in Helena at the Bill Roberts Golf Course. The HHS girls had a strong team showing, finishing with 146 points and as the No. 14 team. The HHS boys also ran strong, finishing with 151 points and as the No. 21 team. The top girls teams...
Peaking at the absolute perfect time is crucial for a successful cross country season. And while this week isn’t quite that moment the Havre High cross country teams, the beginning stages of peaking needs to be present with another trip to a very difficult race. This afternoon, the Central A Blue Ponies will run at the annual Helena Preview Meet in Helena. Today’s a 7-on-7 format is unique, but team scores will still be kept. And with the No. 1’s running against the No 1’s,...
Aubrea Worm has garnered a lot of attention this fall for how she has been able to perform on the court for the Havre High volleyball team. But nearing the end of her senior season with the Central A Blue Ponies, it’s Worm’s brain that has started the ball rolling on what should be a very promising collegiate career. Worm has played volleyball for the Ponies all four years of her prep career, traveling with the varsity squad fulltime the last two years, but making the mos...
Many of the local prep football teams had a rough go this weekend, but for area fans and players, hopefully the trend won’t continue through the rest of the season. Simms has had a great start to the season under a new head coach, and the Tigers put that new found resurgence on display with a win over the Northern C Chinook Sugarbeeters on Friday night. The Tigers defeated the Beeters 70-34, handing the Beeters their second loss of the season and their first loss since week o...
There isn’t a whole lot the Havre High football team can, or wants to take away from Friday’s night’s showdown in Belgrade. And the Blue Ponies know they don’t have much time to dwell on it. Instead, the Central A Ponies will look to move on and get ready for the remainder of the regular season schedule. Friday night in Belgrade, the Ponies faced the league leading Belgrade Panthers. It is still early in the conference season, but Friday’s results may have settled who will...
There is no place like home, and after another successful day by the Havre High cross country teams, the Central A Blue Ponies will be the first ones to tell you that. The Ponies get one chance to run in Havre every season. And recent history shows both the boys and girls teams run very well on their home course, located on the campus of Montana State University-Northern in Havre. Both teams finished near the top of the team standings at Saturday’s Havre Invitational, and y...
After a tough loss on Thursday night, this past weekend was just what the struggling Havre High volleyball team needed to hopefully get back on track through the second half of the season. The Central A Ponies played three games this weekend and went 2-1 after a Thursday loss to CMR in Great Falls. But having a quick turnaround, the Ponies forgot about Thursday’s loss and focused up for a non-conference match against the Class B Conrad Cowgirls on Friday, and a conference r...
Once again, the annual Alumni Dual turned out to be a great show. And a great way to kick off the Montana State University-Northern wrestling season. Not only did the current Lights get their first real competitive action of the young season, head coach Tyson Thivierge got to see his men wrestle, and the alumni got to come back and give back to a great program. And while it is mostly about having fun and giving back for the alumni wrestlers, it is all business for the current...
One down, two more to go for the Havre High volleyball team this weekend. But the first of three matches didn’t go as planned for the Central A Blue Ponies. Thursday night the Ponies faced the CMR Rustlers in Great Falls. The Rustlers defeated the Ponies in three games by scores of 25-17, 25-12, and 25-12. With the loss the Ponies record is now 3-6 overall, but remains 1-1 in the conference. Game one against the Rustlers was the Ponies’ most competitive showing of Thursday night as they put up 17 points in the loss. But wit...
In a sport where you get just one opportunity to compete at home each season, the Havre High cross country teams are looking to take full advantage of hosting the annual Havre Invite. Saturday, the Blue Ponies won’t be on the road, and they won’t be worrying about executing on a strange course. Instead, the Ponies will host the Havre Invite on the campus of Montana State University-Northern in Havre. The race begins and ends on the lawn in front of Cowan Hall. And the mid...
The Havre High football team has surpassed the midway point of the 2013 football season. And while the postseason is still at least four weeks away, the Blue Ponies play an extremely important conference game tonight. Playing on the road, the Central A Ponies (2-2-1, 1-0) will face the conference favorite Belgrade Panthers in Belgrade at 7. Anything is still possible in the conference standings as the rest of the regular season unfolds, but right now, this game looks like it...
Saturday night marks the second meeting between Havre High and Browning on the volleyball court this season. But while a Central A conference win is on the line, Saturday also marks a special day for the Blue Pony seniors. Before facing the Indians at the Havre High gymnasium on Saturday, six HHS seniors will be honored on senior night. This will be the last time the HHS seniors play volleyball on their home court, and the six girls deserve one last win in front of home fans....
A simple description of 5-9, 165 pounds might best describe the majority of the prep football players across the state. But narrow the focus to the surrounding Hi-Line area, bring up the fact that this player has spent the majority of his free time over the last half a decade in the weight room in an effort to get better, and a specific local athlete may come to mind. And while there are plenty of high school football players that get better in the weight room, there are also...
After two difficult losses at home last weekend, the Havre High volleyball program is more than happy to get back on the court in attempt to get on track with a busy three days this weekend. Last time on the court, the Central A Blue Ponies lost to Lewistown and Choteau at the Havre High gymnasium. Both losses were devastating to the team, but the Ponies have three more opportunities to redeem themselves with matches today, Friday and Saturday. Tonight, the Ponies will face...
Cross country may not be the main sport at Havre High, but for junior Elijah David, it is safe to say that he is very good at it. David is only in his second year as a Blue Pony harrier, and he has stepped into the role of the team’s No. 1 runner quite nicely. Last year, as a sophomore, David began his cross country career, and he has been climbing the ranks ever since. This season, the boy’s team is in somewhat of a rebuilding mode but David continues to help lead a Pony tea...
There was one Hi-Line football team that was able to squeak out a tight win over the weekend, but the rest of the local programs either blew out the completion, or got blown out. Playing Saturday on the road, the Chester/J-I Hawks avenged last weekend’s conference loss with a win over Power-Dutton-Brady in Northern C 8-Man action. The Hawks improved to 4-1 this season with a narrow 44-34 win. The Hawks typically find a lot of success with their rushing game, but this time arou...
A slow start to a football game doesn’t always indicate an uphill battle for a team. In the sport of football, the necessary adjustments can make all the difference. And if the entire team can find a way to execute after those adjustments, the momentum can shift very quickly. The Havre High football team stole all momentum on Friday night as the Central A Blue Ponies hosted the conference rival Livingston Rangers at Blue Pony Stadium for homecoming. The Ponies defeated the R...
Revenge, payback, vengeance, retribution, or whatever best describes a team turning the tables on a rival after a loss in the previous meeting is just a part of football. And coaches typically don’t use revenge as a preparation strategy, and it may never be clear just what kind of an impact that extra incentive has a game or team hungry for a win. And if there was ever a team hungry for a revenge win, it was the Havre High football team hosting the rival Livingston Rangers f...
For the second straight match the Havre High volleyball team got off to a slow start, and for the second straight match the Blue Ponies were also unable to turn that slow start into a comeback win. The Central A Ponies competed in just their second home match of the season on Saturday. And while the Ponies have without a doubt continuously gotten better since the beginning of the season, the young squad continues to struggle with consistency. Saturday at the Havre High gymnasi...
It is hard to find a race more competitive or with more individual talent than the Mountain West. The Havre High cross country team experienced the standout even first hand as the Blue Ponies continue to grow in the right direction. Saturday the Central A Ponies ran in the Mountain West in Missoula. Kalispell (173) was the No. 1 boys team, while Bozeman (184) was second, and University (251) was third. And for the girls, it was Bozeman (46) who finished as the No. 1 girls team, followed by Coeur d’Alene (97) in second, and S...
Tonight’s Homecoming game between the Havre Blue Ponies and conference rival Livingston Rangers is appealing for several reasons. The last time the Ponies and Rangers met was at the end of the 2012 season. It was the final conference game for the Ponies, and the result determined the road the Ponies took in the Class A state playoffs. The end result was a 64-32 loss for the Ponies in Livingston, a 2-2 conference record, and a No. 3 seed heading into the postseason. But it was...
Homecoming is typically marked on everybody’s schedule, but tonight’s Central A matchup is a game that would have been marked on the Havre High football calendar, homecoming or not. Tonight at 7, the Blue Ponies (1-2-1) will host the conference rival Livingston Rangers (0-4) at Blue Pony Stadium in Havre. Homecoming adds a lot of extra excitement to tonight’s game, but so does the thought of revenge. Last year, in the regular season finale, the Rangers defeated the Ponies 62-4...
Havre fans haven’t seen the Havre High volleyball team play since the Blue/White scrimmage in August. But as the Blue Ponies are finally able to make their home debut, fans should be in store to see a volleyball team that is much improved. After two nonconference wins last weekend, the Central A Ponies improved to 3-4 on the season. And with an early win over Browning; the Ponies are 1-0 in conference play. But now the Ponies prepare for two matches at home. Tonight at 7, t...
This weekend will be a true test for the Havre High cross country teams. The Mountain West Meet in Missoula brings in the state’s top runners at the Class AA, A, B and Class C level, as well as some top runners from surrounding states. And with the Central A Blue Ponies running against that talent on Saturday in Missoula, the Ponies know they are in store for a very competitive weekend. Last year, University High was the No. 1 boy’s team, while Mount Spokane, Mead High, Missoula Hellgate, Billings West and Helena High als...
