A major goal has finally been scratched from the Havre High football team’s to-do list. And from the players to the coaches, the entire Blue Pony program can breathe a sigh of relief. Sitting at 0-2-1 on the season, the Central A Ponies were not in panic mode, but a win was strongly needed. And after a couple of tight matchups the last couple of weeks, that win finally came.

It was another solid dayof running for the Havre High boys and girls cross country teams, but there is still plenty of room for improvement before the postseason races.

Daniel Horton Havre Daily News sports witer [email protected] Playing on the road is never an easy task, and the Havre High volleyball team is very much aware of that fact, as the Blue Ponies have yet to play at home to this point in the season.

The Ponies hadn’t earned a win since the opening weekend of the season, a c...
Before Friday night’s prep football game in Havre, the Havre High football team thought it might have secret weapon. It turns out the Blue Ponies were right, but freshman Parker Filius will not be a secret moving forward.

But after Friday’s 33-0 win over Glendive, more people will surely be tu...

Wins have been hard to come by for the Havre High volleyball team this season, but hopefully this weekend will change that. After a couple of tournaments the last two weekends, two matches on the road seems like a relatively light weekend, but facing two very good Class A programs, there will be nothing easy about Saturday’s matchups. Last weekend, the Central A Ponies played in Great Falls at the Electric City Classic, playing nine matches. Saturday, they will be in Lewistown where they will play two non-conference o...
There have been a lot of important games and landmark wins in the Havre High football program’s history, and nine years ago, the first home game of the 2004 season was one of the biggest. Now, the Blue Ponies and Glendive Red Devils don’t meet very often, but back in the day, these two teams used to clash on the gridiron quite a bit, and even battled for the coveted Moore Trophy.

If last weekend was any kind of preview into the future of the Northern C Six-Man football season, final standings at the end of the season may be flipped upside down compared to recent years. For a while now, the Big Sandy Pioneers have been a powerhouse in Six-Man football. That fact was highlighted by a trip to the state championship game last year.

If anybody should be excited about getting back on the football field, it’s the Havre High football team. In athletics, it is hard to think of anything worse than ending in a tie. Nobody likes a loss for obvious reasons, but ending a nonconference rivalry game at 6-6 after basically just one half of play is maybe just as bad. That is the situation the Central A Blue Ponies found themselves in in their home opener last Friday night, as the Ponies tied the Miles City Cowboys 6...

In Class B action, the Harlem Wildcats started their season 0-1, as visiting Big Timber earned the 21-6 win.

The end of the prep football season is typically when the weather starts to turn ugly. Especially in the state playoffs, teams have to deal with the elements and they play in the wind, they play in the rain, and they play in the snow. But football players and schedules can endure a lot and it takes special circumstances to postpone or cancel a football game completely. A severe lightning storm looming over Blue Pony Stadium in Havre on a Friday night falls under that category of a special circumstance. Friday night in Havre,...
There was a feeling in the air that the Havre High football team had an opportunity to beat the Miles City Cowboys for the first time in a long time.

The game was ended after a two-hour delay due...
