It was not a typical season debut for the Havre High boys and girls cross country teams, but despite the poor weather that battered prep sports all over the state, the Blue Ponies made it out of the weekend with much-needed competition. It was a windy and rainy day Friday, but the Central A Ponies, as well as the rest of the field at the Cut Bank Time Trials ran through it anyway.

If there is one thing that is going to help propel the Havre High volleyball program into a successful 2013 season, it is going to be senior leadership. The Central A Blue Ponies have quite a few holes to fill since last season, but with six seniors highlighting the roster, the Ponies should be able to escape without too many bumps and bruises this year.

The North Stars also showed off their potential, proving they could win a few games against stando...
