For one day, the rain stayed away. But the Havre High tennis teams needed two. The Blue Ponies got in both of their duals during Friday’s action at the Great Falls Invitational, but rain washed away the second day of the event. Friday, the Havre boys tied Butte High 4-4 and were blanked by Billings Senior 8-0. Meanwhile, the HHS girls lost to Butte 6-2 and were downed by Senior 5-3. Havre was set to face Billings Skyview and Cut Bank on Saturday, but the weather forced the ent...
Spring rain is always a threat to softball games, but the rain that rolled through Havre over the weekend shut down an entire tournament. Saturday, the Havre High softball team was poised to host the annual Havre Invite at the Sixth Avenue Memorial Field in Havre. But rain rolled over the Hi-Line and instead, the tournament was canceled and the Central A matchup between the Blue Ponies and Lewistown Golden Eagles was postponed. Today, the Ponies, 2-2 in the conference...
Going into another high-profile track meet, the Havre High track and field teams knew it was going to have fight and battle for every point and place it would get on the road. And that was the case Saturday at the ARM Invitational in Whitefish. The Central A Blue Ponies have been competing very well over the last several meets, but were limited in the team standings over the weekend. With points going to the top six athletes, the HHS girls and boys finished near the middle of...
In the world of sports, success is often measured by winning or losing. And taking it one step further, sometimes it’s not even as simple as wins or losses, as most teams, coaches, and individual athletes have their sights completely locked on championships, titles, and No. 1 finishes. Nobody remembers second place, and nobody remembers the consolation rounds, but being a champion doesn’t come easy, or without immense effort. The Filius family may have made being a cha...
The weekend forecast has already changed, and changed again for the Havre area, but the Havre High softball program is hoping for a window of opportunity, as the Central A Blue Ponies gear up to host their annual Havre Softball Invitational. Saturday, several teams will gather at Sixth Avenue Memorial Field and at Hospital Park in Havre. This weekend, Lewistown, Conrad, Glasgow, Shelby and Cut Bank will be in attendance for varsity action, while Shelby, Lewistown, Cut Bank,...
Coming off of a couple good showings at the Malta Invitational track meet Tuesday, the Havre High boys and girls track and field teams are looking to continue on the upswing. But the competition Saturday in Whitefish is going to be a lot stiffer than Tuesday’s. Saturday the Havre High Blue Ponies will compete in Whitefish ARM Invitational. There will be several Class AA teams in attendance, as well as plenty of Class A talent out of the west the Ponies can’t wait to see. Squ...
Tuesday was a very successful day for the Havre High boys and girls tennis teams in Great Falls. Now, the Blue Ponies will try to build on that success. Friday and Saturday, the HHS tennis teams will be back in the Electric City for the Great Falls Invitational. The two-day meet is a dual tournament where the Ponies are scheduled to play Class AA stalwarts Butte High, Billings Senior and Billings Skyview, as well as Class B rival Cut Bank. And with four more matches on the...
The three Hi-Line United soccer teams are already several games into their 2014 seasons, but there is still plenty of soccer action coming up for the local talent. Once again, the United have put together three teams, including the U19 co-ed team, the U18 girls team, and the U16 co-ed team. The U19 squad is just two years removed from back-to-back state titles and is currently sitting with a 3-2-1 record. The U18 girls are sitting at 0-4-0, while the U16 squad is sitting at 0-6-0. After going through the rebuilding stages...
If the Havre High tennis teams didn’t get what they were hoping for out of last Saturday’s Central A Duals in Lewistown, the Blue Pony boys and girls made up for it in the Electric City Tuesday. Havre was in Great Falls for duals against Butte Central, as well as Class AA CMR and Great Falls High. And by all accounts, HHS head coach George Ferguson was much more pleased with what he saw. “We played a lot of tennis Tuesday,” Ferguson said. “And that’s exactly what we needed. I...
It’s right back to work for the Havre High boys and girls tennis teams. And today, even more Blue Ponies will get in on the action. Havre High travels to Great Falls today for four dual matches, starting with duals against Southwest A stalwart Butte Central and Central A rival Lewistown this morning. This afternoon, Havre will turn its attention to matches against Class AA rivals Great Falls High and CMR. And with the Blue Ponies coming off a rain-shortened Central A Duals l...
Havre High’s track and field numbers may keep the boys and girls teams from winning some of the bigger meets throughout the season, but the individual Blue Pony athletes who continue to place and score points also continue to impress the coaching staff. Nearly 20 teams made the trip to Belgrade Saturday for the annual Gallatin Valley Invitational, and the competition was fierce. But teams, like they so often do, found themselves chasing the hosting Panthers. The Belgrade b...
The Havre High boys and girls tennis teams were hoping for a full day of duals Saturday in Lewistown, but rain forced the Blue Ponies to take what they could get. Havre was set to square off against Central A rivals Livingston, Anaconda and Lewistown for the only times this season, but rainy weather forced some of the day to be called off. Still, the HHS boys did top Anaconda 5-2 and won four of five matches against Livingston. On the girls side, the Ponies beat the...
Unfortunately, some poor spring weather made another appearance over the weekend and altered the Havre High softball schedule. After defeating the conference rival Browning Indians Thursday, the Central A Blue Ponies were looking forward to getting in another four non-conference games Friday and Saturday. But as rain hit across most of the state, the Ponies were limited to just two games, one varsity and one junior varsity, at the Conrad Invitational in Conrad. Saturday’s p...
Sydne Huston has put in a lot of work on the softball diamond over the years, and it is that effort that has resulted in Huston being an intrigal part of the Havre High softball program. Playing since roughly the age of six, and growing up in Havre’s youth softball program, Huston has played the last three years on the Central A Blue Pony softball team. Huston also played her freshman year, but spent most of the time with the freshman and junior varsity squads. Near the end o...
To start the season, the Havre High track and field program was focused on conditioning and getting kids into the right events for them, as well as the Blue Pony team. But heading into another competition filled weekend on the road, the Ponies are ready to put their focus and attention on beating that competition. Coming off a home dual with the Great Falls High junior varsity Bison Tuesday, the Central A Ponies will get back on the road. Saturday HHS will compete at the Belgr...
Rain, rain go away. That’s what the Havre Blue Ponies are hoping for when it comes to Saturday. The HHS tennis teams are scheduled to travel to Lewistown Saturday for an all-important day of duals against Central A rivals Livingston, Anaconda and Lewistown. Rain is in the forecast however, and head coach George Ferguson said it would be tough on his team if the event doesn’t get played, for a number of a reasons. “These are very important matches,” Ferguson said. “First,...
For the second consecutive outing, the Havre High softball team made short work of the conference rival Browning Indians. Last weekend the Central A Blue Ponies defeated the Indians 21-0 in Havre. Thursday the Ponies took down the Indians 16-0 in Browning, improving their conference and overall records to 2-2. The Ponies are not done playing this weekend, as they will remain on the road today, hopefully playing two nonconference games at the Conrad Invitational, weather...
Some changes have been made to the Havre High softball schedule for this weekend’s action, and the Central A Blue Ponies are also entering somewhat blind, but no matter the weather, and no matter the opponent, the Ponies are looking to play well and earn some wins. Today, the Ponies (1-3) are in Browning for one conference game against the Indians. And Friday the Ponies will remain on the road, playing in the Conrad Invitational in Conrad. The Conrad Invite was supposed to be...
The Class AA Great Falls High junior varsity track team put up a good fight, but it was the Havre High boys and girls teams that came out on top after the Blue Ponies hosted a dual meet. Tuesday, the two programs met at the Havre Middle School track in Havre. There were some varsity athletes in attendance for the Bison, but most of the competitors make up the junior varsity team. The Blue Pony girls outscored the Bison 96-42, and the Blue Pony boys outscored the Bison 86-57....
Bad weather is a part of spring sports. There’s no getting around that. And bad weather doomed the original date for the annual Havre Tennis Invitational back on April 12. But what Mother Nature took from the Havre High tennis teams, she gave back to the Blue Ponies Monday, in a big way. Under warm sunny skies and little wind, the Blue Ponies racked up win after win at the 2014 Havre Invite, which was played at both the Bill Vaughey Memorial Tennis Courts and the new courts o...
The story for the Havre High softball program early on this season has been too many errors, and that one bad inning defensively that the Blue Ponies just can’t seem to shake from their system. Fortunately neither was really a factor in a Central A conference win over Browning on Saturday. But facing a much better opponent in the conference rival Belgrade Panthers Thursday, the Ponies found it a bit harder to win when not playing to their full potential. Belgrade defeated Havr...
The Havre High boys and girls tennis teams are very busy right now. And the Blue Ponies took a big step forward this past weekend in Cut Bank. The Ponies were in Cut Bank for the annual Class A Duals Friday-Saturday, and combined, they went 7-1 in boys and girls competition. And while HHS head coach George Ferguson was excited his team won so many matches against all Northwest A competition, he was even more excited with how his players won those matches. “This was a great w...
The Havre High tennis teams are in Cut Bank today and Saturday for some big duals against Class A rivals from the west. But the busy weekend will spill over into next week for the Blue Pony netters. Monday, the Ponies will host the rescheduled Havre Invitational tennis tournament. The tourney was slated for April 12 but was moved to Monday because of inclement weather. The move wasn't ideal as the Ponies would normally have many more matches under their belt heading into to...
Compared to Thursday's matchups with the Belgrade Panthers, Saturday’s home games against the Browning Indians will have a much different feel for the Havre High faspitch softball team. After facing the Class A power Panthers in two games on the road Thursday, the Central A Blue Ponies (0-2) will now face the conference rival Browning Indians Saturday at the Sixth Avenue Memorial Field in Havre. The Ponies and Indians will faceoff at 1 p.m., marking the long awaited home d...
The Havre High tennis teams have already played in Cut Bank this season. But the Blue Ponies are about to go back there for an even bigger challenge. Friday and Saturday, the Pony netters will be on the Cut Bank courts for the annual Class A Duals. It's a meet in which HHS gets to see plenty of Class A competition, and one that head coach George Ferguson says is very important to the Ponies' season. "This is our first big meet of the year," Ferguson said. "Usually, we have...
