With the holiday break upon us, Havre fans will get their first look at the Havre High girls basketball team tonight. And they'll see the Blue Ponies against one of the toughest opponents they'll go up against all year. Fresh off a season-opening road split, including a Saturday win over Central A rival Livingston, the Ponies will make their home debut tonight when they take on the Class AA CMR Rustlers at 7 inside the Havre High gymnasium. The Rustlers are the defending runners-up in Class AA and return a senior-laden team....
The Havre High wrestling team is used to competing for the team title at the CMR Holiday Classic year after year. And while the Ponies didn't come out on top this weekend in Great Falls, they certainly gave it their best shot. Through two days of competition at what's considered the toughest wrestling tournament in Montana's regular season, the Ponies scored 171.5 points to finish in fourth place overall. Class AA Great Falls High topped the team title with 195.5 points, a mere six points ahead of Central A power Belgrade. Gl...
A week off, a first home game in over a month and having to overcome injury problems. Those were just some of the challenges the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team overcame in a Thursday night nonconference win over the University of Great Falls. Northern got a huge lift from junior guard Laramie Schwenke and sophomore Jordan Bruursema after losing senior guard Taylor Keller to an injury in the first half as the Skylights turned away the hot-shooting Argos 86-70 Thursday at the MSU-Northern Fieldhouse....
With the fall sports season now in the past, it's recruiting season. And the Montana State Uni9versity-Northern volleyball team has announced the first signee for its 2010-11 recruiting class. On Tuesday, MSU-N head coach Bill Huebsch announced the signing of outside hitter Lynnsie Togiai of Pocatello, Idaho. Togiai is currently a senior at Century High School in Pocatello. She helped lead Century to a 2010 state championship in volleyball and was one of the team's top hitters. And hitting is what led Togiai to Havre and to...
The fall sports season on the Hi-Line began just the way it ended. With football fireworks. It's hard to fathom that the Chinook Sugarbeeters put an emphatic stamp on the fall sports season on a snowy and bitterly cold November day when the season began in almost the same manner. Well it began, minus the ridiculously bad weather. The year began with plenty of football optimism when summer was still in the air. On the same Saturday back in August, the Havre Blue Ponies and Montana State University-Northern Lights romped to sea...
Hi-Line teams have already shown this season just how good the wrestling is around these parts. And prep squads from the area did so again at the Glasgow Invitational on Saturday afternoon. The Glasgow Tournament featured three-time defending Class B-C state champion and host Glasgow, as well as Class A power Lewistown. But that didn't stop the Chinook Sugarbeeters and Harlem Wildcats from having plenty of success on the mat. No team scores were reported from Saturday's meet, but the Beeters had three individual champions,...
Despite a blizzard and some cancellations, the girls high school basketball season on the Hi-Line is off and running. With tournaments in Havre, Big Sandy and Fort Benton, area teams were plenty busy on the opening weekend of the basketball season. Thursday night saw a pair of District 9C teams open the season in different ways at the Big Sandy Tournament. The host Big Sandy girls toppled Highwood 58-44 on Thursday night, getting the season off on the right foot. The Pioneers broke open a 25-22 halftime game with an 18-6 run...
A pair of Hi-Line prep football products have earned the highest honor a player can achieve for the 2010 football season. Havre High sophomore offensive lineman Danny Roe was selected to the Class A All-State Team for offense. Roe started all nine games on the offensive line for the Blue Ponies this season as a guard and had a standout year for an HHS team which had one of the top offenses in the Central A Conference. Roe also started on defense for the Blue Ponies this season and was also HHS's kicker. The Harlem Wildcats...
The Montana State University-Northern men's and women's basketball teams haven't had many home games in recent weeks. And there are some changes to the upcoming MSU-N schedules. The Lights and Skylights were set to face Concordia College of Alberta on Dec. 21 in Havre, but those games have been moved up to this Sunday. The Skylights will square off against Concordia at 6 p.m. Sunday night and the Lights will follow at 8 p.m. Both Northern teams will still take on King's University of Edmonton, Alberta on Dec. 22 in Havre....
Turn back the calendar one full year and you would almost have the same exact scenario. For the second straight December, the first full weekend of the Montana high school winter sports season was rudely interrupted by Mother Nature. The brutal winter storm which ravaged the Hi-Line and many other parts of Montana on Friday morning had a profound effect on sports this weekend. The Havre High boys and girls season-opening basketball games at Malta were called off due to extremely poor travel conditions along Highway 2 East on...
Thanks to a nearly flawless performance by the Indianapolis offense, Thursday's night's NFL Network showdown between the Colts and Tennessee Titans saw Havre's Marc Mariani get plenty of chances to show his return skills. The Titans dropped their sixth game in a row, 30-28 to the Colts, despite a valiant second-half comeback by Tennessee Thursday night in Nashville. And while the loss was certainly disappointing to Mariani and to the Titans, he again showed why he's one of the most dangerous return men in the NFL. Mariani...
The high school basketball season is brand new on the Hi-Line. And while stalking the sidelines is nothing new to legendary head coach Charlie Robinson, the man who is only one of seven coaches in Montana boys basketball history to earn over 500 wins, he is in a brand new place. This past year, Robinson, who enters his 38th season coaching high school basketball went from coaching the North Star boys to the Chinook girls. And while Robinson has 559 wins in boys basketball to his credit, coaching girls hoops is nothing new to...
They may have had to wait an extra week, but the Havre Blue Pony swim teams won't have to wait to race any longer. On Saturday, the Havre high boys and girls swim teams open 2010-11 season with the Havre Invitational at the Havre Community Pool. The Blue Ponies were scheduled to open last weekend in Kalispell, but HHS's Senior Ball, and a lack of swimmers having the required 10 practices to compete forced HHS to push back the start of the season. So instead of competing short-handed in Kalispell, the Blue Ponies will get a...
High school basketball hits the floor running all over Montana this weekend. But perhaps nowhere can fans see so many good boys and girls teams in one place than in Havre Friday and Saturday. The Native American Classic is annual tournament featuring some of the best Montana reservation schools, including Hi-Line clubs Harlem, Rocky Boy and Box Elder. The tournament gets underway Friday morning at 10 a.m. with the Box Elder boys taking on the Browning junior varsity team. The game is the first of six games on Friday and six m...
Marc Mariani knows what it's like to return big kicks and big punts in big situations. After all, before Mariani burst onto the scene returning kicks for the Tennessee Titans this season, he had one of the most prolific careers at the University of Montana doing the same thing. And he always had a flare for the dramatic. Mariani returned perhaps the most important kickoff in Griz history when his team was trailing big to South Dakota State in the first round of the 2009 FCS playoffs. Mariani, who'd only returned three...
Calif. band thanks Havre for support Editor: Hi, everyone. Well the band didn't win, but with more than 101 band entries, 10,000 votes between the top 10, and great competition, we landed in third place. Thanks SO much for all the Havre support. It means a great deal to me when I see the support from the community I grew up in. Making the Top 10 is an honor and placing third is amazing. I (and the band) truly appreciate it. If we ever go on tour I'll make sure Havre is on the list. Pete Soyer, Pleasanton, Calif. Editor: Hi,...
Editor: Post-traumatic stress disorder is a problem in any community containing warriors or old soldiers — and also very young soldiers just out of Afghanistan and Iraq. If these young warriors learn to cope with their symptoms, they are no trouble to the community nor to themselves. Women may be affected as much and as often as men. Dogs, too, have symptoms. If PTSD sufferers do not learn to cope with their symptoms — as all older PTSD sufferers must have done, since suicide is a common symptom — they can indeed be a dange...
Editor: 'The Food Safety Modernization Act' (SB 510) was passed by the U. S. Senate on Dec. 2. The most recent problem with this bill, which originated in the Senate, is that it raises revenue through various fees. According to the U. S. Constitution Section 7, the first sentence states: "All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; " therefore, a constitutional challenge will likely prevent it from becoming law. This exposes a structural shortcoming by all of those involved. This error...
Nearly three weeks had gone by since the Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team had played in a game. So Northern head coach Shawn Huse expected some rust from his No. 25 Lights as they traveled to Camrose, Alberta for a two-game series with Augustana College. And while the Lights did feel some effects from the layoff, it didn't show in the win-loss column as MSU-N pummeled Augustana in both games. "Our kids played very well after the layoff," Huse said. "I was very pleased with the effort we got from...
It wasn't the kind of home away from home performance the Montana State-University Northern wrestling team was looking for. Instead, the No. 10 Lights went to Great Falls for two days of Battle of the Rockies competition and nearly came home with little to show for it. The Lights lots duals to No. 2 McKendree College and No. 14 Embry-Riddle University on Friday afternoon, then didn't wrestle up to expectations during the Battle of the Rockies open tournament on Saturday. "We had some individual performances that went well,...
With another season beginning with the Havre Invite, the Havre High Blue Pony wrestling program found themselves starting off the season with another team victory. Friday and Saturday, the Central A Ponies hosted the Havre Invite at the Havre High gymnasium. HHS grabbed the No. 1 spot with 334.5 points. And Lewistown finished second with 167, while Malta followed with 144 points for a No. 3 finish. Cut Bank finished fourth with 106, Chinook finished fifth with 104, Browning finished sixth with 85, Chester/J-I finished...
A full slate of high school basketball is still a week away, but the Harlem High School gym will be abuzz Saturday and Sunday with college hoops.

Last weekend's losses to a pair of NCAA Division II teams in Bellingham, Wash., didn't count towards the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team's overall record. But they counted for plenty, and while the exhibition games won't show up on Northern's record, the Skylights haven't won a basketball game since they beat Dickinson State 59-50 back on Nov. 5 in Havre. That's something the Skylights (3-5) and head coach Chris Mouat are hoping to change this weekend when they play a pair of games at the...
It's been three full weeks since the Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team has been on the court. And since the No. 25 Lights suffered a pair of heartbreaking losses in Las Vegas the last time out, three weeks may have seemed like an eternity. But tonight and Saturday, the Lights (4-3) will finally get their chance to get back to their winning ways after suffering losses to nationally-ranked Robert Morris of Illinois and Vanguard University by a combined five points in Las Vegas. Northern is in Camrose,...
The years change, the athletes change from season to season, but one thing that just doesn't seem to change is how dominant the Havre High swimming program is. And the 2010-11 season looks to be another big one for the Blue Pony boys and girls. HHS won't open its season for another week, but the Pony swimmers have been hard at work. Coming into the season, the Havre High boys are the defending Class A champions, while the HHS girls will strive to get their thrown back after they didn't win the state championship for the...
