In two games against the nationally ranked Lewis-Clark State Warriors this season, the Montana State University-Northern Skylights had LCSC all but beat. Only, they didn't, as LCSC stormed back to beat Northern last month in Havre, and again in Lewiston, Idaho. Friday night in the Armory Gymnasium, Northern found itself in the same situation for the third time. The Skylights led 17th-ranked LCSC by as many as 18 points, but could only watch as the Warriors stormed back to cut...
Heading into Saturday night's game against Montana Western, the Montana State University-Northern Lights didn't know if they would have another home game or not. However, on a night when the Lights were honoring seniors Caulin Bakalarski and Justin Dunsmore, it was fitting that those two players, more than any others, were responsible for leading the Lights to a dramatic 75-72 win over the Bulldogs Saturday inside the Armory Gymnasium. And to at least one more home game. "I am...
If there is one thing you can say about the North Star Knights, it's that when it comes to postseason basketball, they are a tough team to eliminate - just ask Hays-Lodge Pole. Saturday night, at the HHS gymnasium, both North Star and HLP were fighting for their postseason lives as they battled each other for the third-place trophy at the 9C boys basketball tournament and the spot at the Northern C Divisional that goes along with it. Last season, the Thunderbirds lost to Fort...
When it comes to the District 9C girls basketball tournament, the Turner Tornadoes have a flair for the dramatic and against North Star last Friday in the consolation game, they proved it once again. Last season, the Tornadoes ended a lengthy drought of not getting to divisionals by completing a double-digit comeback over Chester-Joplin-Inverness and in another do-or-die game, the Tornadoes rallied from nine points down, thanks in large part of a pair of 3-pointers by Rylee...
After taking the hard route to the Class B state boys basketball tournament, the Rocky Boy Stars are now just one win away from playing for a state championship. Rocky Boy, the second seed from the Northern B, took on Southern B champion Three Forks at Dahlberg Arena in Missoula Thursday and used an early 14-0 run to take control of the game. The Stars eventually knocked off Three Forks 67-56 to earn a place in the semifinals tonight against undefeated Bigfork, which beat...
After playing four games at home, the Havre Ice Hawks got a couple of weeks off before returning to the Havre Ice Dome this past weekend against Billings. The Ice Hawks were supposed to play two games on the road against Miles City, but ended up winning both by forfeit. That gave Havre another week off before playing the Billings Bulls, who played the Ice Hawks Friday and Saturday, winning both games in a dominating fashion, 13-0 Friday and 12-0 Saturday. The games against...
One down, two to go for the Havre High girls basketball team. Coming into Billings as a heavy favorite to claim the Eastern A girls divisional championship, the Blue Ponies wasted little time in getting the tourney started on the right foot, as they pounded Miles City 65-45 Wednesday night at Rimrock Auto Arena. The win not only pushed the Blue Ponies to 19-0 on the season, but, also into the semifinals, where they'll take on either Laurel or Lewistown Friday night. "I'm glad...
The Rocky Boy Morning Stars were once a perennial District 9C powerhouse. But nine years ago, Rocky Boy moved up to Class B and into the famed District 1B. That meant, in girls basketball, it was going to be tough sledding for the Morning Stars because they were joining the toughest district in all of Class B basketball. And while it was always an uphill climb, Rocky Boy is finally standing alone atop the 1B. Saturday night in Conrad, the Morning Stars captured their first 1B...
During the District 9C regular season, Fort Benton and Hays-Lodge Pole proved to be evenly matched. But Friday night in the 9C consolation game, the Longhorns ran away from the Thunderbirds and punched their ticket to the Northern C Divisional. After losing to Chinook in the semifinals Thursday, Fort Benton needed to win two games Friday in Havre at the HHS gymnasium. The second win came in the consolation over HLP, by a final score of 68-52. "The boys put in a ton of hard...
The Turner girls basketball team has been building something special the past few seasons and the District 9C consolation game Saturday night at the HHS gymnasium, was the culmination of it. Turner was looking to clinch its first berth at divisionals in 21 years, but it wouldn't come easy as the third-place game in the girls tournament went down to the last second, literally. But after two missed free throws and another missed shot at the buzzer by CJI, the Tornadoes won...

Havre has also been a town divided when it comes to the big game between the Montana State Bobcats and Montana Grizzlies. Look around and you’ll see fans scattered all around Havre and on the Hi-Line, fans who have long stood on both sides of the Divide. In fact, there are even households in our community that are divided when it comes to Cat-Griz. But, this season, even the most diehard fans of both the Cats and Griz seem a little confused. There’s Cat fans picking aga...
