But in the second meeting of the season, it was more of the same as both MSU-N teams took care of UGF Friday night at the McLaughlin Center. The MSU-N women jumped out to a big lead early, then held off the Argos in the second half for a 74-59 win. MSU-N had four players reach double...
The Havre High wrestling team has already cemented itself as a bona fide dynasty when it comes to Class A state championships.

But as the Ponies prepare to go after a fourth straight state championship when the Class A state wrestling tournament begins Friday morning in Billings, making history won't be as easy this time around. The Ponies...

The Montana State University- Northern Lights had a chance to make plenty of headway in the Frontier Conference standings this weekend on their home floor. Instead, the No. 10 Westminster Griffins got in the way of a home sweep by turning back the No. 21 Lights on Saturday night at the MSU-Northern Fieldhouse, allowing MSU-N only a weekend split in Havre. MSU-N did beat Lewis-Clark State on Friday night 68-58 behind tenacious defense and timely 3-point shooting. But all-in-all, Saturday's loss to Westminster left the Lights (...

The Montana State University- Northern women's basketball team was surging.

Rebounding seems like such a simple thing in basketball. But it's not a little thing, and what Havre High junior forward Paighton Gilman did on Monday night was no small feat either — nor was that of her Blue Pony team. With under 30 seconds left in the game, and her team trailing by one point, Gilman grabbed perhaps the biggest offensive rebound in recent Blue Pony history, then put it back in for two points. The board and score was the game-winning basket in Havre High's 38-37 Central A challenge game triumph over h...

Endurance. It's a big asset in hockey, and the Havre Ice Hawks high school hockey team proved they had plenty. After playing a game in Great Falls on Saturday morning, the Ice Hawks traveled back to Havre and took on the Billings Bulls in a makeup game Saturday night at the Havre Ice Dome. And while the Bulls had blanked Havre in two games in Billings earlier this month, Ice Hawk's senior Kyle Miller made sure the story had a different ending on Saturday night. Miller racked up six points against the Bulls, including a hat...
