After missing a week of competition due to unexpectedly bad travel conditions, this weekend's Helena Invitational becomes even more important to the Havre High boys and girls swim teams. The Blue Ponies will be in Helena on Saturday for the final regular season meet of the year. After the Helena meet, HHS will have exactly two weeks to prepare for the all-class state swim meet. But Saturday will be the final time Havre swimmers race against live competition. And the Ponies will certainly get good competition in Helena. Both...
The Montana State University-Northern women came into Thursday night's game in Lewiston, Idaho off not one, but two big wins. The Lewis-Clark State Warriors didn't. Instead, LC State was looking to rebound from a nearly 30-point loss to Westminster College last Saturday, and the No. 13 Warriors took it out on the Skylights Thursday night. The Warriors beat Northern 59-43, ending the Skylights two-game Frontier Conference winning streak. Northern was able to hang tough early on, trailing by just a few points for much of the fi...
Getting off to a good start on the road is something the Montana State University-men's basketball team knows is important. But Thursday night in Lewiston, Idaho, the No. 19 Lights didn't do that. Instead, Northern fell behind host Lewis-Clark State right away, and the result was a 70-61 Frontier Conference road loss. David Maddock hit a 3-pointer at the 15:46 mark to put the Lights up 9-6. However, LC's defense kept the Lights scoreless for the next 8:42 of the game while the Warriors went on a 15-0 run. That put LC ahead...
A big run by the Great Falls High Bison kept the Havre High Blue Ponies at bay. Thursday night in Great Falls, the Class AA Bison defeated the Central A Ponies 69-55 in nonconference play. And with the loss, the Ponies dropped to 5-6 overall and remained 4-3 in conference. At the halfway point the Ponies trailed by just one point, trailing 21-20. And that was after overcoming a 14-7 deficit in the first eight minutes. But in the third quarter the Bison gained some separation, coming out of the lockerroom hot. GFH hit some...
Another slow start was the demise for the Havre High girls basketball team. Thursday night at the Havre High gymnasium the Central A Blue Ponies suffered a non-conference loss, falling to the Class AA Great Falls Bison 51-39. With the loss the Ponies remain 2-5 in the conference, but dropped to 3-8 overall. And for the Bison, they are very happy to grab the non-conference win, as they have only two wins on the season improving to 2-9. Both wins came at the hands of HHS, one in Great Falls and now one in Havre. "It's not like...
Every Havre High wrestler deserves some recognition for the Blue Ponies' success, but tonight the seniors will get the limelight. Tonight while hosting Class B/C Conrad and Forsyth, the Pony senior grapplers will be recognized. And for all the accomplishments earned over the last four years, the recognition is well deserved. Duell Stadel, Josh Salapich and Jared Ruttkofsky are the three seniors on this years roster. "Duell (Stadel) has been lights out tough since he got here and last year Jared (Ruttkofsky) and Josh...
Whether it's a Class A, Class C, Class B or a Class AA opponent, it doesn't matter. The purpose of the Havre High wrestling schedule is to get better in time for the postseason. And preparing to host two of the better B-C programs around, the Central A Blue Ponies will do just that. Tonight at 5 p.m. at the HHS gymnasium the Ponies will host the B-C Conrad Cowboys and Forsyth Dogies. "Forsyth is the top B-C team and Conrad is always tough," Havre High head coach Scott Filius said. "And we are going to wrestle both of them at...

And...

Belgrade and Livingston were the first two games of the...
The going has been tough so far for the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team. The Skylights are off to an 0-3 start in conference play and have been bitten by the injury bug to boot. And while Northern is happy to return to the friendly confines of the MSU-Northern Fieldhouse, starting tonight, thing's are about to get even more challenging. The Skylights host No. 25 Carroll College tonight at 6 then turn around and play Rocky Mountain College on Saturday night in Havre. Northern has struggled out of the...
The second half of the season is here, and while the Havre High boys basketball program has gone through some growing pains early, the Blue Ponies are ready to get down to business. HHS recorded a 2-3 conference record and a 3-6 record overall during their first nine games of the season. Now opening the second half of the season, the Ponies will face the two teams they opened the season against.

If there was a ever a time when the Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team needed to hold court at home, this would be it. With the Frontier Conference seemingly wide open right now, the Lights have a golden opportunity in front of them, starting tonight with a huge showdown with No. 16 Carroll College. Northern wraps up its only home stand of the month on Saturday night with a game against Rocky Mountain College. The Lights enter tonight's 8- p.m. tipoff with the Saints at 2-1 in conference play and 13-5...
Two months ago, the Montana State University-Northern wrestling team was a young and inexperienced squad when it beat the Northwest College Trappers in Powell, Wyo. What a difference a couple of months makes. On Thursday night at the MSU-Northern Fieldhouse, the Lights dominated the Trappers 31-3 in front of a large home crowd on what was Northern's final home match of the season. Included in the dual was a rousing senior-night win from 157-pounder Tay Todd. The former Bozeman High star pinned Clint Jacob in 2:21 and was...
With the Class A duals and post season looming just around the corner, the Havre High wrestling team continues to grow stronger. Friday and Saturday the Central A Blue Ponies were in Missoula for the 34th annual Jug Beck Rocky Mountain Classic. And after moving into the No. 7 spot on Friday, the Ponies finished the tournament as the No. 8 team on Saturday with 126.5 points. And though every team present would have liked to grab the No. 1 spot, the Ponies were satisfied with where they finished up. "After you acknowledge you...
After the dust settled on this weekend's Frontier Conference men's basketball games, one thing has become quite clear – the league is wide open. And that's precisely why this weekend's road split was very big for the Montana State University-Northern Lights. Northern captured a hard-fought 67-61 win at Montana Tech on Friday night, before dropping its first league game of the season, a 69-64 loss at UM-Western on Saturday night. The split left MSU-N at 2-1 in conference play, but just a half game behind Lewis-Clark State f...
A win is a win, and teams will take them anyway they can. But next time around the Havre High girls basketball team would probably like to do so with five players on the court. Saturday in Conrad the Ponies were able to get back to the win column. The Central A Blue Ponies defeated the Class B Conrad Cowgirls 49-46. But after a strange series of events, the Ponies played the last 1:30 or so with just four girls on the court. And despite the disadvantage, the Ponies were still able to come from behind and capture the nonconfer...
Heading into Friday night's game, the Havre Blue Pony boys had spent a lot of time preparing for the conference rival Browning Indians. But even with the prep time, the Indians' pressure proved to be too much. Friday at the Havre High gymnasium the Ponies hosted the Indians in Central A action. But in a dominant win, the Indians defeated the Ponies 70-48. The big difference in the conference matchup was the Indians' pressure defense and high-tempo style of play. "It's one of those deals where if you make mistakes anywhere...
Just one night after a tough loss to a conference opponent, the Havre High boys basketball team was able to come away with a win. Saturday at the Havre High gymnasium the Central A Blue Ponies improved to 3-5 overall with a 51-46 win over the Class B Conrad Cowboys. "That was kind of a gut check," Havre High head coach Andy Smith said. "We were disappointed with how we played against Browning, we didn't do a good job whether it was offensively or defensively. But I thought the kids came out and played awfully hard on...
The Havre High Blue Ponies are at the tail end of a three game home stand, and as they say, they may have saved the best for last. Tonight at the Havre High gymnasium the Central A Ponies will host the Class AA Great Falls Bison at 5:30 p.m. And sitting at 3-5 overall and 2-3 in league, the Ponies are embarking on their third home game in four days. "We want to go in and compete," Havre High head coach Andy Smith said. "They (Bison) have an awfully good team and they are athletic. They are going to press us, they are a lot...
It's been a while, but the Great Falls High Bison finally found a way to upsend the Havre Blue Pony wrestling team. The Ponies lost their annual dual with the Bison 42-36 Thursday in Great Falls. Havre got a huge edge right away as Eli Hinebauch, who just went down to 145 pounds, defeated GFH's top-ranked Class AA 145-pounder Dylan Mendenhall by pin at 5:12. And HHS kept rolling early with wins by Grant Pattison and Kameron Pribyl, as well as Jared Ruttokfsky. Duell Stadel and Dillon Seely also grabbed victories for the Blue...
The Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team suffered a heartbreaking defeat at the University of Great Falls last Friday night. And even before that loss, the Skylights were dealing with a host of injury problems, none of which have been resolved. So to say this weekend's road trip to Montana Tech and UM-Western is daunting would be an understatement. The Skylights (9-8, 0-1) visit Tech tonight in Butte, then play at Western Saturday night in Dillon. "It's a very tough trip for us," MSU-N head coach Chris Mo...
Winning on the road is never easy in the Frontier Conference. However, it's also the key to successfully chasing down the Frontier crown, and while the Montana State University-Northern Lights already have a key road win under their belt, the mission is far from complete. Tonight, the Lights (12-4, 1-0) take step two in the process when they visit Montana Tech in Butte. Northern wraps up a weekend swing at UM-Western on Saturday. The Lights got off to a strong start in conference play with a hard-fought win over a...
There is always a strong rodeo tradition on the Hi-Line. But this weekend, plenty of Hi-Line cowboys will make their presence felt even stronger as they compete in the annual Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit Finals. The 32nd annual Montana Pro Rodeo Circuit Finals hits the Four Seasons Arena starting tonight. The three-performance rodeo, which includes 7 p.m. performances tonight and Saturday and a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, features large purses and huge crowds. And Havre and the Hi-Line will be there. The top 12 money-winners from...
If it hadn't been for a slow start offensively and for a few untimely fouls, the Havre High girls basketball team may have come away with a win. Thursday night at the Havre High gymnasium the Browning Indians defeated the Blue Ponies 46-40 in Central A play. The Ponies trailed the Indians the entire first half, as well as for the entire third quarter. And it wasn't until the 6:56 mark in the fourth quarter the Ponies were finally able to game at 30-30 after clawing their way back after trailing by as much 11 throughout. "We...
The Havre High boys basketball team has two home games this weekend. And with the two games leading off five consecutive home games for the Blue Ponies, HHS is entering into a favorable stretch in the schedule. Tonight the Central A Ponies will host the conference rival Browning Indians and Saturday HHS will host the Class B Conrad Cowboys. Tonight the Ponies and Indians will tip off at 7 p.m. and Saturday tip off between the Ponies and Cowboys will be at 5 p.m., both games at the Havre High gymnasium. But the Blue Ponies...
