January is almost over. There isn't much time for teams to jockey for postseason basketball position.

On the girls side, the top four teams remain from Class AA, while the highest-ranked Class A team is the Sidney Eagles, who moved up to No. 5.

The Montana State University-Northern men's and women's basketball teams had about as good a weekend as a program can have. Last Friday and Saturday in Havre, the Lights and Skylights combined for a four-game sweep of rivals Carroll College and Rocky Mountain College. But life in the Frontier Conference is never as easy as it seems, and tonight in Lewiston Idaho, both MSU-N teams will have to put last weekend behind them as they face a pair of NAIA powers at Lewis-Clark State. The Northern men jumped all the way to No. 19 in...
Coming out of another outstanding weekend of action, the Havre High wrestling team won't waste any time to once again return to the mat.

The Rustlers are normally one of the top names no matter what...
The Montana State University-Northern wrestling team is having a good end to the month of January. On Saturday night in Clarkston, Wash., the Lights went unbeaten in matches against Simon Fraser University, and won the dual 33-6.

The Belgrade Panthers are a tough team, but when they are executing their pressure defense the way they did on Friday, they are almost unstoppable. Friday night at the Havre High gymnasium, the Havre Hihg girls played host to the Panthers in Central A play. But it was the Panthers who recorded the 55-28 win in front of Havre fans. The Panther defense played the biggest role in their win and Ponies loss. HHS struggled to get the offense going. The Ponies were held to six first quarter points, but managed nine in the second...

The Havre High boys basketball team was hoping its narrow loss to Great Falls on Monday was the turning point in the season. And after one of their better games of the year, the Blue Ponies still believe that to be true. Friday at the Havre High gymnasium, the Central A Ponies defeated the Belgrade Panthers 57-51 in conference play. Overall, the Ponies played very well on both sides of the ball. But the inability to knock down fourth-quarter free throws, and a Panther offense that got hot late made the game closer than it...
For whatever reason, the Montana State University-Northern Lights just seem to have Carroll College's number in Havre. Following Friday night's 73-54 beat down of the Saints in Havre, the Lights have now topped Carroll six straight times at home. It's a rivalry that has seen both dramatic finishes and blowout victories, as Northern won a stretch of home games against the Saints by four points or less from 200-2009. The last two years, the Lights have sent the Saints packing early. But regardless of the final score, one thing...
One win looked easy. But getting a home Frontier Conference sweep was anything but for the Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team. Just one night after the Lights demolished nationally-ranked Carroll College, the Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears' made life very difficult for Northern. Still, MSU-N found a way to gut out a 55-52 win over the Bears and take full of advantage of their only home stand in January. But Saturday night's win at the MSU-Northern Fieldhouse didn't come without some tense moment,...
If one dramatic win wasn't enough, the MSU-Northern women's basketball team decided to make it a perfect two-for-two at home.

The win gave the Skylights back-to-back Frontier Conference victories and a 2-3 record in league play. Northern's win on Friday night came by way of a total team effort, as well as outside input from Samm Schermele and the...
It's never easy to bounce back from a difficult and emotional loss. And it's even more difficult when you're playing arguably the hottest team in the NAIA in an emotional rivalry game. But that's exactly what the Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team did on Friday night. In front of a packed and rowdy MSU-Northern Fieldhouse, the Lights blew away the No. 16 Carroll College Fighting Saints, 73-54 in a pivotal Frontier Conference showdown. Northern turned what was a first-half slug fest, into a route in the...
The fun thing about basketball polls is to see what happens when teams are ranked. It's also fun to see where teams go after a big win, or after tough losses. And one thing's for certain, no matter where squads are ranked, in basketball, everything gets settled on the floor. It's week two of the Havre Daily News boys and girls Super 15 Polls, and the top teams haven't changed. Bozeman sits atop the boys poll for a second straight week, while Billings West tops the girls poll. New to the boys poll this week is Class AA...

Todd is currently in his third and final season with the Lights. He is a three ye...

The Montana State University-Northern wrestling team had its hands full at the 1011 NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals on Saturday in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Northern went into the dual tournament unseeded, and for the second straight year, the Lights suffered a two-and-out performance.

GREAT FALLS — Just three weeks ago, the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team thumped the UGF Argos by 16 points in a nonconference game in Havre. However, it didn't take long for the Argos to return the favor. On Friday night at the McLaughlin Center in Great Falls, the Argos pounced on the short-handed Skylights, who were without senior Taylor Keller and reserve forward Stren Tramelli, 85-73, handing MSU-N a difficult Frontier Conference opening loss. And while Northern looked so solid against the A...
It was a rough two games for the Central A Blue Pony girls this weekend. Playing two very tough conference opponents, the Ponies were looking forward to using the weekend as a measuring stick. But being blown out in back-to-back games, the Ponies now know they have some work to do before the postseason. On Friday the Ponies were on the road where the Lewistown Golden Eagles defeated HHS 53-36. And on Saturday the Ponies hosted Butte Central, but the Maroons handed the Ponies a 64-38 loss at the Havre High gymnasium. Saturday...
GREAT FALLS — The Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team always gets up for playing the Great Falls Argos, and vice versa. Add to the fact that it's always a homecoming game for Northern junior Shaun Tatarka, the Frontier Conference showdown makes for a special treat. And on Friday night in Great Falls, Tatarka and the Lights didn't disappoint, kicking off the 2011 Frontier Conference season with a 75-67 win over the Argos at the McLaughlin Center, sparked by Tatarka's game-high 26 points. The Lights s...
If the Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team was looking for a challenging start to Frontier Conference play, the Lights are going to get it tonight in Great Falls. Northern (11-4) and rival Great Falls (7-8) open league play tonight at 8 at the McLaughlin Center, and while the Lights come to the Electric City red-hot, the Argos are playing some of their best basketball in years, and that makes tonight's rivalry game very intriguing. "This may be the best Great Falls team we've seen," MSU-N head coach Shawn...
Sunday wasn't the ending to the NFL's regular season the Tennessee Titans were hoping for. But a 23-20 loss to the Indianapolis Colts didn't top Titans rookie and former Havre Blue Pony Marc Mariani from making a little more history. Mariani ripped off a 47-yard kickoff return on his second return of the day, and in the process of that return broke Derrick Mason's franchise record, set in 2000, of 1,794 combined punt and kickoff return yards in a single season. It was the second return record Mariani set in as many weeks. At...
The Havre High boys and girls basketball teams weren't slated to return from the holiday break until Friday. But a season-opening snow storm back on Dec. 10 meant the Ponies would have a game earlier in 2011 than originally planned. And Havre's return to the hardwood didn't go the way either Blue Pony team was hoping Monday night in Malta. The Havre High girls fell to the defending Class B state champion Malta M-Ettes Monday night, 62-48, while the Pony boys suffered a heartbreaking 51-47 loss to the Mustangs. The boys game...
