The new season is now upon us, with all the leagues in full swing and scores are respectable considering the long layoff over the summer months. Over the summer, the Havre Men's, Women's, and Youth USBC associations voted to merge. They are now one association with an association manager to do all the paper work and to be the “go to guy.” That lucky person who took on the challenge is Shawn Mariani, who I am sure will do an excellent job. A USBC representative from Billings was present during the merger and helped with the...
