Having a healthy and full lineup makes a big difference in prep wrestling, and having both of those things back in their favor, the Havre High grapplers were back to looking as impressive as any team in the state. A week ago at the Bozeman Invitational, the Central A Blue Ponies finished in eighth place as a team. Due to some sickness and injury, the team was less than 100 percent. But coming away with yet another championship team finish over the weekend, the Ponies are back...

Once again, the Montana State University-Northern women’s basketball team played defense at a tremendously high level. But, for the first time in Frontier Conference play, it was to no avail. The No. 4 Westminster Griffins made just enough shots, and played a great defensive game themselves, in handing the No. 18 Skylights their first conference loss of the season. The Griffins upended the Skylights 60-46 Saturday night at the Armory Gymnasium, dropping Northern to 4-1 in l...

And while fans have been waiting to see just what the team is capable of, wins over Conrad and...
Certainly, the Havre High boys basketball team felt a win over the Conrad Cowboys Friday night was of the utmost importance, especially coming off a tough sweep at home last weekend.

Havre started what would become a weekend sweep, beating the Class B Cowboys 51-39 Friday night at the HHS gymnasium. The Ponies would go on to knock off Central A rival...
