The Beeters hosted the Hawks for the first ti...

If there was a more exciting, more intense or more controversial night of basketball in the Frontier Conference than Saturday night’s games at the Armory Gymnasium, I’d sure like to hear about it. On the opening weekend of Frontier play, nowhere was the action more interesting, more entertaining and more gut-wrenching than in Havre when both the Montana State University-Northern Skylights and Lights took on the Lewis-Clark State Warriors.
