It's the smallest senior class I can ever remember playing football for the Havre Blue Ponies, in numbers that is. But make no mistake, the three Blue Ponies who were honored in what could be their final home of their careers have been gin this fall. Havre High's Thurman Holdsclaw, Zach Plum and Chet Shrauger have a lot of talent underneath them, but the trio of HHS seniors have had a huge impact on the Ponies' season — a season in which HHS is in playoff contention yet a...
The Havre High volleyball team knows it has the talent to turn in a great season this year.

Saturday the Central A Blue Ponies will be in Lewistown. The Ponies will face two nonconference opponents in Hardin and Laurel. The Ponies didn't get off to the best start this season, but they have shown they can be a top contender if they play well. Unforced errors and mistakes hurt them...

A handful of Class B and Class C schools will also be in...
It's early in the 2012 Frontier Conference football season, and it's not time to hit the panic button quite yet. But make no mistake, the Montana State University-Northern Lights need a win. And if the Lights are going to get their first win of the season, they'll have to do it on a second consecutive out-of-state Montana State University-Northern's Kyle Johnston (ball) looks for running room during last month's Frontier Conference game against Carroll in Havre. The Lights...
Looking at what Havre High's Thomas Gruber has done this season, you wouldn't know that he had just one varsity start prior to this season. Gruber, a junior, has adjusted very well to the varsity lineup in just three games this season. He is a starting wide receiver on the offensive side of the ball, and is a starting corner on the defensive side of the ball. And while it sometimes takes players several weeks to really make a splash when new to the varsity lineup, Gruber has seemingly made the transition with no major...

MADISON, Wis. — A Wisconsin judge on Friday struck down nearly all of the state law championed by Gov. Scott Walker that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for most public workers. Walker's administration immediately vowed to appeal, while unions, which have vigorously fought the law, declared victory. But what the ruling meant for existing public contracts was murky: Unions claimed the ruling meant they could negotiate again, but Walker could seek to keep the law in effect while the legal drama plays out. The l...
