Last week's snowstorm brought local basketball to a screeching halt, but after the short delay in action, a handful of games did get played late in the weekend.

A vicious winter storm which swept through most of Montana, and was particularly brutal on the Hi-Line, wiped out almost all high school girls basketball both Thursday and Friday.

Board Chair Judi Dritshulas said it appears a donation to replace the computer, with which museum manager John Bruington has said he has been having problems, likely will be made in February. She added that Martin Holt donated some time to make sure the files on the computer — records dating back to the 1960s entered into the computer — wer...

Area wrestling teams had a strong showing at the Choteau Classic this past weekend, but one Hi-Line power was absent. The third-ranked Harlem Wildcats opted not to make the trip to Choteau for one of Class B-C's biggest tournaments, due to the hazardous winter storm which swept through the area last weekend. Meanwhile, Chinook finished in 10th place with 72 points, while Big Sandy scored 35 points and Chester/J-I scored 28. Choteau racked up 294.5 points to easily win its own...
Havre cowboy Josh Granell had a great first night at the 2013 Montana PRCA Rodeo Finals. The next two days didn't go as well.

If the 2013 softball season had ended, the Havre High softball team would be done. But fortunately for the Central A Blue Ponies, they get one last shot at making the Class A state softball tournament. The Ponies finished the conference portion of the season with a 3-5 record, but as the No. 4 team. And with only the top three teams making the state tournament, HHS will hopefully utilize the conference's first divisional tournament to turn their luck around, and make the state tournament.

It's bureaucratic slaps...
