Readers can be excused for being confused when a current member and a for...

Ahead of the Jug Beck Rocky Mountain Classic, Havre High head coach Scott Filius said that it was the best wrestling tournament in the state of Montana. And after his team captured the tournament for the second straight year this past weekend, it's not hard to see why the Blue Ponies are the best the state of Montana has to offer.
