The Montana State University-Northern Lights were just three days removed from one of their worst shooting nights in a long, long time. But three days was plenty for the Lights to put the past well behind them. On Saturday night, the Lights snapped a three-game Frontier Conference losing streak with a resounding 75-55 win over Montana Tech inside the Armory Gymnasium. Northern shot 49 percent from the floor as opposed to just 29 percent last Wednesday night in Great Falls in...
A nonprofit foundation established to help people who were impacted by the East Fork Fire plans to start distributing in two months approximately $30,000 in donated money.

The foundation’s predecessor was an account opened by the Hill County commissioners through Independence Bank while the fire still raged last fall. It was one of the many options for people to give, and, typical...

In December 2016, four county central committees and the county commissioners of Liberty, Chouteau, Cascade and Hill counties appointed me to the vacated District 14 Senate seat midway through my predecessor’s four-year term. It was a great honor to be entrusted with this responsibility, and I am thrilled to be announcing that I am running for the seat again after representing you in 2017 and 2018. I have been a life-long resident of Northern Montana, raised on the family homestead in northern Liberty County, educated on t...
Editor, Isn’t it funny how the “best laid plans” fail to materialize sometimes? It was disappointing to miss the annual Chamber luncheon meeting. There were many, many people that I wanted to thank at that meeting and now that list is even longer. Thanks to my daughter, Marisa Robertson for stepping up immediately to do everything she could that morning in preparation for the luncheon and for giving part of my presentation. Thanks to China Bohn and Julea Robbins for jumping in also. Of course, the original thank-you list incl...

BOZEMAN (AP) - The Montana Grizzlies got a little get-back in Bozeman. After the UM football team lost to its heated rival, Montana State back in November, the Grizzly basketball exacted some revenge. Jamar Akoh scored 15 points with Bobby Moorehead adding 10 and 12 rebounds as Montana dominated the second half to blow past Montana State 67-52 Saturday night to remain unbeaten in the Big Sky Conference. The Grizzlies (14-5, 7-0), who lost in Bozeman last year to snap a...
This past weekend was one of the busiest and most competitive weekends on the Havre High swim team’s 2017-18 schedule. And the Blue Ponies took advantage. Havre was in Great Falls Friday for a double-dual against the CMR Rustlers and Great Falls High Bison, before heading to Missoula for Saturday’s prestigious Missoula Invitational. On Friday in Great Falls, the Havre girls were outstanding, as the Ponies beat GFH 134-118 and stayed with CMR, trailing only 166-109. Ind...
The Havre High boys basketball team was hoping to climb back into the Central A conference race with a win or two this past weekend. Unfortunately for the Blue Ponies, that's not exactly what happened. The Ponies traveled to Livingston Friday to open their two-game road trip, but proved to be no match for the Rangers, who routed Havre 56-25. Saturday, Belgrade, like Livingston, completed the season sweep of the Ponies, knocking them off by the score of 67-50. Against...
The Montana State University-Northern Skylights were desperately hoping that a return to the Armory Gymnasium would be exactly what they needed to snap a five-game Frontier Conference losing streak. However, visiting Montana Tech had other ideas. Saturday night inside the Armory Gymnasium, the Orediggers ripped off an 18-2 run in the fourth quarter to break open what was a close game, on their way to a 71-59 victory over the Skylights, who fell to 1-7 in the Frontier. "We...
The Havre High wrestling team was hoping to win the Class A Duals once again this past weekend, but for the second time this season, Sidney got the best of the Blue Ponies in a dual. Kind of. The annual dual tournament featured all 22 Class A teams and was held last Friday and Saturday in Lewistown. Overall, the Ponies finished with a 7-1 record, but after winning their first seven duals, Havre lost to Sidney in the semifinals. The two teams tied 22-22, but the Eagles won on c...
It was tough on the Montana State University-Northern wrestling team, being at less than full strength for the biggest regular season tournament of the year. And yet, the 12th-ranked Lights still did plenty of damage at this weekend’s Missouri Valley Invitational. Even without star junior Brandon Weber in the lineup, and losing standout 174-pounder Chris Nile, the Lights still finished sixth at what many consider the top regular season field in the NAIA. At the Missouri V...
For the first time since November, the Havre Ice Hawks were at home this past weekend, hosting Bozeman inside the Havre Ice Dome last Friday and Saturday.

In the first matchup between the two teams Friday, the Ice...
If the Havre High girls basketball team was going to keep its stranglehold of the Central A intact, it was going to have to win on the road without its leading scorer. And while it wasn't always easy, that's exactly what the Blue Ponies did this past weekend. Without Kyndall Keller, the Havre girls didn't skip a beat. The Blue Ponies downed Livingston 47-36 Friday night and then beat Belgrade on the road, 59-46 Saturday. Havre is now 12-0 on the season and 5-0 in the Central...
