In a letter to the Fort Belknap Indian Community Council Tuesday, the Blaine County Commissioners said they are “very interested” in establishing alternate election administrative offices on the reservation, though they would not be open for as many hours as the council had requested.

There is just something about when Belgrade and Havre get together in boys basketball; the two teams have a habit of playing great games. And the Central A rivals played another Saturday in Belgrade.

Even though the weekend turned out to be a dud for the Ponies, who are now 8-4...

The Ponies, who were in Lewistown to compete in the annual Class A Duals, once again showed, that at least right now, they are heads and shoulders above every other team in Class A wrestling. During the two-day tournament, the Ponies...
Winning in the Armory Gymnasium is something the Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team is used to do doing over the years. But, Frontier Conference teams have made that difficult on the Lights as of late. And Northern's home struggles continued over the weekend with two losses inside the Armory, including against the Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears, who came into Havre and stole a 77-73 overtime win over the Lights. Friday night's game was a rematch of...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights have three very exciting home duals coming up, three highly-anticipated duals which will wrap up the 2015-16 regular season. But, before the second-ranked Lights could come home to the Armory Gymnasium, they had a little business to take care of in Dickinson, North Dakota, and that’s exactly what they did this past weekend. On Friday, the Lights defeated No. 16 Dickinson State in a dual on the Blue Hawk’s home mat, and Sat...
Over the past two seasons, the Havre High girls basketball team has dominated the Central A conference, and this past weekend, the Blue Ponies continued that trend.

And when the dust settled, the Ponies came away unscathed, defeating the Rangers Friday 55-38, followed by a 46-28 trouncing of Belgrade...
After two brutal weeks of close games and home splits, the Montana State University-Northern women’s basketball team knew the third weekend of a six-game home stand wasn’t going to be easy.

And the No. 14 Skylights did just that by sweeping Rocky Mountain College and UM-Western over the weekend inside the Armory Gymnasium. On Friday nig...
