  • Looking out my Backdoor: Musings, observations, and outright guesses

    Sondra Ashton|Updated Feb 6, 2020

    I could have said “outright lies” but I have no blessed idea how I am going to fill this page so “guesses” seemed the more appropriate word. Most weeks I know exactly what I want to say. It never comes out the way I think it will, but I have a definite idea to start. “I can’t wait to talk about that.” Or, “I want to tell them this little story.” This has been a strangely blank week. Maybe it is the gray skies, make me feel like I followed my son Ben home to Poulsbo, Washingt...

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 6, 2020

    The Montana State University-Northern Skylights opened their Frontier Conference season with a pair of exciting wins against Rocky Mountain College and Montana Western.

The road doubleheader pits the Lights against the two teams they stand in front of in...
