The regular season is over. It went by so quickly, it's really hard to believe that only two Frontier Conference football teams are left standing. But what a historic season it was in the new-look Frontier. The league crowned co-champions this season, and for the first time since 1999, neither is named Carroll College. Last Saturday, in Ashland, Ore., the Southern Oregon Red Raiders demolished Montana Tech 46-28 to grab a share of the Frontier title. Both teams finished 8-2,...
Tuesday night's road game at the famed Dahlberg in Arena won't count against the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team's overall record this season. But the game against the powerful University of Montana Lady Griz will matter in so many other ways. The Skylights fell to the Lady Griz 75-45 Tuesday night in Missoula, but after the game was over, Northern head coach Chris Mouat found plenty of things he liked in his team's play against one of the Big Sky...
I'm only 37 years old. And though I feel old these days, I guess I'm not too shy to admit I haven't been around for a lot of the Cat-Griz rivalry. After all, the feud has been going on for more than 100 years. I'd like to think I've seen some of the best years of what I consider one of the best kept secrets in college football, which is the rivalry game between Montana and Montana State, but I wouldn't presume to say I've seen it all when it comes to the annual Brawl of the...

Havre Public School may be getting a community resource officer through the city's police department. The officer would patrol the district's schools, with an emphasis on Havre High School, and conducting investigations and breaking up fights. But most important, the officer would interact with students daily. School Superintendent Andy Carlson told the trustees Tuesday night that Havre is the only Class A school in Montana without a full-time resource officer. The officer would work school hours, and would return to regular...
In the first day of Congress after the 2012 election, re-elected Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., saw action on some of his bills. Tuesday the Senate passed Tester's bill to give a cost-of-living increase for veterans benefits and voted 95-2 to debate a wide-ranging bill he drafted on sportsmen's issues, the first bill brought up when the body reconvened. That bill has received opposition from an animal rights group over allowing hunters to retrieve polar bear carcasses from Canada, but Tester said Tuesday the bill would help...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Wednesday he has seen no evidence that national security was threatened by the widening sex scandal that ensnared his former CIA director and top military commander in Afghanistan. Facing questions from reporters, Obama also reaffirmed his belief that the U.S. can't afford to continue tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, a key sticking point in negotiations with Republicans over the impending "fiscal cliff." He said, "The American people understood what they were getting" when t...
HELENA — Montana Senate Republicans decided Wednesday to adopt a harder edge, ousting their current leadership team in elections that marked a desire among some in the party to draw a sharper distinction with Democrats.

Brian Schweitzer. Bullock said he was open to finding common ground, but cautioned the GOP against bringing him p...

When it comes to watching football, as a huge fan of the game, I love the deep pass. I love the vertical bombs and I love the home runs. Nothing against the running game because I love that too. But, I grew up a fan of the Montana Grizzlies, the Air Read days and of Super Dave Dickenson, so passing is what I fell in love with. And man can the Southern Oregon Red Raiders, and sophomore quarterback Austin Dodge throw the football. In Saturday's 65-34 win over the Montana State...
