A year ago, both the Fort Benton Longhorns and Turner Tornadoes were young teams building for the future. That future was on display in the opening round of the District 9C boys basketball tournament Wednesday afternoon in Havre, as the Longhorns and Tornadoes waged a great battle. In the end, Fort Benton prevailed with a 70-63 win, in what was one of the best games of the day by far in the HHS gymnasium. Fort Benton's victory pushed the Longhorns into tonight's semifinal...

Darrold Hutchinson, an aviator who farms north of Hingham, filed Feb. 9 to run for the seat, the 2018 candidate filing list on the Secretary of State's website says.

This weekend is nothing new to the Montana State University-Northern wrestling team. It's the weekend the Lights have trained for all year. For each Northern wrestler, it the weekend in which they get their chance to punch their tickets to the NAIA national tournament. However, there's a lot new about how the Lights - and the rest of the teams in what used to be the NAIA's West Region - will go about doing that, including the name of the event. This past offseason, the NAIA...
Perhaps more than any team in the District 9C Tournament, the North Star Knights have a lot on the line this week in Havre. And maybe no players have more on the line than the Millers, Dane, Devon and Dylan, who are bound and determined to get the Knights to the Northern C Divisional Tournament. North Star last made it out of districts and into divisionals back during the 2006-07 season, but last season, it came within one game of making it happen. The nights made it to the...
Editor, Curtis Monteau, the statements you made in regard to the water not being out for more then 24 hours is a lie and I can prove that by the first phone call two weeks ago after it was out for five days and again to 911 the second time it was out for four days. That water is muddy water also, making your last statement appear as dumb as the other statements mentioned so far. I am not going to sit back and allow lies to be spread when I can prove what you’re saying are lies. Also the picture sent to the EPA and n...
Ai-yi-yi, what a week this has been. A few days ago, tongue in cheek, I mentioned to my friend Dan in Fort Worth that I would be returning to my “quiet and uneventful life.” Dan thought I was serious and took me to task and rightly so. After three weeks with my friends Don and Denise from Oregon, plus another week on the coast, seeing old friends from the years Mazatlan was my home, I am back home, in Etzatlan, in my casita. Jerry and Lola from Idaho, who were here with my...

In the last few seasons, there were few rivalries in Class C boys basketball as intense as Hays-Lodge Pole and Box Elder. The two schools met in a divisional championship game and twice in the District 9C championship all within the last three seasons. However, when the two teams met again Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the 9C boys tournament inside the HHS gymnasium in Havre, the normally competitive rivalry was no contest, as the Thunderbirds rolled to an easy 67-36...
The Chinook Sugarbeeters are considered heavy favorites to win the 2018 District 9C championship. Having a roster full of experienced and tall talents and going 17-1 in the regular season will do that. On the other hand, the Big Sandy Pioneers are the opposite. They're young, don't have a ton of 9C tourney experience, and they aren't exactly gifted with the size Chinook has either. And so that's how things played out in the first game of the 9C boys tournament Wednesday aftern...
During the past few seasons, the North Star Knights have gotten closer and closer to their goal of reaching the Northern C Divisional Tournament and Wednesday, on the opening night of the District 9C boys basketball tournament, the Knights got themselves one win away from getting there. After a 15-3 regular season and an 11-3 mark in 9C play, the Knights took on Chester-Joplin-Inverness in the quarterfinals of the 9C Tournament Thursday inside the HHS gymnasium and had their w...
