The win improved Chinook's record on the season to 21-0 and also gave Chinook its 36th consecutive win over 9C opponents, a streak that dates all the way back to the 2017 9C tournament.

    There is something special about the Havre High gymnasium for the Fort Benton Longhorns, especially when they play the Box Elder Bears there. And for the third straight year, as well as the fourth time in five years, the Fort Benton girls played Box Elder for the District 9C championship Friday night in Havre and for the second straight season, Fort Benton handed the Bears their first loss while claiming the district title.

    Chris Peterson|Updated Feb 15, 2019

    It has been two years since the Chinook boys basketball team has lost a District 9C game and if the Sugarbeeters can extend that streak for one more game, they will win their second consecutive 9C championship.

  • Out Our Way: Cowboy up and trust - Isaiah 40:1-9

    Updated Feb 15, 2019

    Out our way, Charlie and others said that when you take to hard riding, it is not a question if you will get hurt, but when. My pard was badly hurt in a wreck when Freckles was spooked by a dog coming suddenly out of the tall grass while he and another rancher were pushing cows in the Bear Paw Mountains.

During a scene while in India where she is struggling with giving up control, her new...
