All season long, the Turner girls basketball team has believed it not only could, but should, be in the District 9C semifinals. It's one of many goals Turner had coming into the 2018 9C tournament. Thursday afternoon, only the Hays-Lodge Pole Thunderbirds stood in the way of that happening, and while the T-Birds put up a great fight, Turner accomplished what it came to do on the first day of the 9C girls tourney inside the HHS gymnasium, with a 51-32 victory. "I'm really happy...
For years, more than a decade in fact, the North Star Knights have had to look at an old Northern C Divisional banner from back in the 2006-07 season, the last time the Knights advanced past the district tournament. But after beating Hays-Lodge Pole 53-47 in the District 9C semifinals Thursday inside the HHS gymnasium, the banner will finally be getting an update, as the Knights punched their ticket to the Northern C Divisional next week. "That is a huge weight off our shoulde...

Out our way, solitude is not that hard to find. Even in town, there are places of quiet - and The Bear Paws are just down the road. When Charley and I rode on the Tiger Ridge together we didn't do much talking - and except for the meadowlarks and the wind, there wasn't much noise either. No traffic, no loud music, no machinery. Just silence. It was sort of peaceful. When I pray, I find I prefer silence and solitude. I am too easily distracted and have what a writer called "a...
It is with great sadness that I am writing this letter but also with great love and memories for the First Baptist Church! First Baptist Church was started in 1912 and had many different ministries over the years around Havre, around the state, and even the nation and worldwide through the many different organizations and ministries they supported both financially and physically. After a lot of trying to hold on and stay open, First Baptist Church closed their doors in August 2017. The church had just celebrated their 100th...
I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings. [Luke 16:9] How are you spending, investing, saving, giving, or using the money that God has put you in charge of stewarding? I can become scared when I remember that to whom much is given, much will be required. We are all going to give an account of our stewardship one day. One of the ways to invest for eternity is to use money, possessions, and influence to gain friends for ourselves. I am...
You know, Lord, rifling through an old stack of saved papers; it’s amazing what one might find! It’s Valentine’s Day, how about a “poem” called “ONLY LOVE,” written long ago by Ann Thompson Jester: “Only love will last. An old home place disintegrates when years have robbed it of its laughter, Joy and tears, yet from its memoried ruins, LOVE will rise to live and shine again in someone’s eyes. “The year at spring is beautiful and young; before it’s gone a million songs are sung by silver-throated birds. Inconsequential is th...
Early morning games at the District 9C tournament are tough. But Turner and Big Sandy put on an entertaining show in the first 9C boys loser-out game of the tournament Thursday morning inside the HHS gymnasium. Turner advanced with a 65-63 win over the Pioneers, but not before having to hold off the Pioneers in a thrilling finish. Turner led 18-6 after the first quarter, and held a halftime edge as well. But the Pioneers roared back with 39 points in the final 16 minutes, and...
The Turner Tornadoes are one win away from playing for the District 9C championship - a place the girls program in Turner hasn't been for a long, long time. Another place Turner hasn't been, at least to play basketball games, is the famed Four Seasons Arena in Great Falls - and the Northern C Divisional Tournament. The Tornadoes are one win away from getting there, too. For many years, playing for 9C championships and advancing beyond the Havre High gymnasium just weren't...
The Fort Benton girls basketball team is no stranger to the District 9C Tournament. However, the fact is, some of their players played it in the tournament for the first time Thursday against Chinook and, on the big stage, the young Longhorns passed their first test with flying colors. Chinook kept the 9C first-round game game close in the first quarter, but a 29-5 run in the second quarter by Fort Benton put it out of reach, and by the end of the third quarter, a running...
The Big Sandy Pioneers were not going to upset the unbeaten Box Elder Bears in the first round of the District 9C girls basketball tournament Thursday morning at the HHS gymnasium. But being huge underdogs didn't stop the Pioneers from trying their hardest to pull the upset. In the end, it wasn't enough, as Box Elder rolled to a 66-25 win, continuing their perfect season. But the Bears certainly took notice of how hard, and with how much passion, the Pioneers played with. "No...
It was only one win, but the victory the Montana State University-Northern Skylights picked up Lewis-Clark State last Saturday night was a big one - for so many reasons. Among those reasons is confidence and momentum, two things the Skylights (2-12, 10-15) will need as they begin a three-game home stand this weekend against two nationally ranked Frontier Conference opponents. Northern begins the final three home games of the year tonight when the Skylights take on 10th-ranked...
Last weekend's Frontier Conference road trip was an agonizing one for the Montana State University-Northern Lights, as they lost by two points at UM-Western and three at Lewis-Clark State. In both games, the Lights had leads that slipped away from them late. Now, Northern is hoping its last home stand of the regular season will help relieve some of that agony. MSU-N (6-8, 16-10) starts the final stretch of the season tonight against No. 6 Carroll College tonight, then the...
The Chinook Sugarbeeters dominated the District 9C throughout the regular season and after two days at the 9C boys basketball tournament, that domination has only continued. Although, the Fort Benton Longhorns put up a pretty good fight. But in the end, it wasn't enough to upset the mighty Beeters, who are now 19-1 on the season, after knocking off the Longhorns 59-41 in the 9C semifinals Thursday in Havre inside the HHS gymnasium. Chinook (19-1) will head back to the...
The Chester-Joplin-Inverness Hawks and North Star Knights know each other well. They're separated by just a few miles, and players and coaches see each other often. So it was no surprise that the latest rivalry meeting between the Hawks and Knights would go right down to the wire. Thursday afternoon, in the opening round of the District 9C girls basketball tournament, the Hawks outscored the Knights 16-8 in a spectacular fourth quarter, winning 42-36, and advancing to tonight'...
