Crowded, screaming student sections, blowing bands, admonishing coaches and cheering parents, a Hi-Line city riddled with school buses bearing the insignias of C class schools from all over the region - it's four days of 9C tournament time in Havre, and it's all-hands-on-deck time for organizers and volunteers. For as long as anyone can remember, the District 9C basketball tournament has been going on, and it's always tipped off in Havre - and nobody can pinpoint a time when...
For almost one half of basketball, Chinook was able to hang with Box Elder in the semifinals of the District 9C girls basketball tournament Thursday night inside the Havre High School gymnasium. The key word being almost. With just minutes before the first half was over, the Sugarbeeters found themselves trailing just 22-20. The crowd was getting fired up and it seemed maybe the Bears were feeling the pressure. Yet Box Elder was just getting started and by the time it...
Great, a Russian spy ship is sitting off our East Coast and we are so far removed from the Cold War era that the internet, our goddess of all information, has us better prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse than a real life Red Dawn. By now you’ve heard from multiple news sources that the Russian spy ship Viktor Leonov has been cruising the Atlantic Coast waters off Delaware, Connecticut and now Virginia since Tuesday. The ship has stayed in international waters about 30 miles off the coast, but this incident has come hot on t...

You know, Lord, winter is still here. Sharon Hinck in “Mornings With Jesus” recounted thoughts regarding Psalm 77:19. She must have looked out my window. After the fresh snowfall the other day, there’s no activity. This morning the world is pretty much blanketed and seems to be at a total standstill. A casual glance reveals only a frozen emptiness. Nothing stirs, not even cars or buses. The world, at this moment, is simply silent. A glance at the snow under the tree in the front yard shows tracks that weave all around the f...
It is hard for me to keep my mouth shut and listen to what others have to say. It seems that I always have more than two cents worth of input — especially on matters of faith. On occasion, I do listen, and I seem to be hearing more and more that it is becoming very difficult to live as a Christian in our United States because our rights are being infringed upon. Perhaps this is so … perhaps? Now, before you just disregard this article, I would ask you to read Leviticus 19:1-2, 17-18 and Matthew 5:38-48. Both of these rea...
Mark 11: 22-26 Out our way, just about everyone has heard about Goliath's terrors of that nasty old culvert along the nature trail in Beaver Creek. Even that mountain lion that popped by one day at the corral didn't bother him as much as that small bit of black plastic tubing crossing the trail. But we manage to get voer tat culvert and conquer it each time because Goliath has learned to Trust, Try and Do. With encouragement, he has managed to accomplish what, in his mind...

Heading into their final road trip of the regular season, the Montana State University-Northern Skylights were in need of several things. They needed to pick up the pace offensively. And, after back-to-back road losses last week, the Skylights, in reality, the Skylights needed to beat arch rival UGF for a third time this season. Northern accomplished both those things in one shot Thursday night as the No. 15 Skylights thumped the Argos 81-63 in Great Falls. The win pushed MSU-...
The Havre High boys basketball team is in desperate need of momentum with the Eastern A Divisional tournament less than a week away and a win over Browning, on senior day, could be just the thing to provide it.

Leeds is referring to the Blue Ponies' final spot in Central A...

The 4-5 game at the District 9C tournament is usually a good one. And for a stretch in the third quarter, the 4-5 matchup between the North Star Knights and the Fort Benton Longhorns was. In between however, the Knights were dominant, in the first and fourth quarters, and that allowed them to upend the Longhorns 50-36 in the opening round of the 9C boys tourney Thursday afternoon inside the HHS gymnasium. North Star's strong start, scoring the first seven points of the game,...
