BILLINGS - For the first time in nearly a decade, the Havre Blue Ponies were not being viewed as one of the big boys of Class A when the 2020 state tournament got underway Friday morning inside First Interstate Bank Arena in Billings.

BILLINGS - No matter what the team scores say, no matter where they finish, no matter who's wrestling, the Havre Blue Ponies are always part of the final's night story in the Metra.
