In a world where men and women suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder from military and law enforcement service and unimaginable tragedies, I seem to have gotten PTSD from my kitchen drain being plugged. I know it sounds ridiculous, but in my defense, that drain pipe was plugged for several months, and if you have never had that experience, then you cannot imagine the psychological damage a tragedy like this can cause. For sure there is a way to explain why the drain...

Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand. They watched him to see whether he would cure him on the Sabbath, so they might accuse him. And he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come forward.” Then he said to them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save life or the kill?” But they were silent. He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out and his hand was restored. T...
Forget the fact that the Montana State University-Northern Lights were coming off a brutal six-game road trip, and a two-game road sweep last weekend. Forget that the Frontier Conference playoffs are right around the corner. No, no matter what scenario was drawn up in front of them, the Lights just needed a win, for themselves. And Thursday night inside the Armory Gymnasium, the Lights did get that win they coveted, as they beat rival UGF 73-65. The win did a lot for the...
Finishing games has been a strong suit of the Montana State University-Northern Skylights this season. But sometimes, the start can be just as important. And in a critical Frontier Conference game against No. 24 UGF Thursday night in the Armory Gymnasium, the Skylights got off to an incredible start, eventually beating the Argos 72-64. With the win, Northern improved to 9-6 in the Frontier, and also pulled into a three-way tie for second in the Frontier standings with UGF,...

The march toward that goal starts with Saturday’s NAIA West Regional Qualifier in Pre...
It was a tale of two different Havre High basketball programs Thursday night. One team earned the top seed in the conference, while the other let it slip away. The Blue Pony girls, who were playing at home, albeit at the Havre Central Gym, were a win away from wrapping up the Central A regular season title. In fact, the Ponies didn’t even need to win, they just needed to lose by six points or less, but in the end, they couldn’t do it, falling short to Browning 58-49. The Ind...
Travel around and watch enough high school athletics and you're bound to run into a lot of neat examples of good sportsmanship. I know I've seen plenty in all my years of covering high school sports. But, for one week each February, all I need to do to see some of the best examples of sportsmanship is head to the Havre High gymnasium and the District 9C boys and girls basketball tournaments. Now, I'm not saying other tournaments, in other parts of the state are any different,...
The Turner girls basketball team has had one of its best regular seasons in school history, including finishing sixth in the District 9C regular season standings. However, in the first round of the District 9C girls tournament, the Tornadoes saw a familiar theme. Turner opened the tournament by drawing third-seeded and defending 9C champion Fort Benton Thursday afternoon, and in the end, the Longhorns shot the lights out and turned away the Tornadoes, 40-22. The win pushed...

In most basketball tournaments, the matchup between the fourth and fifth seeds is usually one of the best. And that was certainly the case in the opening round of the District 9C girls basketball tournament. Thursday afternoon in the Havre High gymnasium, the fourth-seeded Chester/J-I Hawks and fifth-seeded North Star Knights waged another great game in their storied rivalry, and when the dust settled, a spectacular second-half performance lifted the Knights to a 34-28 win...
The Box Elder girls basketball team has been untouchable all season long, and Thursday morning the Bears made sure it stayed that way.

The win not only kept the Bears (19-0) undefeated, but it vaulted them into today’s semifinal, where they’ll face the North Star Knights. And whi...
Through the first two days of the District 9C boys basketball tournament, there had not been many close games, but that all changed in the semifinal game between Hays-Lodge Pole and Chester/J-I. With a berth in the Northern C Divisional and the 9C championship game on the line, the Thunderbirds and Hawks duked it out in a classic battle. Yet, in the end, it was the Hawks that did just enough to upsend the T-Birds 78-67 Thursday night at the HHS gymnasium. “That’s a heck of a t...

The win clinches a fourth-straight berth at...
Thursday morning was about staying alive for a pair of teams at the District 9C boys basketball tournament. And that's exactly what the North Star Knights and Fort Benton Longhorns did. North Star bounced back from Wednesday's narrow loss to Chinook with a dominating 97-12 win over Big Sandy Thursday morning in the Havre High gymnasium. The Knights ran out to a 29-3 lead in the first quarter, and used a suffocating defense to limit the winless Pioneers to just 17 percent...
