The other day, I had an unusual conversation with a gentleman, and the nature of that conversation stuck with me. I was driving on U.S. Highway 2 when I stopped for a man who asked for a ride to Rod’s Drive In. Once he had gotten into my vehicle, I asked him if he would need to be picked up after he was finished eating. He simply replied, “No, I’ll walk.” I then asked, “Are you sure, sir? It’s cold out; it’s really no trouble.” “I like to walk,” the gentleman said. “Gives time to think, lets the mind wander. Meditating.” I lo...

Revenge might not have been the motivating factor ahead of the Montana State University-Northern Skylight's Sunday matinee in the Armory Gymnasium. But that emotion didn't hurt either. In front of a big afternoon crowd in Havre Sunday, the Skylights avenged a November loss to the Dickinson State Blue Hawks, and they did it in style, blowing out DSU 71-47 in the first game of the two-day Duck Inn Corporation Classic. The win was Northern's second straight, pushing their record...
The Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team was no doubt looking forward to their two games in the Duck Inn Corporation Classic. After all, the Lights were coming off two very tough road games in the Frontier Conference. So, Northern was hoping the Armory Gymnasium would be just what it needed to get going again. But Sunday afternoon in the Armory, the Dickinson State Blue Hawks had other ideas. In what MSU-N head coach Shawn Huse called a concerning trend of...

During his one season at North Star coaching alongside the late Griff Bye, Walynn Burgess learned a lot about basketball. He also learned a little something about Hawaiian shirts.

The matchup of Havre, the defending Class A state champions, and Billings Central, the reigning regular-season champs of the Eastern A, pitted two of the best teams in the state against each other and the quality of basketball is exactly what...
Each new swim season has to start somewhere, and in some way. And for the Havre Blue Pony swim teams, there's no better way to start the season then in the friendly confines of their own pool. That's exactly what the Blue Ponies did as they played host to the CMR Rustlers and Great Falls High Bison in the season-opening Havre Invitational at the Havre Community Pool.
