The scene was set. Top-seeded Fort Benton and No. 3 Turner fighting it our for a 2020 District 9C girls title in the Havre High Gymnasium Saturday night. In the case of the Longhorns, it was a three-peat as district champs in their sights, while the Tornadoes were playing in a chipper after a drought lasting over a decade and looked to take the win. But, Fort Benton weathered the storm to beat Turner 58-41 and claimed the 9C title for a third year in a row, as well as a...
The semifinals for the 2020 District 9C tournament took place Friday evening in the Havre High Gymnasium, with four teams looking for a spot in the championship game. Even though it wasn't the first semifinal game of the evening, the match between No. 2 North Star and No. 3 Turner was a barnburner. Both teams had gone down to the wire twice before in the regular season, with the Knights pulling away. Now, they were both fighting for a divisional spot, too. But this time...
Top-seeded Fort Benton had fallen in last year's 9C championship to Chinook, but now, the Longhorns were ready to get some revenge on the Sugarbeeters, while No. 2 Chinook was fighting for a three-peat as district champs.

Longhorns head coach Tyler Pasha was ecstatic to see his team come...

I will be wearing Charlie’s hat this week in honor of his induction into the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame, and will also be t...
I once knew a guy who had a bumper sticker on his car that read “Keep Church Weird.” Now, I lived in Berkeley, California, at the time so maybe the only thing about this that caught my attention was “Church” needing to be singled out.

Maybe never more so than when Ash Wednesday and Lent roll around. Because when we enter this penitential and prepara...
