The Chinook girls basketball team has a lot of weapons. The Sugarbeeters can certainly put points on the board. But they can play defense, too, and defense helped them win a second straight District 9C girls championship. Chinook dominated the second half of Saturday night’s championship tilt against the North Star Knights on the defensive end and, as a result, the Beeters came away with a 43-32 win and a repeat championship. In fact, Saturday night’s win at the Havre High gym...
We would like to take a few moments to thank the hard-working employees of the city of Havre and Patrick Construction. On Feb. 13, we had a water break in front of our home, within 15 minutes of contacting the city, a crew showed up and worked until long after dark to restore our water. Keep in mind, we live on a cul-de-sac with no street lights. Unfortunately, they couldn't get it fixed that night. They were back at 8 a.m. the next day and worked on the frozen ground, in the cold and wind, without complaint, until they had...

Chinook and North Star will represent 9C in the next round of the girls championships, while Box Elder and Chinook will represent the boys. It was a great weekend for Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation. While Box Elder walked off w...

Behind the Chinook Sugarbeeters, and maybe even the North Star Knights, the rest of the girls 9C field was chasing second place at the district tournament. Both Big Sandy and Box Elder had high hopes of knocking somebody off and moving into one of those top two spots. Unfortunately neither team accomplished that task in 2014 as the Pioneers and Bears found themselves battling it out in the consolation finals Saturday afternoon. Saturday at the Havre High gymnasium, the Pioneer...

Momentum can be a great ally in the game of basketball. But not when your opponent seems to have all of it. And despite winning six of its last seven games, that’s what the Montana State University-Northern men’s basketball team ran into in its chance to grab a share of the Frontier Conference regular season title Friday night in Havre. In front of a sold-out Armory Gymnasium crowd, the No. 10 Rocky Mountain College Battlin’ Bears brought a force of momentum to Havre and h...
After a tough stretch of road games, the Montana State University-Northern women’s basketball team had plenty to play for on the final weekend of the regular season.

The win gave Nor...
It’s been a while, but the Havre High girls basketball team was faced with some doubt about whether or not the Blue Ponies would win the Central A regular season title. But in the final game of the regular season, the Blue Ponies put that doubt to rest, and they did it rather quickly. Saturday night at the Havre Central gymnasium, the Ponies hosted the conference rival Browning Indians. The winner would claim the No. 1 seed, the loser, the No. 2 seed in the upcoming Central A...
It took a full half to make it certain. But in the end, the Box Elder boys basketball team wasn’t going to let its first loss of the season come in the District 9C championship game. Not with a chance to continue an unbeaten season, and not with a repeat 9C title on the line. And while the Chinook Sugarbeeters fought Box Elder valiantly, the deep, talented and powerful Bears rolled to the 9C repeat they were looking for. Saturday night at the Havre High gymnasium, Box Elder d...
