  • Ponies power past Mustangs in the Corral

    Chris Peterson|Updated Jan 29, 2018

    Heading into its game with Malta, the Havre High boys basketball team had not won a game inside the HHS gymnasium this winter. Thanks to a spectacular shooting night from senior Trey Murphy and some incredibly stingy defense, when the Blue Ponies walked off the floor Saturday, following their 43-33 win, that was no longer the case. "It feels great for the team," Murphy said. "But I think all of us can say, it's for the fans, too. They come out and support us no matter what...

  • Havre district discussing reconfiguring schools

    Paul Dragu|Updated Jan 29, 2018

    For the last year, leaders have been discussing options for reconfiguring the Havre Public School district, as years of declining student population has not ended costly infrastructure needs. "Reality says enrollment is dropping. And right now it does not make a lot of sense to invest that kind of money in one of our buildings," Superintendent Andy Carlson said Thursday. The last time the district started out with more students than in the year before was six years ago, record...

  • Pony girls have no trouble with M-Ettes

    Chris Peterson|Updated Jan 29, 2018

    The Havre High girls basketball team didn't play its best game of the season against the Malta M-Ettes Saturday inside the HHS gymnasium. Yet, the Blue Ponies were great when they had to be and that was all that mattered. Despite coming in with one of the worst overall records in Class B, Malta hung with the Ponies for the good part of four quarters. The M-Ettes were even tied with the top-ranked Ponies at the half, but a 23-4 run by Havre shut the door on Malta's upset hopes...

  • Warriors, Dawgs pull away from Skylights

    George Ferguson|Updated Jan 29, 2018

    The Montana State University-Northern Skylights did everything they could to break their six-game losing streak Friday night in the Armory Gymnasium. Northern played great defense, they battled one of the most talented and tenacious rebounding teams in the country, and they made a plethora of clutch 3-pointers. It still wasn't enough. Friday night in Havre, the Skylights succumbed to a late 3-pointer by Lewis-Clark State's Delaney Henerey, and the No. 23 Warriors walked out...
