As I enter my fourth year post-ALS diagnosis, I can honestly say, I have been blessed by the Havre community, my family and my widespread friends. To hear what you mean to people is a true gift, one I will treasure to my last breath. While in the words of Monty Python, I’m not dead yet, I am sticking close to my beloved home and yard. My voice is gone, and I get nervous in crowds. (I have to be sick: not talking and avoiding people!) I had a good run, though, and have no regrets. But I would be remiss if I didn’t say what hos...
When you’ve gone through something as horrible, and life-altering, and as scary as what Montana State University-Northern sophomore wide receiver Sam Mix has, and did have to go through, something like catching a football might seem trivial. It might seem insignificant compared to the big picture. On the other hand, when you’ve gone through what Sam Mix has, you deserve to have something like catching a football truly mean something in your life. Saturday, in a 31-21 MSU...
On Saturday, inside a sunny and warm Blue Pony Stadium, one head coach, Montana State University-Northern's Aaron Christensen, or Rocky Mountain College's Jason Petrino, was going to get his first career win. In the end, it was Petrino who did just that, as the Battlin' Bears beat the Lights 31-21 to open the 2016 Frontier Conference football season. Make no mistake, Northern battled hard to get their second-year head coach his first win. But in the end, Rocky's ability to...
The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team needed to test itself against NAIA competition. It was time. And the Skylights found out plenty about themselves this past weekend at the Big Sky Challenge in Butte, where they went 1-3 against tough Cascade Conference opponents. “It was a good weekend all-in-all,” MSU-N veteran head coach Bill Huebsch said. “Considering that we’re a relatively new team, playing a lot of young players, it was about what I expected. And for...

However, after a tough day at East Glacier Golf Course, the Ponies will have a break from competition . HHS played its fourth tournament of the season last Thursday, the Browning Invitational, and, in some ways, the Ponies struggled a bit.

If there was any question about what the bread-and-butter of Blue Pony football would be in 2016, Jase Stokes answered it Saturday in Whitefish. It’s him and a devastating ground game. Stokes, an All-State player a season ago, put the Havre High football team on his back, on the road, against the defending Class A state champs, rushing for 281 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Ponies to an impressive 18-6 season-opening win over Whitefish. The win for Havre puts an end t...

With hopes high, and with a big opening-day crowd packed in the Blue Pony Stadium stands, the Montana State University-Northern Lights opened the 2016 Frontier Conference football season with the same feeling they felt when the fourth quarter ended in the last game of 2015. And, against the same team. Saturday afternoon, Northern wasn't able to pull off a fourth-quarter rally, and ultimately, the Lights dropped their season-opener 31-21 to the Rocky Mountain College Battlin'...
