    Updated Sep 1, 2024

    Head coach Bobby Hauck said it best himself. "Enthusiasm is at a record level." The sell-out crowd in Washington-Grizzly Stadium, dressed to match the Blackout theme under the lights, came in still riding the high of the national championship appearance last season.

Despite a 105-yard game from former Havre Blue Pony Mason Dionne, who scored Northern's lone touchdown, the Lights couldn't muster enough offense in the end. Down 10-0 in the second quarter, Dionne ripped off...

    Updated Aug 29, 2024

    I spent 12 years in the Montana Legislature,1995 through 2006. Session after session we fought the same battle over taxes.
