For the third year in a row, Whitefish proved to be too much for the Havre High football team to handle.

The win allows the Bulldogs to retain the BNSF Trophy for the third consecutive season after defeating the Ponies in each of the two previous seasons. "I think conditioning was a key thing for us. I felt like we had a little...

For 15 years, the Havre Blue Ponies and Whitefish Bulldogs have been playing each other at the start of the football season.

The Montana State University-Northern football team raced onto the field at Montana Tech’s Alumni Coliseum Saturday night full of energy and emotion.
