The 2013 season was a successful one for the Havre High School cross country teams. The HHS girls won the Central A Divisional meet and finished fourth in the Class A State cross country meet. The boys team also competed well at state with a 13th-place finish. Now the Ponies will look to build on that success, and with a number of runners returning for the 2014 season there is a chance that this season will be even better. "I think we will do very well," HHS head coach Darci...
Drag me kicking and screaming to the latest electronic devices and I obviously want nothing to do with them. My cellphone — the dumbest one I can find — is smarter than I am, and has functions I’ll never use. Writing on paper, any paper, even a brown bag, with a soft lead pencil gives me satisfaction in the depths of my soul. I like the texture, the drag-scritch of the lead across the surface, the drag tracks the pencil leaves in its wake. Having said that, I confess, the only...

Montana State University President Waded Cruzado visited Montana State University-Northern Wednesday to answer questions from the community and university faculty and staff. Chair of the Montana Board of Regents Paul Tuss of Havre introduced Cruzado. "We've had a rough couple of weeks here at Northern," Tuss said. As Cruzado stepped into the packed open public meeting, she began with some encouraging words about the state of the university. "I think this community has many...
The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team is coming off one of the most challenging nonconference tournaments in school history. And while it's crazy to think that the Skylights' next four matches might even be more difficult that their last four, it just might be true. After playing four nationally-ranked NAIA teams last weekend in Bellevue, Nebraska, the Skylights (3-6) are back on the road this weekend, traveling to Helena for the Carroll College/Montana Tech...
It's back to work for the Havre High boys and girls golf teams. And improvement should be the order of the day as the Blue Ponies take to the East Glacier Lodge Golf Course for the second time in seven days. Friday, HHS will take part in the Browning Invitational at East Glacier. The 18-hole tournament comes just one week after HHS competed at East Glacier in the Browning Golf Tournament. In Browning last week, the Havre boys finished second to arch rival Lewistown, while the...
The Havre High volleyball team is sick of waiting for the season to start. So the doubleheader scheduled for Friday against Central A foes Belgrade and Livingston can’t get here soon enough. The Ponies, who normally open the season earlier, are optimistic about their chances to return to the Class A state tournament in 2014 but are eager to compare themselves against some actual competition. “Don’t get me wrong, it’s been nice to have the extra practice time,” HHS head coac...

We’re two weeks into the 2014 Frontier Conference football season, and for the first time in over a year, the Carroll College Fighting Saints aren’t in first place in the league standings. That’s only because the No. 2-ranked Saints haven’t played a game yet. But they’re about to this weekend, and as far as league games go, and even though it’s only early September, games like the Saints are about to play don’t get any bigger. Carroll will open its season, and defense of it...
