  • Don't see your results? Covering the Hi-Line requires your help

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 11, 2018

    The Hi-Line football and volleyball roundups you see on today’s sports page are one of the things in my 18-year Havre Daily News career I’m most proud of. No, I don't mean these two stories in particular, I mean the fact that, for the last 18 years, they’ve been there, every Tuesday. And, I’m writing this column to tell all of you who care about local sports in our communities all over the Hi-Line, I don’t want to see them go away. But I have to admit, I’m getting a little co...

  • Letter to the Editor - Federal agencies ensuring pollution

    Updated Sep 11, 2018

    Dear editor, It has come to my attention that Ryan Zinke, Andrew Wheeler, and their federal agencies are helping ensure that the oil and gas industry can continue to carelessly leak millions of tons of methane pollution and chemicals into our air. We had protections around methane that limited this type of pollution. Created in 2016, the methane protections limited the flaring and venting of natural gas to cases of emergencies or when capturing flared gas was technically infeasible. Montanans demand that Washington put politi...

  • Hi-Line Volleyball Roundup: Box Elder off to a strong 6c East start

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 11, 2018

    The third week of high school volleyball on the Hi-Line also marked the start of conference play in both Class C and Class B really heating up. But last week started with a non-conference thriller between old rivals in Chinook and Malta. Ultimately, the Sugarbeeters fell to the M-Ettes last Tuesday, by scores of 25-18, 25-19, 21-25 and 25-18, but the Beeters hung tough. And they bounced back for a big District 6C East win Thursday night. Playing North Star, Chinook swept the...

    There was no shortage of big high school football games this past weekend across the Hi-Line, but the biggest by far took place in Big Sandy Friday as the Pioneers played host to the defending Six-Man state champions. And for a good chunk of the game, the fourth-ranked Pioneers went toe-to-toe with MonDak, the top-ranked team in Class C Six-Man football. However, a 24-point fourth quarter led the Thunder to a 57-28 win over Big Sandy. Early on, though, the Pioneers showed no...

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 11, 2018

    It's always a big deal when Carroll College comes to play a Frontier Conference football game, at any stadium around the conference. But it's an even bigger deal when it's that teams homecoming, and on an anniversary, too. That's the case Saturday when the Fighting Saints come to Blue Pony Stadium for a homecoming showdown with the Montana State University-Northern Lights. And while MSU-N has hosted Carroll several times on homecoming, and during other special occasions, and w...
