  • Saints Go Marching Out

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 17, 2018

    The Montana State University-Northern Lights were a wounded football team coming into their homecoming game against a surging Carroll College squad. And yet, the Lights showed the type of resolve and toughness that new head coach Andrew Rolin is instilling in his young Northern team. In their homecoming game, the Lights didn't come away with a win, falling to the Fighting Saints 32-14 Saturday at sunny Blue Pony Stadium. But Rolin saw plenty of positives in the defeat.

  • Audience calls park board on meeting procedures

    Tim Leeds|Updated Sep 17, 2018

    A county board and audience members talked about an issue that has arisen several times in county meetings in the last year-and-a-half — public involvement in county meetings. In a nearly two-hour meeting last week, the Hill County Park Board and audience members spent more time talking about how to discuss and vote on matters than it did on actual agenda item discussions and votes. Audience member Blanche Kellam told the board that when she bought a cabin in Beaver Creek Park, she started coming to park board meetings. S...

  • Northern Notebook: Tough Tommy: MSU-N QB fights on

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 17, 2018

    Carroll College has always been, and will always be, a team with a defense that plays with an edge, and a swagger. Under Mike Van Diest, the Fighting Saints have always embodied physicality and toughness on defense. The Montana State University-Northern Lights saw that first-hand Saturday in their 32-14 loss to the Saints inside Blue Pony Stadium. But the Lights also saw something else Saturday - their quarterback is one tough son-of-a-gun himself. Playing quarterback against...

  • George Ferguson Column: If you're a Light, Saturday was a day to be proud

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 17, 2018

    At halftime of the homecoming game between the Montana State University-Northern Lights and Carroll College Fighting Saints, we all got to see something really cool. At midfield, the 1998 Lights, who were the first Northern team to play football in nearly 30 years were honored. Those who still reside in Havre, good friends of mine like Kendall Griggs, J.T. Schubert and Kino Detrick, among others, were there, joined by as many of the former Lights who could make it to Havre...

    Chris Peterson|Updated Sep 17, 2018

    The Havre High football team knew it was going to need a great defensive effort if it was going to upset the fourth-ranked Belgrade Panthers Friday night, and the Blue Ponies got it. Unfortunately, the Ponies couldn't do enough on offense to take advantage and when it was all said and done, Belgrade survived Blue Pony Stadium with a 10-0 win. The Panthers are now 4-0 on the season. Havre, on the other hand, is 1-3 after suffering its third-straight loss. "We played hard and...

  • Pony Extra: Havre inching closer

    Chris Peterson|Updated Sep 17, 2018

    Football coaches don't like to talk about moral victories and that's totally understandable. But the last two weeks, the Havre High football team has to feel good about the fact that it played two of the top four teams, recordswise, in the Eastern A and had a chance to win both games. The first was against Laurel, which ended up being a 49-35 road loss. The second close loss came this last Friday to Belgrade, which is now 4-0 in the Eastern A and still ranked as the...

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 17, 2018

    The Montana State University-Northern Skylights have played plenty of top NAIA teams during the non-conference portion of their 2018 volleyball schedule. But Frontier Conference play brings a whole other level of intensity, and the young Skylights found that out this weekend.
