  • Pick your Poison

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 3, 2014

    At the start of the 2014 Frontier Conference season, there was little doubt that Montana State University-Northern sophomore running back Zach McKinley had a target on his back. After the freshman season he had in 2013, McKinley was returning as one of the top running backs in the NAIA. And while McKinley has lived up to every bit of that billing, as he leads the NAIA in rushing yards so far in 2014, Northern's passing game too has exploded. Heading into spring ball, and then...

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 3, 2014

The No. 7 Grizzlies (3-2, 1-0) head out to face the University of North Dakota for A third straight time in Grand Forks, North Dakota, while...

  • Nationals play two against Yellowstone

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 3, 2014

    The Glacier Nationals are four games into their first season of hockey in Havre. And the Nationals don't have a win yet.

  • Rivals: Skylights host Argos Saturday

    George Ferguson|Updated Oct 3, 2014

    The rivalry between the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team and the University of Great Falls Argos is a special one. It's special for a number of reasons, but a big one is the proximity of the two schools, and the recruiting ground both teams battle on for players. But it's also an intense rivalry because both teams have had their fair share of success in the Frontier Conference, and it's usually at the expense of the other. Recently, Northern has been the domin...

  • Ponies give GFH a tough match

    Chris Peterson|Updated Oct 3, 2014

    For two games, the Havre High volleyball team was better than Great Falls High. Despite the fact that the Blue Ponies were huge underdogs, they were inspired on homecoming night and even though they came up short in the end, they proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they can compete against anyone. Inside of a packed house at the HHS gymnasium Thursday night, the Ponies gave the Great Falls Bison all they could handle before ultimately falling short to their Class AA rival...

  • Lessons on the road to the pickup of my dreams

    Pam Burke|Updated Oct 3, 2014

    How does one really come to know oneself, in a deep and meaningful way … asks the shallowest person in the newspaper industry: me. The answer is that to truly come to know oneself, one must go shopping … says the intellectual-surface-dweller who hates shopping more than dental work, cleaning house and canned spinach — all combined. This newfound wisdom comes from recent forays into the world of pickup truck shopping. Yes, know thy shopping needs, know thyself. The shopping sta...
