Havre High girls basketball head coach Dustin Kraske should be more than happy about his team's undefeated conference record and league title. Instead, he was concerned that his team would not be able to have their senior night this week because their scheduled opponent, Browning, dropped out because of COVID-19 issues. The Blue Ponies searched for a replacement in order to still honor their seniors and, thankfully, Fort Benton agreed to play the Ponies tonight at the Havre...
