This may only be my second local golf report of 2024, but it's one I've been thinking about for quite some time. And it's with a heavy heart I write this few words. However, I feel beyond compelled to do so. This column is dedicated to Dave Greenwood. We lost Dave this past winter. And for me, Dave's passing stirred many emotions and many memories, as I'm sure it did for many of you. Many of you will remember Dave for his long-standing association with Northern Montana...
It was an impressive road trip for the Havre High track and field teams. Last Thursday, the Blue Ponies nearly swept the Fergus Invitational in Lewistown. The Havre girls won the meet, while the Blue Pony boys came in second. Individually, the Ponies got great performances all the way around. On the girls side, Kaydance Reiter won the 100 and 200 meter-dashes. Reiter ran a 12.77, which was 0.7 seconds off her record-pace that she set back in 2022. After getting a...
The weather refused to cooperate for the Havre High tennis teams this past weekend, but the Blue Ponies still got some tennis in. The Ponies, of head coach Jeff Miller, were slated to host Glendive, East Helena, Conrad and Cut Bank in the two-day Havre Invitational last weekend, but weather wiped out all of Saturday. So instead, the Ponies took on East Helena in a double-dual Friday. In the official varsity dual, the Havre boys beat the Vigilantes 4-3, while East Helena won...
They didn't get to make their home debut Saturday, but the Havre High softball team was still able to keep rolling. Last Thursday, the Ponies traveled to Lewistown for a rivalry game with the Fergus Golden Eagles. And even on the Eagles' turf, they were no match for the Ponies, of head coach Tony Vigliotti, as Havre rolled to a 14-3 Eastern A win. On the mound, Elle Verploegen was spectaculair again, allowing just three runs on seven hits, while striking out five Eagles for...

But first, Havre is set to travel to Lewistown today to battle arch rival Fergus on a conference matchup. Head coach Tony Vigliotti's Blue Ponies...

I know, bad weather is returning to Havre. Even though it's been a year since we moved away, trust me, I look at Havre's weather every single day. So I know, that while April is here, winter isn't letting go just yet. Still, because we've now turned to April, it's time to bring back my local golf report.

Another year of high school girls basketball has come and gone, and it was another exciting year of hoops on the Hi-Line. From the dominant Havre High girls, to Chinook's run to Class B and a resurgent Big Sandy squad, the Hi-Line was well represented when it comes to girls high school basketball. And the 2024 All Hi-Line Girls Team reflects that. This year's team is composed of six repeats, as well as newcomers and players from across all three classes. Amaya Jarvis, Havre A...

There really is nothing like the end of winter in Havre and on the Hi-Line. Sure, it can, and will still snow, and it will still get cold up there from time to time. But anyone who lives, or has lived, in Havre can attest that the return of spring just means more to us then it does to many people across the country. It means more because winter’s, mild or rough, are long and exhausting in Havre, and in most of Montana. And when you finally see that light at the end of the tunn...

By Havre Daily Staff Last tennis season was a tough one for the Havre Blue Ponies, and first-year head coach Jeff Miller. First, there was brutal winter weather that just wouldn't go away, putting the Ponies way behind from the get-go. Then, there was the monumental coaching change at HHS, as Miller took over for his former head coach George Ferguson, who retired from HHS tennis after 20 years at the helm. Needless to say, none of it was easy for Miller. However, as spring...
