  • DYNASTY CONTINUES: Havre girls beat Rams in 2OT for state title

    Kason Clark and George Ferguson|Updated Mar 6, 2021

    GREAT FALLS - There's just something about the Four Seasons Arena in Great Falls. Or maybe it's just the Havre High girls are that good. Either way, on Saturday night in Great Falls, the Blue Ponies captured their third state title in four years, and their fourth since 2014, all in Great Falls, as they beat Billings Central 64-61 in double overtime thriller. "I'm just so happy for our kids. They work their tail off, they grind it out and they grinded out another one tonight,"...

    George Ferguson|Updated Mar 6, 2021

    In his four years at MSU-Northern senior Isaac Bartel had done just about everything he could have done in wrestling - except win a national championship. On Saturday night in Wichita, Kansas, he added the one missing piece to a brilliant career. Bartel defeated Lindsey Wilson's Trevor Lawson 6-0 in the 197-pound championship Saturday to not only win a national title for the Lights, of head coach Tyson Thivierge, but, to cement himself as a rare, four-time All-American....

  • Blue Ponies dive in at state

    Kason Clark|Updated Mar 5, 2021

    The Havre High swim team has had to endure a strange season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of their meets this season have been virtual, which meant the Blue Ponies would have to swim in one pool and their opponents in another and the schools would compare times to determine the results. As Havre's season comes to an end, the Blue Ponies will get the chance to compete against other competition live as they travel to Polson to compete in the state swim meet Saturday....

  • Northern spikers face more road challenges in Dillon

    George Ferguson|Updated Mar 5, 2021

    When you play a lot of road matches in the first half of a season, then it's going to be the other way around in the second half. And that's what the Montana State University-Northern Skylights are about to see. Northern starts the second half of the Frontier Conference spring volleyball season with a pair of matches at Montana Western this weekend. But from there, the Skylights will play six of their final eight matches in the Armory Gymnasium. This weekend's matches in...

  • Out Our Way: Spring is no myth - 1 Corinthians 15:12-19

    Updated Mar 5, 2021

    Out our way, winter is not something many look forward to. Alberta Clippers come sweeping out of the North - nothing between us and the North Pole but a barbed wire fence. The days are short - the sun rises late and sets early. And besides the snow and ice we have the cold. Minus 40 degrees is not unheard of, and with the wind chill it's even colder than that. But out our way, some folks who have been around a bit remind us, "Winter is just the price we have to pay for our glo...

  • Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

    Updated Mar 5, 2021

    You know, Lord, March is a glorious month, actually, it's one of the most beautiful times of the year. This year it arrived as a lamb. Thank You, Lord. All we need do is look out our windows and see snow drifts melting away. Not only that, there is a smell of spring in the air. Several friends discovered their crocuses and hyacinths are just about ready to bloom! In Montana? That is about to happen with daffodils and tulips also. Spring is arriving in all its glory of color an...

  • Grief Poem - On Other Side of the Bed

    Updated Mar 5, 2021

    "I'm free 'they/he' said, "Don't grieve too long, 'cause I have been set free. "I'll follow in the path God set, the one laid out for me." Good friends, good times, but - loved one left; our time with them, too brief. Tasks left undone, they'll stay that way, right now we deal with grief. Remembering back so long ago, our future lay ahead. Our loved one was comfort and love, on other side of bed. But now he's gone, we had great years, God paved our way, God led. Still in the...
