    George Ferguson|Updated Nov 23, 2015

    CHINOOK - Win or lose, Saturday was going to be a day the Hi-Line could be very proud of. After all, It's not often that two of your area teams are playing for football state championships at the same time. But that's exactly what happened as the Chinook Sugarbeeters captured the 2015 Class C 8-Man state championship with a 44-20 win over Arlee at Hoon Field in Chinook. Meanwhile, three hours away in Stanford, the Box Elder Bears finished what was a tremendous and proud...

They found him with the assistance of a Social Security Administration guard. After that, order was restored to H...

Like Northern, the Queens were undefeated, and a team that went to the NAIA national tournament last...

    George Ferguson|Updated Nov 23, 2015

    CHINOOK - State championships are never easy to get. And opportunities to win them don't come around very often. But in the case of the Chinook Sugarbeeters, they got a second chance at a state championship and they made the most out of it. All season Chinook was on a mission to avenge its loss to Wibaux in the 2014 state championship game, and, after a rocky start, the Beeters made sure they were going to complete that mission as they beat Arlee 44-20 in the Class C 8-Man...

  • Bears achieved much more than just winning

    Chris Peterson|Updated Nov 23, 2015

    STANFORD — The Box Elder Bears may not have won the Class C Six-Man state championship this past weekend, but that doesn’t mean their season was a failure. In fact, far from it. The Bears have been playing football for a long time and never in their history have they had a team like this. At the start of the season, many pundits predicted that Box Elder would end its long playoff drought. And those predictions were right, the Bears made the playoffs, but Box Elder always wan...

    Chris Peterson|Updated Nov 23, 2015

    STANFORD — The Box Elder Bears made the trip to Stanford with the hopes of bringing home the Class C Six-Man state championship. Yet, in the end, it wasn't meant to be. After an 11-1 start to the season and a memorable playoff run that will live on for some time in the history books of Box Elder athletics, the Bears' great run came to an end Saturday at the hands of Denton-Geyser-Stanford (13-0), which defeated Box Elder (11-2) 60-34 to capture the Six-Man state title. "DGS i...

  • George Ferguson Column: These Beeters prove dreams can come true

    George Ferguson|Updated Nov 23, 2015

    CHINOOK — Just like so many boys their age, the members of the 2015 Chinook football team once stood in the grassy endzones of Hoon Field, playing football during Chinook games, and dreaming of the day that they, too, would get to wear the black and orange. And five years ago, those boys, in middle school by then, dreamed really big as they watched the Sugarbeeters capture the 2010 Class C state championship on a frozen, windy day in Chinook. They watched and wondered if o...
