Hi-Line athletes of the week

After a rough, season-opening loss to Chester/J-I, Chinook and do-it-all player Zach Molyneaux got back on track. Last Saturday, the Beeters throttled Great Falls Central 56-38 in Great Falls behind six touchdowns from Molyneaux. Playing quarterback, Molyneaux, a senior, rumbled for a career-high 302 yards, and scored on TD runs of 49, 60, 64-59 and 20 yards. He also threw one TD pass and returned a kickoff 79 yards for another score as Chinook improved to 1-1 on the season. Molyneaux is also a track and basketball standout.

It's only one race, but Havre High junior cross country runner Morgan Mazurkiewicz is off to a strong start. The Blue Pony cross country teams made their season debut last Friday at the Cut Bank Time Trials, and Mazurkiewicz turned in a stellar Top 20 finish. She finished the race, which was run in rainy and windy conditions, in a time of 21:25, which was good enough for 16th place overall. The Cut Bank meet featured nearly 200 girls in the field, and had Class AA competition. Mazurkiewicz is also a standout in basketball and softball at HHS.
