    Updated Jan 27, 2016

  • Frontier Notebook: Frontier season at halfway mark

    George Ferguson|Updated Jan 27, 2016

    The Frontier Conference basketball season has reached the halfway point, and to say nothing is settled yet would be a vast understatement. On the men’s side, Lewis-Clark State has won 10 straight games and sports a 7-1 Frontier Conference record. Included in that was a huge win over Carroll College Saturday night in Lewiston, Idaho, but, the Warriors still only lead the Saints by a half of a game in the Frontier standings, and they have just a two game lead on UM-Western. T...

    Chris Peterson|Updated Jan 27, 2016

    George Ferguson|Updated Jan 27, 2016

    Sometimes, I forget what I did last week. Sometimes I forget what I had for dinner two nights ago. I guess that’s just the nature of getting older and, pretty much being busy with sports 24/7. But ask me about the Havre High basketball season of 1990-91 and it’s an entirely different matter. There is very little I don’t remember about that magical year. As the Havre Blue Ponies try to win the Ole Goat back from Great Falls High tonight — for the first time since that amazing...

  • Skylights drop one spot

    George Ferguson|Updated Jan 27, 2016

    The Montana State University-Northern Skylights earned an important home sweep of Rocky Mountain College and UM-Western last weekend at home.
