Everything seemed to be falling into place for the Chinook Sugarbeeters to win their third straight District 9C girls championship. Chinook looked absolutely dominant in the 9C quarterfinals, and had lost to a 9C team just once all year heading into this weekend’s 9C tournament. But things didn’t go as planned in Thursday night’s semifinals, and by Friday night, the Beeters found themselves playing for their Northern C lives — and playing against an arch rival that ultimat...

Because the new District 9C is allowed to send three teams to the Northern C divisionals, the championship game at the 9C tournament was not the only game with a lot on the line Saturday night. Thanks to the third berth at divisionals, when Chinook and Chester/J-I met in the 9C consolation game Saturday inside the HHS gymnasium, the season of each team was on the line. But, in the end, it was the more experienced Sugarbeeters that came out on top 67-59. The Beeters (16-6),... Full story

Two new teams, a new schedule and more exciting games. That was what the 2015 District 9C tournament was about heading into last Wednesday. But even with all the changes, it was really as if nothing had changed — because no matter what, the 9C tournament is special. It’s special to the players, the fans, the schools, and it’s extremely special to Havre. And make no mistake, this past week was indeed a special one at the Havre High gymnasium. First and foremost, the week was p... Full story
The Montana State University-Northern men’s basketball team was on the brink following Thursday night’s loss at UM-Western. The Lights had dipped to two games below .500 and were in danger of not making the Frontier Conference playoffs. And all of that made Saturday night’s road game at Westminster even more of a challenge than the trip to Salt Lake City usually is — and it’s always challenging. But, as the Lights have done so often this season, they rose to the challenge... Full story
Going into Saturday’s NAIA West Regional Qualifier, Montana State University-Northern head coach Tyson Thivierge noted just how tough the region is, and always is. And, after a busy day inside the Armory Gymnasium, Thivierge’s assessment of the tournament was spot on.
