But, it wasn’t long before the Bears put together a few of their patented runs and crushed the Titans 87-47 Wednesday inside the Four Seasons Arena at...

Dani Wagner always dreamed of being a Blue Pony. She always dreamed of being a star athlete and excelling for Havre High, and after a lifetime of hard work and dedication, it’s safe to say she has achieved what she wanted. But, the fact that Wagner is a star athlete for the Ponies isn’t necessarily what makes her unique — the fact that she has done it in three different sports is what puts her among the top female athletes in the history of Havre High.
