The Montana State University-Northern Skylights, for all intents and purposes, have had a spot in the NAIA national tournament locked up for a while now. But these Skylights aren’t a team that rests on its laurels. No, they want to win a Frontier Conference championship. And they weren’t about to let that dream be derailed by their biggest rival. Friday night, in front of a boisterous Armory Gymnasium crowd, the No. 10 Skylights took down the No. 24 University of Great Fal...
Janna Hoehn is a woman with a cause. She wants to get the picture of every fallen U.S. veteran from the Vietnam War for "Faces Not Forgotten," a Washington, D.C., project associated with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. To that end, she is calling newspapers throughout the West from her home in Maui, Hawaii, to see if they will help spread the word.

Chippewa Cree Business Committee member Dustin Whitford said that in his life he has heard two myths repeated time and again. The first myth, he said, is that at Easter time a bunny comes around and gives treats to young people, he told the Montana House’s Human Services Committee at a marathon meeting in Helena Friday night. “The second myth is that Indians get free health care,” he said. Whitford’s comments were a light spot in a tense meeting about Gov. Steve Bullock's proposal to expand Medicaid to include 70,000 people w...
Gov. Steve Bullock's proposal to expand Medicaid would have eventually cost the state $250 million a year, and "this is not manageable," said Rep. Stephanie Hess, R-Havre. Hess sits on the House Human Services Committee, which sat through an eight-and-a-half hour session Friday night listening to testimony for and against — mostly for — Bullock's plan. Hess said that in the first year of the plan, the state would have to chip in $34 million, "which seems manageable," she said. But the $250 million figure "is not man...

The Havre Ice Hawks high school hockey team got its 2015 Montana state high school hockey tournament off to a great start. But then the Ice Hawks ran into a Bozeman team they simply didn't have an answer for. Havre opened the state tournament, which was held this past weekend in Missoula, with a 7-2 victory over Glasgow in pool play. But the Ice Hawks then dropped to straight games to the Bozeman #1 team, and the second loss eliminated them from the tournament. In the win...
Even though the real march madness is still a couple of weeks away, it got underway early in boys high school basketball this past weekend as the Rocky Boy Northern Stars in particular had a pair of memorable days at the Northern B divisional. The Stars needed to finish among the top two teams at the tournament held in Shelby over the weekend to advance to the state tournament and while Rocky Boy has not locked up a bid yet, it is still alive for one. That is thanks to...
The Montana State University-Northern men’s basketball team has been to the last four NAIA national tournaments. It’s been quite the run. But to have a chance at a fifth straight trip to Kansas City, the Lights needed some shots to fall, and those shots never came. Northern, which is one of the top 3-point shooting teams in the country, made just 6-of-32 3-pointers in a 65-51 loss to No. 22 Lewis-Clark State in the Frontier Conference semifinals Saturday night in Lew...
HAMILTON — The Havre High girls basketball team was within reach of winning back-to-back state championships. But against both Hamilton and Columbia Falls, Havre struggled to score, and in the end that was what put a stop to the Blue Ponies memorable two-year run. Friday night in Hamilton, the Ponies met the host Broncs in the semifinals of the Class A state tournament in a rematch of last season’s state championship game. That game was won by Havre, but this time Ham...
The sport of wrestling can be brutal sometimes. It can be cruel. It’s a fact every wrestler knows going in. And when you compete at the highest level of wrestling, in tournaments like the NAIA national championships, sometimes that cruelty rears its ugly head. And for much of the 2015 national tournament this past weekend in Topeka, Kansas, that’s the side of the sport the Montana State University-Northern Lights experienced. Despite taking just six wrestlers into the nat...
This season, the Montana State University-Northern Skylights have played in six games against fellow nationally ranked NAIA opponents. And that’s just since the start of January. So playing in big-time games is nothing to Northern. However, tonight in Salt Lake City, the Skylights (27-4) won’t just be playing another nationally ranked power, they’ll be playing in the biggest of all Frontier Conference games. Tonight at 7, the No. 10 Skylights will take on the No. 4 Westm...
