The county's family planning clinic provides birth control, annual exams, pregnancy and pap tests, testing for sexually transmitted diseases, n...

  • HHS harriers off and running

    Daniel Horton|Updated Sep 9, 2013

    It was not a typical season debut for the Havre High boys and girls cross country teams, but despite the poor weather that battered prep sports all over the state, the Blue Ponies made it out of the weekend with much-needed competition. It was a windy and rainy day Friday, but the Central A Ponies, as well as the rest of the field at the Cut Bank Time Trials ran through it anyway. Thunder and lightning also made an appearance in Cut Bank, but first-year head coach Darci Heninger was just happy to officially get the 2013 seaso...

    Daniel Horton|Updated Sep 9, 2013

    After a solid season-opening win over Browning a week ago, the Havre High Blue Pony volleyball team was hoping to grab a few more wins over a very busy weekend. But after a couple of Central A losses Friday, and a 1-4 showing in pool play Saturday, the young Ponies still have a lot of work to do moving forward. Friday the Ponies were in Livingston for a conference triangular. The Livingston Rangers defeated the Ponies in three games by scores of 25-17, 25-20, and 25-19, while the Belgrade Panthers defeated the Ponies in...

  • Skylights sweep matches in Great Falls

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 9, 2013

    One weekend is all that stood between the Montana State University-Northern volleyball team and a Frontier Conference opening match against the Carroll College Fighting Saints. But that weekend included two matches against quality NCAA Division II opponents. And though Northern was moved up a level in competition at the UGF/Carroll Tournament Saturday in Great Falls, the Skylights proved to be the dominant team. Saturday at the McLaughlin Center, MSU-N swept the University of...

  • Pony golfers miss out due to weather

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 9, 2013

    Friday was simply a bad weather day in Montana, and it affected more than just the Havre High football game at Blue Pony Stadium. Severe thunderstorms popped all over the state Friday, including in the Glacier National Park area where the Havre High boys and girls golf teams were competing at the Browning Invitational.

  • Saturday had a different feel in Helena

    HELENA — Over the years, the Carroll College Fighting Saints have been a tough nut to crack. Not just for the Montana State University-Northern Lights, but for every team in the Frontier Conference. And following Saturday’s 31-3 loss to the Saints at Nelson Stadium in Helena, the Lights haven’t cracked Carroll’s halo in 16 straight games. And an even bigger streak continued as Northern still hasn’t beaten Carroll in Helena since the school reintroduced football almost 15...

  • Saints run away from Lights

    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 9, 2013

    HELENA — For 15 minutes, the Montana State University-Northern Lights shut out the mighty Carroll College Fighting Saints. For a half, the Lights were locked in a great defensive battle with another great defensive team. But college football games are a full 60 minutes, and the Saints proved a little too much for Northern in the second act of Saturday’s game at Nelson Stadium. Northern led No. 12 Carroll 3-0 at the end of the first quarter of Saturday’s Frontier Conference gam...

  • A bizarre home opener

    Daniel Horton|Updated Sep 9, 2013

    The end of the prep football season is typically when the weather starts to turn ugly. Especially in the state playoffs, teams have to deal with the elements and they play in the wind, they play in the rain, and they play in the snow. But football players and schedules can endure a lot and it takes special circumstances to postpone or cancel a football game completely. A severe lightning storm looming over Blue Pony Stadium in Havre on a Friday night falls under that category of a special circumstance. Friday night in Havre,...

    There was a feeling in the air that the Havre High football team had an opportunity to beat the Miles City Cowboys for the first time in a long time. But Mother Nature had different ideas, and an eventual tie will leave fans wondering what might have been. Friday night at Blue Pony Stadium in Havre, the Central A Ponies hosted the Eastern A Cowboys. Both squads came into the contest 0-1, and now both teams leave the contest 0-1-1. The game was ended after a two-hour delay due...
