Not only under pressure, but against some of the best wrestlers in the region. Without a full lineup, including 2017 state champion Quinn Reno, the Ponies still managed to place eight wrestlers in what is considered the toughest prep tournament in Montana each year....

By Emily Mayer Editor’s note: Due to email issues, the Havre Daily News did not receive this column Friday. Emily Mayer provided it so the paper can run it in today’s edition. The most titillating news story 100 years ago, as reported in the Jan. 12, 1918 issue of The Havre Plaindealer, was that of a local doctor, his brother and three others who were held for grand jury in Helena over a murder occurring in Blaine County. Dr. C. E. Foss of Havre, his brother Edward Foss and Jake Bjorstead, both of Chinook, and two men by the...

Many of us breathed a collected sigh of relief after the dust settled in Whitefish at the end of Dr. Matin Luther King Jr. Day last year. It’s been a year of intense upheaval, including the murder of a civil rights activist at a White Nationalist march in Charlottesville, North Carolina. That scene could have been in Montana’s beautiful mountain town, but it wasn’t, and there are lessons that we must carry forward. In some ways, last year’s national White Nationalist uprising began with a threatened armed march by Nazis o...
I would like to take this opportunity to commend the team at Custom Collision Repair for using their own time repairing two vehicles throughout the year which are then given away on Festival Days weekend to a family that is truly in need of a vehicle but, due to circumstances, cannot afford one. Custom Collision Repair does not fund this project, it comes out of the pockets of his employees and sponsors. This is the beginning of a new year, and I know this is the time when all organizations are geared up asking for donations...

The Havre High boys and girls swim teams are in the midst of their toughest part of the 2017-18 schedule. But the schedule also gives the Blue Ponies a chance to compete against the best in the state, and that’s what they got Saturday. Havre was in Great Falls at the Swarthout Pool Saturday for the Stacy Frey Memorial Invitational, a meet which included powerful Class AA squads like Bozeman, CMR and Butte High, as well as one of HHS’ Class A rivals, Hardin. In all, eight tea...
Through the first nine games of the season, the Havre High girls basketball team has rarely been challenged. Havre had played some ranked teams in Class B, but none in Class A, which made last Friday's contest in Browning, so highly anticipated. The Indians came in as the No. 4 team in the Class A and for the most part, they were able to hang with the third-ranked Blue Ponies, who won the game 57-50. Making the win even more impressive was the fact that the Ponies did most of...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights are kicking into high gear in preparation for the upcoming NAIA wrestling postseason. And this weekend in Dickinson, North Dakota, the Lights did plenty of kicking. Friday night, the No. 10 Lights trounced the Dickinson State Blue Hawks 30-14 in an NAIA dual, and they followed that up with a dominant showing in the Tyler Plummer Classic Saturday afternoon — a tournament also hosted by the Blue Hawks. In the tourney, which i...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights went into one of their longest road trips of the season tied for first place in the Frontier Conference standings. But the Lights ran into two NAIA national powerhouses this weekend and dropped a pair of tough, hard-fought games. One of those games came Saturday night when the Lights came up two points short against the No. 16 UM-Western Bulldogs at Straugh Gymnasium in Dillon. The two bitter rivals fought right to the end, but the...
The Havre High boys basketball team was hoping to get its first home win of the season last Friday night against Browning, but unfortunately for the Blue Ponies, the Indians had other ideas. The Ponies were competitive for much of the night, but Browning still controlled things most of the way, maintaining a double-digit lead for most of the game on its way to a 65-41 win inside the HHS gymnasium. Havre is now 2-8 on the season and 0-3 in the Central A conference. "Overall, I...
