The Glacier Nationals were hoping that the fired-up atmosphere inside the Havre Ice Dome could help them notch a pair of wins over the Billings Bulls. Yet, despite two solidly played games, the Nationals came away winless on the weekend. The Bulls, who were in town for back-to-back games Friday and Saturday nights, got all they could handle from Glacier in each contest. The Bulls posted a come-from-behind win Friday by the score of 4-3 and then edged out the Nationals again...

College football is fun to watch. If you’re a fan of the game, it shouldn’t matter what level of college football you watch, it’s just fun, and it’s exciting. And Saturday’s game between the Montana State University-Northern Lights and Eastern Oregon Mountaineers proved that in spades. It also proved something else — something many of us already knew, but need reminding of from time to time — really good football players somehow find their way to the NAIA, and in particular...
There’s no denying the fact that this season has been a struggle of epic proportions for a young Montana State University-Northern offense. But, even in a 72-30 defeat at the hands of Eastern Oregon, that offense showed some promising signs — and really, for the first time all season. One thing MSU-N had been lacking this season is the presence of the big play. But, Saturday at Blue Pony Stadium, in a crazy second half, the big play came back to life for the Lights. Nor...
If the Montana State University-Northern Skylights were needing a competitive push — they got it in the form of the Mount Royal Cougars. For a half anyway. On Friday night at the Armory Gymnasium, the Cougars, a member of the CIS, the highest division of college basketball in Canada, gave the Skylights all they could handle for 20 minutes. But, in the end, it mattered little as Northern used a monstrous third quarter to cruise to an 82-52 win, its third straight to open the s...

The Havre boys, managed a 12th-place showing and the Pony girls,...

In a road game against a Polson team that could come back and take on Havre in the quarterfinals of the Class A playoffs, the Pirates started hot, but faded quickly as the Ponies cruised to a 48-28 victory.

In the third quarter of Saturday's showdown with the Eastern Oregon Mountaineers, the Montana State University-Northern offense scored more points than they had in a single game all season long.
