The loss eliminated Havre from the Eastern A Divisional and gave them a final record of 6-12...

Editor, I have always perceived the Montana Tech football team as one of integrity. Well, that went out the window with the disgraceful rout of Montana State University-Northern. The goal of wining at all costs and setting school and national records came at the hands of humiliating a football team, coaching staff and community. The humiliation of this football program will live long past the tenure of this coaching staff and players. Your football program, from the athletic director to the coaching staff to the players, owe...

Because I Could Not Stop for Death Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves And Immortality. We slowly drove, he knew no haste, And I had put away My labor, and my leisure too, For his civility. We passed the school where children played, Their lessons scarcely done; We passed the fields of gazing grain, We passed the setting sun. — By Emily Dickinson This article has been long in coming. In fact, too long. It concerns a tradition that we have had in our community for...

A few weeks ago, when the Montana State University-Northern football team lost to Montana Tech, in somewhat embarrassing fashion, it would have been easy for the Lights to throw in the towel. Shortly after the loss that garnered national attention, former head coach Aaron Christensen resigned. But even with everything stacked against them, the Lights didn't quit. They kept fighting and that was evident in Saturday's 38-17 loss to seventh-ranked Southern Oregon Northern got...
MISSOULA (AP) — The last time Makena Simis played quarterback for Montana, he threw for a school-record six touchdowns. That was two years ago. Simis was called on again to take snaps for the Grizzlies Saturday, this time heavier and stronger, and used his size to scrap for yards against Northern Arizona. "It's weird how things come full circle," Simis said. "But I just wanted to embrace it and really just be there to get the ball to the guys who needed to make plays and, w...
