There are few things that feel more like summer than attending the fair and this week, people from Havre and the surrounding areas will get that chance with the Great Northern Fair set to open Wednesday. However, the 2019 Great Northern Fair will be about much more than great food and fun events. It will also offer sports fans unique opportunities that go beyond some of the things we normally see. Of course, the rodeo is always going to be part of the festivities and that's...
The Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team had a number of reasons to be motivated to beat Vauxhall last Saturday. But chief among them was the fact that it was senior day for six players who were playing their final games at Legion Field. That proved to be the only motivation that the Northstars needed as they managed a split with first-place Vauxhall, taking the first game of the doubleheader 9-7, before dropping the second 7-5. Despite falling behind 5-0 in the seco...
It was a busy weekend of local baseball as the Havre Northstars American Legion Baseball team wasn't the only team in town, as Havre also played host the 14U State Tournament. The tournament featured three games and was held at Legion Field beginning with pool play Friday.

The Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team went on the road Wednesday and while the club missed a shot at a two-game sweep of rival Lewistown, Havre did what it needed, earning a split and keeping its hopes alive for second place in the Northern A District. Both teams entered Wednesday's doubleheader in Lewistown with identical 11-9 records within the district. A sweep would have put the Northstars only two games behind the Redbirds with just two to go. Thanks to a bri...
While basketball isn't always synonymous with the summertime, there has been plenty of hoops action going on inside the Armory Gymnasium this week and really all summer long as Montana State University-Northern Skylights hosted their annual camp this week. The Skylights hosted their youth camp and had players in grades 4-6 in their gym this week and one of the players in attendance was 10-year-old Bree Hanson, who just happens to be the daughter of former Skylight Jena...
The heart of summer is here and that means that baseball season is hitting the home stretch, not only for American Legion baseball, but also for youth all-star teams that have been traveling across the state for tournament after tournament. This week, however, the Havre 14U All-Stars will be at home, as they are hosting and participating in the 14U state tournament, which will be right here in Havre, with all games being played at Legion Field starting Friday. The teams that...
At times, the schedule has been unpredictable for the Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team during the 2019 season and the weather has played a big role in that uncertainty. Of course, in Montana, that is to be expected, especially during the spring months of the season, simply because of the unpredictable weather during that time of year. However, the Northstars ran into more weather-related issues Tuesday as the team's scheduled doubleheader against Northern A...
After getting swept on the road at Vauxhall last Wednesday, the Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team couldn't afford to let the same thing happen at home Saturday against the Lethbridge Miners. Yet, after losing the first game of the Northern A District doubleheader 3-2 and falling behind 2-0 in the first inning of the second game, a split looked like anything but a sure thing. Thankfully for the Northstars, Tyrel Kjersem found his groove and picked up the victory, h...
At this point in the Legion baseball season, every game is important. But when the Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team hosts Lethbridge Saturday, the No. 2 spot in the Northern A district could be on the line. Starting the week, both the Northstars and the Miners had 10 wins within the district. Yet at 10-6, Havre held a two-game edge in the loss column with Lethbridge at 10-8. Havre was swept at Vauxhall on Wednesday night though, so that will make the...
With eight games remaining in Northern A District schedule, the Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team finds itself sitting in second place in the district standings. Yet, holding that position won't be easy, especially with four of the last eight games against Vauxhall, the Northstars' opponent tonight in Canada. The Spurs lead the district and playing a doubleheader at their place should give the Northstars a good idea of where the team stands heading into the stretc...
The Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team took a trip to Helena last week, in what will be the final non-conference games of the season. Beginning last Thursday, the Northstars played four games in the Helena Tournament, one each day and when it was all said and done, Havre split, posting a 2-2 record with both of their losses coming to the Helena Reps. Havre knocked off Mountain View of Boise, Idaho, 11-10 to open the tournament Thursday and followed that up with a...

Tire Rama scored 12 runs in the first inning of the...

In sports, there are few finishes more exciting than a walk-off home run and Wednesday night, at the Sixth Avenue Memorial Field, that's exactly what the fans in attendance got to see. The Havre Youth Softball Association was hosting the city championship for its B League, which is for players in fifth and sixth grade and the matchup between Henry Construction and Brandon's went down to the wire before it was ultimately decided by a two-run, walk-off, inside-the-park home run...
Due to weather and a change in the schedule, the Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team paid a visit to the Tri-County Cardinals Tuesday instead of earlier in the season. When the Northstars hosted their Northern A rival at Legion Field last month, they swept them and Tuesday, on the road, the result was the same, as Havre won the first game 7-6 and followed it up with a 12-6 victory to win their third in a row. The Northstars are now 18-11 overall and 10-6 in the...
It has been a busy week for softball at the Sixth Avenue Memorial Field, thanks to a pair of Havre Youth Softball Association tournaments being held there this week. Tuesday night, the A League championship was held as Wolfers and Montana Country Boutique met for the city championship. Hi-Line Rental was also in the mix but lost to Wolfers in the semifinals to take third. Wolfers and MCB met in the championship and were eventually forced into a winner-take-all affair for the l...
Championship teams share of a lot of characteristics, but one that is just about universal is being able to win games on the road. And if the Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team is going to make a run at the regular season championship in the Northern A District, winning on the road will be a requirement, especially as the team is in the midst of playing 10 of 12 games on the road. Starting last weekend with road trips to Fort Macleod and Medicine Hat, the...
Winning on the road is never easy and this past weekend, that’s a lesson that the Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team learned once again. With a 6-4 record in the Northern A District heading into play Saturday, the Northstars had a big opportunity with back-to-back doubleheaders against Fort Macleod and then Medicine Hat Sunday. The Northstars split with the two teams during a four-game homestand earlier this month and that’s exactly what happened this weekend. Hav...
Believe it or not, the Havre Northstars American Legion Baseball team is nearly halfway through its Northern A District schedule. However, by the end of this weekend, Havre will have played 14 of the 24 games on its district schedule and with a 6-4 record coming in, the four-game stretch against against Fort Maceod and Medicine Hat will be critical for the stretch run. Of course, the Northstars will come in with a little momentum after splitting at home against Lewistown, one...
The Summer can be a slow time for sports, as school is out, which means it's the offseason for just about every high school athlete. But as anyone who follows high school or even youth athletics knows, the offseason is becoming shorter and shorter and one of the great opportunities the summer can offer is the chance to attend sports-based camps, like the Havre High Volleyball Camp being hosted by HHS head coach Tamecia Jarvis and the Blue Ponies this week at the HHS...
The Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team spent last weekend playing baseball in Lewistown, only they didn't take on the Redbirds, the team from Lewistown. That's because Havre was in Lewistown for a non-district tournament in which the Northstars finished fourth. Tonight, Havre and Lewistown will be in the same town again and this time, they will go head-to-head as the two teams will meet in an important Northern A doubleheader tonight at Legion Field. The first...
The Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team came into the Harold Gjerde Tournament having won six of their last seven games and starting last Thursday, the Northstars continued their run in Lewistown despite an early slip-up. Havre won two of its first three games of the tournament, falling to Livingston 7-4, before rebounding to defeat Tri-County 15-1 and Miles City 7-4. Back-to-back wins had the Northstars in title contention, but a loss to Gallatin Valley 15-1 in the...
The Havre Youth Baseball Association continues to hold its city tournaments and this past weekend, the Majors division finished up its season and held its championship game Sunday at Lions Field.

The two teams played a...
The Havre Northstars American Legion baseball team has another busy week ahead of it, but before taking part in the Harold Gjerde Tournament in Lewistown this weekend, the Northstars went north of the border for a Northern A district doubleheader Tuesday.
