The Havre Blue Pony golf teams may play in the winds of Havre a lot, but that didn't make the conditions at last Friday's Eastern A Divisional Tournament any easier. In 40 mph winds, and on a tough Lake Hills Golf Club layout, the Pony golf teams had an up and down divisional, where the HHS girls placed sixth and the Pony boys finished seventh overall. Havre did advance two girls and two boys through to state, as only the top eight individuals advance after the top four teams...

Forced to move things up for the second week in a row due to weather, the Havre High tennis teams had a long road trip to Glendive.
