The start to Frontier Conference play didn't go exactly how the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team planned. A close loss to Carroll College back in November coupled with a roller coaster of a win over Dickinson State on Thursday night was not exactly how the Skylights wanted to be playing at this point in the season. But on Friday night, Northern turned it all around. The Skylights put together an impressive all-around performance, beating Rocky...
Each and every year, the annual Class A Invite marks the turning point in the Havre High swim team's season. The meet rotates back and forth between Havre and Hardin, and Saturday, the Blue Ponies welcomed in the defending Class A state champion Billings Central Rams and the Hardin Bulldogs for the 2013 Class A Invite. The meet is important because it's the one chance for all three Class A team's to go head-to-head in the water, and it's a chance for the Blue Ponies to see...
The Havre High wrestling team has found little resistance at the annual Cut Bank Booster Club Invitational in recent years, and in 2013, that trend continued. Friday and Saturday, the No. 2-ranked Class A Blue Ponies attended the Cut Bank Invite in Cut Bank, and ran away with the team title. The Central A Ponies scored 247.5 points to earn the No. 1 finish, and was barely challenged by No. 2 Choteau with 217.5. The conference rival Lewistown Golden Eagles finished in a distant third with 159 points, as the Ponies cruised thro...

As the high school wrestling season re-starts, it's look more and more like the Harlem Wildcats are going to be a Class B-C contender. The Wildcats finished an outstanding fourth at this weekend's Cut Bank Invite, scoring 129 points, which left them second among B-C teams. Chinook also had a strong showing, finishing in seventh place with 98 points, while Big Sandy scored 33 points and Chester/J-I earned 18.

Nikki Tresch is a pure shooter. It's what she does and what she's really good at. And coming into this week's Frontier Conference home stand, Tresch was averaging over 16 points per game, and was one of the top 3-point shooters in the Frontier conference. However, in a close, 59-56 win over the Dickinson State Blue Hawks on Thursday night in Havre, Tresch was bottled up by the DSU defense, as she was held to seven points and no three's. Of course, as a senior leader Tresch...
The Havre High girls basketball team was hungry to get back out on the court after a two-week break. And after earning two dominant wins out of the gate, the Blue Ponies quickly settled into a groove as they remain in midseason form.

It's no secret that every night in the Frontier Conference is a challenge. Every game is a true test. And the Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team had already met two of those challenges head on. But on Friday night, in front of a big crowd at the Armory Gymnasium, the Lights passed their first big test of the conference season with flying colors. The 22nd-ranked Lights blew by powerful Rocky Mountain College Friday night, 71-59, improving to a perfect 3-0...

Editor: The clock is ticking on an "endangered species" listing of the greater sage-grouse. If U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decides to list the bird in 2015, it will mean huge changes to Montana and the western states where the grouse has historically lived. Ranchers may have their federal grazing land leases curtailed. Oil and gas development may be stalled. Other road and energy development may be stopped in certain areas. The USFWS's Conservation Objectives: Final Report itemizes what threats to the sage-grouse remain....

Commencement ceremonies are always touching events as grads prepare to end one phase of their life and begin another. Thus was the case Saturday when graduates took part in ceremonies at Montana State University-Northern. Speaker Paul Tuss took an unusual turn Saturday when he shunned some of the traditional advice given to grads and thanked the students for enlivening life in Havre. That was very appropriate. Hopefully not just the graduates, but the rest of us will listen to what Tuss said. Student athletes have given us a...

Critics say the measure is unconstitutional because i...
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama supports requiring girls younger than 17 to see a doctor before buying the morning-after pill. But fighting that battle in court comes with its own set of risks. A federal judge in New York on Friday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to lift age restrictions on the sale of emergency contraception, ending the requirement that buyers show proof they're 17 or older if they want to buy it without a prescription. The ruling accused the Obama administration in no uncertain terms of l...
