At a press conference last Friday Gianforte said nearly 100,000 vaccines had been administered in the state and a almost 25,000 people have been fully immunized. He said this is good news but the current allocation from the federal government is insufficient, being one of the lowest allocations per capita among the 50 states. He said...

Not only had the Montana State University-Northern Skylights had to endure an entire year without competitive volleyball, they also were sitting on a streak that no one likes to talk about. That's right, Northern, like the rest of the Frontier Conference, missed out on the entire 2020 season due to the pandemic, but, unlike the rest of the Frontier, the Skylights had also gone more than three years without a win, of any kind. But all of those waits, for a new season, for a hom...
The Havre Blue Ponies don't usually get to swim as much as they have this season at home. So, that's been a real bright spot during this season marked by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

"I talked to the swimmers before the meet today and let them know that I had tentatively scored the meet based on the entries and times," HHS head coach Bill...

Havre, which has been on fire offensively of late, wasted little time igniting that fire either. The Ponies started the game on...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights didn't get to play their arch rival in the Armory Gymnasium last week. Such is life during a pandemic.

It was UP's first loss of the season, and fittingly, it came in a...
