  • T-Birds soar to third

    George Ferguson and Chris Peterson|Updated Feb 18, 2019

    If there is one thing you can say about the North Star Knights, it's that when it comes to postseason basketball, they are a tough team to eliminate - just ask Hays-Lodge Pole. Saturday night, at the HHS gymnasium, both North Star and HLP were fighting for their postseason lives as they battled each other for the third-place trophy at the 9C boys basketball tournament and the spot at the Northern C Divisional that goes along with it. Last season, the Thunderbirds lost to Fort...

    George Ferguson and Chris Peterson|Updated Feb 18, 2019

    When it comes to the District 9C girls basketball tournament, the Turner Tornadoes have a flair for the dramatic and against North Star last Friday in the consolation game, they proved it once again. Last season, the Tornadoes ended a lengthy drought of not getting to divisionals by completing a double-digit comeback over Chester-Joplin-Inverness and in another do-or-die game, the Tornadoes rallied from nine points down, thanks in large part of a pair of 3-pointers by Rylee...

    Chris Peterson|Updated Feb 18, 2019

    When it comes to Fort Benton and Box Elder, the games are always exciting, but for the second straight season, it was the Longhorns who left the Havre High gymnasium with the District 9C championship trophy. And unlike last year, when Aspen Giese hit a buzzer-beater in overtime to win, there wasn't nearly as much drama, as Fort Benton led wire-to-wire in what was a 56-48 victory Friday night in the 9C girls championship game. The title was the third in five years for the...

  • Back-to-Back Beeters

    Chris Peterson|Updated Feb 18, 2019

    It has been two years since the Chinook Sugarbeeters lost a game in the District 9C and after a championship game against Fort Benton that was more coronation than competition, it's clear the Beeters are now kings of the 9C. Chinook's 60-48 win over Fort Benton in the District 9C championship game Saturday night inside the HHS gymnasium capped another remarkable run for the Beeters, who went undefeated in the 9C for the second straight season. In fact, the win over Fort...
