The Havre High wrestling team sure does know how to put a stamp on an All-Class State wrestling tournament. But one thing the Blue Ponies, under head coach Scott Filius, don’t seem to know, is how to slow down.

Those numbers are staggering considering how good arch-rival S...

Rocky Mountain College takes a one-game lead into the final weekend of the season, but the Battlin’ Bears finish with a difficult road trip to Havre and Great Falls. And it’s those...
It’s tournament. And when it comes to the Chester/J-I girls and the District 10C tournament, that usually spells doom for the rest of the conference. The Hawks are the four-time defending 10C champions in what will be their last 10C tournament, which runs Wednesday-Saturday in Conrad. C/J-I (16-2) will move to the 9C next season, but before the Hawks go, they have their sights set on one more 10C championship. C/J-I went unbeaten in conference play yet again and haven’t los...
