  • Round Two is the Same: Griz men, Bobcat women win the Brawl

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 25, 2019

    It wasn’t easy, but the Montana Grizzlies earned yet another season sweep over rival Montana State Saturday night, leading from start to finish in front of a sold-out Dahlberg Arena crowd. The 89-83 victory over the Bobcats gets the Grizzlies to 20 wins on the season and one step closer to another Big Sky Conference regular-season title. Junior Sayeed Pridgett lobbed an alley-oop pass to Michael Oguine just 15 seconds into the contest, and the Grizzlies never looked back, b...

  • Third time is a charm for Skylights

    George Ferguson and Chris Peterson|Updated Feb 25, 2019

    In two games against the nationally ranked Lewis-Clark State Warriors this season, the Montana State University-Northern Skylights had LCSC all but beat. Only, they didn't, as LCSC stormed back to beat Northern last month in Havre, and again in Lewiston, Idaho. Friday night in the Armory Gymnasium, Northern found itself in the same situation for the third time. The Skylights led 17th-ranked LCSC by as many as 18 points, but could only watch as the Warriors stormed back to cut...

  • Senior Night Delivery

    George Ferguson and Chris Peterson|Updated Feb 25, 2019

    Heading into Saturday night's game against Montana Western, the Montana State University-Northern Lights didn't know if they would have another home game or not. However, on a night when the Lights were honoring seniors Caulin Bakalarski and Justin Dunsmore, it was fitting that those two players, more than any others, were responsible for leading the Lights to a dramatic 75-72 win over the Bulldogs Saturday inside the Armory Gymnasium. And to at least one more home game. "I am...

  • Streaking Sidney knocks HHS boys out of the Eastern A

    Chris Peterson|Updated Feb 25, 2019

    Despite losing to Billings Central in the quarterfinals of the Eastern A Divisional, the Havre High boys basketball team just needed to beat Sidney to keep going. Unfortunately for the Blue Ponies, the Sidney team that won one game during the regular season was vastly different than the one Havre faced in the Rimrock Auto Arena at the Metra last Friday, and thanks to an outstanding effort from big man Bridger Larson, who poured in 23 points, the Eagles upended the Ponies with...

  • A Sugarbeeter First

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 25, 2019

    GREAT FALLS — In 2017, the Chinook boys basketball team went to the Northern C Divisional tournament, a young team with plenty of talent but little experience. In 2018, the Sugarbeeters had much higher hopes at the Northern C but were left heartbroken after a fourth-place finish. Saturday night, however, a veteran Chinook team had no intentions of leaving the Four Seasons Arena a third time without the Northern C championship trophy. Instead, the undefeated Beeters ran r...

But after their third loss in four years in the title game, the Bears will have to settle for yet another berth at the Class C state tournament. Following a dramatic come-from-behind win over Turner Thursday night to reach the girls championship game, Box Elder didn't have quite the same energy Friday night inside the Four Season Arena during the Northern C...

  • Feisty Rams upset Pony girls in Eastern A title game

    Chris Peterson|Updated Feb 25, 2019

    Back in December, Billings Central and Havre played a classic game that had many thinking the Blue Ponies and Rams might meet for the state championship in March. Saturday night in Billings in the Eastern A championship game, the two teams played another classic, which will undoubtedly fuel talk of another rematch in two weeks, the only difference, is that this time, Havre will be the team looking for revenge after its 44-game winning streak was snapped by the Rams, who...
