    Paul Dragu|Updated May 27, 2016

For the last three days, a series of articles have focused on a company, Sunrise Financial Group LLC, that buys properties all around Montana through tax liens. The company owns many properties in Hill County and holds even more liens. Sunrise's Havre properties are abandoned and run down, causing additional blight in a town short on...

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 28, 2016

The win gives HHS a top seed at next week's Class A state tourney in Missoula, and was Havre's first divisional title in...

  • Lights roll, Tech stuns Skylights

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 28, 2016

    For one Montana State University-Northern basketball team, senior night in the Armory Gymnasium was a dream. For the other, it was a nightmare. On Saturday night, the Lights and Skylights closed out the regular season against Montana Tech, with the Northern men cruising to a 78-64 win, while the No. 16 Skylights were upset by the Orediggers, 80-67. The loss to Tech was devestating for MSU-N (11-7, 22-7), because the Skylights fell from second alone, to a tie for third in the F...

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 28, 2016

    The Box Elder Bears never forgot about last year's heartache at the Northern C tournament in Great Falls. And on Friday night, inside a sold-out Four Seasons Arena, they were finally able to do something about it. Box Elder toppled Belt 63-53 in the Northern C boys championship game, in what was an intense, and highly-anticipated matchup. The Bears (23-1) made eight first-half triples, and 9 of 19 for the game. Box Elder's defensive pressure rose to another level after...

    George Ferguson|Updated Feb 27, 2016

    Nights like the one the Montana State University-Northern men's and women's basketball teams had Friday night in the Armory Gymnasium are special. First, the No. 16 Skylights knocked off the first-place, and 12th-ranked Lewis-Clark State Warriors, 65-56 in a huge Frontier Conference showdown. Then, the Lights took down the 6th-ranked Warriors 82-72 in front of a raucous Armory Gymnasium crowd. The Lights' win was their third straight, and their second in a row over a...
