There are many lenses to witness the magic of Christmas, but the most powerful ones focus on the Christ child. Jesus entered the world as a helpless infant, born into a soon-to-be-refugee family, who would live in the shadow of danger his entire life.

Of course, Jesus had an extraordinary mother, always nearby and ready to protect him … but there are children in Hill County who aren’t so lucky. Abused and...

In just its second week of the season, girls high school basketball along the Hi-Line took a back seat to the first big winter blast of the year.

Sunday, and while that finish might seem modest, consider the Lights were in a field that included more than 20 NCAA Division I teams, including top-ranked and T.O.C. champion Oklahoma...

It started with Rocky Boy and Conrad calling things off Thursday night and continued Friday, when Box Elder and Chester-Joplin-Inverness postponed their games, along...
