    George Ferguson|Updated Sep 12, 2019

    Editor’s note: This version inserts attribution that was inadvertently left out to 406 MT Sports on quotes used in the story.

  • Second Street, Third Avenue intersection partially blocked for repairs

    Derek Hann|Updated Aug 28, 2019

    A part of the intersection of Second Street and Third Avenue has been blocked off due to street repair, Havre Public Works Director Dave Peterson said. He said the intersection was the location where Havre would put up its annual Christmas Tree. But because the city no longer displays a tree at that location - the annual Christmas tree lighting is now done in Havre's Town Square - the spot where the tree had been put up each year had been patched with asphalt. The asphalt has...

  • The PostScript: Not popular

    Carrie Classon|Updated Aug 28, 2019

    I was not popular in high school. Everyone says this. I now realize that no one — not even the most popular person in high school — self-identifies as popular. Lately I’ve been getting a lot of Facebook friend requests from people I scarcely knew in high school. I have a 40th class reunion coming up next year and I’ve been getting friend requests from people who, I am quite sure, would not have recognized me walking down the hall in high school. In their defense, I was par...

  • 2019 MSU-N Football: Lights aim to be dangerous on the scoreboard

    George Ferguson|Updated Aug 28, 2019

    Andrew Rolin knows exactly what he wants when it comes to offense. And he knows what it takes to be an offense that executes with power, precision and a quick-strike mentality. And while in his first season as the head coach of the Montana State University-Northern Lights, his offense showed flashes of that, he knows, the Lights are capable of so much more. And, they're out to show that in 2019. "I thought we had our moments last season as an offense," Rolin said. "But we...

  • Cat-Griz Primer: More mature Grizzlies aiming higher

    George Ferguson|Updated Aug 28, 2019

    There was so much excitement surrounding the return of Bobby Hauck to the University of Montana football program last August. And for much of the season, the Grizzlies' kept the excitement at a fever pitch. And yet, in one split second, all of it came crashing down, as the Griz fumbled what would have been a game-winning touchdown against arch rival Montana State in the final game of the 2018 season. The bitter loss ended a roller coaster ride of a season in Hauck's debut,...
