Prior to the 2017 season, one of the big questions surrounding the Montana State University-Northern football team was who would be the starting quarterback? At the start of the season, the answer was Tommy Wilson, but now, after an 0-4 start, the answer is once again unclear.

During the first part of its season, the Havre High volleyball team faced some really difficult competition and didn't have a ton of success. But after three straight sweeps, it looks like the challenging early-season schedule is paying dividends.
