  • Tester talks in Havre about impeachment investigation

    Derek Hann|Updated Nov 4, 2019

    The question of if President Donald Trump should be impeached or not is not a question along party lines, but is a question of keeping the country safe from foreign powers influencing the United States democratic system, U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., said at the 2019 Pasma-Peck Democratic Dinner Sunday.

Many of our regular judges took time from their Saturday to come and rank students from 16 schools, including Havre, as they competed in 17 different events, joined by several people who were judging for the first time or returning to judge after being out for several years. We had some issues that slowed down some of the rounds, and the judges seemed to...

  • Wisdom & Grace: Little schoolhouse on the prairie

    Ila McClenahan|Updated Nov 4, 2019

    Forgive me, Lord. The other Sunday at church I was looking around the congregation instead of honoring You with my heart and mind during the music worship time. I couldn't believe who I saw across the way! So, I impetuously left where I was standing and walked around to the center aisle to get a better look. I recognized her sister, who regularly attends, but I still wasn't quite sure. Closer I went and finally I blurted out, just below the volume of the worship music, but so...

  • Hi-Line Football: Pioneers, Longhorns roll

    George Ferguson|Updated Nov 4, 2019

    BIG SANDY - Over the last three seasons, the Big Sandy Pioneers have been on a meteoric rise, a rise, though, that has ended in the second week of November each of the last two seasons. Now however, the Pioneers are out to change that, and they took the first step toward doing so with a 51-16 thrashing of Richey-Lambert in the opening round of the Six-Man playoffs Saturday in Big Sandy.

But Havre had to face off against the Eagles once more in the first round to move on to the quarterfinals and the nailbiter of a game ended with the Ponies on top 14-13 Saturday inside Blue Pony Stadium.

  • Lights cruise in season-opener

    George Ferguson|Updated Nov 4, 2019

    The Montana State University-Northern Lights waited a long time for their regular season to get here. Nine weeks in fact.

  • George Ferguson Column: New-look Carroll will take a little getting used to for me

    George Ferguson|Updated Nov 4, 2019

    Even though it was 15 years ago, I have to admit, one of the most fun days I’ve has covering sports in Havre was when the Havre Blue Ponies captured the 2004 Class A state championship. I was only two years into my journalism career at that point, and there I was, already covering one of the biggest moments in sports history — my high school, in my hometown, winning a state championship in football for the first time in 32 years. So, I couldn’t help but reminisce Satur...

  • MSU-N Notebook: Troy joins the MSU-N captains

    Aarron Thompson|Updated Nov 4, 2019

    Andrew Rolin is a guru when it comes to the offensive attack. Ever since he became the head coach for Montana State University-Northern Lights, he has certainly lived up to that billing. Rolin knows he wants the best quarterback he can find at the helm and at the start of the year, that player was Brenden Medina. Medina has started many games so far in the season, but there has been some changes with the leader of the offense in recent games. True freshman Tre' Long took the...
