  • Dealing with loss during the Christmas season

    Updated Dec 4, 2017

    I will never forget the first Christmas after my mother passed away. She died in late August of 1998 and it was our first Christmas without her. We had so much to be thankful for: our oldest daughter, Beth was returning to live and work in Havre; I was starting a new job at Northern Montana Health Care in January; the other girls were adjusting well and doing well in school; and farming was going well. After the Christmas story in Luke 2 was read and gifts were opened, I melted. In all my years, it was my first without Mom. I...

  • Bobby is back in town

    George Ferguson|Updated Dec 4, 2017

    When Bobby Hauck was announced as Montana’s head coach in December of 2002, the narrative wasn’t that the Griz need saving. Instead, it was about one of UM and Montana’s native sons coming home. However, almost 15 years to the day Hauck was introduced to the Grizzlies, he was re-introduced to Griz Nation once again, only this time, he is indeed being looked at as a savior. Hauck returned Friday as head football coach at Montana, a program he led to three FCS national champ...

    George Ferguson|Updated Dec 4, 2017

    In a 24-hour span, the Montana State University-Northern Lights have probably never had two more dramatic Frontier Conference games than the two they played this weekend. And it was only the beginning. Northern began league play Friday night with a thrilling 99-93 overtime victory over Rocky Mountain College in the Armory Gymnasium. However, 24 hours later, Northern was on the other end of the drama, as No. 12 Carroll College outlasted the Lights in a wild overtime game,...

  • Skylights topple Saints in the Armory

    George Ferguson|Updated Dec 4, 2017

    When the Montana State University-Northern Skylights woke up Saturday morning, they weren't happy. They were coming off a disheartening, 15-point loss to Rocky Mountain College in their Frontier Conference opener. Fortunately for the Skylights though, they could do something about it, and they did just that. They rebounded from the loss to the Battlin' Bears with a dominant, 53-42 win over their biggest rival, Carroll College, Saturday night inside a raucous Armory Gymnasium....

  • Lights sweep duals, find mat success in Great Falls

    George Ferguson|Updated Dec 4, 2017

    It was a busy weekend for the Montana State University-Northern wrestling team. But after a week off for Thanksgiving, the Lights didn’t show any rust. The No. 12 Lights were in Great Falls Friday for the Argo Duals, where they went a perect 3-0. On Saturday, Northern took part in the Heritage Inn Open, and, a Lights’ squad that entered just 10 grapplers and held out several key starters, still finished fourth in a tournament that featured some top-level competition. Fri...
