Portrait of a Pony

Havre High senior Avery Carlson goes up for a kill during a Eastern A volleyball match earlier this fall in Havre. After finishing second last weekend at divisionals, the Blue Ponies set their sights on the state tournament, which starts Thursday and runs through Saturday at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse in Bozeman. Havre faces Hamilton in the opening round of the tourney Thursday afternoon.
