Freshly cut grass and crisp white lines can only mean one thing for the Montana State University-Northern football program, the start of another season. And it didn’t start with a bang, or even with the clash of helmets and pads striking together. Instead, the first practice of the season began with a quick speech from veteran head coach Mark Samson and a quick team cheer on three, as the Lights took to the practice field Sunday morning on the campus of MSU-Northern in H...
The linebacker position has always been one where stars are born in the Frontier Conference, and especially at Montana State University-Northern over the last decade. And with each passing season, great linebackers depart the league, only to be replaced by new and talented stars. The 2013 Frontier Conference season will be no different, and though many great linebackers graduated the league a season ago, if you’re a betting man, bet that the leading tackler in the Frontier t...
The good news continues to poor out of the Montana State University-Northern women’s basketball program. And this time, the good news includes another local standout. Thursday, Skylights head coach Chris Mouat announced the signing of Havre High’s Brandy Lambourne. Lambourne is gearing up for her senior season with the Central A Blue Ponies and has already proven to be a talented player under the guidance of HHS head coach Dustin Kraske. In her junior season with the Blue Pon...
In some ways, it feels like fall is already here. And in just 20 days, the Montana State University-Northern football team will play its season-opening game at Dickinson State University. And the Lights, who went 3-7 in the Frontier Conference a year ago, will begin preparing for that Aug. 29 night game against DSU with their first practice Sunday at 10:30 a.m. at the MSU-Northern practice fields. Northern players report to fall camp today, and MSU-N will begin two-a-day...
The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team is just a little over a week away from opening its season in Great Falls. And just before training camp opened, the Skylights and head coach Bill Huebsch added a bit more size to the an already talented 2013 recruiting class. Huebsch recently announced the signing of 6-2 outside hitter Alexis Nelson, who hails from Saskatchewan, Canada. Nelson received several athletic awards while attending Michael A. Riffel High School, w...
A year ago, almost to the day, the Montana State University-Northern football team was picked to finish second in the Frontier Conference by the league’s head coaches. Things didn’t work out for the Lights, who went 3-7 in league play, and failed to win a game on the road. But despite Northern finishing in the bottom half of the Frontier a season ago, the league’s coaches showed they respect the program and feel the Lights can still achieve plenty in 2013. Tuesday after...
The offensive line is one of, if not the most, unsung positions in football. Many times, the big guys up front just don’t get the credit they deserve. But when it comes to the Frontier Conference, stand-out offensive linemen are nothing new. It seems every season, more than one team has a strong, big and talented offensive line. The 2012 season was no exception to that rule, and that was indicative of the 2013 Frontier All-Conference team, as over half of the lineman which mad...
The Montana State University-Northern football team is now just 32 days out from opening its season at Dickinson State University. And the Lights have two more weeks after that until they make their home debut. And when Northern does take the field, first on Aug. 29 at DSU, and for the first time at Blue Pony Stadium, Sept. 14 against Eastern Oregon, the Lights will have a brand new look. Northern recently unveiled its new uniforms on its football Facebook page, and the...
The quarterback play in the Frontier Conference the last decade has been phenomenal, to say the least. For quite some time now, it seems like the Frontier, as some of the very elite quarterbacks in all of NAIA football, whether it’s modern spread-option QBs or true drop-back gunslingers. And the 2012 season was no exception to that has the Frontier had five QB’s who finished in the top 20 in the NAIA in total offense, and three of whom were in the top 15 in the nation in pas...
It’s no secret that Montana State University-Northern women’s basketball coach Chris Mouat has a strong philosophy when it comes to piecing together a non-conference schedule. Mouat wants to play the best teams he can, at home or away, and get his team as many challenges as he can before the start of Frontier Conference play. And with the looks of the 2013-14 Skylight schedule, it’s mission accomplished yet again. Mouat recently announced the completion of this upcoming seaso...
The Montana State University-Northern men’s basketball team has went to three straight NAIA national tournaments. The Lights are also in the midst of one of the most winninegst runs the program has seen in some time. Northern has recorded eight straight 20-win seasons under veteran head coach Shawn Huse. And though summer is here to stay for a while, and the Lights won’t get things cranked up until October, the march for more Frontier Conference supremacy is already under way...
The Montana State University-Northern volleyball team had a magical 2012 season. The season culminated with a second-place finish in the Frontier Conference tournament last November, and possibly being part of one of the best championship matches ever played in the Frontier’s history. And while it seems like that match against Carroll College wasn’t all that long ago, a new season for the Skylights is just around the corner. And MSU-N will start its season with a tough str...
A pair of Montana college football players have been named to prestigious preseason lists for the upcoming 2013 Football Championship Subdivision season. Montana State senior quarterback DeNarius McGhee has been named to the preseason Peyton Award Watch List. McGhee has been a finalist for the award the last three seasons, and is considered one of the top returning quarterbacks in all of the FCS. He finished seventh as a freshman in the 2010 balloting, ninth last year and 13th...
It’s been a busy recruiting season for Montana State University-Northern head women’s coach Chris Mouat. And with the NAIA basketball season still several months away, Mouat is still busy. Last week, he announced the signing of 6-1 forward Megan Feldman, who is transferring to MSU-N after two years at Clackamas Community College in Oregon. This past season, Feldman was a key player on a Clackamas team that won the South Region, and played for an NWAACC title, falling 51-49 to...
Two local prep basketball players are on their way to playing college basketball for the next two years. Dawson Community College in Glendive recently announced the signings of Box Elder's Rebecca Rosette and Hays-Lodge Pole's Shakayla Whitecow. Both players earned Class C Northern C honors as seniors this past season. Whitecow is a 5-11 power forward who started for four straight seasons for the Thunderbirds and led them in scoring for three. In her senior season, she...
There’s going to be plenty of rodeo excitement over the next few months, especially in and around the Hi-Line. But for several area cowboys and cowgirls, the fun has already started. A pair of Montana State University-Northern rough stock riders are at the College National Finals Rodeo this week in Casper, Wyo. Northern senior saddle bronc rider Robert Wagner and junior bull rider Charlie Mack have both competed in two rounds at the 2013 CNFR. Wagner finished fifth in the f...
Typically, the college basketball recruiting season comes to an end late in the spring, but not for Montana State University-Northern women’s basketball coach Chirs Mouat who landed a prized transfer just days ago. Mouat recently announced the signing of A’jha Edwards to an NAIA national letter of intent. Edwards, a 6-5 post player, recently finished her career at Pima Community College in Tucson, Arizona. “A’jha is a huge addition to our program because she brings a great i...
GREAT FALLS — It's never easy to rebound from a loss like the one the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team suffered last Saturday night in Havre. And for a moment Thursday night, it looked like the Skylights weren't going to. But an 18-1 first-half run, two huge 3-pointers and some clutch free-throw shooting down the stretch will usually cure what ails a team. And that's exactly what the Skylights did in an impressive 65-62 win over the University of G...
GREAT FALLS — Alfie Miller, as well as much of the Montana State University-Northern men's basketball team wasn't there when the University of Great Falls banked in a 3-pointer to beat the nationally-ranked Lights at the buzzer last February in Great Falls. But Miller, and a new-look Lights' squad sure got some redemption on Thursday night. Northern made 16 3-pointers, including six by Miller as the No. 13 Lights toppled the Argos 62-49 Thursday night at the McLaughlin C...
The Frontier Conference is nearing the halfway point in the season. This weekend marks the end of the first half of league games, and it's been business as usual in the league so far. With only a month to go in the season, there have been some surprises, and some not-so-surprising results thus far. On the women's side, Westminster is the only unbeaten team in league play, and that's no surprise. The Griffins have really only had one close game since league play started and...
Bench play has been big for the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team this season. And the Skylights got that in the second half of their dominating performance over the Montana Tech Orediggers Friday night at the Armory Gymnasium. Trailing 22-15 at halftime, Northern stormed back to beat the Orediggers 54-41, and a big reason why was a Butte-tough freshman who was able to stick it to her hometown. Kacie McKeon, a former Class A All-State standout from...
The Montana State University-Northern wrestling team wanted to finish its home schedule in dominant fashion. The Lights were also unhappy with the way they performed at last weekend's NAIA National Duals. And the Lights took that unhappiness out on the Western Wyoming Mustangs. Northern, the fourth-ranked team in the NAIA won seven matches by bonus points against the 14th-ranked NJCAA Mustangs in the Lights' final home dual of the season Wednesday night at the Armory Gymnasium...
The start to Frontier Conference play didn't go exactly how the Montana State University-Northern women's basketball team planned. A close loss to Carroll College back in November coupled with a roller coaster of a win over Dickinson State on Thursday night was not exactly how the Skylights wanted to be playing at this point in the season. But on Friday night, Northern turned it all around. The Skylights put together an impressive all-around performance, beating Rocky...
The NAIA women's basketball season is already three months old. But for the Montana State University-Northern Skylights, the fun is just beginning. Northern (8-5, 1-0) will re-open Frontier Conference play tonight when the Skylights host new league member Dickinson State at 6 at the Armory Gymnasium. Tonight's game is part of a big weekend in the Armory, as the Skylights also host rival Rocky Mountain College on Friday night. MSU-N is 0-1 in league play, with a close loss to...
