For years, the Havre Ice Hawks hockey program has given local skaters a chance to learn and a chance to shine. The program has won numerous state titles and given hundreds a chance to play the game they love. One of the latest to benefit from the youth hockey program is Kinzee Peterson, the goalie of the Havre Ice Hawks high school team. Peterson has been playing hockey for a nearly a decade, and she has spent that time playing for the Ice Hawks. Peterson, who didn't start...
It has been an up and down season for the Havre High softball team. But, if the Blue Ponies can play their way into the Class A state tournament, then they will still have achieved one of their biggest goals at the start of the season. Havre comes into the tournament, which starts Friday and runs through Saturday in Belgrade, with an overall record of 5-10, but a 4-4 record in Central A conference play. The Ponies will open their tournament against Lewistown, a team that...
Justin May and the Hawks pay a visit to Chinook with Northern C title on the line tonight There are a lot of reasons why the Chester/J-I football team is 6-0. And, among the biggest reasons is Justin May. May is a senior for the Hawks. He is also their best player on both sides of the ball. One moment he dazzles you with an incredible run or catch — the next he makes a game-changing play on defense. And though it should come as no surprise to anyone, the All-State performer i...
Growing up in Havre, one of the most popular vacation destinations for my family each and every summer was just down U.S. Highway 2, in a special place called Glacier National Park. I’m sure, I wasn’t alone in that. I’ve always said, I feel lucky to have grown up in a Montana, and I’m especially lucky to live in a state where places like Glacier, Yellowstone National Park, Flathead Lake, and so many other wild and beautiful places are part of everyday life here. But, in all...
After two weeks off, the Montana State University-Northern cross country teams got their inaugural season going again. Last Saturday, the Lights and Skylights competed in the Yellowjacket Invitational, hosted by Montana State-Billings. The event featured several NCAA Division II teams, as well as Northern, Rocky Mountain College and Central Wyoming. On the men’s side, the Lights finished with a score of 177, for sixth place. Black Hills State was first with a score of 21. N...

Shane Ketchum, Box Elder Football The Box Elder Bears are on an unprecedented roll, and there are many reasons why. But in their latest win, senior Shane Ketchum was a huge reason. Ketchum scored five touchdowns in the Bears' 80-26 destruction of Westby-Grenora last Saturday. He caught a pair of TD passes, ran for two more, including a 65-yarder and scored on a 77-yard kickoff return as he racked up nearly 200 yards of total offense. Ketchum is a four-year starter for the...
Volleyball district tournaments are getting closer and closer, and with next weekend being a weekend off for many area high school volleyball teams, this past week’s matches were big. In perhaps the biggest match of the District 6C East season, the Chinook Sugarbeeters all but locked up another conference title when they beat the Chester/J-I Hawks last Thursday night in Chinook. The win kept Chinook unbeaten in conference play with just two matches to go. One of those is a r...
The Montana State University-Northern Rodeo team wrapped up its fall slate of rodeos recently at the UM-Western Rodeo in Dillon. George Marcenko and Tucker Hould came away with the UM-Western Team Roping Championship. They roped two steers in 13.6 seconds to claim the title. "George scored really well, and they both roped really smart, I was glad to see what they've been doing in practice come together," said head coach Doug Kallenberger. The duo helped to lead the Lights to...
Season-openers are never easy. Season-openers on the road are even more difficult. But the Montana State University-Northern men’s basketball team found a way to overcome both obstacles this past weekend. The Lights trekked north to Red Deer, Alberta, for an exhibition game and two regular season contests to open their 2015-16 season, and they came away with a pair of wins. Northern opened the year by beating Red Deer College Thursday night in an exhibition game, then the L...
The Chester/J-I Hawks and the Chinook Sugarbeeters have been on a collision course all season long. The two teams will meet this Wednesday in what will be the de facto Northern C championship game. But, this past weekend, in each team's final game before their showdown at Hoon Field, both the Hawks and the Beeters took care of conference foes to set up a highly-anticipated matchup of two of the five undefeated teams remaining in 8-Man football. In Chester, the Hawks battled...

If anyone needed a sign as to whether the Montana State University-Northern Lights were going to give up on the 2015 season, then look no further than what MSU-N did Saturday. Yes, the Lights lost 48-17 at the hands of College of Idaho Saturday, but from an emotional and effort standpoint, Northern is still fully engaged right now. The Lights, especially a beleaguered Northern defense, which gave up 89 points two weeks ago at Southern Oregon, played with their hair on fire,...
No one likes a quitter. Fans don’t like to see their sports heroes give up — ever. But, at times, fans should be held to the same standard. Giving up on your team, no matter how sad, mad, frustrated or angry you might be, is not being a true fan. My hope is the fans of the Montana State University-Northern Lights remains true to the Lights. Because one thing is certain, the Lights aren’t quitting. They didn’t quit at any point in Saturday’s loss to the College of Idaho Yot...
BOZEMAN (AP) — Dakota Prukop ran for two touchdowns and threw for another score, and Montana State beat Sacramento State 35-13 Saturday night. Prukop was 12 of 22 for 277 yards passing, including a 79-yard touchdown pass to Mitchell Herbert on the second play after the opening kickoff. He ran for a 3-yard score just before halftime, and bullied in from the 1-yard line early in the fourth quarter and finished with 69 yards rushing. Justin Paige and Gunnar Brekke also had t...
Both the Glacier Nationals and the Billings Bulls came into this past weekend’s back-to-back winless. But after both games were played, each team would walk away with a win. The two teams met for back-to-back games within the Frontier Division of the North American Tier 3 Hockey League in Sidney Friday and Saturday night. The Bulls got the best of the Nationals Friday by the score of 7-4. Yet, the Nationals responded Saturday with a 5-2 victory, their first of the season. W...
The Havre High cross country teams saw some difficult competition last Thursday in Helena at the 7-on-7 preview meet — but that didn’t stop them from getting better. The Blue Pony boys finished 23rd in the annual meet at the Bill Roberts Golf Course, while the Havre girls finished 33rd. Bozeman took home the first-place prizes in both the boys and girls competitions that each saw a number of teams from Class AA, Class A, Class B and Class C. “It was a tough meet,” HHS head co...
The Havre High volleyball program is enjoying a resurgent season in 2015 and the Blue Ponies continued their positive momentum Saturday in Browning. The Ponies, who defeated Browning on homecoming night in Havre Oct. 4, knocked off the Indians for the second time in seven days with a three-game sweep by the scores of 25-10, 25-9 and 25-15. The win improves Havre’s record to 7-4 overall and makes them 4-1 in Central A conference play. After allowing the Indians to take a g...
In sports, experience helps. And while the body might not be what is used to be, in the case of the annual Montana State University-Northern Alumni wrestling dual, that tends not to matter much. And it didn’t in the 2015 Alumni Dual Sunday afternoon at the Armory Gymnasium. The Alumni squad, composed of many past Northern greats, with multiple NAIA All-American honors, and headed by former Lights’ coach and wrestling Hall of Famer David Ray, showed that experience and wis...
Playing Belgrade has been a nightmare for the Havre High football team the past few seasons. But on a special night in Belgrade the Blue Ponies were finally able to exercise their demons. In quite possibly the most important game in the Central A Conference this season, the Blue Ponies grabbed control of the championship race with a decisive 40-27 win over the Panthers in Belgrade. Friday night. The win pushes Havre’s record to 5-2 overall and 3-0 in the Central A. B...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights want to improve every week. And there’s no denying the Lights did just that Saturday. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to avoid a sixth straight loss. In their first-ever visit to Havre, the College of Idaho Yotes used a stout running game to breeze by the Lights 48-17 Saturday afternoon at Blue Pony Stadium. The loss dropped Northern to 0-5 in the Frontier Conference, while C of I (2-3, 2-4) picked up its second win of the 2015 cam...
It’s no secret, the Montana State University-Northern Lights want to win, and they want to win badly. Five-game losing streaks will make a team even hungrier for that W. But the Lights aren’t alone in their quest. And Saturday’s opponent, the College of Idaho Yotes come to Havre equally as hungry. The Lights (0-4, 0-5) and Yotes (1-3, 1-4) have a combined one win this season, and C of I’s came all the way back on Aug. 29. So something will have to give when the Yotes make th...
The Montana State University-Northern Skylights aren’t going to be perfect in October. And probably not in November either. But if their second, and unfortunately last game of the Duck Inn Classic is any indication, perfection is exactly what the Skylights are striving for, because even in the season’s infancy, they are looking pretty darn good. On Thursday night inside the Armory Gymnasium, Northern improved to 2-0 on the young season — doing it by blowing out The King’s Univ...
The Montana State University-Northern Lights have many great wrestling traditions. And the program itself is a tradition. Sunday afternoon, one of the best traditions in Northern wrestling will kick off the new wrestling season. The annual Northern Alumni Dual will be held Sunday at 2 p.m. inside the Armory Gymnasium, and as always, it will feature some of the all-time greats in Northern wrestling history, as well as current Lights getting ready for a brand new season. One of...
Behind every great team is a great quarterback, and when looking at the success of the Chinook football team over the past two seasons, it shouldn't come as a surprise that it has someone like Ian McIntosh under center. McIntosh, who has been the starting quarterback for the Sugarbeeters for the last three seasons isn't just a great player, he is a tremendous leader. He helped lead the Beeters to the doorstep of a Class C 8-Man state championship a season ago and after a 5-0...
