Holter said she...
Malta comes to town Friday to face a Scottie boys basketball team that's on a roll and a girls squad that seems to be improving. The boys defeated Baker, 73-42, on Saturday and Roundup, 75-48, on Friday, leading start to finish in both games. They are now 4-0 on the season. The girls are 1-3. They earned their first victory of the season in the home opener against Roundup, 37-31, but let a game they were leading slip away the next day in a 46-44 loss at Baker. Chase Fossum led the Scotties with...
The rebuilding has begun for Glasgow High School's storied wrestling program. This year's bigger and better version of the mat Scotties, with 15 roster members, placed 10th among 22 teams at last weekend's loaded Sidney Eagle Invitational. Tanner Roness placed third at 205 pounds, the highest Scottie finisher and tops among all Montana grapplers in his weight class. "You know, it went better than I expected," new Glasgow coach Jory Casterline told The Courier. "The kids are a little further... Full story
Opening day at Glendive for the basketball Scotties brought mixed results. The boys wore down a young Class A Dawson County team, 58-37, in their first step to return to the state tournament. The girls, with a majority of their roster sophomores this season, took a 51-31 loss. Boys coach Norm Braaten told The Courier he "saw positives" in Friday's win – a pressing defense, good passing and effective screens that gave the Red Devils a devil of a time. The Scotties outscored DC every quarter. "They were ready to play after 13 (preseason) p...
The Saco-Whitewater-Hinsdale Lady Panthers displayed their potential as a state contender at last weekend's Class C Showcase in Glasgow, the only area boys or girls team to go 2-0 in the season opening event. The Panthers looked crisp and quick for much of the going, as much or more than any Showcase entry – boys or girls –at the GHS gym. They cruised past Highwood 55-39 on Friday and Broadus 64-37 on Saturday. Junior guard Tatum Moore, a Billings Gazette Class C all-state preseason pick, led...
The weather outside was a bit frightful, but the feast inside was delightful. After the morning's freezing rain melted, 170 plates of traditional holiday meals were served at the 24th annual Valley County Thanksgiving Day Dinner. A melting pot of folks representing this community's diversity – the needy and the fortunate, those with family here and those without, the old and the young – gathered at the Glasgow Senior Citizens Center in the American holiday's true spirit. The meals were fre... Full story

On the mat, former Scottie state champion Jory Casterline debuts as head wrestling coach when the Dawgs participate in the Sidney Invitational on Friday and Saturday.

America's original "dream team" struck men's basketball gold at the Rome Olympics, overwhelming all challengers by an average score of 101-59. The Boston Celtics stockpiled another NBA championship, their third of 11 in 13 years. The Minneapolis Lakers hit the road and became the Los Angeles Lakers. And meanwhile – 5,166 miles from Rome, 1,741 miles from Boston and 1,180 miles from L.A. – basketball changed for the better at the rural one-room schoolhouse in Larslan, Mont. This was 1960, as sign... Full story

What the Glasgow football team won was the heart of an invigorated Scottie Nation. What they lost was their first game of the season and a shot at the state Class B championship that many considered so possible. The Scotties ran into the Conrad Cowboys and a one-man destruction crews named Shane Larson, a running quarterback if there ever was one. The visiting No. 7 Cowboys upset the MaxPreps top-ranked Scotties, 32-27, on Saturday when Larson ran for his fourth touchdown of the day. Seven... Full story
No. 4 tries harder. The Glasgow Scotties, the fourth and final team coming out of 2B in last week's Class B Northern Divisional Tournament, proved to be most competitive against eventual champion Choteau and then old rival Plentywood. The Scotties lost to both and were done, but they impressed their coach, Lori Dailey, in how they did it – with “heart and hustle.” The Scotties went down fighting. “We were proud of our determination in the Choteau match, not bowing to a very talented, very tall, very well-coached team that ended up winning...

When the volleyball Scotties qualified for the Class B Northern Divisional Tournament, it was a goal achieved for the young squad. But once they get there, tourney host and favorite Choteau awaits in the opener Thursday morning. That's a tough reward. "Choteau presents a tremendous challenge, and I hope it's one we don't back down from," coach Lori Dailey told The Courier. "Even if a win isn't in the cards this first round, I'm still looking for my team to battle cohesively." Dailey said she... Full story
Glasgow-Conrad, the sequel, brings more, more, more to you than did the first MaxPreps Top 10 clash two weeks ago between the Scotties and Cowboys. More is at stake. The winner in Saturday's 1 p.m. state quarterfinal game at Scottie Field advances in the Class B Championship Series. The loser calls it year. More intensity is expected. Conrad wants revenge. Glasgow wants to prove it's the better team again. The foes battled closely for three quarters in the regular season finale before GHS...
The Lady Porcupines of Nashua, Valley County's sole survivor in Class C volleyball, take a short drive on the team bus to Glasgow tomorrow for their opener in the Eastern C Divisional Tournament against 1C runner-up Richey-Lambert Fusion squad. The Porkies advanced on the power of two 3-0 match wins in the District 3C tourney over rival Saco-Hinsdale, the host school. The other 3C entry at Divisional is Scobey, which topped Nashua for the district title. Porcupines coach Shersteen Cline sees a bit of Scobey in Richey-Lambert. That means a chall...
A nine-day break ends and the postseason begins Thursday for the Scotties at the MHSA District 2B Volleyball Tournament at Plentywood.

GHS coach Lori Dailey told The Courier that the Scotties' time off has given them "a nice buffer to fine-tune their skills." Glasgow finished 6-4 in 2B after beating Harlem 25-15,... Full story
Glasgow XC fell short of its team goals at State last Saturday in Helena, but they returned home with some individual accomplishments to celebrate and build upon. Seniors Josie Braaten and Amanda Wolff turned in All-State times for the girls, Braaten placing eighth in 19:52 and Wolff 13th in 20:24 over the 3 miles at Bill Roberts Golf Course. Junior Walker Allen clocked his season best time, 17:49, to lead the boys and place 30th. Scottie coach Rod Karst also noted that five underclassmen turned in their second best times of the year on the...
Montana's top-ranked Class B football Scotties are sitting at 9 and 0 with four to go in their pursuit of the championship. The Big Dawgs, No. 1 in the statewide MaxPreps standings, begin their post season gold rush this Saturday with a 1 p.m. game at Scottie Field against visiting Eureka (Lincoln County). GHS is the first-place 2B team, Eureka the second place 7B team with a 3-6 record. "It will be up to us to play up to our potential, to be sharp and execute," Glasgow coach Greg Liebelt told...
Helena, here they come. The talented Glasgow XC runners, girls and boys alike, are aiming high for Saturday's MHSA 51st State Cross Country Championships. They have some momentum after last week's double team victory at the Plentywood invite. They're confident, not cocky. Eager, yet nervous. "Everyone will have to bring it," for the girls to win a fifth straight state title, GHS star Josie Braaten told The Courier on Tuesday. "It's definitely the toughest one." Girls No. 1 runner Braaten and... Full story
It's about to get serious for the Scotties, Montana's top-rated Class B football team in one of the rankings. This Friday's Top 10 matchup against visiting Conrad in the regular season finale should give GHS a taste of the higher caliber competition that awaits in the MHSA Class B Football Championship Series. The Scotties, 8-0, retained their No. 1 ranking with MaxPreps, the CBSSports.com site for high school sports, after their 41-8 win over Plentywood last Friday. Conrad, 6-1, sits at No. 8...
Ed Boos, a Glasgow High School sports hall of famer, joins another hall Saturday: the Minot State University Athletics Hall of Fame. Boos, immortalized on the hall of fame wall near the GHS gym, played on the 1977 Scottie state championship football team and a year later took second at State in the javelin. He was a second team all-state football player as an end in 1976 and linebacker in 1977. "I learned how to hit in football in high school," Boos says. "I carried that with me throughout my...
BY JIM ORR THE COURIER A turnover, bad break or penalty could end this amazing possibility in a flash, but here it is: If MaxPreps' top-ranked Montana Class B Scotties shut out visiting Plentywood on Friday, they'll have shut out all of Northern 2B for the season. First came Harlem. Then Malta and Wolf Point. None scored against the Big Dawg D. Now Plentywood, 0-5, gets its shot at 7-0 Glasgow. "I don't recall a season when this has happened," GHS coach Greg Liebelt told The Courier. At this... Full story
And the winner is ... The Glasgow Scotties girls fall sports teams. None of the girls were injured in Monday night's annual Powder Puff football game before a decent crowd at Scottie Field. "Lots of current fall athletes were on the field for both teams," GHS activities director Brenner Flaten, who walked the sidelines overseeing play, told The Courier. Doing battle with plenty of emotion and some hard hitting were two teams not on the Scottie fall sports schedule: the Booty and the Beast in...
It's come down to this for hard-running Glasgow XC. The inaugural Plentywood invite debuts on Saturday. The state Class B cross country meet closes the season a week later on Oct. 25. The Scottie girls and boys continued their quest for Big Sky glory last weekend with a bunch of firsts and seconds in the invitational at Sidney Country Club. For the boys, the Scotties placed second and so did sophomore Gabe Hallock in 17:41, extending his recent string of fastest individual times for GHS. Dawson...
