Compiled by Michelle Bigelbach The Courier 10 Years Ago Wednesday May 15, 2013 A new study released by the Montana Department of Commerce predicts that Valley County will experience modest population growth in the decades ahead and then return to about present-day levels by 2060. From the estimated 2012 population of 7,604, the numbers will rise to a peak of 8,188 in 2028. This is almost exactly what the population of Valley County was in 1990. More than 100 fifth-graders from all the Valley Cou...

The Glasgow Reds baseball team is home again.

The result: Four wins, two losses and two ties, and an overall 12-8-2 record. Reds head coach Jack Sprague has this to say: “We’re not getting the results that we were expecting at this point in the year but this is a perfect time to evaluate our team. We usually use the Lewistown tournament to gauge where were at for t...
The Glasgow Reds won their first two home games of the season handily at Bill Connors Field June 3, against the Miles City Mavericks. The score for game 1 was 12-1, with the second game clocking in at 13-2. The stomping was not too much of a surprise to Head Coach Jack Sprague. "They're rebuilding from least season," he explains. "We played well and the scores were a little bit one-sided." Miles City had trouble with numbers, with many players down from what started out this season as a full...
It's the season of sunflower seeds, hot dogs, and sunscreen. The Glasgow Reds traveled to Havre on Sunday, May 10 to open their season with some Mother's Day baseball. After a small ceremony to celebrate the mothers in attendance, the double header showcased the younger players from both sides in the first game. Reds B Kasey Seyfert started on the mound, followed by Brayden Jackson and the closer, Hunter Losleben. There was good rotation of players, with the whole roster getting some game time....
Baseball diamonds come alive in the spring time in Glasgow. The Cal Ripken League opened their season in late April; the softball girls traded winter caps for helmets as soon as the ground thawed. A rare warm and dry spring has primed the area youth for another promising summer sports season in Northeast Montana. The Glasgow Reds baseball players started their practice on April 1. Spring training comes with a large amount of soil, grass, water and facility works-by volunteers-to get the f...
The Laurel Dodgers have been a thorn in the side of the Glasgow Reds for much of the season. The Reds finally got rid of that thorn as Glasgow went on to sweep Laurel at home last Wednesday and proceeded to win the remainder of the regular season games on the schedule to secure the top spot in the Eastern A heading into the District Tournament this weekend in Sidney. "We did a great job finishing out the regular season and playing at home for that stretch was definitely to our advantage," said Reds head coach Jack Sprague. "We achieved one of...
The Glasgow Reds are continuing their pursuit of first place in the Eastern A. The Reds kept pace with league leader Laurel as they swept a two-game set with the Billings Cardinals by the scores of 11-0 and 6-3.

In game one against Billings, the Reds scored...
It looks like the race for the top spot in the Eastern A division will come down to the final games as the Glasgow Reds and Laurel are neck and neck heading into the final few games of the season.

The Reds won the first game 11-0 and followed that up with a 21-5 beating. “Every inning we were putting up runs,” said Reds head coach Jack Spr...
It wasn't pretty, but with the plethora of games the Glasgow Reds have been playing the last two weeks, it doesn't always have to be. The Reds added two more wins to their record as they took a pair from the Billings Blue Jays by the scores of 3-2 and 10-5. Jason Thibault went 2-3 with an RBI in the first game, while Keil Krumwiede went 2-4 at the dish and scored a run for the Reds. In the second game, the Reds bats came alive. Krumwiede continued his solid performance from game one by going...

Leadoff hitter Keil Kruwiede drew a walk to open the game and shortly after stole second base. Gage Legare drove Krumwiede in with a sacrifice fly and the...
After suffering their first loss of the season, the Glasgow Reds rebounded nicely with a 13-1 victory over Havre on Monday. "The batting was good," said Reds head coach Jack Sprague. "We had good approaches at the plate all weekend in Havre. I expected them to put good swings on the ball and we've been tinkering with the order of the lineup, but I was pleased with the results tonight so we'll try it again." Sprague said that the loss to Glacier during the Northstar Tournament in Havre over the...
The slugging Reds continued their offensive outpour for a perfect 7-0 record on the week. Coming into the Aaron’s Tournament in Billings on Saturday and Sunday, the Reds were averaging nearly 10 runs per game, racking up 51 extra-base hits in only 15 games. Those trends continued in Billings, even if not immediately. The Reds began the tournament on Saturday night with a 4-2 win over the Billings Blue Jays. The Blue Jays struck first, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first, capitalizing o...
Glasgow’s bats were red-hot in a five-game tourney in Havre this weekend. The Reds outscored their opponents 66-7, clubbing their way to a sweep of their Northstar Tournament opponents. “Typically, in our program, we throw strikes, we play defense, we try to develop it to play close games because that’s typically the way we have to win,” said Head Coach Jack Sprague. “But the way we swung it this weekend, it was pretty much over early.” The Reds opened the weekend with two games on Friday, thr...
A young team, the Glasgow Reds B team found some confidence after their last road trip to Sidney and beat Glendive in a pair of games on Saturday. The Reds, led by starting pitcher Keil Krumwiede, beat Glendive 10-3 in their first contest on Saturday and then came back to win 9-6 in the night cap. "Confidence was a big thing for a lot of us," said Krumwiede. And confidence in Krumwiede grew with each strike out on Saturday, as he racked up 11 Ks in 4.1 innings of work. Krumwiede also only...
The B-Team Glasgow Reds christened the season on Sunday in Sidney, splitting a pair of games with the Patriots. With a dozen new kids in legion this year, there was bound to be some bumps and bruises early, according to Head Coach Jack Sprague, such as losing command of the strike zone for the pitchers. Reds pitchers walked 11 batters in 13 innings of work split between the two contests. But there were many positives, as well. “We did a lot of things right, there’s a lot of things to get bet...
Last season, the Reds had 14 players on their roster. This year, with an influx of 16-year olds, the Reds have well over 20 players ready to go, enough to give the Reds enough players to roster an A-Team and a B-Team, with a few players on both rosters. American Legion rules allow only 18 players on a postseason roster, and that roster must be set on June 1, giving the Reds very little time to come to a conclusion. The first step towards completing that roster is on Sunday, as the B-team will...
