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...
The feeling all year among fans of Glasgow boys basketball was that there was something special here with this group. On Saturday night, the team proved that theory right in front of a raucous home crowd as Glasgow avenged a loss to Malta a week earlier in the District 2B championships by winning the Northern B Divisional championship 62-59. When the final buzzer sounded and sent the packed house into a frenzy, no one appeared to be as happy as Scotties head coach Norm Braaten. "We were...
It wasn't a surprise. The boys in the Glasgow Scotties uniforms simply knew that they've won what was rightfully theirs all along: the championship of the 2014 Northern B Boys Divisional Basketball Tournament. Winning traditionally the toughest B division in the state means that these boys won't stop fighting until they reach the ultimate goal--the state champion. Standing from left to right: Zach Miller, Kevin Schindler, assistant coach Steve Mayfield, Jake Kolstad, Jake Page, Chase Fossum,...
Districts are over and both Glasgow teams are still standing. On the boys side, many didn't get the end result that they wanted, a District championship, but all is well, especially since Divisonals start at Glasgow High School on Thursday. "We can't ask for anything more," said Glasgow boys head coach Norm Braaten. "We have our own beds, our own food, a good draw." Don't forget the Scottie faithful. Earlier in the week, word started making its way around time encouraging Scottie fans to show...
Friday night lights are back. Glasgow High School will host its annual Red &White High School Football scrimmage at 7 p.m. this Friday, Aug. 30, at Scottie Field. There will be an adult admission charge of one can of food or $1. All current Glasgow students will be admitted free, but any additional donations are welcome from students. All of the food and money will go to help support the Valley Community Emergency Food Bank. Also getting their fall seasons going this weekend are the GHS volleyba...
The Scottie girls led from wire-to-wire. Starting the day with the 3,200-meter run, the Scottie girls tallied 18 points to jump start their 164-point domination of the Northern B Divisional meet on Saturday in Glasgow. Josie Braaten finished first with a time of 11:44 and Amanda Wolff was just behind in second at 12:18.7. It was the first of five events that the Scottie girls had multiple placers. Walker Allen scored the first points for the boys in the 3,200, finishing in sixth for one point. H...
It was complete and total domination for tracksters in red at the District 2B Meet. The Glasgow girls scored 216 points, 82 tallies in front of second-place Plentywood, followed by Malta (96), Wolf Point (49), Poplar (10) and Harlem (2). The boys were not quite as dominant, but were still solidly the best team at the meet, scoring 199 points to Malta’s 163. Plentywood was third with 99, Poplar had 20, Harlem scored 13 and Wolf Point was last with two. The Scotties “came to play,” said Head...
Tamrah Pewitt and Makkell Baillargeon will make their Scottie golf debuts at the state tournament this season. The pair will be the only representatives for the Scotties after Pewitt took 11th and Baillargeon was 14th at the Northern B Divisional in Malta on Saturday. Pewitt shot a 118 and Baillargeon shot a 120, both below their season averages. Pewitt came in to the day with a 131 average on the season, including a 126 in Malta on May 4. Baillargeon was sitting at a 123 average coming into...
Knowing when to lay up and when to go for the green may be the difference between a drive home and a trip to Bigfork in two weeks for the Scotties. Malta’s course is rife with hazards that force golfers to choose between laying up or shooting for the perfect shot and the low score. But if they don’t make it, snowmen, or worse, may be all too prevalent on a scorecard. Course management has been the Achilles heel of the Scottie golfers so far this season, including the past weekend in Harlem on...
Hundreds of athletes, coaches, parents and fans traversed the Scottie track on Saturday in the slowest lap in Top Ten history. But It was also one of the most important. The lap was honoring long-time Scottie track coach Bob Farrell, who died in April. Farrell was the originator of the Top Ten meet format in Glasgow, a format that has been duplicated throughout the state. This was the first meet without Farrell in attendance in some form. “The lap meant a lot,” said Head Coach John LaBonty. “I...
A patented Tiger Woods fist pump finished Luke Gunderson’s day at the windy but sunny and warm Sunnyside Golf Course on Saturday. Standing over a long putt to finish off a team-low round, Gunderson knew that sinking the putt would help take the sting out of a bad start to his day, a four-putt on the first hole of his round. He only needed one putt this time to end his day with an 86, good enough for fourth overall and best on his team to lead the Scotties to the top team score. “We had a goo...
