The Lady Scottie volleyball team was in Cut Bank Nov. 1 and 2 for the Northern B Divisional Tournament. Their chase for hardware and a place in the state tournament came to an end Friday afternoon when they suffered a season-ending loss to Shelby in three sets. Reflecting on the season, head coach Somer Hoerster said, "Overall we had a pretty great season. Entering this year, we only had three returning players that had any varsity experience, so I knew what we maybe had in age, we lacked in...

The volleyball season has come to an end and brought with it the usual range of conflicting emotions, but the prevailing feeling must actually be one of accomplishment. Even though we said goodbye earlier in the Divisional Tournament than we had hoped, the Glasgow Scotties did so with class and grace after having given their all. We coaches could not be prouder of the girls. Their fight and respect for the game and everyone affiliated with it never faltered. So now we must say goodbye to the...
Glasgow hosted the Northern B Divisional track meet on May 20, with 11 teams showing up to compete. Although there were some disappointed Scotties, the team as a whole had a super day of competition. Head coach Tim Phillips was pleased with both the boys and girls. "I don't think anybody had a bad day," he said. "We had some who didn't compete at their best, but with that many kids, it's bound to happen." Six individual champions contributed to Glasgow's success. For the boys, Luke Breigenzer...

Of the eight teams competing in the Northern B Divisional Girls Basketball Tournament, the Lady Scotties had as much of a chance as any to advance to the state tournament in Billings. This year, three teams from the division had the opportunity to punch their ticket to the big show scheduled for March 9-11. Glasgow was unable to achieve even one victory during the tournament, however, as they fell to the 1B Choteau Bulldogs and the Shelby Coyotes. Choteau 56, Glasgow 51 The Scotties first faced...
With a spot at divisionals already secured, the Scottie boys set their sights on making it to the championship game during the district tournament held in Malta Feb. 16-18. To get there, the boys had to defeat Poplar, and the Indians weren't going down without a fight. In a true barn-burner, the Scotties came away with the win, 47-46. The Scotties started off strong, out-scoring the Indians 14-8 in the first quarter. Poplar gathered themselves and closed the gap before the half. As the teams...
Coming off an exciting 12-game winning streak that earned them the title of District Champions, the GHS volleyball team trekked on over to Shelby for the Northern B Divisional Tournament Nov. 3-5. First up, was a match against Cutbank on Thursday afternoon and the Scotties continued to play efficiently, winning 25-17, 25-17, 26-24. Several hours later, it was Glasgow vs. Fairfield. Even though the Eagles had a considerable size advantage, the Scotties played big and strong, coming up just short...
The show must go on. Despite a day-long rain and an hour-and-a-half weather intermission, the Northern B Divisional Track Meet slowly, but surely, moved forward and the participants forged ahead. Early Saturday afternoon, everything came to a screeching halt with a flash of lightning, a crack of thunder and a torrent of rain. Spectators and competitors quickly made their way to safety indoors or took refuge in nearby school cruisers. Facing at least a 30-minute wait before the meet could...
If you aren't proud of the Scottie girls basketball team, then you haven't been paying attention. The Lady Scotties traveled to Choteau for the Northern B Divisional Tournament this past weekend, and they certainly left their mark. For Coach Kolstad, the tournament was a success. "We got about as much out of the girls that we could have. Every one of them contributed and it was a great team effort," he said. "We peaked at the right time and I am so proud of them." Glasgow 53, Rocky Boy 39 The...
LIH-AN YANG THE COURIER The Scottie boys ended their basketball season after two consecutive losses at the Northern B Divisional Tournament this past weekend. They were defeated by the Choteau Bulldogs, 77-30, in Thursday's opening round. On Friday, they were overpowered by the Malta Mustangs, 68-40, in the loser-out contest. The defending State B champion, Choteau claimed the 2016 Northern B title after a convincing 74-45 victory over Conrad on Feb. 27. The tournament was held at Malta High...
It was the Lady Scotties' first showing in a district championship game since 2012. Of course, they were matched up against the undefeated Malta M-Ettes. Although anything can happen during tournaments, the Scotties were unable to upset their rival, closing out the tournament with a 47-29 loss. The greatest parts of the game for the Lady Scotties were the first three points, and the last three points of the contest, with a whole lot of good stuff in-between. To start off the game, Glasgow claimed the lead with a two-point shot from Abbi...
There is no doubt that the educators in Glasgow are passionate about what they do. The regular school board meeting was held Wednesday, Jan. 20 in the district board room. Attendance was healthy, with more than 30 people in the audience – most of them employed by the school system. The board first heard reports from the student representative, Luke Breigenzer, and Principals, Rachel Erickson, Brenner Flaten, and Shawnda Zahara-Harris. Mike Zoanni, the principal at East Side School, was absent, so no report was given. Items of interest noted i...
Hosting the District Volleyball Tournament comes with some perks: home-cooked meals, less missed school and familiar beds. But this year the biggest advantage has to be hometown support. Throughout the entire season and now into play-offs, the Glasgow fans have been loud and proud. Their efforts have carried considerable weight in the hearts of the Scottie girls who have periodically been dismissed due to their lack of size but who have fought tirelessly to prove that it's the size of the heart...
One outing under its belt, the Scottie golf team is a work in progress with the meat of its schedule arriving this week. Coach Dave Riggin told The Courier that he looks to firm up the lineups for the top five golfers on the girls and boys sides. The Huntley Invitational this Thursday would be a fine opportunity for some of them to step up. Riggin told The Courier his group is “still pretty inexperienced” following the Fortsyth Invitational on April 7. Just three boys and two girls competed. Some golfers didn't travel, staying home due to ill...
'S' words are in season at 1 Scottie Pride Drive. Spring. Scotties. Sports. Startup. The GHS track and field, softball and golf teams opened their spring sports practices Monday. The golfers teed off at 3:45 p.m. at El Cor Del Lanes. Softball players reported at 6 at GHS. And the tracksters, under first-year head coach Tim Phillips, gathered at 3:45, hit the track for some drills and took to Scottie Pride Drive to run the hills. "I'm just excited for the opportunity," Phillips told The Courier....
Lucky. Several times this season, Scotties coach Norm Braaten told The Courier that his team, or any team, needed to be lucky to get to the state tournament. Not just hard-working. Not just talented. You need to be healthy. The ball needs to bounce your way. Your shots have to fall. The Scotties suffered the wrong kind of luck at the Northern B Divisional Tournament at Shelby, losing two of its three games. The season is over for this squad that entered the tournament 20-1, was ranked No. 2 in...
BY JIM ORR THE COURIER After a 1-5 start this season, the Scotties girls basketball team went 9-6 over their next 15 games and placed third at the 2B District tournament. Then came last week's Northern B Divisional at Malta. Coach Jon Kolstad's improved squad enjoyed a lead for one more quarter, 7-6, over Fairfield before falling to the defending state champions and then to Cut Bank. Glasgow's season ended at 10-13. Next year will be different. This year's young group – with one senior, two juni...
The Scotties' itinerary for today goes like this. Leave Glasgow at 12:45 p.m. Practice and have lunch in Havre. Arrive in Shelby tonight. When you're on the road to the Northern B Divisional Boys Basketball Tournament – 261 miles of road – you make time to practice. It will be at Havre Middle School. "It will be review, up-and-down stuff for against Rocky Boy," G-Town coach Norm Braaten told The Courier. "Get them loose after sitting on the bus. They're ready to go." It's go time. The Sco...
Before the District 2B Boy Basketball Tournament even gets going, the regular season conference champion Scotties are in the tourney's Final Four and assured a ticket to Divisional. But coach Norm Braaten still wants his players, ranked No. 2 in the state, to bring their 'A' game. The killer instinct. That's what he wants to see in the two games – the semifinal and the final – that top seed G-Town is expected to play at District. It wasn't quite there in the wins over Poplar and Wolf Point last weekend, as convincing as they were. “We want...
The Scottie boys are playing some improved ball as they approach their last weekend of the regular season and the District 2B Tournament next week. With Poplar coming to town Friday and Wolf Point on Saturday, G-Town is 8-0 in the division, 15-1 overall and No. 2 in Montana behind 16-0 Choteau in the MaxPreps Class B basketball rankings. This weekend's games are important although 2B rivals Poplar (3-5, 8-8) and Wolf Point (4-4, 7-9) are nowhere near the Scotties in the standings. You can throw...

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...
