All shortness of breath on June 20 at Kiwanis Park was not cause for concern.

The day started off on the chilly side before the sun came out from behind the clouds and a slight breeze off the dam kept athletes from overheating.

Golf in the best of conditions is a challenging game. Whipping wind is expected in northeast Montana and adds another degree of difficulty. Limiting golfers to just three clubs for 18 rounds is a recipe for entertainment, for observers if not the participants. A bevy of colorful phrases was heard across the course as golfers struggled to put their little dimpled ball in the hole in an acceptable number of strokes during the 3 Club tournament at Sunnyside Country Club on June 13. At the end of...
Dozens of kids and their support teams gathered at Home Run Pond at Sullivan Park on June 6 to cast their chances at taking home the biggest fish in the Walleyes Unlimited Kids' Fishing Tournament. The wind was knocked down by the surrounding trees, the bugs were off on other business and the fish were biting.

As of May 30, inspectors have caught 12 boats with invasive zebra or quagga mussels and one boat with red rim melania snails attached to watercraft. The mussel-fouled boats typically come from mid-west states or Arizona after having spent several weeks or months in mussel-infested waters.

The game of cautiously optimistic wait-and-see continues for the Glasgow Reds this year. But hope is winning out. “As long as we get to Phase 2, we will have a season,” said Board President Mike Pehlke. Recent reporting said that American Legion had canceled their season nationwide, leading to confusion for players and fans. “The media got it kind of confused,” Pehlke explained. “Legion canceled their insurance, or supplementing our insurance, but not the season.” The reasoning behind that decision has to do with fairness - some regions of...

Perhaps one aspect of life Americans have been missing most during the sweep of the coronavirus across the country and the resulting shelter in place orders has been sports. Athletics, professional and amateur, play a defining role in American life, and the sport most closely associated with all things American is baseball. And now, with Governor Steve Bullock instituting a phased reopening of the state, baseball may be the sport that will fill everyone's sports void. Students, fans and coaches...
To say 2019 and 2020 were good years for the Glasgow Scotties wrestlers would be to understate it just slightly. At the end of the 2019 season, the Scotties had put up two individual state champs-Colton Fast and Dylan Nieskens-and claimed a silver trophy. It was a catalyst for 2019-2020, which propelled the Scotties onto a championship season amplified by 10 state qualifiers, seven state placers and three individual state champs-adding Cooper Larson to 2019's list. It was unsurprising then that...
