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...

You would have been forgiven if you had worried about the Scotties' chances at the State Tournament in Billings on Feb. 14 and 15. A tough season with a number of challenges, illnesses, injuries, a second-place finish to Huntley Project at Divisionals and a series of peaks and valleys at State had set the tone at the close of business Friday at Metra Park.

It was the last night on the Scottie gymnasium floor for four Scottie seniors-Keely Fossum, Anika Peters, Laura Ross and Taylor Pederson-and they made it count.

The Scottie boys basketball team met up with the Harlem Wildcats on the floor of the Scottie gymnasium on Feb. 6, but the outcome was nowhere close to what the team expected walking out on the court that evening.

Then in the second they fell slightly but maintained a manageable point spread of five points going into the half...
The only thing the Lady Scotties basketball team ran out of at their Feb. 6 game against the Harlem Wildcats was time. They certainly did not run out of motivation as they fought with all their might to the last second to score every basket possible against Harlem.

In the first three quarters the Scotties fell behind by nearly 30 points but battled back to close the gap in the fourth quarter and bring it down to a single-digit...
