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...

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...

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...
