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...
The Scottie All-Sports Banquet looked a little different this year. Normally held at St. Raphael's gymnasium with hundreds in attendance, a meal provided by the Scottie Booster Club and a keynote speaker detailing life experiences, the banquet honors and awards student athletes, recognizing their outstanding achievements throughout the school year. For the first time, this year's event, held on May 14, was streamed on Facebook Live where coaches and athletic director Brenner Flaten were in the G...
Glasgow High School senior Ali Cunningham has had quite a unique senior year. At the beginning of the school year she balanced practices and meets as a cross country runner in addition to cheer practices and cheering at football games as a Scottie cheerleader. She continued cheering during the winter sports season for basketball and then started to prepare for the track and field spring season before COVID-19 caused the cancellation of all spring sports. While balancing being involved in...
Glasgow natives Brenner and Jason Flaten snatched the first-place prize at the 2020 Yellowstone Challenge Catfish Tournament this past weekend. The tournament, which was founded by one of this year's champions, Jason Flaten, in 2007, takes place along the Yellowstone and is headquartered at Cowboys Bar in Huntley, Mont. This year 51 boats took over the waters of America's longest free-flowing river to net massive cats, but only one team could become the champs. The Flatens managed a basket of 29...
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...
Hi-Line Youth Hockey played host for the MAHA State Bantam Tournament at the Valley Event Center, March 13-15, despite the fears over the COVID 19 pandemic.

The Glasgow Ice Dawgs’ Squirts concluded their season at the MAHA State Tournament in Havre this past weekend, Feb. 28 through March 1. While the tournament went much the way the season did for the young team, coach Landon Holte told the Courier, “Kids played very hard and never gave up this whole season.” That hard work did lead to a couple of close games for the Dawgs but unfortunately the team was not able to secure any wins over the weekend. Glasgow faced off against Havre on Friday night and the Dawgs dropped the game by a single goal,...
The Scottie boys basketball team had a disappointing end to their 2020 season at the Northern B Divisional Tournament in Malta on Feb. 27 and 28.

In the first round of play, the Lady Scotties met the Malta M-Ettes in the early afternoon of Feb. 21.

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. That tone was short-lived however, and on Saturday morning the Scotties rallied to go undefeated in their first seven matches of the second...
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 Scotties managed to hold the Wolves as well and they ended the game ahead by 31 points-71 to 40. Unwilling to make their last...
The Glasgow Scottie boys basketball team stepped out in front of their home crowd for the last time this season on Feb. 13. The starting line-up for the game included all five Scottie seniors-Kobe Sibley, Alec Boland, Tim Wageman, Saul Hansen and Jayson Turner. Unfortunately, the festivities of senior night were short-lived after the Wolves finished out the first quarter ahead by three-13 to 16. That lead would have been more than manageable, but in the second half the Scottie boys slipped even...
It was not the outcome the team wanted, but its not over either. That was the sentiment put off by Scottie head wrestling coach Jory Casterline after his team finished in the runner-up slot at the Eastern B/C Divisional Wrestling Tournament in Huntley Project on Feb. 8. Regardless of expectations, the Scotties still pulled off a second-place finish and punched 10 tickets to State-which included two freshmen but not a top-ranked senior. They fell in the point count behind Huntley Project by a...
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. In the beginning, the game seemed to be unfolding like many others. By the end of the first quarter, the Scottie boys trailed by a single point against the Wildcats (17-18). 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 end though the only thing they needed was a longer quarter. 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...
The Glasgow Scottie Wrestling Team claimed the top slot at the 2020 Mustang Invitational on Feb. 3, in Malta.
