First impressions of Shalynn Pedersen may be of a docile, unassuming teenager. At times, that may be true, but she also has athleticism and determination running through her veins.

In addition to being a part of a very successful Scottie football season, he also finished on top of his game as a state champion wrestler his senior yea...

The Glasgow Scotties took a skeleton crew of sorts to the Williston cross country meet on Aug. 25. With several athletes unable to compete for a number of reasons, the team didn't run to its full potential.

I've been a sports mom for a long time, and a fledgling sports writer for a few years. I've had the opportunity to observe many coaches.

They want their athletes to work hard all year, they want dedication to the sport and they are willing to put the time in themselves for the athletes to achieve their goals. Every summer, you will find the dedicated athletes of...
