Still searching for their first win of the season, the Glasgow girls basketball team is using the winter break to improve their play on the court as the second half of the season approaches. "We are focusing a lot on defense right now," said Scotties head coach Emilee Morehouse. "We are going to perfect our defense before we get into any of our offense." The Scotties will also throw in a couple of new schemes on the offensive and defensive side of the ball that Morehouse hopes to incorporate...
Glasgow High School is hosting the Montana State Class B-C Forensic Meet on Jan. 31- Feb. 1. There are 52 schools that participate in Speech, Drama and Debate; with three divisions. There will be 360 students competing at the meet, the best six in each of the 16 events from each division. This is a huge undertaking. During the two days, there are four preliminary rounds in each event qualifying half of the students for semifinals; and eight in each event for finals to determine that state champions. Needless to say, many volunteer judges are st...
Glasgow boys basketball head coach Norm Braaten allowed his team a little time to rest at the beginning of the winter break. Business picked up as usual after Christmas as his squad returned to the practice court on Thursday to prepare for the second half of the season that starts on the road against Glendive. When the Scotties do return to the court, it will be without Jake Kolstad, who will be shut down for at least a week with back problems. “He kind of aggravates it with anything we do,” Braaten said. The first game out of the break for Gla...
The Glasgow high school team and U19 Ice Dawgs look to start off the new year exactly where they left off in 2013. The U19 squad had two games in Bismarck on Dec. 28-29, but at the time of publication, results were not available. The U19 squad is led by the scoring threats of Carley Wesley, Alex Simensen and MaKenzie Wesen. In the last four games, Simensen has 7 goals and an assist. Wesen and Wesley have faired just as well, accumulating 6 goals and 9 assists between them over the same period. Autumn Gault continues her hot year in the crease f... Full story
I have always been fascinated with sports. It started at an early age. According to my mother, I was picking up bats and balls by the age of 3 and trying to play with kids who were years older than myself. At the age of 6, my dad took me to my first baseball game in San Francisco. From that moment on, I was sold into having sports being a part of my life in some shape or form. As I grew older and realized like many others, that playing anything professional was out of the question, I began to discover that writing about it was not. That... Full story
The Scottie boys basketball team appears to be firing on all cylinders, but the torrid pace that they've been on may come to a screeching halt. Not by an opponent waiting on their schedule, but lack thereof. Glasgow enters winter break and won't have another game until Jan. 3. Closing out their remaining two games before hitting the break, Glasgow hosted Sidney Friday night. Sidney proved to be a formidable challenge for the Scotties. Glasgow went into halftime only leading by four. To make... Full story
On Friday, the Hinsdale Raiders traveled to Nashua to play the Porcupines. It was the first conference games for the Raiders boys and girls. The boys had to work hard for their "W". They found the Porcupines to be a scrappy bunch and every time the Raiders opened up a sizable lead behind pinpoint shooting by Dallas Capdeville, the Porkie's Lane Nickels popped for a couple three pointers to close the gap. But with Wyatt Pattison controlling the boards for the Raiders (11 points, 11 rebounds),...
The U19 Ice Dawgs are on a roll. Glasgow secured its third consecutive win Sunday as they beat Watford City 1-0 at the Valley Event Center. The Ice Dawgs were once again led by the offensive tandem of Carley Wesley and MaKenzie Wesen. Wesen found Wesley in the third period for the game’s only goal in what proved to be a hard fought match throughout on both sides. Minutes after Glasgow found the back of the net, Watford City thought they tied the game at one, but a blown whistle by a referee signaling that the net had become detached from the c...
On Saturday the Glasgow Ice Dawgs High School team traveled to Billings for a pair of games against the Bulls. Due to a scheduling issue on their end, the 10 a.m. game was moved to 9 a.m.. The problem was that they did not let the Ice Dawgs know until 8:30 that morning. Everyone made it in the nick of time after several frenzied calls and text messages. The game got underway at 9:30 a.m. and needless to say, the Dawgs took some time to find their rhythm after the hectic morning. In the first period, Billings came out red hot scoring 4 goals...
The Glasgow girls basketball team ran into their toughest challenge on the season so far as they hosted Sidney on Friday. Sidney came out with a suffocating pressure defense that stymied Glasgow the entire first half in which the Scotties scored a total of eight points. "They were a very physical team that we weren't ready for," said Glasgow head coach Emilee Morehouse. "They pushed us where they wanted us to go instead of us going where we wanted to." Trailing 36-8 to start the second half,...
Glasgow fourth grader Rance Rhoads comes across as shy when you first meet him. The shyness quickly fades away when you ask him about his recent trip to Denver as Rhoads finished third in the 8-9 year old age group in the annual Punt, Pass and Kick competition put on by the NFL. Rhoads took part in the competition this year thanks in large part of his parents suggesting he should. "My parents told me about [the competition]," Rhoads said. "Honestly, I thought I should try it." Try he did and... Full story
In a few short minutes, all the pain and agony felt this past football season was erased on the basketball court as the Glasgow boys exacted revenge against Baker on their way to a 63-35 victory. The Scotties jumped out at the tip, scoring the game's first 14 points. Baker head coach Jay Shumaker was forced to use an early timeout, but by that time the rout was on. "They had one game under their belt and I think probably a little hungry to get Baker tonight as well," said Shumaker. "I can't say...
Wrestling took center stage again last Friday as the Scotties hosted The Glasgow Invite. Sophomore Cody King and Senior Kevin Frigon took second place in their respective weight classes. King, 13-3 at 132 pounds this season, lost in the finals to Harlem's Teague Jones. Jones finished second in the state last year in his weight class and even after losing to Jones, King looks at the positives. "He [Jones] had second in the state last year so I don't feel too bad losing to him," said King. "It wou...
The Glasgow High School Speech & Drama Team traveled to Billings Saturday to compete at the Billings Central Invitational Meet. Twenty-six schools competed at this meet, including two AA – Billings West and Bozeman. There were over 270 kids participating. The Glasgow team came home with the third place Class B Drama trophy. Coach John LaBonty said, “It’s good experience for our team to participate in a big meet against schools that we won’t see again until State.” These teams include Columbus, Joliet, and Red Lodge. Two senior Scotties took fir...
The Glasgow boys team wasted no time picking up where they left off from last season as they beat Roundup, 73-33. The Scotties led 41-13 at halftime and put the game in cruise control during the second half. Roundup was held to single digits in scoring in three of the four quarters by a tenacious Scottie defense. "For the first game of the year we were pleased with everything that went on," said Scotties head coach Norm Braaten. Leading all scorers for the Scotties was senior Lane Herbert with... Full story
The Glasgow Scotties wrestling team kicked off their season with a bang over the weekend at the Havre Invite. Sophomore Cody King was the big winner over the weekend placing fourth in his weight class as he went 8-1 in the two day tournament. King ultimately had to settle for fourth place in the tournament as he had wrestled the maximum allotted number of matches on the second day. "He reached that five match maximum before the match for third and fourth place," said Scotties head coach Trevor...
The Ice Dawg Squirt team headed to Kalispell’s outdoor rink this past weekend. Making the trip were Colter Barnett, Jack Cornwell, Dylan Hlad, Michael Hoyer, Gage Iman, Ian Peterson, Tatum Provencher, and Gage Siefert. The first game against Kalispell had a rocky start. At temperatures hovering near zero, Kalispell scored 30 seconds in and again 4 minutes later. The undermanned Dawgs struggled with positioning, while rotating in only two extra players. In the second period the Dawgs were down to six skaters, but managed to hold the period score...
The Glasgow girls basketball team fell to Roundup in the opening game of the season 58-49. This was the first time these two schools have met and even after a defeat, Scotties head coach Emilee Morehouse is already preparing for the next opponent. “It was a nonconference game so we just have to stay positive,” said Morehouse. Glasgow found itself up by one entering the fourth quarter, but in that quarter, Roundup outscored the Scotties 19-9 to secure the win. “They played hard the whole game” said Morehouse. “They pressed hard the whole tim...
A new year and a new opportunity. That's the outlook that the high school Ice Dawgs have entering the 2013 season with after a disappointing 2012 campaign. Coming off a split with Havre on the road a week ago, the Ice Dawgs have a nice layover, which allows for some fine tuning on the ice before their next game at home on December 14. Ice Dawgs goalie Harley Eliason likes the start his team has had so far and believes if the Dawgs work on the little things, a good season is ahead. "We just have... Full story
This weekend, Glasgow High School will host it’s first Class ‘C’ Showcase Basketball Tournament. The tournament will feature boys and girls basketball from Glasgow and surrounding communities as well as schools from outside the area such. Willie Thibault, activities director for Glasgow High, said an event like this has been discussed in previous years. “It’s something I’ve talked about for a couple of years,” Thibault said. It’s an opportunity for schools in our area to play schools outside of the area.” Not only does Thibault believe...
Finishing in second place is bad enough when you do it once. It's unheard of when you do it twice – in the same season – as the U19 Ice Dawgs did last year. The Ice Dawgs are back on the ice as the 2013-14 season is under way and head coach JR Rasmusan sees his squad returning to their old form. "By the end of the season we should be very competitive," said Rasmusan. "We're capable of playing with anyone." In order to play with anyone, the Dawgs will stick with an aggressive style of play that h...
Scottie student athletes are earning plenty of success on an off the field and court these days. Thirty-four Glasgow High School student athletes, including cheerleaders, are Academic All-State Qualifiers with the Montana Coaches Association. It's more good news for a school and athletic program that won championships this fall in cross country, football and volleyball. The athletes and cheerleaders listed below earned a 3.5 or better GPA (on a 4.0 scale) for the first quarter and also earned a varsity letter in the MHSA sanctioned sport. They... Full story
On Saturday the Ice Dawg high school team traveled to Havre for a pair of games against the Ice Hawks. As is normal in Havre, the games were hard-fought, physical affairs that saw a parade of players from both benches make their way to the penalty box. Unfortunately, Glasgow ended up on the wrong side of the score, being defeated 5-1 in the first game. The Dawgs' lone goal came on the power play from Ryan Padden with an assist being credited to Sam Schultz. On the bright side, even though Glasgow committed 11 penalties, it held the Hawks to...

According to Head Coach Kraig Nordahl of the Hinsdale/Saco Lady Titans, this team handles the ball well, shoots well, takes instruction well, rebounds well, defends well and fights for every point and rebound. Sounds like a very formidable opponent indeed, and that's what they proved to be as they put away the Opheim Lady Vikings for the 2013 junior high girls basketball championship last Friday at Hinsdale. Stay tuned for more after these words... I must tell you a little about the boys. I was...
On Saturday, Nov. 23, the Glasgow High School Speech and Drama team competed in the Roundup B & C Invitational against 13 other teams. It is not often that Glasgow is able to compete against southern teams such as Sweetgrass, Columbus and White Sulfur Springs. The next time Glasgow will see these teams will be at the State B competition early in 2014, which is being hosted in Glasgow. The team brought home the third-place trophy for Drama. This is due to the efforts of our remarkable drama competitors, including Kylie Cook who took home the fir...
