This year, the approximate $4000 raised was earmarked for the Montana Warriors on the Water program. Another relatively new event, the Laser Regatta, was also held the end of August with...

Montana FWP is taking public comment on two proposed rule changes: one on commercial use of fishing access sites and wildlife management areas and another that would increase camping fees at fishing access sites. The change to the commercial use rule, would affect the price of a filming permit for any FAS or WMA. Currently, permits are progressively more expensive as the size of the filming crew exceeds 21. The new rule condenses this into one rate for these large groups and at the same time establishes a higher permit fee. The FAS camping fee...

The District Tournament held Oct. 28 and 29 did not start exactly as the Scotties had hoped. With a loss to Malta right off the bat, GHS was forced to re-group before playing Poplar later in the day, which they did with a win after three fairly efficient games. Saturday was a whole different animal. From the moment the Scotties stepped foot on the court, they were all business. They played with stunning enthusiasm, intensity and determination, never letting down for the entire match. Along with...
The 2016 Scotties played their final game on Scottie Field Oct. 29. After earning the title of conference champs with a win against Malta, the boys were ready for a rematch against the Colstrip Colts. The Scotties started their season with a 12-7 loss to Colstrip on Aug. 27. Despite the home-field advantage and a monumental team effort, the Scotties were unable to surpass the Colts for a second time. The Scotties were a whole different team from the one that played in Colstrip at the start of...
The North Country Mavericks team finished second in the District 3-C Volleyball Tournament on Oct. 28. The all-day event proved to be a test of the Maverick's stamina, as they ended up playing in every match of the tournament. The morning started off with a change in schedule, as Brockton was unable to supply a team for the tournament. North Country took on Lustre Christian in the first official match, and it was an exciting way to kick off the day. North Country lost the first set 12-25, but...
The Scotties put on quite a show in Malta Oct. 21. Facing the rival Malta Mustangs on their home turf can be daunting, but the Scotties left it all on the field in an exhilarating win for the title of 2B conference champions. At times, it was an uphill battle, as Glasgow was assigned 17 penalties during the game, while Malta only received two. The Scotties' stellar moments, however, more than compensated for the less than balanced penalty distribution. Cade Myrick started things off with a...
The Scottie cross country runners crossed the Hi-Line to compete at the state meet in Kalispell on Oct. 22. Led by senior runners Morgan Guttenberg, Brinlie Nielsen and Kasey Seyfert, they fell short of bringing home hardware, with the girls' team placing sixth overall and the boys' team finishing just one place away from a trophy in fourth. Each Scottie runner placed in the top half of all competitors at the meet. Leading the way for the girls was sophomore Brooke Westby, who placed 24th out...
Glasgow vs. Malta After a three game sweep over Malta, the Glasgow volleyball team remains undefeated in conference play, setting themselves up for a nice start to the District 2-B tournament. During the match, the Scotties fired more than a few tough serves over at the M-ette's and kept them out of their game, somewhat. In addition, Glasgow generated some offense that added a nice pace to the game. Good decisions regarding defense and setting solidified the entire effort. Every Scottie saw...
What an outstanding match the GHS volleyball team delivered Oct. 13 when they hosted the Harlem Lady Wildcats. Pink night was celebrated by both teams and by most of the fans who packed into Scottie Gymnasium for the match. Both the C-Squad and JV teams won their matches, and then it was varsity's turn. The game began with a sign of good sportsmanship as the Scotties presented the Wildcats with pink hair ribbons, worn to honor people affected by breast cancer. Following team introductions, it...
The Scotties prevailed over the Poplar Indians in another lopsided victory on Oct. 14.

Benji Phillips scored the first touchdown with a short run into the end zone just minutes into the game. Trent Herbert lit up t...
Dawson County High School senior Breilyn Riggin came back from a one-stroke deficit after day one of the State Class A Golf Tournament to finish as the top lady golfer in Hamilton. Riggin (163) was three shots better on Saturday than her 83 on Friday to beat Lewistown’s Kinsey Irvin (166) and last year’s runner-up, Butte Central’s Tricia Joyce (168).

Only the die-hard parents and fans were seated in the bleachers for the Scotties' Oct. 7 game against the Harlem Wildcats. With the temperature dropping below 40 degrees, it was a cold, windy night to watch football. For those that braved the weather, the boys put on a good show. The majority of the game was spent in Harlem territory, with Glasgow offensively and defensively on point for the night. First Quarter The Wildcats started the game with possession of the ball, but couldn't make...

The Scottie volleyball team's trip to Scobey Oct. 4 was uneventful, as far as bus rides go. The volleyball match itself was a different matter entirely, as the Spartans and the Scotties faced off in a fierce battle of exciting offensive and defensive plays that brought the crowd to their feet. Both teams scrambled well and fought to the end, giving the audience quite a show, but in the end a very well-coached and extremely motivated Spartan team came out on top, 17-25, 24-26, 25-14, 25-20,...
North Country vs. Poplar The North Country Lady Mavericks were undoubtedly worn out before this past weekend came to an end. The co-op squad from Hinsdale, Saco and Whitewater faced three opponents in as many days. The first of three opponents was the scrappy Lady Indians of Poplar, who had the home court advantage. Although Poplar defeated the Lady Mavs in three consecutive games (25-19, 25-19, 25-14), North Country put up a good fight. Leading the team in both kills (8) and blocks (4), was...
The Wolf Point Wolves hosted the Glasgow Scotties on the gridiron Sept. 30, and they were determined to prevail over the Scotties. Unfortunately, the most newsworthy notes of the evening for the home team were their senior recognition and homecoming festivities. It took a while for the Scotties to warm up their offense, but defensively they denied the Wolves right from the beginning. Despite a 34-yard pass reception by Trent Herbert, when the first quarter came to an end, the scoreboard was...
All this talk about the importance of passing, volleyball's first and most critical contact, proved its case as the Scotties fought for a victory over the Wolf Point Wolves Sept. 29. The crowd was raucous, packed with students who never stopped cheering, students who have endlessly and enthusiastically supported us every game - what a great environment to play in. Game one went as expected: scrappy competition on both sides of the net, neither team giving up on a ball, but finally GHS pushed a little harder and won 25-19. Game two was all Wolf...
North Country vs. Glasgow JV The North Country Lady Mavericks defeated Glasgow's JV squad in three games, 25-21, 25-21, 25-21, held in Hinsdale Sept. 27.
