The Glasgow Kiwanis Thunder swim team competed in their second meet of the season June 10 and 11, traveling to Scobey for two days of racing. The team was represented by considerably more swimmers than at the previous meet held in Harlem, and the Thunder earned fourth place overall. Last summer, Scobey hosted their first meet since building their new pool, and a new pool record was set for each event. This weekend, many of those records were broken, but a few still stand and wait to be... Full story
The rain stopped just in time for the 18th Annual Open Golf Tournament on June 12. The teams came out to support a great cause and great community, even with 1.5 inches of rain on the course. Each of the 18 teams registered, had breakfast and were all ready to tee off by 9 a.m. Every hole featured a different game for everyone, with the winner taking home wonderful prizes donated by local businesses. The games were designed so that both experienced and inexperienced golfers had chances to win. The marshmallow game, sponsored by the Foundation,...
The sand drags and mud bogs held at the Valley County Fairgrounds this past weekend drew a respectable number of drivers and spectators. The Sunday mud bogs was the most popular event, with nearly 300 spectators on hand to watch the competitors try to make their way through several feet of muck and mire. In addition to local drivers, some of the 20 entrants came from Billings, Plentywood, Raymond, Crane, Great Falls, and as far as Conrad to compete in the races. Curt Stordahl of Conrad made the trip worth his while, finishing second in the...

It was a beautiful day for baseball, and the Reds took advantage in their first game of the afternoon, defeating the Mavericks in their only win of the weekend. Miles City scored the first run of the game in the top of the second inning, and another two in the top of the third before Glasgow could answer with six runs in the third and fourth innings.

If "Northeast Montana loves fishing" isn't one of the truest statements ever made, I don't know what is. The 17th Annual Catfish Classic hosted 80 teams of two for this year's tournament. Most of the teams consisted of area and Montana residents, with some coming to fish from as far away as Indiana. The teams converged on the Milk River for some fishin' in the dark on Saturday, June 5. After the midnight weigh-ins were all said and done, Glasgow natives Tyler and Ryan George claimed...

With zero pool practice time and few competitors for the weekend, the Glasgow Kiwanis Thunder Swim Team still managed a solid performance at the Harlem Invitational swim meet this past weekend, placing fifth overall out of 15 teams. Harlem's two-day meet is typically low-key and is a good way to start the season, allowing new swimmers to experience a meet without an overwhelming number of competitors or commotion. Because they did not have a meet in their federation, a number of teams from the... Full story
Despite their best efforts, the Scottie softball team was unable to bring home hardware from the state tournament in Kalispell. Bracketing, contentious calls, and foul weather may have been contributing factors in the disappointing results. Glasgow faced Florence in their first game on Thursday. During warm-ups just prior to the game, a lightning strike initiated a mandatory waiting period before play could begin. Then, following the first few innings, the sky opened up with a heavy spring...
GEORGIE KULCZYK THE COURIER The atmosphere at the State B Track and Field Meet was remarkable. There were all the usual distractions and performances, but they were more pronounced. The starter's gun seemed to crack a little louder - even more so when it popped off twice, signaling a false start. The aroma of menthol was prevalent and athletic tape was in abundance. Tears flowed more freely and celebrations were less inhibited. The state meet also had more defined rules that were strictly...
The show must go on. Despite a day-long rain and an hour-and-a-half weather intermission, the Northern B Divisional Track Meet slowly, but surely, moved forward and the participants forged ahead. Early Saturday afternoon, everything came to a screeching halt with a flash of lightning, a crack of thunder and a torrent of rain. Spectators and competitors quickly made their way to safety indoors or took refuge in nearby school cruisers. Facing at least a 30-minute wait before the meet could...
Another spring sport fell victim to the weather when the Eastern B/C softball tournament was cut short on Saturday. The Scottie girls were playing their fifth game of the tournament against Columbus when a spring storm hit with wind, rain and hail. The game was called in the fourth inning, and the tournament was cancelled. The Scotties faced Colstrip in their first game of the weekend and came away with the win after Tiana Johnson hit an RBI double in the eighth inning. Glasgow gained an early lead with seven runs in the first two innings, but...
Glasgow's lady golfers were in Shepherd to compete in the State B golf meet on May 17 and 18. With 33 schools competing, the Scotties had some work to do. They did not shy away from the challenge, however, and placed tenth overall. Amy Nelson placed 20th overall individually and shot a personal best of 97 during the first day of competition. Her final score after two days was 202. Heidi Moon also shot a personal best on the first day of the tournament with a score of 120, and she beat that the...
GEORGIE KULCZYK THE COURIER For the fourth year in a row, the Glasgow boys' track team has claimed first place at the district 2B meet. The top tier of the awards podium was decorated with red and white in 11 events, with 23 other placers filling in the gaps. Despite nursing a sore knee, leading the boys to the win was stand-out Benji Phillips with three individual wins and a second-place finish in one event. Head coach Tim Phillips said, "We're really just focusing on competing but doing it...
The Nashua lady tracksters earned an impressive second-place trophy for their efforts at the District 3-C Track Meet held May 14. Impressive because they only had six girls competing for points. Leading the way for the Porcupines was Taylor Laumeyer with two first-place and one second-place throws, a third-place finish in the 400m run (PR), and a fourth-place long jump finish. Laumeyer also achieved a PR in both the discus and the javelin. Senior Faith Keys placed second in the discus, third in...
Perseverance paid off for the Glasgow golfers at their divisional meet in Shelby. With likely the worst weather possible descending on them, the girls earned their third-place trophy and punched their ticket to the state meet next week. Assistant coach Betty Truscott said the weather was "horrid," and the meet was called after just nine holes. Truscott explained that it was 34 degrees with snow and rain, with 22 mph winds. "It's very tough to play in that weather," she said. Despite the adverse...

Kolstad hit two homers, with Krumwiede and...
Top Ten The Top Ten track meet was held in Glasgow May 3. Meant to highlight the top ten athletes in each event, the meet produced some inspiring performances. Although the athletes participating were serious about the competition, the evening was fairly relaxed, the competition was friendly, and sportsmanship was prevalent. The Scotties were well represented and finished strong. Both Leinie Hughes and Luke Breigenzer qualified for the state meet. With her qualifying throw of 34-08.50 in the...
The Lady Scotties have yet another new head basketball coach. Travis Nielsen has been hired to replace Jon Kolstad, whose contract was not renewed after two years of coaching. Interviews were held at the district office Monday afternoon, and were conducted by GHS activity director Brenner Flaten, GHS principal Shawnda Zahara-Harris, and Middle School principal Mike Zoanni. Two candidates were interviewed: Nielsen and Glasgow resident, Mike Myrick. Nielsen is originally from the Nashua area, where he played four years of basketball for the...
Glasgow's varsity track and field team got a preview of the divisional meet this weekend when they competed in Great Falls at the Fairfield-Belt Invitational. It was an opportunity to become familiar with the facility and to compete against a different set of athletes. Glasgow was missing some placers, which left some points up for grabs, and the list of state qualifiers for the Scotties didn't gain any additions. Overall, however, the team performed well with both the boys' and girls' teams...
After four games over the weekend, the Scottie softball team improved their overall record to 11-3, and took the top spot in the conference with a record of 8-0.

Defensively, Glasgow denied the Mustangs any runs after the top of the first inning, with pitcher Tyra Johnson recording 11 strike-outs. Johnson also went 2-4 at the plate....
Scottie softball traveled to Havre for a Thursday evening game against the Blue Ponies. The Scotties came out swinging and captured the lead early with runs in the first and second innings. The teams battled back and forth through seven innings, but the Ponies were not able to outplay the Scotties, and trailed the entire contest. The bats were hot with Khloe Krumwiede, Kennedy Schmidt, Abbi Kolstad and Ziggy Chamberlain all getting two hits, and Kiauna Barstad finishing with three. Glasgow...
Head Scottie football coach Greg Liebelt’s staff will have a noticeably different look for the 2016 season than in recent years with the replacement of three staff members from the 2015 season. New coaches Greg Franklin, Josh McCrossin and Ryan Hartwell (pending May board approval) will lend their expertise and energy to returning assistant and defensive coordinator Trint Gamas and volunteer Levi Sugg. Two veteran assistants, Bryan Krumwiede and Ed Sugg, have stepped down, in addition to one-year coach Tom Daniels, who moved away after the 2...
With four meets in the books, the Scottie track and field team continues to perform well and qualify athletes for the state competition. The Scottie boys placed second overall – probably the best they could do when competing against hotshot Kelly Murnion from Garfield County and the pole-vaulting powerhouse Garrison Hughes from Sidney. Murnion swept the sprints for the boys, and Hughes put on a show for the crowd when his top vault cleared 14' 08" – more than 3' higher than any other vau...
