If you aren't proud of the Scottie girls basketball team, then you haven't been paying attention. The Lady Scotties traveled to Choteau for the Northern B Divisional Tournament this past weekend, and they certainly left their mark. For Coach Kolstad, the tournament was a success. "We got about as much out of the girls that we could have. Every one of them contributed and it was a great team effort," he said. "We peaked at the right time and I am so proud of them." Glasgow 53, Rocky Boy 39 The...
Coming off a state championship in Montana, the U19 Lady Ice Dawgs had high hopes for the NDAHA state tournament this past weekend. It wasn’t meant to be however, as the girls faced some stiff competition and placed 6th out of the 12 teams in the tournament. Mayport 2, Glasgow 0 In their first game of the tournament, the U19 girls matched up against the Mayport Ice Dawgs. For the most part, it was an uneventful contest. Glasgow was unable to find the back of the net during the contest and Mayport scored their two goals in the third period. G...
The annual 9 Pin No-Tap Tournament at ElCorDel Lanes is one of the most anticipated bowling tournaments of the year and did not disappoint. Balls were rolling, pins were flying, drinks were flowing and laughter was pealing. Typically, the evening is a chance for bowlers from all leagues to get together for friendly competition. The structure of the tournament is changed from regular scoring so that a hit of 9 pins counts as a strike. It is not unusual to see a “300 game” or more. Names are drawn for teams of two, usually with one man and one...
LIH-AN YANG THE COURIER The Scottie boys ended their basketball season after two consecutive losses at the Northern B Divisional Tournament this past weekend. They were defeated by the Choteau Bulldogs, 77-30, in Thursday's opening round. On Friday, they were overpowered by the Malta Mustangs, 68-40, in the loser-out contest.

Havre was able to score two goals before Glasgow would answer back with a...
In their first game of the 2016 Girls Eastern C Divisional Tournament held in Wolf Point last Thursday, the North Country Lady Mavericks caused several of the Maverick faithful to need oxygen. This game was not for the timid or faint of heart. It was a battle royale from the opening bell to the closing wheezle as are all the games between these two powerhouse teams. MonDak has lost the last four meetings between them and Hinsdale, Saco/Whitewater or a combination thereof. Tonight was no...

The tournament proved to be a fantastic matchup for the four teams! Game #1 Glasgow would start the tournament by facing the Flathead Flames Friday afternoon. The Flames is a co-op team made up of girls from Kalispell and Whitefish. The Ice Dawgs and the Flames traded blows...
The most important game in a tournament weekend isn't always the championship game. Sometimes you have to slay the beast before you slay the dragon. After defeating each opponent in their first three games of the tournament, the Glasgow Ice Dawg Squirts fought the beast – otherwise known as the Missoula Bruins – and won. They moved on to play the Havre Ice Hawks for the title on Sunday afternoon, and snagged the well-deserved victory. They had some other business to take care of first, and tak...
Since 2007 at least one of the three towns that now make up the North Country Mavericks have sent one or more teams to state tournaments either in football (with Glasgow or Malta), volleyball, basketball or track. 2016 has creepily creeped up on us and here we are again looking at maybe another trip to the big dance. The Lady Mavericks of Saco/Hinsdale/Whitewater, a newly founded triad, just won the 3C girls basketball district tourney, as well as the 3C conference championship sporting a...
It was the Lady Scotties' first showing in a district championship game since 2012. Of course, they were matched up against the undefeated Malta M-Ettes. Although anything can happen during tournaments, the Scotties were unable to upset their rival, closing out the tournament with a 47-29 loss. The greatest parts of the game for the Lady Scotties were the first three points, and the last three points of the contest, with a whole lot of good stuff in-between. To start off the game, Glasgow claimed the lead with a two-point shot from Abbi...
It appeared that everyone who wasn’t wearing blue cheered for the Poplar Indians. Spirit soared high on the Glasgow High School hardwood Saturday night, as packed bleachers witnessed the 3-5 #3 seed Indians beat the 8-0 #1 seed Malta Mustangs in District 2B championship, 75-69, in good old-fashioned ways. Quick-footed defense, reliable shooting, and low turnovers were how Poplar corralled the visibly uncomfortable Mustangs. Even with a height disadvantage, the Indians matched Malta on the rebounds and, playing with confident energy, took o...

All teams start over with a 0-0 slate as tournament time descends upon the season. The District 2B basketball tournament, for both girls and boys, will open at GHS gymnasium this Thursday night, Feb. 18. On the boys' side of the ranking, as the regular season closed with Harlem upending Poplar on Saturday and both teams tying at 3-5, a tiebreaker determined that Poplar will be the 3-seed and Harlem 4-seed, according to Scottie head coach Norm Braaten. Therefore, Harlem and 5-seed Wolf Point...
Glasgow had a few tough games to finish out their regular season. Traveling to Malta Thursday night, the Lady Scotties faced Malta for the second time this season and recorded their second loss to the rival M-Ettes. Glasgow could not compete with the height and quickness of the M-Ettes, who shut down the Scotties offensively and defensively. With 28 turnovers in the game and a dismal 32 percent success at the free-throw line, the Lady Scotties failed to make an impression against the undefeated...
Kim Girard has been skating almost as long as she's been walking. She was born to a pair of professional skaters who taught skating and ice dancing, and began skating herself when she was two-and-a-half years old. Girard grew up in a skating family, spending many hours and days on the ice at rinks in Canada – one of which her parents managed when she was about five or six years old. As a matter of fact, Girard's mother was on the ice when she went into labor with her. "I guess teaching is in t...
Girls Georgie Kulczyk / The Courier The Nashua Porcupines hosted the Glasgow Scotties on Thursday night with two JV games and two varsity games. The bleachers held a respectable number of fans for both teams, which is one benefit of the proximity of the communities. Squaring off for the jump-ball were Scottie junior Leinie Hughes and senior Porcupine Tasha Chamberlain. Glasgow gained possession of the ball and Khloe Krumwiede claimed the first 2-point basket of the game. The Lady Scotties...

The U19 Lady Ice Dawgs finished their regular season with a shut-out against the Williston Coyotes on Saturday. Most of the action during the game was on the half of the ice the Coyotes were tending. The puck didn't make it in the vicinity of senior goalie Autumn Gault very often. When it did, she denied the goal without effort. In the first period of the game, Glasgow scored four goals. With her first of four game goals, Kennedy Schmidt sent the first puck between the pipes with an assist from...
These two pictures show the great ball handling of North Country senior Tatum Moore during the Friday night game in Scobey. In the left photo, Moore is shown giving her opponent a head fake to the left. In the photo below, she is shown as she takes the ball to the right, around the defender and to the bucket for an easy deuce.
