Zeiger has had some success competing at Gillette College, so it's likely we will be hearing good things about her progress in the future. Zeiger, a 2014 GHS graduate, is currently pursuing a degree in...

It was an unusual day for a track meet on Saturday. Unusual because the weather was perfect. There was no rain, snow, or wind. Okay, there was some wind, but it kept the bugs away. Glasgow hosted the first track meet of the year at Scottie field and it turned out to be quite a successful day for several athletes. In 26 events, Glasgow had 41 athletes/teams place in the top six. In addition, several Scotties punched their tickets to the state meet in Bozeman. The girls 4x100 relay team took gold...
GEORGIE KULCZYK THE COURIER School pride and civic identity is pervasive in Valley County. Among other things, area residents take pride in our athletic and academic programs, the hardiness and generosity of our residents, and the unique offerings our area has to offer. Traditions at sporting events and visual identifiers are undeniably prevalent in our communities. One visual identifier that residents typically associate with school and community pride are the geoglyphs commonly known as...
It's a fact: we grow 'em smart here in Valley County, and we've got trophies to prove it. The annual High School Academic Olympics were held here in Glasgow Wednesday, March 23. GHS was well represented, with two teams of five students demonstrating their capabilities in written and oral competitions throughout the day. Glasgow Team 1: Micah Tweten, Tanner Overby, Luke Breigenzer, Zach Miller, Mary Fewer, and Glasgow Team 2: Ben Miller, Hannah Mickelson, Rachel Sigmundstad, Logan Gunderson, and...
Former Glasgow Reds and current Dickinson State Blue Hawks Wacy Ortmann, Jonathan Koessl, and Jason Thibault have already had a very busy March with their team. From March 5 to March 18 the Blue Hawks had 16 games, all but 5 of them including an appearance from the Valley County trio. Ortmann, a Lustre-area native and former ranging outfielder and slugger for the Reds, is a rostered outfielder for the Blue Hawks, and also pinch runs/hits. He sees sparse innings, but has a vital role providing a...
With the Glasgow Wrestling Club competing in three different states this past weekend, the Highlanders were well-represented.

'Tis quite an honor to be selected for the All-State Girls Class C Eastern Division Basketball Team. It's doubly sweet to have two girls from the same team chosen for this honor. Two of the North Country Lady Mavericks were chosen this season. It came as no surprise for Whitewater's Tatum Moore to be picked. She earned it with her smothering defense and her pin-point shooting. Her forte, at 5'6”, has been to challenge the “bigs” in the paint by driving to the hoop and shooting the lay-up with either hand. Moore is a senior and plans to play...
The Glasgow Wrestling Club took over half of their stacked roster to Great Falls this past weekend for the AAU State Wrestling Tournament. That translates into the fifth largest team at the event for the second year in a row. With 66 teams in attendance, it would seem quite a task for a class B team to make their mark. It would not be a problem for the Highlanders, however, as they placed ninth ... behind only seven class AA teams and Havre. Setting a new club record, 40 percent of the...
With the 2015-2016 basketball season at an end, the All-State and All-Conference selection for the District 2B girls have been released.

This would be the first of two games against the Generals in the tournament. Glasgow was...
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. The defending State B champion, Choteau claimed the 2016 Northern B title after a convincing 74-45 victory over Conrad on Feb. 27. The tournament was held at Malta High...
Peewee hockey players from all over the state descended on Glasgow this past weekend to fight for the ultimate reward after months of hard work and competition. Our own Glasgow Ice Dawgs held their own in the tournament, but were unable to move into the final games after pool play was complete. Glasgow hit the ice for their first game of the weekend on Friday morning - 7 a.m. - and faced off against the Havre Ice Hawks. 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 Glasgow Ice Dawg Bantams (13-14 year olds) finished their regular season with victories against Great Falls and Havre.

This past weekend was an exciting time for the Glasgow U19 Lady Ice Dawgs Hockey Team. Glasgow, Bozeman, Missoula and Flathead Hockey teams were brought together to face-off for the State Championship Title in Bozeman, Mont. 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...
