The Scotty fans who stayed Friday night to watch the girls play their first home game of the season were in for a treat. The girls rewarded them with a win over the Baker Spartans to increase their overall record to 2-1.

Their Friday night win against the Geraldine-Highwood Rivals was won by ten points – exactly the number of free throws made by the North Country boys.

Gaining the lead early in each game, the Mavericks n...

There weren’t any subst...
There was plenty of hustle and sweat in the first week of the boys basketball practice at Glasgow High School. The boys seemed as giddy as the coaches were, happy that the drop of temperature outside coincides perfectly with the start of their winter sport on the shiny gym floor. However, Scottie boys basketball head coach Norm Braaten is not happy that only 17 boys turned out for the 2015-2016 season. "That's sad for Class B. We need to start involving kids in school basketball as early as 5th...
