Friday night saw the clash of two evenly matched opponents as the Nashua Porcupines and the Dodson Coyotes took to the gym floor at Saco High School to determine the Junior High Girls' Championship. Both teams advanced earlier in the day with the Coyotes outlasting the Frazer Bearcubs, and the Porcupines dispatching the Lustre Lions. The game started out as both teams appeared jittery and nervous about playing in the big game. The Coyotes jumped out to an early 6 – 4 first quarter lead. In the s...
The first home game for the U19 lady Ice Dawgs was held Sunday, Nov. 22 at the Valley Event Center, with a respectable hometown crowd attending to cheer them on. Facing off against the Crosby Comets, the girls came away with a relatively easy win against their opponent. Taking advantage of a power play in the first period, Jaycee Wixson scored an unassisted goal for the first point of the game. Kennedy Schmidt scored the remaining two goals with assists from Wixson and Alex Simensen. "The girls...
The Glasgow boys put up a good fight in Bozeman on Nov. 21-22, but lost both games against a full compliment of 18 skaters and two goalies. The Dawgs struggled with 11 skaters and two goalies. Head Coach Tim Padden and Assistant Coach Mike Eliason hope to add two more skaters to the active roster as the season progresses. As things stood, Kaden Fossum, Grant Morken and Ethan Hartsock were unable to dress for the game. “We came out of the games with some injuries,” explained Eliason, adding, “but that’s pretty normal. 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...
Abbi Kolstad and her proud father, Jon, certainly earned a memory of a lifetime. Together, they followed-up on whispered rumors of moose sightings, a few phone calls, and the generosity of our vast expanse of neighborly inspiration possessed by the local population. Lead upon lead found the determined duo engaging in adventurous expeditions to nearly all corners of their large hunting district in search of a good bull moose. They trekked to Medicine Lake, Colridge, Outlook, Whitetail,...
The first competitive event for the Ice Dawg Squirt's 2015-2016 season was held this last weekend at the Valley Event Center.

Sunday...
Three days after Veterans Day, Bill Sugg (right) harvested this bull elk with the help of his sons Levi (left) and Ed (center). Matt Poole, who took this photo, was along on the hunt. According to Ed, this is the second time in 52 years that Bill, 67, has drawn an either-sex rifle tag for HD 631. "What makes it even more special is that he shot it where he used to work and live when he was a young'n for the Etchart Ranch. We always hear all the stories of how it was back then; pretty cool to...

Old friends became new rivals in Opheim Friday night, as Glasgow sixth-grade girls took on Opheim players in grades ranging from fourth to seventh. Blair Westby, formerly of Opheim and now a student at Glasgow Middle School, no doubt had mixed emotions as she played against her former teammates. However, Opheim's #32 Raelee Dowden took a moment to exchange a laugh with Glasgow's McKenna Strommen in midst of heated offense. In the end, Glasgow came out ahead with a win of 26-6. For Opheim, Alexa...
The season has ended, the gym has gone temporarily quiet and tears were shed in the locker room. These, however, were not tears of regret. There was absolutely nothing regrettable about this volleyball season! Twelve completely engaged young ladies fought with all their hearts - they have the bruises and injuries to prove they left it all on the court. They also have the pride that surfaces only when you have done your very best. Having finished fourth at Divisionals, we didn't quite achieve our...
For their respective teams, the season came to an abrupt halt. Football lost in the first round of the Class B playoffs, dropping a 47-6 contest in Baker. Volleyball fell twice on its home court and took fourth at the Northern Divisionals, two places shy of qualifying for State. This is not to say their performances went unnoticed. Four girls were named to District 2B's All-Conference 1st Team – Seniors Rikki Stormy and Rachel Mickelson, and Juniors Teagan Fossum and Khloe Krumwiede. Fossum, K...
Hosting the District Volleyball Tournament comes with some perks: home-cooked meals, less missed school and familiar beds. But this year the biggest advantage has to be hometown support. Throughout the entire season and now into play-offs, the Glasgow fans have been loud and proud. Their efforts have carried considerable weight in the hearts of the Scottie girls who have periodically been dismissed due to their lack of size but who have fought tirelessly to prove that it's the size of the heart...
Glasgow mustered enough fight on Halloween night to avoid repeating the shutout of Sept. 11, but the red and white's six points crumpled as a paper shield under Baker's iron-toothed, 47-point onslaught. The Scotties second trip to the Spartans' turf mirrored the first in all but the 42-0 scoreline - though not by much did the two portraits differ. "We played hard," said coach Greg Liebelt, "but in the end we were overmatched, and made too many mistakes on both sides of the football to affect...

Glasgow streaked to respective 4th and 5th-place finishes in the boys' and girls' Class B state meet on Saturday. Each field comprised 32 teams, though the standard of excellence set by both the male and female Running Scotties - 1st or 2nd-place in seven of nine 2015 meets for the former; the latter, five of nine- ensured the ride back from Great Falls was a muted, somber affair. Walker Allen (22nd) and Ellis McKean (24th) each crossed the finish line in under 17:20. Merlin McKean (17:47;...

SCOTTIE PRIDE IS ALIVE AND ROARING! Seattle's twelfth man has nothing on the Glasgow student section! The constant, thundering racket of the biggest student crowd in years definitely carried an already very enthusiastic GHS volleyball team through good times and lean times, ending in a solid victory over Malta, 25-21, 16-25, 25-16, 25-19. Scrappy and determined defensive efforts prevailed in the face of a much taller M'ette team, while shot selection and offensive intensity escalated for the...
The Scotties' bite proved toothless Friday night as the team was shut out by its closest rival, 48-0. The night hung low over Scottie Field, endless as the hard, rolling prairie. The red-clad masses packed the bleachers, their shouts crashing wave-on-wave upon their boys' ears. Malta stormed into the game having outscored its previous four opponents 240-28, the most recent victory being a 72-6 stomping of Harlem. Glasgow, too, had romped over foes Poplar, Harlem, and Wolf Point in its last...

McKenna Strommen, 11, harvested her first buck on Oct. 15 with the help of her proud dad, Luke. Walking for miles on the Milk River bottom to no avail, the Strommens set up a blind beside an alfalfa field mid-day but counted more turkeys than deer--until her perfect buck walked in. "I will never forget that moment in the blind when she screamed "I just shot my first buck!" and jumped up on me with the biggest hug ever", said Luke. To prepare for her first hunt, McKenna spent some time at the...

"We anticipated we'd have success with our run game," said Head Coach Greg Liebelt, "so instead of taking what they were giving...
