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...
Glasgow, MT – HiLine Youth Hockey invites boys and girls to the Valley Event Center on Saturday, Nov. 7 for a Try Hockey For Free clinic as part of Come Play Hockey Month. Starting at 1:00p.m.local youth, ages 4 to 9, are encouraged to experience ice hockey for the first time and learn the basic skills in a fun, safe environment. “We look forward to welcoming families to the Valley Event Center to try our great sport of ice hockey” said Pat Braaten. “Our goal is for these families to enjoy watching their kids learn new skills with big smiles...
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...
The Red and White returned from Poplar in high spirits. A 63-22 victory over the host Indians marked the team's third straight conference triumph and sets up a winner-take-all showdown with Malta for the District 2B division title. The Scotties ran up the score early via a potent offensive attack. After the first quarter, the team led 28-0. At half, the score was 42-7. "We anticipated we'd have success with our run game," said Head Coach Greg Liebelt, "so instead of taking what they were giving...
A wide-swept hurricane of detritus pocks the empty Valley County Event Center parking lot on a hot mid-July morning. Crumpled Wrigley wrappers, beer cans crushed into the loose gravel by indifferent truck tires, and used "human snakeskins" croak inert melodies of their bygone import from isolated lily pads on an ocean of disuse begotten by excitable Northeastern Montana fairgoers too hurried to maintain the plain beauty of the unadorned. The first flutter of torn, spent plastic from between...
Four Glasgow runners finished in their respective meet's overall top five - Walker Allen and Ellis McKean for the boys, Emily and Julia Kolstad for the girls - as the Scotties coasted to top honors in Plentywood on Oct. 17. Merlin McKean, Braden Meland, and Cade Myrick rounded out the male scorers in their fourth victory of the season. Morgan Guttenberg, Alex Simensen, and Katie Kaiser slotted 3-4-5 for the girls, whose triumph marked a hat-trick of 1st place races in 2015. Saturday, both...
The Scottie volleyball season is rapidly coming to a close. Another conference victory, this one over a very scrappy and determined Harlem team, put the Scotties closer to finishing on top of the 2B District. But there are two more important matches before tourney time. GHS travels to Sidney for a re-match against the Class A Eagles. Overpowering offense kept the Scotties out of the game two weeks ago, but they are aiming for a different outcome this time. Hopefully the extra hours of defensive...
Carroll MT Properties, the Bureau of Land Management and the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation have teamed together to improve access to over 30,000 acres of public lands and to provide new access to 9,000 acres of private lands. This agreement, which begins with the start of the big game rifle season, provides public hunting access to the heart of the Deep Creek and Willow Creek watersheds in the northern portion of Valley County on the former Hinsdale Livestock Company lands. The agreement provides an access point off of Rock...
Local young basketball players enjoyed an afternoon with the MSU-Northern Lady Skylights team in a skills camp organized by the Glasgow Area Basketball Club on Oct. 17. Skylights head coach, Chris Mouat, reviews the drills that the kids practiced in this free clinic. The Skylights later played an exhibition game against the Miles City Community College at GHS....
"It was another step in the right direction for us," said head coach Greg Liebelt of his team's 35-0 drubbing of the Harlem Wildcats. "We played well." Coach Liebelt's sentiments would not - could not - have applied to his team a fortnight ago. Now, though, after a second-consecutive rousing smackdown of a division 2B rival, a playoff berth looking all the more likely to rise from the ashes of the first four weeks' charred horror show, Liebelt's levity fits his squad's form as a sleek tuxedo on...
The rigors of everyday training endow Chase Fossum with a lurid portrait of balance's necessity in a productive life. Couple lifting sessions, team meetings and on-field practices with the social and scholarly demands placed on the shoulders of any college freshman, and one is left with a rough sketch of the NAIA athlete's kinetic schedule. This not to label the life too tall a drink for the young man. When the seemingly unconquerable is fitted with self-imported structure, the chimerical beast...
Talk about a comeback! In unfamiliar territory, against a strong Class A Glendive team, the GHS girls started out in spurts - sometimes good, sometimes not so good, dropping the first two sets. Game three showed the first real spark of their desire to compete and they played what can only be described as 'recovery' volleyball before their confidence level began to inch up and they won that critical set. Game four was a solid win for the Scotties and game five was the icing on the cake, with...
The Running Scotties strode to comfortable, if disappointing, 3rd and 4th-place finishes in Oct. 10's Miles City Invitational. Walker Allen's 17:26 in the boys' varsity race, good for 14th overall, led Glasgow's charge. Behind him came Ellis McKean (18:06, 21st), Gabe Hillock (19:03, 34th), Cade Myrick (19:04, 35th), and Braden Meland (19:09, 36th). The team's 140-point total cast an obese shadow over top three Harlem, Glendive, and Laurel's respective 28, 57, and 78 - though it provided a...
Happily accepting the award for Mrs. Heringer's class, which won the fastest fourth-grade girls race, are Mandy Lin (center) and Eve Stone (left). The Glasgow High School cross country team hosts a fun run each fall for fourth, fifth, and sixth graders at Centennial Park. The runners race one lap around the hilly park, and get a taste for competition as future Scotties....
For head coach Greg Liebelt, Friday night's rain-swept affair served as both a confirmation of his team's capability and a pealing toll to its final three opponents that the Scotties, record notwithstanding, cannot be overlooked. "This was needed, for sure," Liebelt said. "I said at the homecoming parade that we're a lot better than our record shows. We had a tough first five games, but we're a competitive team." Wolf Point's short-staffed roster was stretched thin by Glasgow's relentless...
Homecoming weekend produced a lot of action and some mixed results for the GHS volleyball team. On Oct. 1 they hosted class A Sidney, a school that hasn't been on the schedule in years past. As expected, Sidney proved to be a very well-trained, well-rounded team. The volleys were action-packed and both teams experienced swings in momentum, but it was the Eagles who ultimately brought more aggressive offense and blocking to the floor that night, taking the Scotties in three sets 20-25, 23-25,...
Well, maybe “maul” isn’t the politically correct word there but at times that is just what itseemed. A mauling. The North Country Mavericks, led by Jada Sudbrack and Mickayla Johnson, whupped up on the M-Ettes 25-16 in the first game of the match setting the stage for the next four games. Again, Sudbrack led the charge with Johnson, Delaney Beil, Bailey Funk, Tatum Moore, Casity Boucher and Payton Chopper filling in the gaps making super digs, great passing, monster blocks and thundering kills. This wasn’t your grannies' volleyball, folks....
The drive from Glasgow, Mont. to Laconia, N.H. covers 2,170 miles - 33 hours, for the speed trap-wary traveler. For Ryan Padden, a 2015 Nashua High School graduate and current Tier III Junior Hockey forward for the EHL's New England Wolves, the haul is but a melodic trill in the first movement of his Symphony on Ice. Padden was first recruited by Wolves' head coach and GM Andrew Trimble in mid-2014 at the USA Hockey U18 National Tournament. Though offered a place on Trimble's roster, Padden...
No amount of rain, muck, or wind could deter the Scotties from the task set before them in Havre on Oct. 3. The varsity boys finished second for the second straight week, falling victim to Fergus County's dazzling race, while the girls strode to a middle-of-the-pack result - third out of five teams. In the boys' race, Fergus' top five totaled just ten points above the minimum fifteen en route to a 48-point victory. The Glasgow boys, though their tally was near triple the winners', turned in a...
A soft September breeze whistled through Fort Peck as young men and women, bedecked in myriad, wild-colored singled, lined up across the Kiwanis Park grass. They crouched low, awaiting the starting pistol's crack. The Scottie boys, riding a three-meet first place streak, and the Scottie girls, on a two-meet run of their own, gritted their teeth, determined to hold fast to the attitude of invincibility through self-improvement which has defined their season thus far. "It was a fast one," said...
A winless Glasgow squad traveled west last Friday to meet the undefeated Eagles of Fairfield. Though they fought to annul the specious indicators which pointed to an impending defeat - comparative lacks of experience, size, and victories - the Scotties failed to translate that effort into a victory, and continue their battle for the season's first tartan W. The Scotties, undeterred by last week's shutout loss which saw a quarterback change and general disarray among personnel, were buoyed in...
