'S' words are in season at 1 Scottie Pride Drive. Spring. Scotties. Sports. Startup. The GHS track and field, softball and golf teams opened their spring sports practices Monday. The golfers teed off at 3:45 p.m. at El Cor Del Lanes. Softball players reported at 6 at GHS. And the tracksters, under first-year head coach Tim Phillips, gathered at 3:45, hit the track for some drills and took to Scottie Pride Drive to run the hills. "I'm just excited for the opportunity," Phillips told The Courier....
Lucky. Several times this season, Scotties coach Norm Braaten told The Courier that his team, or any team, needed to be lucky to get to the state tournament. Not just hard-working. Not just talented. You need to be healthy. The ball needs to bounce your way. Your shots have to fall. The Scotties suffered the wrong kind of luck at the Northern B Divisional Tournament at Shelby, losing two of its three games. The season is over for this squad that entered the tournament 20-1, was ranked No. 2 in...
The 19U Lady Ice Dawgs traveled to Bismarck, N.D., this past weekend to compete in the North Dakota Amateur Hockey Association State Tournament. The Lady Ice Dawgs were going into the tournament ranked seventh after the regular season standings. On Friday night the Lady Ice Dawgs faced the No. 2 ranked Bismarck Capitals on their home ice. Bismarck came out fired up and got two goals past Goalie Autumn Gault in the first period. The Ice Dawgs could not get the offense clicking and were unable to get one past the Bismarck goalie. Bismarck scored...
Basketball season isn't over quite yet. The signup deadline is this Friday, March 13, for the 17th annual Jeff Jurgens Memorial Basketball Tournament at venues across Glasgow. Tourney time is March 20-22. The tournament, a fixture on the community sports calendar, continues as a way to remember Jeff Jurgens, 1985-98, who was active in sports and especially enjoyed youth basketball tournaments. More than 70 teams participated last year in the big event, which attracts local and visiting teams with hundreds of players and family members cheering...
One goalie, 10 skaters, five games and a whole lot of heart paved the way to the Montana Amateur Hockey Association State Peewee B Championship for a group of Glasgow Ice Dawg hockey players. The champs, 11 and 12 years old, entered last weekend's tournament in Helena with a 6-10 record and left it with the championship, going 5-0 and beating Flathead in overtime of the final. They occupy a nice place in the Glasgow ice program's legacy. "It was awesome," coach Pat Braaten told The Courier....
The Hinsdale Raiders shut down the Savage Warriors in the first game of the 2015 Eastern C Divisional Tournament last Thursday in Wolf Point. The Raiders jumped out to a 7 to 2 lead after one period but allowed the Warriors to play catchup and tie the score at the end of the first half of play. Each team scored eight pernts in the third act, knotting the score at 25 all going into the final period. After a lackluster 28 minutes of play, the Raiders finally caught fire and outscored and out...
BY JIM ORR THE COURIER After a 1-5 start this season, the Scotties girls basketball team went 9-6 over their next 15 games and placed third at the 2B District tournament. Then came last week's Northern B Divisional at Malta. Coach Jon Kolstad's improved squad enjoyed a lead for one more quarter, 7-6, over Fairfield before falling to the defending state champions and then to Cut Bank. Glasgow's season ended at 10-13. Next year will be different. This year's young group – with one senior, two juni...
The Scotties' itinerary for today goes like this. Leave Glasgow at 12:45 p.m. Practice and have lunch in Havre. Arrive in Shelby tonight. When you're on the road to the Northern B Divisional Boys Basketball Tournament – 261 miles of road – you make time to practice. It will be at Havre Middle School. "It will be review, up-and-down stuff for against Rocky Boy," G-Town coach Norm Braaten told The Courier. "Get them loose after sitting on the bus. They're ready to go." It's go time. The Sco...
The first game of the girls 2015 Eastern C Tournament got underway in the Wolf Point High School gymnasium last Wednesday with the Lady Panthers of Saco/Whitewater/Hinsdale meeting the Lady Warriors of Brockton. This was pretty much one of those ho-hum games as SWH hammered the Brockton contingent 71 to 30 behind the 29 points put up by the Lady Panthers' Tatum Moore. BTW that was the girls tournament high individual score. SWH's Kourtney Simonson scored 18, Larimie Scheffelmear 7, Keira...
BY JIM ORR THE COURIER The Scotties came through as expected at the District 2B Basketball Tournament at Wolf Point. They brought the title home to G-Town. Now GHS is on a collision course to a heavyweight Divisional championship showdown against Choteau in a couple of weekends if the games unfold as expected. Choteau is ranked first and Glasgow second in Montana Class B. At the Wolves Den last weekend, the top-seeded, 19-1 Scotties did away with surprise opponent Poplar, 75-29, in the...
The Scotties ended the District 2B Girls Basketball Tournament in the same place they began it. The third seed went 2-1 at the tourney, placing third and advancing to Divisionals at Malta. Their reward is a matchup Thursday with the Fairfield, which saw its historic 120-win streak end this month and placed second to Choteau in the 1B District tourney. "We don't have anything to lose," Glasgow coach Jon Kolstad told The Courier. "The girls aren't starstruck. I think we'll be fine." The Scotties...

The contestants came from Glasgow, Jordan, Miles City, Brockway, Poplar, Wolf Point, Froid, Nashua, Fort Peck, Westby, McCabe, Park City, and...

Kasey Seyfert placed third at 120 and Cody King sixth at 138. And as a unit, the six Scotties at the state B/C wrestling tournament in Billings last weekend made it to the Sweet 16 top teams. "We did OK," coach Jory Casterline told The Courier. "I knew with our (disappointing) Divisional that we had that we wouldn't do as good as we hoped at State." Seyfert, a year after placing sixth at 113 at State, placed third this time around at 120. He decisioned Jonathan Schmidt of Eureka, 10-6, in the...
The state comes to Glasgow this weekend. The U19 and U14 Lady Ice Dawgs teams host the Montana Amateur Hockey Association State Hockey Tournament from Friday to Sunday at Valley Event Center. "I think it's a great draw for people to acknowledge hockey in this area," U19 coach Ken Schmidt told The Courier. "The girls have been playing great, and it brings people to town." The U19 girls figure to be in the hunt for the title, but they'll need to be at their best. The team, including several...
The Scotties' season turned much for the better in the matter of two calendar days and, say, 30 seconds of game clock. When they woke up last Friday, the girls occupied fourth place in District 2B. By Saturday evening, they were in third – for good – after closing their regular season with a win over last place Poplar and a stunning rally over second place Wolf Point. Early in the season, coach Jon Kolstad said, "We're going to be OK," after the Scotties' rough start. He called the team a wor...
Before the District 2B Boy Basketball Tournament even gets going, the regular season conference champion Scotties are in the tourney's Final Four and assured a ticket to Divisional. But coach Norm Braaten still wants his players, ranked No. 2 in the state, to bring their 'A' game. The killer instinct. That's what he wants to see in the two games – the semifinal and the final – that top seed G-Town is expected to play at District. It wasn't quite there in the wins over Poplar and Wolf Point last weekend, as convincing as they were. “We want...
The catch of the day is worth $2,000 this weekend. That's what the winner gets Saturday at the 18th annual Ice Fishing Derby at Dredge Cuts Pond in Fort Peck.

The Scottie boys are playing some improved ball as they approach their last weekend of the regular season and the District 2B Tournament next week. With Poplar coming to town Friday and Wolf Point on Saturday, G-Town is 8-0 in the division, 15-1 overall and No. 2 in Montana behind 16-0 Choteau in the MaxPreps Class B basketball rankings. This weekend's games are important although 2B rivals Poplar (3-5, 8-8) and Wolf Point (4-4, 7-9) are nowhere near the Scotties in the standings. You can throw...
The 19U Lady Ice Dawgs traveled to Williston, North Dakota, this past weekend to play four League games against the North Dakota Amateur Hockey Association’s northeast teams.
