Another spring sport fell victim to the weather when the Eastern B/C softball tournament was cut short on Saturday.

The game was called in the fourth inning, and the tournament was cancelled. The Scotties faced Colstrip in their first game of the weekend and came away with the win after Tiana Johnson hit an RBI double in the eighth inning. Glasgow gained an early lead with seven runs in the first two innings, but...

The Nashua lady tracksters earned an impressive second-place trophy for their efforts at the District 3-C Track Meet held May 14. Impressive because they only had six girls competing for points.

Laumeyer also achieved a PR in both the discus and the javelin. Senior Faith Keys placed second in the discus, third in...

Glasgow's varsity track and field team got a preview of the divisional meet this weekend when they competed in Great Falls at the Fairfield-Belt Invitational. It was an opportunity to become familiar with the facility and to compete against a different set of athletes. Glasgow was missing some placers, which left some points up for grabs, and the list of state qualifiers for the Scotties didn't gain any additions. Overall, however, the team performed well with both the boys' and girls' teams...

Head Scottie football coach Greg Liebelt’s staff will have a noticeably different look for the 2016 season than in recent years with the replacement of three staff members from the 2015 season.

With four meets in the books, the Scottie track and field team continues to perform well and qualify athletes for the state competition. The Scottie boys placed second overall – probably the best they could do when competing against hotshot Kelly Murnion from Garfield County and the pole-vaulting powerhouse Garrison Hughes from Sidney. Murnion swept the sprints for the boys, and Hughes put on a show for the crowd when his top vault cleared 14' 08" – more than 3' higher than any other vau...

With springtime weather and availability of venues both frustrating schedules, pulling off a full middle school track meet is equal parts good timing and better luck. A number of area schools had both factors working in their favor last Saturday, at the Nashua Porcupine Invitational track meet held at Glasgow High School’s track. Glasgow’s thinclads turned out only 7th graders for the meet. The reason is that only 6th and 8th graders will compete at next week’s Culbertson Invitational, so allowing 7th graders to compete at Nashua’s meet gi...
The parking lot of GHS was full of cruisers once again for the Qualifier Meet held Monday, April 18. “The idea [of a qualifying meet] is to limit athlete's events and give them a chance to qualify for state by achieving the standards in their events, “ said head coach Tim Phillips. With 22 schools making the trek to participate, the competition was tough. The Scottie girls were able to qualify the 4x400 relay with a time of 4:17.00, and Benji Phillips threw the javelin for a qualifying toss of 195' 01”. Phillips had already qualified for the e...
