I recently received a Glasgow Courier on my front step here in Gig Harbor, Wash., and was puzzled as to why I received it. I then remembered I went online a few weeks ago to look for an obit on an old neighbor and friend and I had to complete some information online to get a complimentary view. I was told this morning when I called The Courier to make sure I did not subscribe, that when someone signs up for the trial they are also sent a complimentary paper which I enjoyed reading. I then told...
No. 4 tries harder. The Glasgow Scotties, the fourth and final team coming out of 2B in last week's Class B Northern Divisional Tournament, proved to be most competitive against eventual champion Choteau and then old rival Plentywood. The Scotties lost to both and were done, but they impressed their coach, Lori Dailey, in how they did it – with “heart and hustle.” The Scotties went down fighting. “We were proud of our determination in the Choteau match, not bowing to a very talented, very tall, very well-coached team that ended up winning...
When the volleyball Scotties qualified for the Class B Northern Divisional Tournament, it was a goal achieved for the young squad. But once they get there, tourney host and favorite Choteau awaits in the opener Thursday morning. That's a tough reward. "Choteau presents a tremendous challenge, and I hope it's one we don't back down from," coach Lori Dailey told The Courier. "Even if a win isn't in the cards this first round, I'm still looking for my team to battle cohesively." Dailey said she...
Glasgow-Conrad, the sequel, brings more, more, more to you than did the first MaxPreps Top 10 clash two weeks ago between the Scotties and Cowboys. More is at stake. The winner in Saturday's 1 p.m. state quarterfinal game at Scottie Field advances in the Class B Championship Series. The loser calls it year. More intensity is expected. Conrad wants revenge. Glasgow wants to prove it's the better team again. The foes battled closely for three quarters in the regular season finale before GHS...
Tim Phillips, head coach of the GHS track team and Glasgow's junior high cross country team, was a good role model Saturday for his student-athletes. He won the 23rd annual Turkey Trot, a 1.5-mile fun run that supports the Glasgow Rec Department and Valley County Food Bank, in a time of 8:39. That was 6 seconds ahead of runner-up Emilee Morehouse. More than 100 folks participated in the trot, which started and finished at the Glasgow Civic Center. Here are the results: 1. Tim Phillips – male, a...
The Lady Porcupines of Nashua, Valley County's sole survivor in Class C volleyball, take a short drive on the team bus to Glasgow tomorrow for their opener in the Eastern C Divisional Tournament against 1C runner-up Richey-Lambert Fusion squad. The Porkies advanced on the power of two 3-0 match wins in the District 3C tourney over rival Saco-Hinsdale, the host school. The other 3C entry at Divisional is Scobey, which topped Nashua for the district title. Porcupines coach Shersteen Cline sees a bit of Scobey in Richey-Lambert. That means a chall...
A nine-day break ends and the postseason begins Thursday for the Scotties at the MHSA District 2B Volleyball Tournament at Plentywood. Glasgow, which last played Oct. 21 in a three-game victory at Harlem, is seeded third and opens with a 3:30 p.m. match against No. 6 Poplar. The tournament continues through Saturday. GHS coach Lori Dailey told The Courier that the Scotties' time off has given them "a nice buffer to fine-tune their skills." Glasgow finished 6-4 in 2B after beating Harlem 25-15,...
Glasgow XC fell short of its team goals at State last Saturday in Helena, but they returned home with some individual accomplishments to celebrate and build upon. Seniors Josie Braaten and Amanda Wolff turned in All-State times for the girls, Braaten placing eighth in 19:52 and Wolff 13th in 20:24 over the 3 miles at Bill Roberts Golf Course. Junior Walker Allen clocked his season best time, 17:49, to lead the boys and place 30th. Scottie coach Rod Karst also noted that five underclassmen turned in their second best times of the year on the...
Montana's top-ranked Class B football Scotties are sitting at 9 and 0 with four to go in their pursuit of the championship. The Big Dawgs, No. 1 in the statewide MaxPreps standings, begin their post season gold rush this Saturday with a 1 p.m. game at Scottie Field against visiting Eureka (Lincoln County).

The Montana Department of Transportation proposes antelope signing for a number of segments of U.S. 2 and U.S. 191 in Valley and Phillips counties. Proposed work includes developing wildlife cautionary zones for wintering pronghorn antelope. This will be achieved by utilizing folding signs that will be opened when antelope are wintering in the area and closed when antelope are not present. In the case of Nashua and Bowdoin, cautionary zone the addition of a blinking yellow light to notify motorists of lingering or crossing antelope will be...
Helena, here they come. The talented Glasgow XC runners, girls and boys alike, are aiming high for Saturday's MHSA 51st State Cross Country Championships. They have some momentum after last week's double team victory at the Plentywood invite. They're confident, not cocky. Eager, yet nervous. "Everyone will have to bring it," for the girls to win a fifth straight state title, GHS star Josie Braaten told The Courier on Tuesday. "It's definitely the toughest one." Girls No. 1 runner Braaten and...
It's about to get serious for the Scotties, Montana's top-rated Class B football team in one of the rankings. This Friday's Top 10 matchup against visiting Conrad in the regular season finale should give GHS a taste of the higher caliber competition that awaits in the MHSA Class B Football Championship Series. The Scotties, 8-0, retained their No. 1 ranking with MaxPreps, the CBSSports.com site for high school sports, after their 41-8 win over Plentywood last Friday. Conrad, 6-1, sits at No. 8...
Ed Boos, a Glasgow High School sports hall of famer, joins another hall Saturday: the Minot State University Athletics Hall of Fame. Boos, immortalized on the hall of fame wall near the GHS gym, played on the 1977 Scottie state championship football team and a year later took second at State in the javelin. He was a second team all-state football player as an end in 1976 and linebacker in 1977. "I learned how to hit in football in high school," Boos says. "I carried that with me throughout my...

BY JIM ORR THE COURIER A turnover, bad break or penalty could end this amazing possibility in a flash, but here it is: If MaxPreps' top-ranked Montana Class B Scotties shut out visiting Plentywood on Friday, they'll have shut out all of Northern 2B for the season. First came Harlem. Then Malta and Wolf Point. None scored against the Big Dawg D. Now Plentywood, 0-5, gets its shot at 7-0 Glasgow. "I don't recall a season when this has happened," GHS coach Greg Liebelt told The Courier. At this...
And the winner is ... The Glasgow Scotties girls fall sports teams. None of the girls were injured in Monday night's annual Powder Puff football game before a decent crowd at Scottie Field. "Lots of current fall athletes were on the field for both teams," GHS activities director Brenner Flaten, who walked the sidelines overseeing play, told The Courier. Doing battle with plenty of emotion and some hard hitting were two teams not on the Scottie fall sports schedule: the Booty and the Beast in...
Last Thursday, the Scottie volleyball teams came home with solid wins at all three levels vs. the Wolf Point Wolves. In fact, all three Glasgow teams won in three games straight. More success came Saturday at Poplar. Tuesday proved to be more challenging as the varsity fell in four games at Malta, but there's an opportunity to bounce back tonight – Senior Night – against visiting Plentywood. Proud GHS coach Lori Dailey told The Courier that the statistics against Wolf Point show that many Scotties had good games, but what they don't cap...
It's come down to this for hard-running Glasgow XC. The inaugural Plentywood invite debuts on Saturday. The state Class B cross country meet closes the season a week later on Oct. 25. The Scottie girls and boys continued their quest for Big Sky glory last weekend with a bunch of firsts and seconds in the invitational at Sidney Country Club. For the boys, the Scotties placed second and so did sophomore Gabe Hallock in 17:41, extending his recent string of fastest individual times for GHS. Dawson...
Montana's annual youth-only deer hunt is set for Friday and Saturday this week, Oct 16 and 17. The two-day special season is open to properly licensed youngsters ages 12 to 15 who've passed a hunter safety course. In addition, 11-year-olds who passed hunter safety may hunt if they'll be 12 by Jan. 16. The youth hunt is again scheduled during the two-day vacation for public schools in October. This puts youth rifle hunters in the field during the final days of Montana's archery season. Archers and young hunters need to be aware of the...
It can get better than this – as in winning the Montana Class B championship – but this one tastes sweet for the football Scotties. The 6-0 squad shut out Malta on Saturday, 35-0, its widest margin of victory in the storied rivalry since 48-0 in 1975. This Friday's 2B game at 2-4 Wolf Point looks like a tuneup for the postseason. "Our goal all along has been getting to the state championship," Scotties coach Greg Liebelt told The Courier. "We believe that we have the personnel where we can be...
Dan Carpenter, the Griz kicking great who married a Plentywood farm girl, has converted his attempt to become one of the NFL's best kickers. They call him "money" these days because of his reliability to make field goals in Buffalo, where he's a big reason why the AFC East first place Bills have a 3-2 winning record. Carpenter was named the NFL Special Teams Player of the Week after the season opener, having kicked a 50-yarder and the game-winning field goal in overtime at Chicago. This past...
The GHS varsity volleyball team has a record of 3-2 after conference matches with Harlem and Plentywood. Solid passing led to steady play for the girls on Thursday as they defeated the Harlem Wildcats in three games straight. Amy Breigenzer rejoined the lineup for the first time after an ankle fracture sidelined her on August 26. "Amy has been so patient during the healing process," coach Lori Dailey told The Courier. "How rewarding for her to play in front of a good home crowd after such a...
Glasgow XC hits the Sidney Invitational on Saturday after hitting a speed bump last week in Havre. A week after the Scotties blazed through flat Fort Peck Kiwanis Park course in their own invitational, their times were bound to rise at the somewhat hilly MSU-Northern course. And they did. But the girls placed first as team, 10 points ahead of Fergus and way ahead of everyone else. Josie Braaten was the fastest girl in the field at 19:28. The boys placed fifth among teams, overtaking respected sixth-place Class B rival Harlem, which edged...
