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...

The Glasgow football team breezed through the Harlem/Turner Wildcats at the Sept. 26 home game with a 59-0 victory.

Head coach Greg Liebelt praised the Wildcats for good spo... Full story
Cool. The Scottie Invitational at Kiwanis Park in Fort Peck was cool. The temperatures cooled down into the 50s on Invite Saturday, helping the Glasgow XC runners do what they set out to do.

The defending state champion girls placed first in the team standings with 43 points, 6 ahead of Glendive on the fast, flat course. Leading them with some season-best times were overall girls winner...

I was fortunate to have three other good friends along, one being my brother to help pack it out!"... Full story
Not many wins, but a lot of memorable moments and virtual wins for your Scottie varsity volleyball girls as they traveled to Dickinson, N.D., for a tremendously challenging two-day tournament. Friday consisted of pool play against some very talented teams: Heart River, which is undefeated, Fargo Oak Grove and Minot. Scottie Pride shined through much of the day as the girls rallied to keep games close, including an incredible comeback as the Scotties made up a 4-17 deficit, barely falling to Minot HS, 20-25. "We knew we were the underdogs going...

Dealing 1B Shelby's first loss, Glasgow is the only 2B team that boasts a 4-0 record now.

The Saco-Hinsdale Wildfire took it to the Brockton Lady Warriors last Friday in Hinsdale to the cheers of a small but very supportive crowd. I keep telling youse guys to come out and watch some volleyball. It's different than your grannies' volleyball from back in the day when it might take nearly a fortnight to score a point making the games last forever. These days points are made on every serve, greatly accelerating the game and making it much more exciting. That's one reason I decided to...
The time isn't necessarily now, but it's getting there. Glasgow XC hosts its annual midseason invitational this Saturday at Kiwanis Park in Fort Peck and everyone – the girls, the boys, Coach K – is looking for some serious improvement. The Scotties consider the 3-mile course, nice and flat, as a land of opportunity and speed. With a month to go before State at Helena, cranking it up before the home crowd sounds like a plan. "We hope to cut some time," coach Rod Karst told The Courier. "We know...

Double V has ended his sports writing retirement and is back on the Hinsdale beat. Janet Bailey will continue contributing Opheim sports reports to The Courier. Meanwhile, we... Full story
After a midweek trip to Glendive, the Scottie volleyball teams came home Tuesday night with mixed reviews. The C squad prevailed and won their match in three straight games, shocking the Red Devils with their tough serving and successful offense – and maintaining a spotless record. The JV and varsity squads were not quite as lucky, falling in three and four games, respectively. "Part of the challenge can definitely be attributed to illness and injury,” coach Lori Dailey told The Courier. “We have to use a lot of players in uncomfortable posit...

The football Scotties did their part, blanking Baker. So did the volleyball Scotties, getting intense with Glendive and beating Wolf Point. But the XC Scotties, now their Homecoming Week success was double the fun. The boys won the Malta Invitational. The girls won the Malta Invitational. How far can these two teams go? "It's looking pretty promising for the boys," Walker Allen, the team's top runner at Malta, told The Courier before practice Tuesday. The outlook isn't just for this season....
This rebuilding season for Glasgow's volleyball Scotties continues with some positive payoff. The varsity this past week split its first two 2014 home matches in a competitive manner – losing to Dawson County, beating Wolf Point. Rival Malta visits this Thursday.

It looks like the Scotties have a habit of experiencing a shaky start, then knowing how to get back on track. That was the pattern after Glasgow's second game of the season. The Scotties fought hard and won a come-from-behind victory over the home team Dawson County Red Devils, 29-14, on Sept. 5. The first quarter was all Glendive. Glasgow mustered only 12 yards of offense and fumbled twice 5 minutes into the game – the second of which Glendive easily converted to a touchdown, a 12-yard run b... Full story
For The Courier Despite the mass amounts of rain that delayed the 16th annual FMDH Foundation Open Golf Tournament, the weather cooperated on Sunday, Sept. 7 – and it was game on. The 24 teams came out to support a great cause and great community. Placiing first was the Fast Farms team of Doug Nistler, Tim Dees, Steve Bell and Dave Wilkowski. Rounding out the top four were Markle's Inc. (Lee Nelson, Kris Simensen, Marc Breigenzer, Carson Buffington) in second. Independence Bank (Sam Mudlin, P...
It was a calm and beautiful sunny morning in Fort Peck. Yet, many adults and youth arrived with doubt. When it was over, they left as confident and inspired triathletes. The first annual Under The Dam Triathlon took place at 8 a.m. sharp on Sunday, Sept. 7. Twenty-five adults and 9 youth participants gathered at the first Dredge Cut. Air temperature was about 50 degrees, and the water looked cold. Trepidation was visible on many faces. There was Marj Markle with bum knees and a body that she...
The Glasgow Scotties XC runners are cutting their times with passion. Coach K loves it. “We've just had a really good practice,” coach Rod Karst told The Courier on Tuesday. “They're practicing with as much intensity as I've had with a team.” At the Billings Invitational last Friday, six of eight Scottie boys ran faster over the 3 miles than they did at the Poplar invite the week earlier. Gabe Hallock was the big time cruncher, dropping 65 seconds from 19:00 to 17:55 to clock fastest for GHS. Morgan Guttenberg improved most among girls,...
Youth from across Montana will come to Glasgow to compete in high school rodeo events at the Valley County fairgrounds at 9 a.m. Sept. 20 and 21. This rodeo will have a YRA and a junior high rodeo that run with it, and this year the high school rodeo will have a reining completion. In addition, if you are a youth up to age 9, a “peewee” or a 10-year-old to eighth-grade “junior,” you could enter this rodeo as a hometown rodeo without purchasing a YRA membership. The goal behind this is to get youth interested in the sport of rodeo. For more de... Full story
Ready or not, here it comes. Zero-week, first game, a non-conference matchup that counts toward overall standing – Scotties head coach Greg Liebelt and his staff were anxious to see what their 2014 team could do. With only 11 days of practice, the Aug. 30 game in Colstrip was an opportunity for the team to evaluate its strengths and weaknesses.

Scottie XC Nation has come to expect running excellence, and Week 1 of the 2014 season at the Poplar Invitational last Saturday showed that more could be in store. The four-time defending state champion GHS girls finished where you would expect. First. The boys also impressed. Although final team results weren't yet available Tuesday, Scottie cross country coach Rod Karst told The Courier that his boys well might have finished second to the strong Culbertson crew. In individual competition, Glasgow senior Amanda Wolff was best. She outpaced...
Glasgow's new-look 2014 Scottie spikers head to this weekend's Choteau Invitational with valuable experience gained at their season debut in the Choteau tourney. Coach Lori Dailey welcomes it. Her volleyball team is growing. “If you're a stat person, the numbers from Choteau don't tell a very favorable story,” Dailey told The Courier. “If, however, you look at the human side of things, you'll see that a very young and inexperienced Scottie volleyball team took to the court at an extremely competitive Choteau tournament and learned some criti...
