This weekend, Glasgow High School will host it’s first Class ‘C’ Showcase Basketball Tournament. The tournament will feature boys and girls basketball from Glasgow and surrounding communities as well as schools from outside the area such. Willie Thibault, activities director for Glasgow High, said an event like this has been discussed in previous years. “It’s something I’ve talked about for a couple of years,” Thibault said. It’s an opportunity for schools in our area to play schools outside of the area.” Not only does Thibault believe...
Finishing in second place is bad enough when you do it once. It's unheard of when you do it twice – in the same season – as the U19 Ice Dawgs did last year. The Ice Dawgs are back on the ice as the 2013-14 season is under way and head coach JR Rasmusan sees his squad returning to their old form. "By the end of the season we should be very competitive," said Rasmusan. "We're capable of playing with anyone." In order to play with anyone, the Dawgs will stick with an aggressive style of play that h...
Scottie student athletes are earning plenty of success on an off the field and court these days. Thirty-four Glasgow High School student athletes, including cheerleaders, are Academic All-State Qualifiers with the Montana Coaches Association. It's more good news for a school and athletic program that won championships this fall in cross country, football and volleyball. The athletes and cheerleaders listed below earned a 3.5 or better GPA (on a 4.0 scale) for the first quarter and also earned a varsity letter in the MHSA sanctioned sport. They...
On Saturday the Ice Dawg high school team traveled to Havre for a pair of games against the Ice Hawks. As is normal in Havre, the games were hard-fought, physical affairs that saw a parade of players from both benches make their way to the penalty box. Unfortunately, Glasgow ended up on the wrong side of the score, being defeated 5-1 in the first game. The Dawgs' lone goal came on the power play from Ryan Padden with an assist being credited to Sam Schultz. On the bright side, even though Glasgow committed 11 penalties, it held the Hawks to...
According to Head Coach Kraig Nordahl of the Hinsdale/Saco Lady Titans, this team handles the ball well, shoots well, takes instruction well, rebounds well, defends well and fights for every point and rebound. Sounds like a very formidable opponent indeed, and that's what they proved to be as they put away the Opheim Lady Vikings for the 2013 junior high girls basketball championship last Friday at Hinsdale. Stay tuned for more after these words... I must tell you a little about the boys. I was...
On Saturday, Nov. 23, the Glasgow High School Speech and Drama team competed in the Roundup B & C Invitational against 13 other teams. It is not often that Glasgow is able to compete against southern teams such as Sweetgrass, Columbus and White Sulfur Springs. The next time Glasgow will see these teams will be at the State B competition early in 2014, which is being hosted in Glasgow. The team brought home the third-place trophy for Drama. This is due to the efforts of our remarkable drama competitors, including Kylie Cook who took home the fir...
Hunter numbers and reported harvests at the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Region 6 game check station outside Havre are still down when compared to past years. “Hunter numbers so far this year have only been about 2 percent lower than last year’s numbers, but they’re still down 38 percent from 2010 levels,” said Havre-area Wildlife Biologist Scott Hemmer. “Antelope and white-tailed deer are the two species that have seen the largest decreases in harvest.” Region 6 antelope and deer numbers were heavily impacted by several recent hard winters....
The Scotties football team's dream of bringing a state championship game back to the home field will have to wait another year. Glasgow lost to the Baker Spartans, 22-7, in the Class B semifinals on Saturday, Nov. 16, in Baker. Scotties fans, the band and cheerleaders packed the Spartans stands. In the end, the Spartans were simply a better and stronger team. The Spartans controlled both the ball and the clock for most of the game, while crippling Glasgow's offense. It was also the Spartans who...

A BIG THANKS TO SCOTTIE NATION!!! I wanted to take the opportunity to use this forum and let everyone out there who has supported and followed us along the way, know how grateful I am once again and what an honor it is to coach the Glasgow Scotties! I still have to pinch myself to think after growing up and idolizing the Scottie football teams, players and coaches as a kid, that I would someday be leading them. We wanted so bad to bring the championship game back home to Glasgow, but it just wasn’t in the cards this year. Although the game w...
The Glasgow High School Speech & Drama Team competed Saturday at the Circle Invitational Meet. Sixteen schools competed at this meet; eight of them were Class B schools, three Class A and five Class C. The Glasgow team again came home with the Class B Drama trophy, earning 50 points while their closest rival, Plentywood, earned 25 and Huntley Project had 24 points. The Speech team came home with 52 points and a third-place trophy behind Shepherd with 66 and Huntley Project with 60. The experience that the seniors bring to the team is translatin...
In their tenth game of the season, with a record of 8-1 coming into the state quarterfinal, the Scotties were used to cruising to easy victories, it seemed. And yet the Nov. 9, 2013 victory would become the hardest they had to fight for, facing not only the tough 2011 state champion Fairfield Eagles but also perhaps the sloppiest game Glasgow itself has played. Interceptions, fumbles, failed kicks, incomplete passes ... these anxieties punctuated the dramatic game that seemed to be highlighted b...
The divisional tournament is over, as is the Scottie Volleyball season. We fell to two great teams, Fairfield and Choteau, both of whom advanced to State. Although we fell, we can proudly say we didn’t fall apart. We never stopped trying. We forced them to earn every point. We gained their respect as individuals and as a team. In the words of Coach Ann Funk (Choteau), “We are champions because we play from the heart. We are winners because of our integrity, respect and sportsmanship.” My least favorite chore of coaching is entering the locke...
After snagging the District title last week, the Scottie volleyball team headed to Malta for the divisional tournament. First round action pitted Glasgow against Cutbank. In Games 1 and 2, the Scotties could not be stopped. Superb passing allowed for a varied and effective offense, directed by setter JoLynn Reyling (35 assists) and executed by leading hitters Megan Dailey (16 kills) and Abby Dalbey (8 kills). Dalbey also led with 13 digs and 3 blocks. The Scotties won that match 25-8, 25-15, 19-25, 23-25, 17-15. The Fairfield Eagles proved to...
State wildlife officials are seeking tips from the public about the poaching of a mature bull elk on the Williamson Ranch Block Management Area south of Chinook. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Warden Dirk Paulsen said the elk was shot from the Lloyd Road just south of Cow Creek Reservoir in southern Blaine County on the night of Nov. 2. The meat was left to waste on the private property that is enrolled in FWP's Block Management Program. "The bull was discovered by hunters driving the road...
The changing face of Montana class C boys and girls sports is becoming more evident daily. Small towns across the state are losing population at an alarming rate, causing schools to lose enrollment, forcing school closures. In the school year 1999-2000, there were just two school basketball co-ops in the entire state. Scobey/Peerless and Flaxville/Outlook. Of those four schools, just one is still in operation. It is now a co-op between Scobey and Opheim. Peerless, Flaxville and Outlook are no more. There are now 104 schools supporting 88 Class...
Earning the title of conference champions was a goal the Scottie volleyball team had been striving to achieve all season. With just one loss on the season, the girls were indeed crowned champions and headed into the District 2-B Tournament with a first place seed. Their first opponent was Wolf Point, a tough team that always puts the Scotties to the test in a long, tough contest – and this meeting was no exception. The ever-strong Wolves battled and almost won the match in four games before the...
It was a chilly and windy day at Scottie Field on Saturday. Hopes and expectations were high among both teams hoping to continue their playoff run. The Huntley Project Red Devils traveled to town to take on the Glasgow Scotties. With the bleachers nearly full, the two teams took the field. In the first quarter the Scotties got on the scoreboard when QB Jason Thibault followed his strong offensive line to surge across the goal line for a 1 yard TD. The PAT kick by Valentin Robert was good, which...
The Wildfire played hard and fought hard for every point in the district tournament, but they just weren’t in sync and had peaked a month early. It was a joy to watch these young ladies go through the season with their great athleticism and zeal. Coach Kathy Siroky brought them a long way this season. She didn’t have a real answer for the way it ended, as none of the fans did either. It just is what it is. The best team does not always win. A good start in the early season gave the Hinsdale/Saco Wildfire a good push into October, and in thi...
The Glasgow High School Speech and Drama Team competed in the first meet of its season on Saturday in Sidney and came home with a first place Class B drama trophy. Thirteen schools participated in this meet with Glasgow edging out Huntley Project and Baker to take first. The GHS Speech team placed third. “Experience showed, as two four-year seniors both came home with first place medals,” coach Sharon LaBonty said. Kylie Cook placed first in Serious Solo and Sija Laffin took first in Serious Oral Interpretation of Literature. Individual pla...
The Glasgow Scottie girls cross country team won its fourth consecutive state title with a commanding performance Saturday – minus their top runner all season, Josie Braaten. Rachael Zeiger crossed the finish line first for the Scotties with a time of 20:06, followed by Amanda Wolff in 10th place with a time of 20:13. Both girls qualified for All-State with those finishing times. You must be in the top 15 to be All-State. Emma Fewer for the Scotties crossed the finish line in 16th place, with h...
The Scottie volleyball teams wrapped up its final two matches of the regular season with big wins from all three teams. The season itself hasn't come to an end, though. You can catch the Scotties in action at 3 p.m. Friday in Wolf Point as it takes on the winner of the Poplar-Wolf Point match during the 2-B District Tournament. The Scotties are the top seed. On Saturday, neither the drive to Glendive, nor the fact that it was their senior night, nor the huge crowd that packed the Red Devil...
It was a beautiful Friday night in Conrad for the Glasgow Scotties’ final regular season game. With anticipation in the air, the Scotties took the field ready to play hard and finish out the regular season strong. Although this game was non-conference and the Scotties’ playoff position was already secured, the players were still anxious to perform well and win one more game. That they did. The Scotties won, 35-22. With quarterback Jason Thibault and two other offensive linemen sitting this game out, the Scotties had to rely on their vet...
