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... Full story
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.

Kylie Cook placed first in Serious Solo and Sija Laffin took first in Serious Oral Interpretation of Literature. Individual pla...

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.

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...

Coaches love it when they see flashes of athleticism and fine play. Stuff like that really sparks a team and keeps the energy flowing. For the Scottie volleyball team, those flashes are lasting longer each time they hit the floor. Stunning hitting supported by outstanding setting choices, remarkable passing and incredible defense led the girls to a five-game victory over a very tough Plentywood team, 18-25, 25-14, 25-21, 19-25, 15-13. “I am so proud of our team. They truly played for each o...
Last Friday night the Scotties traveled to Plentywood to play the Wildcats for an important game. At stake was the District 2B Conference title and the first and second conference seeds for the upcoming playoffs. The winner (first place team) would host the first two rounds of the playoffs and the state championship game, provided they won all their contests. However, the loser of the game would basically be on the road for the entire playoff scenario. The Scotties have had a tough time earning...
Figures compiled from the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Region 6 game check station outside Havre for the weekends of Oct. 12-13 and Oct. 19-20 show reduced hunter numbers overall, but increased harvest of some upland birds and waterfowl. “Over the first two weekends of the season, harvest for most species has been down,” said Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Havre-area Wildlife Biologist Scott Hemmer. “Antelope numbers and licenses have remained low since the winter of 2010-11, and this fact...
Gonzaga Women’s Rowing made the cut to participate in the prestigious 49th annual Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston this past weekend and Glasgow’s own Devyn Bell was there. The Zags came in eighth and were up against 20 top teams from around the country, including two Olympic National Teams. Bell is a 2012 graduate of Glasgow High School and has been rowing for Gonzaga this past year, working her way up to a varsity spot and was one of only five young women invited to Boston. Their boat had four rowers and a coxswain, though Devyn usu...
This past weekend Wolf Point came to town to take on the Glasgow Scotties. Not only was it Senior Night for the Scottie cheerleaders, football players, cross country runners and football managers, but it was also a night Glasgow pummeled the Wolves, 58-6, and continued its winning ways. “The main concern I had going into the game after such a convincing win over the Malta Mustangs was continuing to have sharp execution for passing, staying mentally focused, and not to be sloppy in any parts of the game,” head coach Greg Liebelt said. The Sco... Full story
Glasgow girls' varsity cross country team took first in Miles City with a score of 62 and the boys would come away with a score of 186. “With one meet to go before the state meet, I still don’t know who our seven guys and seven girls will be for the state meet,” coach Rod Karst said. Amanda Wolff said, “It was a great weekend for mostly everyone, a lot of the boys got faster times and a couple of the girls too.” Josie Braaten won first place again with a time of 18:45, followed by Rachael Z...
The Glasgow Scottie volleyball girls came away with two more wins in the past week to boost their conference standings to 6-1.

The Scottie volleyball teams traveled to Malta last Thursday, and all three teams came home victorious. The coaches were obviously pleased with the outcome. Varsity coach Lori Dailey said she was particularly proud of what a “solid team effort” her girls put together, especially on the road. “Malta always has a good, rowdy crowd that can force at least a few mental errors each match,” she said. “We were just able to maintain a level of scrappiness that led to a nice win.” The Scottie’s prevailed, beating Malta 25-22, 25-14, 25-16. Saturd...
The Glasgow Scottie football team came out of the gates on fire last Friday night against their 2B conference rivals, the Malta Mustangs, and cruised to a decisive 38-6 victory. The Scotties – stocked with key players from Glasgow, Nashua and Hinsdale this season – had their foot on the gas pedal in the first half to build a 35-0 lead and start a “running clock” before halftime.
