The stage is set and the biggest game of the NFL season is finally upon us. The fan bases of the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks have been celebrating like no other since their teams clinched spots in Super Bowl XLVIII on Jan. 19. They shouldn’t be the only ones celebrating. Everyone that watches football, even the casual fan, should be excited about this. Why? Because this Super Bowl sees Peyton Manning return to the bright lights, some that never thought would happen again after his neck problems at the end of his stint in I...
When the Valley Event Center was constructed years ago, the main reason behind it was to give kids with the passion to play hockey a legitimate place to play. That idea continues to pay dividends as three of Glasgow's own, Harley Eliason, Ryan Padden and Connor Simensen, were selected to play on the Bozeman Ice Dogs U18 Tier II team this year. Eliason, Glasgow's brick wall of a goaltender that deflects opponents shots on goal in the same manner that one would swat flies, said he was excited...
It was a matchup talked about all day around Glasgow. The day had finally come and many in the community saw this as a measuring stick in seeing just how good the Glasgow boys basketball team is. Especially when the stick was that of two-time defending state champ Malta. As the final buzzer sounded, jubilation filled the Glasgow gym as what was once assumed now became proven: Glasgow is the team to beat. The Scotties withstood a tough challenge from Malta, but it was the Scotties that reigned...
On paper it wasn't supposed to be close. That's not a knock to the effort that Glasgow girls basketball head coach Emilee Morehouse expects from her team each and every time her squad takes the court, but they were squaring off against an undefeated Malta squad. A Malta squad that has seemingly run circles around its competition thus far. Friday night proved to be a tough challenge for Malta as Glasgow showed a fire and intensity that even caught Morehouse by surprise at the end of the game....
The Glasgow High School Speech & Drama team competed at the Huntley Project Invitational Meet on Saturday. There were 26 schools competing at this meet with over 350 students participating. Coach John LaBonty said, “A meet this size is a good tune-up for Divisionals and State. We were real proud of how our kids did.” The highlight of the meet was Glasgow’s two pantomime competitors. They ended the day tied but due to a tie breaking system, freshman Machaela Cathy took first place with her piece entitled “First Day on the Job”. Senior Bridger S...

The Glasgow U19 Ice Dawgs escaped with a couple of nail biting wins over the weekend against Bottineau, but couldn't close out the hat trick on Sunday as Glasgow lost to Crosby 5-1. Both games against Bottineau went down to the wire. The first game Saturday afternoon saw both teams trade puck possession and hits throughout. Ice Dawgs goalie Autumn Gault had her share of work to cleanup around the crease, but did the job like she usually does. Late in the game, Glasgow's Carley Wesley found the...
The Scotties boys basketball team has faced few challenges in the season so far. Storming out to an 8-0 overall record that includes a 3-0 mark in conference play, Glasgow head coach Norm Braaten realizes that the toughest challenge for his team comes this week as the Scotties square off against Malta. "It's going to be interesting to see the matchups on the court against Malta," Braaten said. "We're going to have to find out what matchups are in our favor and use them." Malta is tied with...

Glasgow wrestling enjoyed a nice winter break, but the break is just about over as the team heads back into the gym to prepare for its match against Malta on Jan. 2. Scotties head coach Trevor Newman says that the season so far has included a lot of learning and getting in proper shape.

Still searching for their first win of the season, the Glasgow girls basketball team is using the winter break to improve their play on the court as the second half of the season approaches. "We are focusing a lot on defense right now," said Scotties head coach Emilee Morehouse. "We are going to perfect our defense before we get into any of our offense." The Scotties will also throw in a couple of new schemes on the offensive and defensive side of the ball that Morehouse hopes to incorporate...

Glasgow boys basketball head coach Norm Braaten allowed his team a little time to rest at the beginning of the winter break. Business picked up as usual after Christmas as his squad returned to the practice court on Thursday to prepare for the second half of the season that starts on the road against Glendive. When the Scotties do return to the court, it will be without Jake Kolstad, who will be shut down for at least a week with back problems. “He kind of aggravates it with anything we do,” Braaten said. The first game out of the break for Gla...

Wesen and Wesley have faired just as well, accumulating 6 goals and 9 assists between them over the same period. Autumn Gault continues her hot year in the crease f...
I have always been fascinated with sports. It started at an early age. According to my mother, I was picking up bats and balls by the age of 3 and trying to play with kids who were years older than myself. At the age of 6, my dad took me to my first baseball game in San Francisco. From that moment on, I was sold into having sports being a part of my life in some shape or form. As I grew older and realized like many others, that playing anything professional was out of the question, I began to discover that writing about it was not. That...
The Scottie boys basketball team appears to be firing on all cylinders, but the torrid pace that they've been on may come to a screeching halt. Not by an opponent waiting on their schedule, but lack thereof. Glasgow enters winter break and won't have another game until Jan. 3. Closing out their remaining two games before hitting the break, Glasgow hosted Sidney Friday night. Sidney proved to be a formidable challenge for the Scotties. Glasgow went into halftime only leading by four. To make...
