Games were designed so that both experienced and inexperienced golfers...

The girls earned an impressive third place with 112 points behind two AA teams, Billings West (70) and Billings Senior (74).

The Scotties volleyball team came home from the two-day Chinook Invitational with a third-place finish after winning the consolation finals over Simms, 2-0. Shelby took the trophy home after defeating Cut Bank, 25-23, 25-24. The Scotties had a hard time getting into the tournament, according to coach Lori Dailey. The team only won one game on Friday and the coach had to gather her players and have a motivational talk with them. “Friday was dismal and was not our best performance,” Dailey said. “We talked about it for an hour, deciding to not dw...

After having fought the last five miles or so of road destruction coming into Culbertson, the Hinsdale/Saco (H/S) contingent finally reached the home of the Bainville Bulldogs and got settled in for an afternoon/evening of very fine and entertaining volleyball. There were junior high, JV and varsity matches, so go grab a root beer from the fridge, turn up the volume and settle back to enjoy some v-ball. Watching the junior high girls, I was very pleased to see that the volleyball program will be solid for yet another six years or so. There is s...

After a less than stellar performance in pool play, losing to Chinook in a close match and getting fully annihilated by Plentywood, the Wildfire went two and two and won a berth in bracket play at the Malta Invitational Volleyball Tourney last Saturday, August 30 in Malta. With every game, the ladies from Hinsdale/Saco (H/S) seemed to gather strength from each other and get stronger as the grueling day progressed. Remember friends, their first match was at 9 a.m. and the championship game wasn’t decided until about 7:30 that night. After knocki...
The Glasgow Junior High cross country team participated in the Poplar meet on Saturday, August 31. The boys finished first with 42 points, followed by Poplar (55), and Wolf Point (63).

Hello everyone! As your new sports editor, I am really excited to be here and can’t wait to cover such a strong and vivid sports community. If my name doesn’t sound English to you, that’s because it’s French! I was born in the south of France and arrived in the U.S. in 2010 to study journalism. I obtained my Multimedia Journalism degree from Simpson College, Iowa, in 2012 and got my first job in Southern Texas. How did I end up in Glasgow, you might ask? Well, life is full of surprises, and one such surprise hit me when I was offered the opp...

The first annual Larry Leddige Memorial Dart Tournament was held Aug. 16-17 at The Cottonwood in Glasgow. This event is named for dart player Larry Leddige, who passed away in May 2013. Larry was a great guy who loved his family and friends and also enjoyed his darts. This tournament is a benefit tournament, and organizers use the proceeds to give a little help to people with medical costs. It may not be much, but they hope people realize there are others out there willing to help. This year the...

Depending on the species and hunting district, some licenses were available only by special drawing. For details on legal archery equipment and the...
Mostly the same faces but a new name and colors have been added to the list of teams for the upcoming District 1C volleyball season. The team formerly known as the Saco/Hinsdale Panthers has now become, by virtue of a team vote, the Hinsdale/Saco Wildfire. In this writer’s opinion, this is a good move for all concerned. Much like the MonDak Thunder: two towns merging to form one team as did Westby/Grenora. Others include Froid/Medicine Lake Red Hawks, Scobey/Opheim (stayed same as the Spartans) and Richey/Lambert Fusion. I fear that the next 5...

A dangerous chokepoint that migrating antelope encountered each year just west of Nashua now has one less hazard the animals will have to contend with. Old woven-wire and barbed wire fencing strung for about a mile along U.S. Highway 2 has long served as a potential barrier for pronghorn and other wildlife trying to cross the busy road and get over an adjacent set of Burlington Northern-Santa Fe train tracks. In fact, ground on both sides of the old fence – which was removed by a Montana F...
Jason Mitchell of the outdoor program Jason Mitchell Outdoors recently filmed a fishing segment on Fort Peck Lake. The show will highlight the trophy walleye fishing that make the lake famous.

Mitchell fished during the production with Glasgow angler Ken Schmidt. "Ken...
