Over 280 participants ran, walked or biked the Longest Dam Race on Saturday, enjoying near perfect weather at the 19th annual event.

Mel Hoffman, 49, was the first to cross the finish line...

There were close to 10,000 collisions in Glasgow on Saturday. All of them were with malicious purpose as 17 drivers and cars participated in the 80s & Up Demolition Derby at the Glasgow Fairgrounds. With a calcutta immediately preceding the wreckage, and thousands in prize money on the line, the drivers weren’t holding back any steel-crunching punches. Coming out of the twisted ball of metal was Fred Potter, who took the top spot in the finals over second-place finisher and defending champion W...

Glasgow’s bats were red-hot in a five-game tourney in Havre this weekend. The Reds outscored their opponents 66-7, clubbing their way to a sweep of their Northstar Tournament opponents. “Typically, in our program, we throw strikes, we play defense, we try to develop it to play close games because that’s typically the way we have to win,” said Head Coach Jack Sprague. “But the way we swung it this weekend, it was pretty much over early.” The Reds opened the weekend with two games on Friday, thr...

That rumbling you heard on Saturday and Sunday was not an earthquake. It was the ear-shredding grumble of 400-horsepower engines running down a dirt drag strip and through four-foot deep mud.

Glasgow’s Matt Wilfong took first with a time of 6.6 seconds in the stock class. Roy Stroppe was second and Joan...

It didn’t exactly go to plan. The breaks didn’t always go the Scotties’ way. And the weather didn’t play fair.
