  • Play Ball!

    J. Levi Burnfin, Courier Sports|May 15, 2013

    The B-Team Glasgow Reds christened the season on Sunday in Sidney, splitting a pair of games with the Patriots. With a dozen new kids in legion this year, there was bound to be some bumps and bruises early, according to Head Coach Jack Sprague, such as losing command of the strike zone for the pitchers. Reds pitchers walked 11 batters in 13 innings of work split between the two contests. But there were many positives, as well. “We did a lot of things right, there’s a lot of things to get bet...

  • If You Care, Leave Them There

    May 15, 2013

    Every spring Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks issues its traditional message to Montanans to leave new born fawns and other infant wildlife where people find them. "If you care, leave them there" said Jeff Hagener, director of Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks in Helena. "It is the best thing to do for young wildlife, because more times than not, the mother is nearby." Hagener said wild animals commonly cache their young for periods of time to protect them from predators while the adults are feeding. "Keeping dogs on a leash or otherwise under your...

  • Bailey Reservoir – A Day of Celebration

    May 15, 2013

    On Saturday, May 18th, the public is invited to a day of celebration at the newly established Bailey Reservoir Fishing Access Site. Bailey Reservoir is located 25 miles west of Havre on the South Kremlin county road. This event will be a way to recognize and properly thank the Bailey family and the several partners involved that secured access for future generations to this important ‘Hi-line’ reservoir. In September of last year, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) acquired a portion of the privately owned Bailey Reservoir in order to dev...

    A new advisory council appointed by Gov. Steve Bullock to develop measures to conserve Montana's sage grouse populations and sustain related land uses is set to meet in Helena, May 21-23. "The council will lead the effort to develop and carry out management options to ensure sage grouse are maintained as an integral part of Montana's wildlife heritage while still allowing other managed uses of the land," said Jeff Hagener, director of Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks. The group's first meeting is set to begin at 9 a.m. on May 21, and continue...

  • Home Sweet Home

    J. Levi Burnfin, Courier Sports|May 8, 2013

    Finally playing in front of their town, friends and family, the Glasgow softball team put on a powerful display with an 18-15 win over Sidney on Tuesday. Hundreds came out to see their dominant Scottie girls take on the Lady Eagles after several previous cancellations put any chance of a home contest in doubt. So when the Scottie girls were finally able to play at Sullivan Field, they were thrilled. “They’ve been waiting for this all year,” said Head Coach Mark Falcon. “It’s good to have such...

  • Course Management 101

    J. Levi Burnfin, Courier Sports|May 8, 2013

    Knowing when to lay up and when to go for the green may be the difference between a drive home and a trip to Bigfork in two weeks for the Scotties. Malta’s course is rife with hazards that force golfers to choose between laying up or shooting for the perfect shot and the low score. But if they don’t make it, snowmen, or worse, may be all too prevalent on a scorecard. Course management has been the Achilles heel of the Scottie golfers so far this season, including the past weekend in Harlem on...

  • Districts Next For Track

    J. Levi Burnfin, Courier Sports|May 8, 2013

    With the track postseason fast approaching, Scottie coach John LaBonty wants his athletes to take a break. “Right now, we need to rest a little bit,” he said. “We’re a little beat up.” The Scotties’ season started slowly with cancellations and relocated/rescheduled meets constantly shifting their schedule. Recently, however, it’s been a steady stream of competition, including three meets in eight days, starting in Glendive on April 26-27 through the Top Ten on May 1 and then Wolf Point on Satu...

  • Farrell Honored At Top Ten

    J. Levi Burnfin, Courier Sports|May 8, 2013

    Hundreds of athletes, coaches, parents and fans traversed the Scottie track on Saturday in the slowest lap in Top Ten history. But It was also one of the most important. The lap was honoring long-time Scottie track coach Bob Farrell, who died in April. Farrell was the originator of the Top Ten meet format in Glasgow, a format that has been duplicated throughout the state. This was the first meet without Farrell in attendance in some form. “The lap meant a lot,” said Head Coach John LaBonty. “I...

  • Reds Open Season On The B-Side

    J. Levi Burnfin, Courier Sports|May 8, 2013

    Last season, the Reds had 14 players on their roster. This year, with an influx of 16-year olds, the Reds have well over 20 players ready to go, enough to give the Reds enough players to roster an A-Team and a B-Team, with a few players on both rosters. American Legion rules allow only 18 players on a postseason roster, and that roster must be set on June 1, giving the Reds very little time to come to a conclusion. The first step towards completing that roster is on Sunday, as the B-team will...

  • Meeting Scheduled On Watermilfoil In Ft. Peck Lake

    May 8, 2013

    Several agencies are teaming up to offer a public information meeting on controlling Eurasian watermilfoil in Fort Peck Lake. The meeting is Friday, May 24, from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Fort Peck Interpretive Center. Eurasian watermilfoil is an aquatic invasive plant that has recently been discovered growing in parts of the lake. Its delicate ferny strands grow in thick mats that choke out other aquatic vegetation and interfere with boating and swimming. It is usually introduced to a new lake by accident when tiny bits are brought from infested bodi...

    The Montana Wilderness Society is in its 51st year of offering wilderness walks to places of special scenic interest across the state. Two of these walks are in the Glasgow area. The walks, guided by experienced outdoor people, are free, but the group number is limited and registration is required.

Contact Neil Philip, 406-535-6586, nei...

  • Softball Wraps Up Conference

    J. Levi Burnfin, Courier Sports|May 1, 2013

    On April 18, Scottie softball had not played a single game in conference. Eight days later, they had swept their seven counterparts in the Eastern B Division and earned the top seed in the divisional tournament. They started with a four-game sweep of Colstrip, Stillwater, Huntley Project and Shepherd on April 19 and 20, and then tore through Cut Bank, Shelby and Conrad at the Conrad Invitational for the final three conference games of the season. For good measure, the Scottie girls then dispatch...

  • Driving Home

    J. Levi Burnfin, Courier Sports|May 1, 2013

    A patented Tiger Woods fist pump finished Luke Gunderson’s day at the windy but sunny and warm Sunnyside Golf Course on Saturday. Standing over a long putt to finish off a team-low round, Gunderson knew that sinking the putt would help take the sting out of a bad start to his day, a four-putt on the first hole of his round. He only needed one putt this time to end his day with an 86, good enough for fourth overall and best on his team to lead the Scotties to the top team score. “We had a goo...

  • Lady Tracksters Continue Roll

    J. Levi Burnfin, Courier Sports|May 1, 2013

    The Scottie girl tracksters are looking like a runaway favorite for divisionals. The Glasgow girls have won three meets in a row, their most recent a 128-point affair over nine other teams, including four Class A squads, in Glendive on Friday and Saturday. “Right now, our distance kids are doing really well and our hurdlers are doing really well,” said Head Coach John LaBonty. It was the distance runs and the hurdles that carried the Scottie girls to the top spot in Glendive, accumulating 70...

  • Scottie Boys' Track Still Experimenting

    J. Levi Burnfin, Courier Sports|May 1, 2013

    With the district tournament coming quickly, the Scotties are still searching for the right mixture. The Scotties were able to place fourth in Glendive on Friday and Saturday, beating out Class A’s Sidney and Hardin and seven other schools, but falling short of Glendive, Miles City and Culbertson. That’s the second-straight meet the Scotties have finished in the top four. And it’s also the second-straight meet that personal records fell in bunches – 16 PRs were broken by the Scotties in Glendiv...

  • Porcupines Play Host In Wolf Point

    J. Levi Burnfin, Courier Sports|May 1, 2013

    As Nashua hosted their meet in Wolf Point, it was a Lady Raider who stole the show. Staying true to Hinsdale’s moniker, Bethany Lacock raided the Porcupine Invitational for 40 individual points, the meet high, carrying the Lady Raiders to a sixth-place finish on Saturday, the best of any Valley County girls’ squad. Lacock scored four golds, taking the top spot in the 300-meter hurdles, pole vault, high jump and triple jump. Lacock finished in 52.7 seconds in the hurdles, vaulted 7- 0 in the pole...

    Janet Bailey, Courier Correspondent|May 1, 2013

    The high-school track team competed in the Porcupine Invitational in Wolf Point on Saturday. Emalee Fry placed fourth in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 20.2 seconds. She also competed in the long jump. Ashley Carroll competed in the long jump, discus, and 200. Kent Nelson competed in the shot put.
