The weather cooperated and it turned out to be a busy last week for the Havre High softball team.

The best of Montana high school basketball took center stage at the Armory Gymnasium in Havre last weekend for the 39th Annual Hi-Line Invitational Tournament. The annual all-star event has long been a staple of the Hi-Line, beginning in Malta before making its home at MSU-Northern in Havre.

Class C claim...

The 2026 high school basketball season is in the books, and spring sports are underway. But spring also means awards season for basketball, and many Chinook and Harlem athletes were honored this past week. After reaching the Class B state championship game two weeks ago, a pair of Harlem boys basketball players earned Class B All-State honors in Latham Black Wolf and Cody McCabe.

The Harlem Wildcats made plenty of history in 2026. But on Saturday night in Bozeman, they were trying to add one more piece of history to the season - the program's first Class B boys basketball state championship in 24 years. Lodge Grass had other ideas however. In front off a sold-out Brick Breeden Fieldhouse, Lodge Grass ran away from Harlem in the Class B boys championship game, in a 69-48 win. The Lodge Grass victory capped a perfect 26-0 season, and the Indians avenged a loss to Harlem...
It was an incredible season for the Turner girls basketball team. Not only did the Tornadoes win the District 9C regular season title, but, they hoisted their first 9C championship trophy in four decades last month at the Havre High gymnasium. That win also pushed Turner into the Northern C in Great Falls, where the Tornaodoes have been a few times in the last 10 years. There, Turner played well, though the Tornadoes didn't quite make it to the state tournament. Still, it was a great year for th...
As the high school basketball postseason rolls on, things are supposed to get tougher. That doesn't seem to be the case for the Harlem boys basketball team, however. After battling to a District 2B title two weeks ago, the Wildcats had their eyes on the top prize at the Northern B Divisional Tournament last weekend in Shelby. Only the Wildcats didn't likely expect to win the tournament in the fashion they did. The Northern B is always one of the premier tournaments in the postseason, but Harlem...
What a performance by the Harlem boys basketball team. Last weekend in Malta, the Wildcats not only won the District 2B championship, they steamrolled their way to the title, including a blowout win over the host Malta Mustangs in the championship game. With the 2B title in hand, Harlem will be considered a big favorite at the Northern B boys tournament in Shelby. In the championship game, Harlem crushed top-seeded Malta 69-39, as the Wildcats went on a 13-0 run in the second quarter and never...
The Northern C is always exciting. It's also highly challenging, and the upstart Turner girls found that out last week in Great Falls. After winning the 9C tournament two weeks ago, Turner opened the Northern C by staying on a hot streak as the Tornadoes thrashed Power-Dutton-Brady 48-28 at the Four Seasons Arena. Bridget Reed led four players in double figures for Turner with 15 points as the Tornadoes advanced to the semifinals. There, however, Turner ran into the Belt Huskies, and Belt...
The postseason didn't go quite how either Chinook basketball team hoped it would. Instead, the first week of the hoops postseason was the end of the line for both the Chinook boys and girls teams. Last weekend in Cut Bank, the Chinook boys went 1-2 and came up one victory shy of reaching the divisional tournament. The Sugarbeeters opened the 1B boys tournament with a 59-49 loss to Conrad. The Cowboys led all the way, and while Chinook rallied late, it wasn't enough. Ryan Bell scored 19 points...
The Turner Tornadoes can now call themselves District 9C champions. That's because last Saturday night in Havre, the Tornadoes took care of business. In the District 9C girls championship game, Turner beat Box Elder 47-27 to capture the 9C championship and advance to this weekend's Northern C Divisional Tournament. The Tornadoes came to Havre as the No. 1 seed in the girls tournament, and after a bye in the first round, they dominated rival Hays-Lodge Pole 53-36 in the semifinals last Friday....

What a weekend for the Chinook wrestling teams. At the 2026 All-Class State Wrestling Tournament last weekend in Billings, the Chinook boys nearly climbed their way to a trophy as the Sugarbeeters scored 82 points to finish fourth in the Class B standings. Chinook's strong finish at the Metra in Billings was aided by an outstanding performance from Charlie Buck at 103 pounds. Buck reached the final of the 103-pound bracket. Buck was pinned by Huntley Project's Brogan Burton in the final, but it...

Last Saturday in Malta, the Chinook boys scored 143 points to place fourth overall at the Eastern B-C Divisional Tournament.

It's finally tournament time on the Hi-Line. And for the Turner Tornadoes and Hays-Lodge Pole Thunderbirds, that means it's time to head to Havre for the annual District 9C boys and girls basketball tournaments. The annual 9C Tournament will run today through Saturday at the Havre High gymnasium, and on the line are not only district championships, but trips to next week's Northern C in Great Falls.

It was a successful senior night for the Chinook boys basketball team, as the Sugarbeeters honored their seniors with a District 1B win over Conrad. Last Friday night in Chinook, the Beeters beat Conrad 49-43 in a great defensive effort by the Beeters. Chinook fell to Choteau in a close battle last Saturday to close out the regular season, as the Beeters couldn’t quite overcome a nine-point fourth-quarter deficit. The weekend split ended Chinook’s regular season with a 7-7 record in the 1B and a 7-11 overall record. Last Friday was also a big...
