The Plains Trotters have quietly been going about their basketball business efficiently this season without a whole lot of fanfare. Now that the tournament season is looming, maybe that scenario is about to change. Coach Eddi Fultz and his Trotters could be about ready to start making some noise. “We’ve been hanging out in third place and playing pretty well all season,” Fultz said. “Our only conference losses have been to the No. 4 and No. 6 Class C teams (Charlo and Hot Springs) in the state, another loss was to the No. 8 Class B team (T...
It will be a senior-less senior night for the Noxon Lady Red Devils in Noxon Saturday. Hosting the Lincoln Lynx in a non-conference game to complete the regular season, coach Cortney Vohs and her Devils will not have any seniors to fete, not this year or anytime soon. “We are a very young team, we don’t have any seniors,” Vohs said. “In fact, we even have a few eighth graders on our team.” The Devils will warm up for their senior-less senior night by visiting Plains for a District 14C conference game with the Trotters Friday. In action la...

When the Blue Hawks boys play bad, they can be had. But when they play well, well you had just better get out of the way. The resurgent Blue Hawks pushed the Eureka Lions right back out of Sanders County Saturday, pounding out an impressive 49-28 win over the visiting Lions at TFHS. The surprisingly convincing win puts the Hawks into better playoff position as District 7B teams jockey for the top three spots. The No. 4 and 5 teams from the regular season will meet in a 7B tournament play-in game...
The Red Devil boys are beginning to believe in their basketball ability. Coach Ryan Weltz and his Red Devils moved to an exciting 55-52 win over Sanders County rival Hot Springs in Hot Springs Friday. Weltz’s son Rylan Weltz did much of the damage for the Devils, scoring a game-high 36 points, sweeping the glass for 16 rebounds, grabbing four steals and passing out three assists. On the other side of the equation, Noxon threw an effective box-and-one defense on Hot Springs’ high-scoring Brandon Knudsen and limited the prolific Savage Heat score...

The Hot Springs Savage Heat are in this fight until the end. Coach Scott Fredrickson and his Savage Heat will be fighting the District 14C war from now until the end of the season, unless they can raise themselves above the fray and go on to fight more wars at the Western C and State C level later on. Fresh off a pair of tough conference losses – the Heat lost 65-53 to Plains in Plains Thursday and 55-52 to Noxon in Noxon Saturday – the Heat have two more 14C contests on tap this week, visiting St. Regis Thursday and closing out the reg...

by Miriah Kardelis Dutch Oven Pot Roast Servings: 4-6 Prep time: 20-25 minutes Cook time: 4 hours A classic pot roast, slowly cooked in a Dutch oven.
