Seeming to get stronger every inning, the Thompson Falls-Noxon Blue Hawks erased an early deficit and moved to an 11-6 win over the rival Plains-Hot Springs Trotters in season-opening softball action in Thompson Falls March 30. Encouraged by his team’s grit and determination in the face of an opponent they have struggled mightily with over the years in Plains-Hot Springs, coach Jared Koskela gave his team credit for a job well done. “It’s been a while since Thompson Falls has beaten Plains,” Kos...
Kind of like wiping the slate clean and starting out from scratch. A year after COVID-19 did its cancel culture number on U.S. sports, including here in Montana, the spring of 2021 is much more to the average fan’s liking, with plenty of local action to enjoy – from a socially distant perspective, of course.

"We were patient at the plate, had some really good at-bats. We just didn't string enough...
The ups and downs of early-season track and field competition. Coach Trenna Ferris took her Thompson Falls track and field teams to Bigfork Saturday and the girls finished fourth in team scoring and the Hawk boys seventh in the big early-season meet from Bigfork's scenic field overlooking Flathead Lake. "We had some ups and downs but overall an exceptional day," she said. "When we go out and compete amongst all classes and still place – it's a good day!" Having one of the best days of all, s...
