  • Horsemen get defensive, ground Blackhawks 36-6

    John Hamilton|Sep 6, 2018

    This one was about taking the defensive side of the field back. The Plains Horsemen defeated the Seeley-Swan Blackhawks 36-6 in Western C football action at Seeley Lake Friday, playing the kind of defense coach Eddie Fultz likes to see his Horsemen play. “We took the defense back, played a lot better on that side than I felt we played the week before against Charlo,” Fultz said. “I thought we were a little timid defensively last week, but really played strong in Seeley.” Fultz said that Seeley-Swan ran a power formation on offense but that th...

  • Hawks run in Big Sky Invitational

    John Hamilton|Sep 6, 2018

    It's called the Big Sky Coaches Invitational, and it's a place where the cross country runners from small schools like Class B Thompson Falls can kind of get lost in the crowd in a sea of Class AA runners. "Placing at this meet is kind of deceptive," Hawk XC coach Sarah Naegeli said. "When you compete against Hellgate, a team with 130 runners, you can run an outstanding race and still be back in the pack. Then add Big Sky and Sentinel and that's a lot of AA runners!" Running notably well in...

  • Savage Heat wise beyond years

    John Hamilton|Sep 6, 2018

    They are a young team but are wise beyond their years. The precocious Hot Springs Lady Savage Heat opened up the 2018 campaign with a pair of District 10C conference wins, knocking off the Sanders County rival Plains Trotters 25-15, 20-25, 25-22, 25-21 in Hot Springs Tuesday and taking St. Regis’s measure 25-14, 25-7, 25-16 in St. Regis Thursday. Now 2-0 in 10C conference play and overall, the Heat were to have hosted Victor in a non-conference match Tuesday, will visit Noxon for a 10C tilt Thursday and will host Valley Christian in another n...

  • Lady Devils edge Trotters

    John Hamilton|Sep 6, 2018

    PLAINS – It could have went either way but, in the end it fell to the Lady Red Devils. Coach Teri Wilkinson's Noxon Lady Red Devils withstood a mid-match swoon and came back to defeat coach Jesse Butcher's Plains Trotters 25-27, 25-15, 12-25, 25-23, 15-9 in District 10C volleyball action in Plains Saturday.

  • Hornets sneak past Heat in key early season game

    John Hamilton|Sep 6, 2018

    Seems awfully early in the season to be talking about the playoffs, but Friday’s game in White Sulphur Springs between the hometown Hornets and the visiting Hot Springs Savage Heat ended up playing out like one. A semifinal team in the State C 6-Man playoffs last fall, the Hornets squeaked out a 20-18 win over the Heat. Now 0-1 in Western C conference action and 1-1 overall, coach Jim Lawson and his Heat will host 2-0 West Yellowstone this Friday night in Hot Springs. Last week’s physical game in White Sulphur Springs left Lawson looking for...
