  • Car show helps CFVH residents

    Justin Harris|Sep 13, 2018

    When people reach the golden years, a little nostalgia goes a long way. For long-term care residents at Clark Fork Valley Hospital (CFVH), sprucing up their surroundings to make life more comfortable or aesthetically pleasing with vintage interior design is a bright spot for many. And attending a car show featuring classic cars and unique vehicles can be an entertaining way to walk down memory lane. CFVH was the location of the 3rd Annual Wild Horse Plains Car and Bike Show on Saturday, Sept. 8....

  • Hornets escape Noxon with 32-27 win

    John Hamilton|Sep 13, 2018

    NOXON – It was a great game to win for White Sulphur Springs but a very tough one to lose for the Noxon Red Devils. The visiting Hornets from White Sulphur Springs scored an improbable win over the Devils at Jenny Lampshire Memorial Field in Noxon Friday night, scoring nine points in the last three minutes of play to pull out a 32-27 victory and stay in control of the Western C 6-Man playoff race. Now 1-1 in Western C action, Bart Haflich and his Devils face another crucial game this week w...

  • Lady Hawks outlast Lady Copperheads

    John Hamilton|Sep 13, 2018

    The more the Lady Hawks play together, the better they get. And that should be a scary thought for the rest of the volleyball teams in the Western B division. The young Lady Hawks split a pair of home matches with Western B teams last week, falling 18-25, 15-25, 25-23, 25-15, 15-4 to Deer Lodge Thursday and scrapping past Anaconda 20-25, 32-30, 25-15, 19-25, 15-13 Saturday. Coach Sandra Kazmierczak and her Lady Hawks will play their first District 7B conference match of the season at Eureka Satu...

  • Hawks run at Rebecca Farm

    John Hamilton|Sep 13, 2018

    It was hot and windy but the course was grassy with gradual hills; all in all, a pretty good tradeoff for cross country running. Fighting off the effects of the heat and running through the wind, the Thompson Falls cross country team had a great day at the Kalispell Invitational run on the grounds of the scenic Rebecca Farm horse-jumping facility Friday in the varsity, junior varsity and junior high races. Highlighting the high school varsity's efforts, Josey Neesvig won tenth place in the...

The Trotters now have a busy week on tap, after visiting St. Regis Tuesday (results of that match were not available), the Plains girls will host Clark Fork Thursday, play Darby and Victor in Victor Saturday, and will host Thompson Falls next Tuesday. Against Charlo, Rachel Huenink hit six kills and blocked eight shots to lead the Trotters at the...

  • Tigers claw past injured Horsemen

    John Hamilton|Sep 13, 2018

    This one could go down as the one that got away from the Horsemen. Expecting to play the Tigers in Darby Saturday in another competitive Western C football game, the Plains Horsemen instead came out flat, had two of their key players get injured early on and were surprised by the homestanding Tigers 54-6. Now 1-2 in Western C 8-Man action, coach Eddie Fultz and his wounded Horsemen host 3-0 Arlee in a must-win kind of a situation this Friday. “It will really be an uphill climb to get in the playoffs if we lose this game,” Fultz said. “I hate...

  • Lions lasso Blue Hawks

    John Hamilton|Sep 13, 2018

    The Eureka Lions, the two-time defending State B champions, have a habit of winning football games. The visiting Lions were true to form Friday night at Previs Field, fighting through a tough first quarter to go on to defeat the Thompson Falls Blue Hawks 51-6. Coach Jared Koskela’s Hawks played well in the first part of the game, but concussion injuries to starting center Brad Lantz and running back Nate Wilhite in the first half thinned the ranks of available players and eventually led to Eureka pulling away and winning. “We went all in in the...

  • Always young Hill gang plays away

    John Hamilton|Sep 13, 2018

    If you can’t beat ‘em, why not join ‘em? Always looking for new blood, the Over the Hill golfing gang engaged in another day of fun play Monday morning at River’s Bend as 33 league members, plus two visiting pros, were canvassing the course this time around the Bend. Mike Gilmore had the best scratch round of the day for the men with the low gross of 37 and Sam Burt factored in his handicap to arrive at the low men’s net of 27. Liz Morkert carded the low women’s net of 33. In pin play, visiting pro Bill Nolen was closest to the flag in 2 o...

  • Heat whip Wolverines; key game at Noxon Friday

    John Hamilton|Sep 13, 2018

    The big games just keep coming, and we’re not even halfway through September yet. The Hot Springs Savage Heat, fresh off a 50-18 win over previously unbeaten West Yellowstone in Hot Springs Friday, face another game with Western C playoff implications this Friday as they go on the road to take on Noxon. Now 2-1 overall and 1-1 in Western C action, the Heat will try to get past the Noxon Red Devils, who fell 32-27 to White Sulphur Springs in Noxon Friday (see other story), one week after the Heat lost to White Sulphur 20-18 on the road. The D...
