  • Lady Lions top Hawks in five sets in Eureka

    John Hamilton|Sep 20, 2018

    Net battles won, net battle lost… The Thompson Falls Lady Hawks won their share of battles in a volleyball friendly with Eureka at Lincoln County High School Saturday, but in the end, the Lady Lions won the District 7B war 28-30, 24-26, 25-21, 25-23, 15-12. Lady Hawk coach Sandra Kazmierczak was not disappointed with the result she was, in fact, glad to see her team play a match like that. “It was a very good match, both teams played outstanding volleyball,” she said. “Eureka managed to pull it out in the end but I am happy with how we played....

  • HORSEPOWER!

    John Hamilton|Sep 20, 2018

    When it came right down to it, the Plains Trotters had a little more horsepower. Coach Jesse Butcher's Trotters enjoyed a fine week of play last week, defeating the Clark Fork Mountain Cats 25-21, 25-19, 18-25, 25-20 in Plains Thursday, and then spiking Philipsburg and Victor in Victor Saturday. Scores from the match wins over P-Burg and Victor were not available. The Trotters showed how good they can be in the win over Clark Fork, a co-op team comprised of players from Superior and Alberton....

  • Arlee defeats Savage Heat

    John Hamilton|Sep 20, 2018

    They did not go down without a fight but the Hot Springs Savage Heat fell 26-24, 15-25, 25-11, 23-25, 15-12 to the Arlee Scarlets in Hot Springs Thursday. Freshman phenom Katelyn Christensen led the Savage Heat at the net with 18 kills, four service aces and four blocks, Mckenzie Cannon also hit four blocks, Sydney Jackson dished out 31 assists and Sage Jackson came up with a team-high 27 digs. The Heat were scheduled to visit Charlo Saturday, but results of that match could not be found by press time. Coach Alisha Pablo and her Heat are set...

  • WALKING WOUNDED

    John Hamilton|Sep 20, 2018

    It has been a knockout season for the Blue Hawk football team, and not in a good way. Two more Hawk players were knocked out of action with concussions last week, on top of the two that were already KO’d the week before, as the Bonners Ferry Badgers knocked off the Hawks 33-12 in Bonners Ferry Friday. Now 0-4 overall, and 0-1 in Western B play, coach Jared Koskela and his Hawks could be down as many as five starters for this Friday’s conference game with unbeaten Bigfork. The Vikings, by the way, are coming off a 37-0 road win over Eureka las...

  • Horsemen set to meet powerful Flint Creek Titans

    John Hamilton|Sep 20, 2018

    Sometimes, final scores can be deceptive. Such was the case with Arlee’s 54-24 Western C 8-Man football win over the Horsemen in Plains Friday. “It was back-and-forth most of the way in the first half, it seemed like it could have went either way early on,” Horsemen coach Eddie Fultz said. “I felt pretty good about the game, Arlee is a decent team and we had our chances against them.” Now 1-3 in conference play and overall, the Horsemen face perhaps their toughest test yet this season Friday when they visit the 4-0 Flint Creek Titans in Drummon...

    John Hamilton|Sep 20, 2018

Allen and his boys were to have visited Charlo for a game Tuesday afternoon and will host Mission Saturday at Previs Field at 10 a.m. The Young Hawks scored early and often against Troy. Hayden Hanks started the point barrage for the home boys with a three-yard touchdown run and Elijah Ratliff added the 2-point conversion run. Later on in...

  • Keeping it Green

    Sanders County Recycling Staff|Sep 20, 2018

    DOING WHAT WE CAN Dusti Johnson, MDEQ Materials Management Specialist, believes that communities have a very difficult time managing several different recycling items in their program, and has been quoted as saying, “Just concentrate on one item, and do it well!” Diligent recyclers are passionate about being able to recycle everything possible, and will go to great lengths to keep as much refuse out of the landfill as they can. These dedicated folks are to be commended, and encouraged. Although the markets and transportation costs are kee...
