Thompson Falls Elementary School has begun offering flag football as an extracurricular after-school activity again. The program started about five years ago, and according to coach Mike Thilmony, was made to help students learn about the game of football at a young age. Thilmony explained that they usually have about a dozen kids show up, and for an hour they are taught the many aspects of football. Students in fourth through sixth grade can show up when they want and learn basic skills of the...
Having been operating for four months now, Limberlost Brewing Company is still floating. "We're doing about what we thought. People are speaking really well about our product," Zach Whipple-Kilmer, who owns the Thompson Falls brewery with his wife Kate. He believes they would sell more beer if they also had food, but he said that is something for down the road. Whipple-Kilmer explained that, for now, they "just want to ride out the winter and maybe look at doing catering, or maybe a food truck"...
In a battle of two undefeated “Hawks,” the Thompson Falls Blue Hawks soundly defeated the Seeley-Swan Blackhawks 62-6 Friday night at Seeley-Swan High School. In a game billed as “the Montana 8-Man game of the week,” by 406mtsports.com, Thompson Falls justified their number two ranking in the state by dominating the first half scoring 50-6. In front of the rowdy Blackhawk Nation crowd, Thompson Falls relied on both sides of the football to jump out to an early 30-0 lead in the first quarter...
Sanders County athletes were among the more than 450 runners to compete at the Thompson Falls Invitational cross country meet last week. Blue skies made for a pleasant competition along the Clark Fork River at River's Bend Golf Course. Thursday's meet was the first competition for the Plains cross country team. Sophomore Peyton Wasson competed in the girls' race, finishing in 29 minutes, 5.97 seconds, and classmate Brenden Vanderwall finished the boys' race in 23:09.62. Thompson Falls Coach...
The Plains Trotters were happy to be back on the court last weekend, playing together for the first time since COVID-19 forced their season to a halt while the school went to remote learning. The team did not practice during the remote learning at Plains High School as well, so Saturday's match against Florence was a welcome return for the Trotters. "Our team is still recovering and we have had to reschedule so many games," said coach Jesse Butcher. "We are seeing growth, but not having that...
The fall soccer season is showing some promise for two local clubs, each claiming victories at the Amundson Sports Complex Thursday evening. Joshua Allday's Clark Fork Soccer Alliance 17-member coed team shutout the Stillwater Christian Cougars 7-0 in the first game of the day. The Cougar high school junior varsity team - all boys - had a 4-1 record prior to their encounter with Allday's team at Plains. Claire Wrobleski and Chesney Lowe, the only two girls on Allday's team, also played on the...
With a 2-0 record in their conference, the Lady Hawks are really soaring. Their game with Arlee Tuesday Sept. 21 ended quickly in three as did their match against Mission last Thursday. "Things are going well," said coach Sandra Kazmierczak. "They play with a lot of excitement and with a lot of passion." Kazmierczak explained that their forward momentum lies in the whole team. "It takes every kid," she said. However, one element to their success lies in their reintroduction of Scarlette...
In a game that felt much closer than the final results, the Hot Springs Savage Heat fell in three sets to Charlo Saturday night, 25-11, 25-19, 25-18. The loss drops the Savage Heat's record to 0-3 on the young season. The Charlo Vikings roared out to a commanding 15-3 lead in the first set before Hot Springs Coach Alisha Pablo called a timeout. Charlo's hot start was powered by high-flying kills from seniors Kassidi Cox and Hayleigh Smith. The Savage Heat responded in a big way after the...

In a high scoring shootout between two conference rivals, Valley Christian (3-2) outlasted Hot Springs 40-36 last Friday at MCPS Stadium on the campus of Big Sky High School in Missoula.

Jack played really hard and ran the ball extremely well,” said Hot Springs head coach Jim Lawson. The Savage Heat also received all...
Max Poelker has joined The Ledger staff as a sports reporter. Poelker grew up in the corn fields of central Illinois playing basketball, football, baseball and golf. He is new to Montana and Sanders County but notices some similarities to his days in Illinois. "My high school had 86 students and our town had one stop light," Poelker said. "We were about as tight knit of a community as you could imagine. Everyone knew everyone and it truly felt like one big family. It's been great to find...
