A YOUNG BULL MOOSE wades in the Clark Fork River near Thompson Falls....
For thousands of communities across the U.S., high school football is a big deal. The whole town comes down to watch, to support their team, to cheer on the players they've watched grow up. Noxon is no exception. However, things look slightly different in Noxon, because the town's 200 residents don't sit down to watch 11 of their players take their places on the field, or even the standard high school eight. As Noxon takes their seats, and the starters are announced, only six young men come...
It's officially unofficial, and Thompson Falls cross country coach Sarah Naegeli likes it that way. The unofficial Western B-C Divisional cross country meet will be held at River's Bend Golf Course west of Thompson Falls Wednesday, Oct. 16. The meet is officially the final one of the season until the Montana All-Class Meet in Great Falls arrives on Oct. 26. Naegeli likes the fact that Thompson Falls will again be hosting the divisional meet, and she also likes the fact that it is not a true...
PLAINS – The Black-and-Blue Game is back. For the first time since 2014 and for the first time possibly ever as 8-Man teams, the Thompson Falls Blue Hawks and Plains Horsemen renewed gridiron acquaintances in Plains Friday night, and the Hawks ended up leaving with a 66-18 win over their sworn rivals. "It's nice to play Plains again," Thompson Falls coach Jared Koskela said, "and it's good to have the Black-and-Blue trophy in play again." The Blue Hawks won the last edition of the Black-and-Blue...
Maybe they should be called the Bash Sisters. If you put the ball in front of them up at the net, they will gladly bash that tri-colored ball right back at you, again and again, until it finally does not come back. And then they will wait patiently, until the next bashing session arrives, and repeat the process. The Thompson Falls Lady Hawks bashed out two more easy District 7B volleyball wins last week, trouncing Troy 25-13, 25-14, 25-13 in Thompson Falls Thursday and traveling to Bigfork...
For real. If there were any doubts before, there aren't anymore – the Hot Springs Savage Heat are a powerhouse team – a for-real deal in the world of Montana 6-Man football. Coach Jim Lawson and his No. 3 ranked Savage Heat were at their 6-Man best Friday night in Hot Springs, turning a highly-anticipated showdown with fellow contender Noxon into a runaway and moving to the 67-28 Western conference win. "We have been waiting for a game like this," Lawson said. "A game against a quality opp...
This is only a test, a test to measure the playoff desires of a certain West End team. Coach Bart Haflich and his Noxon Red Devils have passed a lot of gridiron tests so far this season, many of them in the friendly confines of the West End of Sanders County. Trekking to Park County this week, the Devils will go down to Gardiner Saturday for an important afternoon game with the Elijah Bird-led Bruins. Both teams will enter the battle with 1-1 records in Western 6-Man conference, and both are...
How about a little revenge, served up homecoming style? Coach Eddie Fultz and his Plains Horsemen (2-3 in league play and overall) will host the winless Victor Pirates (0-5, 0-6) in Western 8-Man conference football action under the lights in Plains Friday, and Fultz is hoping for a little homecoming-type revenge. Fultz is glad that it will be the Horsemen’s homecoming game this time around. The memory of a 44-34 loss to these same Victor Pirates, in that school’s homecoming last year, remains burned into his memory. “They beat us last year...
Chalk up two more wins for the Noxon Lady Red Devils. Coach Teri Wilkinson’s Lady Red Devil volleyball team swept past Darby 25-27, 25-22, 22-25, 25-13, 15-10 in Darby Thursday and then returned to Noxon and downed Victor 25-18, 25-15, 25-5 Saturday. In other action this week, the Devils were to have visited Hot Springs Tuesday, but results of that match were not available. Up this coming week, the Lady Devils will host Plains Saturday and visit Charlo Tuesday in a pair of District 14C conference matches. Again nominated for Western Montana P...
Western Montana’s newspaper had it wrong; thankfully, the Hot Springs Savage Heat girls made it right. The Heat’s Saturday night match with Darby was reported as a straight-set loss to the visiting Tigers when it was actually a straight-set win with the Spa City heroines pounding out a 25-12, 25-11, 25-21 victory. “It was actually my fault, I entered the score wrong,” coach Alisha Pablo explained. “I got it corrected on the 406sports site but not in time for the newspaper, but we actually won the match.” Katelyn Christensen was again a big...
Call it the bounce-back effect. Coach Jesse Butcher’s Plains Trotter volleyball team has not lost a match since falling to Sanders County rival Thompson Falls on the road way back on Sept. 17. Since that fateful day in Thompson Falls, the Trotters have bounced back in a big way, defeating Clark Fork, Arlee, Charlo, Lincoln and probably Victor, although results of Saturday’s match in the Bitterrroot could not be found. The win over Lincoln came in Plains Thursday as Emma Morgan led the Trotters at the net with six kills and two blocks. Izzy But...
Coach Lisa Mickelson’s Lady Hawk JV volleyball team swept Troy in three sets at TFHS Thursday. Dani VanHuss hit eight kills to lead the Hawks in that department, Angel Whiting hit eight service aces and Cheyla Irvine four, Caity Alexander stuff blocked two shots, Gracie Claridge had five digs and Julissa Bonney passed out eight set assists. The Lady Hawk JV return to action Saturday hosting Eureka and play at Mission Tuesday....
