Thompson Falls author and historian Carl Haywood has released his fourth book, titled Blackfeet, Blood, and Beaver. This is a historical, fur-trade novel about the 1809-1810 hunting and trading season, when American fur traders were expanding their trade into the Louisiana Territory. The story centers around 19-year-old George Morris, a Missouri farm boy who decides to learn more about those faraway places outside the family homestead on Logan Creek, near the settlement of Ellington. Convincing...
The Hawks were tested but eventually came through with blue and gold flying colors. Led by their salty group of seniors making their final regular season appearance ever on hallowed Previs Field, the Thompson Falls Blue Hawks improved to 8-0 with a 22-0 win over the Charlo Vikings Friday night under the lights. The victory clinched no worse than the No. 2 seed from the Western Division for the unbeaten Blue Hawks, who were ranked No. 3 in Montana among all 8-Man teams in the most recent power...
Winter sports will have to wait a little longer in 2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, Montana prep sports will have to wait until 2021, a year everyone is undoubtedly looking forward to after hopefully surviving the historic 365 days of 2020. Due to a decision last week by the Montana High School Association executive board, high school winter sports will not be contested until calendar year 2021. Originally set to begin November 19, winter sports will now begin practice on December 7, with actual competition slated to begin in J...
Consider 2020 the year of socially distant distance running, and it will all come to an end at the Montana All-Class Cross Country Meet at Rebecca Farms in Kalispell Friday. Although the race format was not certain at press time, the Class B girls will run at 2 p.m., followed bu the Class B boys at 3. Already off for two weeks and just out of quarantine due to a team member testing positive for COVID-19, coach Sarah Naegeli says her Hawks have been diligent about continuing to run in spite of...
Poetry in motion. Watching the Lady Hawk volleyball team this season is kind of like watching poetry in motion, every single move seems to be well-thought out and finished with a flourish. Playing poetically perfect volleyball twice more last week, the Lady Hawks swept to a 25-10, 25-17, 26-24 win over Mission in St. Ignatius Thursday and to a 25-14, 25-16, 25-16 win over the visiting Bigfork Vals in Thompson Falls Saturday. Hosting the District 7B tournament October 29-30, the Lady Hawks will...
The Noxon Red Devils are scheduled to play the Harlowtown-Ryegate Engineers in Harlowtown Friday night in the first round of the Montana 6-Man football playoffs. Whether coach Bart Haflich and his Red Devils make that trip was largely up in the air Monday afternoon as Noxon schools were set to shut down for three days beginning Tuesday due to one or possibly two positive COVID-19 cases. School officials said remote learning would be held for at least three days before any further decisions will...
Known for high-scoring games with lots of offense, Montana 6-Man football is still a game usually decided by which team has the better defense. Hoping his Savage Heat have the correct mix of offense and defense, coach Jim Lawson and his 3-1 team, as the No. 2 seed out of the west, will host the 5-1 Bridger Scouts, the No. 2 team out of the south. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. Saturday in the Spa City. “I often think that holding a team to 20 or 25 points is a good defensive effort in the 6-Man game,” Lawson said. “If you are able to do that, you a...
The undermanned Horsemen didn't have the horses to hang with the Mountain Cats. Down four Horsemen due to COVID-19 quarantine protocols, the Plains football team lost 46-0 to Clark Fork in Superior in 8-Man action Saturday. Plains coach Eddie Fultz knew the Horsemen could be in trouble when he was able to suit up only 12 players in Superior, a group he called "three seniors and a bunch of freshmen." "We went in with only 12 players, so I knew we would have the deck stacked against us," he said....
