Déjà vu all over again? It's tournament time for the Thompson Falls Lady Hawks and it has a familiar feel to it for those who remember last year.

Coach Sandra Kazmierczak and her Lady Hawks then went on to Bozeman and ended up winning the State B third place trophy, which represents the best finish ever by a Sanders County team at a State volleyball t...

I really did not want to write this column this week about this man. Kenny Marjerrison is someone I got to know through the job of writing local sports and, like every other person that knew anything about him, his loss is a hard one for me to understand right now, let alone put into words. I guess you could describe my fear of doing this – paying my final tribute to a man I grew to like and respect so much – as a form of stage fright. Kind of like freezing up and forgetting your lines on sta...
The Noxon Red Devils may have lost their football playoff game with Grass Range-Winnett but, make no mistake about it, coach Bart Haflich and his Red Devils have now arrived as a football team. Coming back from a brutal 0-4 start to the season that involved hellacious road trips to faraway locales like West Yellowstone and White Sulphur Springs, the Devils regrouped at mid-season and made a mad rush to qualify for the 6-Man playoffs. The Devils won their final four games of the season on the field and added in a forfeit victory to finish the re...
