So last night I witnessed a thrilling college basketball game as the 9th ranked Saints of Carroll College won in three overtimes over the Bears of Rocky 101-97. My thoughts….this game should have never even gone into a single extra period. With Rocky up three and five seconds to be played in regulation, Carroll had […]

Remember the days of the Big 32 when all class “A” and “AA” teams were in just one classification? Well during three of those six years; Libby in 66, Wolf Point in 68, and Laurel in 69, Class “A” teams won it all. That is probably why “AA” schools no longer want to have that […]
The Rustlers of CMR are about to get just their third head football coach in 48 years. Yesterday Gary Lowry resigned after being with the program for 35 seasons. Lowry was an assistant under Jack Johnson for 29 years than the program head coach for the last six. Think just how hard it was to […]
