I want to mention how proud I am of this year's M-ettes. We didn't get the chance to bring home that trophy from State in Butte, but we were in very good position when it all ended. I believe we would have ended up third if this would have played out. This year started off with travel and games throughout the month of June, and learning to play with a different group of girls. When the regular season got underway in November we had eleven freshmen and one foreign exchange student, a total of...
The 2019-20 season for the Mustangs was a real rollercoaster ride type of a season. We started the season against two-time defending state champion Bigfork Vikings at the Coyote Classic in Shelby. Going into that game, the coaching staff did not know what to expect. Our team was young and without a lot of experience as we were starting two seniors, a junior, and two sophomores. The lack of experience did not matter; the Mustangs went out there and played an amazing game defeating Bigfork 65-52....
I would like to start with some thank yous. The administrators were very helpful to me this year, especially Mr. Somerfeld who helped this technology-challenged old coach. Our parents were very supportive and that was a real treat. They made it easy in this transition year. Thanks to our managers, Rya Soul, Georgia Orahood, Lauren Doney and Mady Bain for all their effort this year; we can not make it without their contribution to the program. Last but not least, thanks to our assistant coaches,...
The 2019-2020 cheerleading year was a fun, crazy, and bittersweet year full of emotions. Being my fourth year coaching, it was the year my first freshmen were seniors. I am so proud of everything they've achieved in these past four years. I can't help but be very grateful for all the growth I've gone through as a coach with them by my side and I cannot believe they'll be off to college this fall. I hope they bring smiles to others like they brought to me. This year, the cheer program was in...
The 2018-19 Golf season was an excellent season for the Malta golfers. First for our Most Improved Golfers. Hayden VanWichen, as a sophomore, was one of our best golfers.

James Brant Young made perhaps one of the greatest plays in Malta High School history on Saturday, March 16, 1985, but before and after his game-saving three-point play in that state basketball championship, Young was formidable in the boxing ring.

His career included All-Navy and All-Forces Championship titles in 1991....
