Those in the know didn't hold out much faith that the First State Bank golf team had much of a chance against the Independence Bank team at the Malta Men's League Golf Championship last Thursday at Marian Hills. The Independence Bank squad won last year's championship (they also took the title in 2009) and First State Bank hadn't claimed the title since 2008. On paper, it didn't look good. On the course, however, it ain't over 'til it's over. First State Bank's A and B golfers – Bob Galt and J...
The Malta Mustangs are a pretty young team this season after losing 12 seniors to graduation. This season the Mustangs will only have six seniors, opening up spots for underclassmen that may start for years to come. The Mustangs dropped their opening game to the 2015 State B runner-up Huntley Project last Friday 21-14. The team displayed a more than capable offense that will only get better with more experience and a defense that showed plenty of backbone as they only allowed two third down...

They were like that last year too." Coach Bloomer coaches the Dodson side of the Co-op, while Coach Bruce Warren coaches the Whitewater side. This season, Dodson will field four of...

It's no longer a secret to all at last Saturday's Demolition Derby at the Phillips County Fair that Chinook's Garrett Powell is the area's top competitor. Powell is nearing the end of a pretty hot streak after his first top finish of 2016 in Billings last May. He went on to an event in Glasgow and won. He won in the Blaine County Fair and took second in the Valley County Fair. Last Saturday he won his second consecutive Phillips County trophy. "It feels pretty good," Powell said. "There were som...
