Last Tuesday, Malta M-ette senior Sophia Stiles announced that she had intent to play for the University of Montana Lady Grizzlies during her collegiate freshman year. The commitment right now is in the verbal stage, but Stiles plans on signing with the team in November. Stiles has been a valuable piece of the Malta M-ettes basketball team since her freshman season in which the team has since finished as state runner-up in 2014, and the State B Champions in both the 2015 and 2016 seasons.

Last Wednesday, Wild Sheep Foundation member Mike Kohler of Yulee, Fla., was able to cash in on a tag of a lifetime as he tagged a 300 pound, 11 year old bighorn ram off of a 20-year-old Ft. Belknap Reservation tag originally sold to Malta's Babsie Bishop. "I went to the council and asked them if I could market it," Bishop said. "My wife Toni had cancer at the time and we had some hospital bills. So they gave me the blessing to market it." The sheer size of the ram wasn't the only thing special...

Engines are roaring and the final touches are being added to what seems to be an aging group of AMX cars in preparation for the final race of the year. This race is Oct. 1 and 2 in Dodson and will be a benefit race for Russell Jaynes. Russell was diagnosed in February of 2016 with adenoid cystic carcinoma and since then has had two major surgeries, followed by six weeks of intense radiation. His surgeries were in Salt Lake City, Utah - and this cancer is so rare he was only the 17th case they have had in their hospital. Following his surgeries...
The North Country Mavericks opened the week with a win against the Lustre Christian Lady Lions last Friday in Lustre. The team won 3-0 with the scores being 25-12, 25-22 and 25-15. “One thing I noticed is that we were able to get the ball set a little better,” Coach Barry Malone said. “Our passing is improving and Casity was able to get to the pass. There were some that were a little errant but she got to some, and was able to get it to some of our big hitters who were able to knock it down.” Co...
Thursday, September 15 saw the Dodson-Whitewater Harriers tackling the ever tough Frazer Invitational meet. Three of the Harriers posted personal bests in one of the last true cross-country courses with the beautiful Missouri River in the background and including the infamous “killer hill”. “It rained down there,” Harriers Coach Bruce Warren said. “And the course was muddy but by the time the varsity kids ran it was dried up enough.” For the ladies, Bella Lawless finished in 32nd place with...

The Dodson-Whitewater Harriers are off to a solid start this season, already qualifying four of six runners for the State Meet in Kalispell this October.

The Mustangs are facing a bit of an uphill battle as the team suffered their second loss of the season to the Shepherd Mustangs last Friday in Shepherd. The score of the game was 20-14. Malta will be tasked with facing 1-1 Roundup this Friday. The Panthers will look to spoil Malta's Homecoming with a solid rushing attack that dismantled Rocky Boy 55-6 on Friday, September 2.

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...
The North Country Mavericks' regular season started in Saco last Thursday as the team lost to Class B's Poplar Indians 25-20, 25-15 and 25-8. The team bounced back the next day as they took down Class B's Harlem with sets of 25-17, 25-11 and 25-11.

Like last year the team won't have a big senior class as the only returning senior is hitter Kaleigh Cummings. The team will be under Coach...
The Dodson-Whitewater Harriers have about an hour drive between their two communities, but the runners are supportive when it counts. "They are very supportive of each other," Coach Tianna Bloomer told the PCN. "My kids are really supportive of the Whitewater girls and the Whitewater girls are supportive of my boys. 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...
The Malta M-ettes Volleyball team flashed some potential early this season as they defeated CJI 30-24, Geraldine-Highwood 30-10 and Cut Bank 30-27 during pool play at the Chinook Volleyball Invitational last Friday. The team eventually lost out in Saturday's tournament but the team should experience a bit of growth with four new starters this season as well as a brand new head coaching duo consisting of coaches Tasha Hines and Kalli Reintjes. The team lost several seniors to graduation including...

Last year's meet was cancelled due to the thick layer of smoke that covered the state because of the wildfires burning throughout the Pacific Nor...
