Already atop the Eastern A standings, the Glasgow Reds are in good position to win the regular season title. However, a 10-game home stand over the next week will go a long way in deciding the conference. Starting on July 10 with two games against Lewistown, and ending July 18 with two more contests against the Billings Cardinals, the Reds host 10-straight conference games against five opponents. Two-game sets with the Billings Blue Jays, Sidney and Laurel are also scheduled. With the Reds...
The Glasgow Kiwanis Swim Team came out of Glendive with a third-place finish as a team, two high-point winners and one big goal in mind, focusing on attitude during the homestretch of the season. Falling short of the Sidney Tiger Sharks and the Glendive Wet Devils, Glasgow topped Lewistown, Roundup, Plentywood, Scobey, Malta and Chinook during the two-day meet, scoring 511 team points. High-point winners Khloe Krumwiede and Trevor Johnson led the way for Glasgow with each accumulating three...
It’s a good problem to have. As the timeless baseball adage goes, “You can never have enough pitching.” The Glasgow Reds might be the exception. The Reds are 23-4 on the season, collecting a dozen or more blowout wins in the process. Their offense has been spectacular, scoring well more than 10 runs per game. Their pitching has been better. “Our pitching is doing an outstanding job,” said Manager Jack Sprague. “We don’t expect anything less than perfection on the mound.” The Reds are as close to...
The Reds finally lost. After 17 straight victories, the Glasgow Reds fell 11-3 to the Calgary PBF Redbirds during the Harold Gjerde Memorial Tournament in Lewistown this weekend. The loss dropped the Reds to the third-place game at the tournament, which they eventually won 9-5 over Great Falls. But to Manager Jack Sprague, the loss could be a good thing for the Reds. “It was good to see a team that made you pay for mistakes. When we made mistakes, they made you pay.” said Sprague. “So we have...
It’s been a theme in the early season. Coaches Matt Dangleis and Alex Leuchars, in an effort to increase stamina, push their swimmers hard at practice, expecting them to be too exhausted to perform at their peak in the weekend meets; yet, the swimmers have continued to rise above expectations. This week was no different. “[The meet] went really well, actually kind of shocked me a little. A lot of my swimmers were exhausted and tired,” said Leuchars. “We’ve been pounding them hard.” A team of 3...
The Glasgow High School football staff will be putting on two football camps in July to include high school, middle school and the youth football age group (3rd-6th grades). The first camp is for the high school and middle school programs. The high school camp will run from Friday, July 19, to Monday, July 22, while the middle school will participate in conjunction with the first two days of the high-school camp (July 19-20). The high-school/middle-school camp will run from 7 – 9:15 p.m. Limited contact will occur and will require shoulder p...
The slugging Reds continued their offensive outpour for a perfect 7-0 record on the week. Coming into the Aaron’s Tournament in Billings on Saturday and Sunday, the Reds were averaging nearly 10 runs per game, racking up 51 extra-base hits in only 15 games. Those trends continued in Billings, even if not immediately. The Reds began the tournament on Saturday night with a 4-2 win over the Billings Blue Jays. The Blue Jays struck first, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first, capitalizing o...
At Glasgow High School, student really does come before athlete in student-athlete. Across three sports, GHS had 28 student-athletes qualify for academic all-state. To qualify, students must earn a varsity letter in a MHSA sanctioned sport, and earn a 3.5 or higher GPA in the final quarter of the school year. Glasgow has 18 student-athletes qualify with a 4.0 GPA, the highest GPA recognized by MHSA. “I think it’s really a tribute to how hard they work in the classroom and what [the stu...
Only 17 Glasgow Kiwanis swimmers made the trip to Roundup for a two-day meet over the weekend. Glasgow still came home with a third-place trophy. Even after an impressive opening meet the weekend before, coaches Matt Dangleis and Alex Leuchars were thrilled with the progress in just one week. “The biggest [difference] from this point in the season last year is DQs (disqualifications),” said Leuchars. “Even our older swimmers were DQing all the time, but this year, I think we only had two DQs t...

Glasgow’s bats were red-hot in a five-game tourney in Havre this weekend. The Reds outscored their opponents 66-7, clubbing their way to a sweep of their Northstar Tournament opponents. “Typically, in our program, we throw strikes, we play defense, we try to develop it to play close games because that’s typically the way we have to win,” said Head Coach Jack Sprague. “But the way we swung it this weekend, it was pretty much over early.” The Reds opened the weekend with two games on Friday, thr...
They are contenders this year. Returning for their second year as coaches, Matt Dangleis and Alex Leuchars were impressed to see the improvements made during last season carried over to the beginning of this year for the Glasgow Kiwanis Swim Team. Glasgow traveled to Harlem for their first meet of the year on Saturday and Leuchars and Dangleis came away excited for the upcoming season. “We were shocked about how much better they were this season than they were at the beginning of last season. W...
It didn’t exactly go to plan. The breaks didn’t always go the Scotties’ way. And the weather didn’t play fair. Nevertheless, the Scotties still had a successful spring sports season and are set up to be even more successful in the seasons ahead. The smallest Glasgow High School class since 1930 graduated on May 26, including several highly-decorated athletes, such as Bryan Larson and Alex Page, who were named Scottie Athletes of the Year recently, joining a long line of distinguished Scottie com...
Walt Dalbey was the only Reds pitcher to receive a loss in four games this weekend. The unquestioned ace of the staff was set to lead the Reds to a four-game sweep of Glendive in the final game on Sunday. He threw five innings and only gave up three earned runs. But Glendive scored five unearned, as well, giving the Blue Devils a commanding 8-0 lead through four innings. The Reds tried to scrape back into the game, scoring eight runs in the seventh, but it wasn’t quite enough as they fell 11-9....
Clearing her final high jump gave Megan Dailey not only the event state title, but also her Scottie girls a spot on the podium. The high jump, one of the last events of the day at the Class B State Meet in Bozeman on Friday and Saturday, looked to be anybody’s event to win with five to six girls coming in with season-best marks of 5 feet, 2 inches, the same personal record for Dailey. “I wasn’t really expecting [to win],” said Dailey. “I was really hoping to place but I didn’t think I’d win.” B...
Nothing went the way it was supposed to for the Scottie girls. In their third-straight trip to state, everything was set up to achieve Glasgow’s ultimate goal, a state title. Instead, a rash of errors, mistakes and one big injury cost the Scottie girls two straight losses and an early exit on Friday. “When you go to the state tournament, you have to bring your A-game every game. When you don’t, that’s what happens,” said Head Coach Mark Falcon. The Scottie girls played well in their first gam...
Experience was the key for Tamrah Pewitt and Makkell Baillargeon in their rounds in Bigfork. Pewitt and Baillargeon, both sophomores, shot their first rounds of state golf at the Class B tournament on May 21-22 at the Eagle Bend Golf Course. “The biggest thing was, they’re young golfers and they got a quality experience,” said Head Coach Dave Riggin. “And they improved the second day, which is what we were looking for.” Pewitt started her tournament with a 127 on Tuesday, the first day of th...
Questions arose about possible new Scottie wrestling coach at the May 15 Glasgow School Board meeting. Trevor Newman, a recent hire to be an English teacher within the district, was on the board agenda to be approved, but the board tabled the item until the next meeting due to procedural hiring guidelines. However, wrestling alumni, fans, athletes, parents and AAU wrestlers showed up to voice their concerns about the hire beforehand. Brian Austin told the board he was concerned about the hiring...
The Scottie girls didn’t know it at the time, but their defeat of Shepherd, 10-5, on Saturday gave them the Eastern B/C Divisional Championship. With the tournament pounded by rain, the divisional championship game was cancelled, giving the Scottie girls, the only undefeated team remaining in the tournament, the title, completed the third of their four goals for the season. “We got our first three objectives out of the way. We took first in our conference, finished the regular season strong and...
The Scottie girls led from wire-to-wire. Starting the day with the 3,200-meter run, the Scottie girls tallied 18 points to jump start their 164-point domination of the Northern B Divisional meet on Saturday in Glasgow. Josie Braaten finished first with a time of 11:44 and Amanda Wolff was just behind in second at 12:18.7. It was the first of five events that the Scottie girls had multiple placers. Walker Allen scored the first points for the boys in the 3,200, finishing in sixth for one point. H...
A young team, the Glasgow Reds B team found some confidence after their last road trip to Sidney and beat Glendive in a pair of games on Saturday. The Reds, led by starting pitcher Keil Krumwiede, beat Glendive 10-3 in their first contest on Saturday and then came back to win 9-6 in the night cap. "Confidence was a big thing for a lot of us," said Krumwiede. And confidence in Krumwiede grew with each strike out on Saturday, as he racked up 11 Ks in 4.1 innings of work. Krumwiede also only...

Heading into the postseason, last year’s run to second in the state for the Scottie girls’ softball team is in their back of their mind. And yet, it isn’t. “We take it one game at a time, one inning at a time, one pitch at a time,” said junior catcher Mariah Stein. It’s a sports cliche. Everybody has heard them at every level of competition. Usually, they’re just platitudes. In this case though, it’s the mindset of the entire team. In 2012, the Scottie girls, mostly comprised of sophomores, wen...
It was complete and total domination for tracksters in red at the District 2B Meet. The Glasgow girls scored 216 points, 82 tallies in front of second-place Plentywood, followed by Malta (96), Wolf Point (49), Poplar (10) and Harlem (2). The boys were not quite as dominant, but were still solidly the best team at the meet, scoring 199 points to Malta’s 163. Plentywood was third with 99, Poplar had 20, Harlem scored 13 and Wolf Point was last with two. The Scotties “came to play,” said Head...
Tamrah Pewitt and Makkell Baillargeon will make their Scottie golf debuts at the state tournament this season. The pair will be the only representatives for the Scotties after Pewitt took 11th and Baillargeon was 14th at the Northern B Divisional in Malta on Saturday. Pewitt shot a 118 and Baillargeon shot a 120, both below their season averages. Pewitt came in to the day with a 131 average on the season, including a 126 in Malta on May 4. Baillargeon was sitting at a 123 average coming into...
