"And that will carry over [into divisional and state tournaments]. We'll continue to get better every weekend." Sidney and Poplar traveled to Glasgow on Feb. 19 for the Scotties' final regular season home match. Sidney, as was probably expected, came out on top i...

Pretty happy. That's where coach Jory Casterline is with his wrestling squad a few weeks into the season while acknowledging the team has room for improvement. The Scottie team is adjusting to season changes made necessary by the coronavirus pandemic, including more events with fewer participants. This past week, Glasgow had three separate events: a triangular in Miles City on Thursday, a triangular in Malta on Friday and a home mixer on Saturday. "We dropped duals to two Class A schools," said...

Nearly two dozen schools converged on Scottie Field this past weekend to compete in the area's first track meet for 2019. The usually-postponed meet was held on March 30 and featured zero precipitation and minimal wind. It took a lot of work just to prepare the facilities for the event, according to Glasgow's head track and field coach Tim Phillips. "It's so hard to try to get that first meet in. Thanks to Ryan Hartwell and Larry Rasmusan for working so hard to help us get everything cleared,...
Retiring Sheriff Verne Buerkle hadn't always wanted to be a cop. He just always was a cop. After sitting through a presentation from the then Glendive Chief of Police Gary Olson during his high school career day in Southeast Montana, Buerkle thought, "You know what, that's something I'd be interested in." That thought would translate into a 46-year long career in public service culminating in his being appointed Sheriff of Valley County in 2017. Initially, Buerkle enlisted in the Army in 1972...

A recent wordy statement from the high school boys head basketball coach at Dawson County High School (DCHS) in Glendive has raised some eyebrows. ('Culture of Mediocracy Getting in the Way of Athletic Success at DCHS,' Glendive Ranger Review, 01-21-17). According to the editor of the GRR, the statement was in response to questions posed to the head boys’ basketball coach, Wade Murphy, by the newspaper’s sports editor regarding DCHS athletics. Murphy, who is also the principal at the high school in Glendive, penned a response and asked tha...

The Scottie boys rose to the occasion and got the win they needed. And they didn't just scrape by with coming-down-to-the-wire free throws. They beat the Poplar Indians by 15 points at the Moccasin Square Garden on Jan. 29. It was their highest winning margin over a conference foe so far this season. Any conference win they can muster will help them avoid the playoff game between the fourth and fifth seeds, a game in which the loser will be barred from the district tournament. The tournament is...

BY JIM ORR THE COURIER One Scottie varsity team won and one lost last Thursday when the Sidney Eagles rolled into town. The girls won. The boys lost. And that's why they play the games. The boys were 10-0 and top ranked in the state before their loss. They already had beaten Sidney 56-46 this season. The girls were 4-6 before their win, playing without one of their best players, and lost to Sidney 73-47 in their first matchup. For a quarter Thursday, it looked like more of the same was in store...

Ready for some football? Football pickin'? The Courier's 47th annual football contest – or what's known as the 47th annual – kicks off this week on Page 6B. Along the way in contest history, some bad math occurred. The picture you see with this article shows the debut contest on Sept. 6, 1966 – 48 years ago. However, the contest was on the disabled list and inactive during the 2009 season – so 47th will have to do. The contest is again a fixture on Courierland's fall sports scene, a weekly...
