GHS Track, Softball Teams Get Going

But Young Golfers Get Extra Practice Week

Spring has sprung for Scottie sports.

The softball team opened with a 6-4 win Tuesday over Havre in a game added to take place before the regularly scheduled opener at 3:30 p.m. this Thursday against visiting Glendive.

The golf team, meanwhile, will open April 7 at the Forsyth Invitational and skip this Friday's previously scheduled opener at Shelby. Coach Dave Riggin told The Courier that his young team needs the extra week to practice before teeing off for real.

And the GHS Invitational Track Meet opens the season for new coach Tim Phillips' team on Saturday, March 28. Field events begin at 9 a.m., track at 9:30.

Phillips noted that meet marks the debut of track and field “qualifying standards to get to the state meet, and we hope to see a couple qualify on Saturday.” Athletes can still qualify for State at Divisionals.

“We won't have a full squad since some don't have their required 10 practices in due to illness and other activities so far this season,” Phillips said. “But we should have most of our athletes there.”

Malta, Poplar, Plentywood, Bainville, Culbertson, Dodson, Fairview, Frazer, Garfield County, Hinsdale, Lambert, Lustre Christian, Medicine Lake, Nashua, Saco, Scobey and Turner were signed up to compete as of Tuesday.

Here's the Glasgow Invite schedule. All events are finals.
