The Harlem Wildcats made plenty of history in 2026. But on Saturday night in Bozeman, they were trying to add one more piece of history to the season - the program's first Class B boys basketball state championship in 24 years.

The Lodge Grass victory capped a perfect 26-0 season, and the Indians avenged a loss to Harlem...

Gently gliding down a flowing river The wind blowing through surrounding trees Bringing the applause of leaves Fingers in the cool water world Leaning over the canoe Nothing to do Save feel the breeze, chilling and crisp Romance on the morning’s rays Weaving spells betwixt and between the pair Dream-light misting the air Wood-ducks oblivious to the changing hues of life A handsome suitor with wooden oars Gazing intently at flushed cheeks— Willing captive that week; Sitting quietly in the panorama of nature’s...
