Mavericks survive Spartans challenge advance to State
By Mike Brandt
North Country found itself in
some unfamiliar territory Monday
night when the Mavericks had to
win a challenge game to play in
the State Class C tournament that
begins Wednesday at Four Seasons
Arena in Great Falls.
The Mavericks dropped into
the challenge game after falling to
Plentywood, 48-39, in the Eastern
C championship game. The loss put
the Mavericks up against a familiar
3C foe, Scobey-Opheim. This is
a team the Mavericks had beaten
three times this year.
North Country went on a 13-0
run to finish the third quarter with
a 34-26 lead. The Mavericks trailed
19-16 at the half and tied it up at 19
in the third on Paige Wasson’s three-
pointer. Eighth-grader Camrie
Holum gave the Spartans a 26-21
lead with her three-point play. That
was all the scoring for the Spartans
in the third as North Country
finished with that run.
Scobey-Opheim cut the lead
to 34-30 early in the fourth but the
Mavericks broke away for a 38-32
lead and went on for a 43-36 win
and earned a trip to state.
North Country was 1 for 4
from the line in the final minute.
Wasson had the hot hand, scoring
20 points for the Mavericks. Teagan
Erickson had seven, Jaycee Erickson
and Zandora Longtree five each,
Kendall Scheffelmer, Shelbi LaBrie,
and Mattea McColly two apiece.
Carrie Taylor led the Spartans
with 12 points, Holum had seven,
Abby Willis six, Karys Lamb four,
and Daisy Hersel three. Hersel did
leave the game with a knee injury.
She did not return.
Plentywood, which also won
the Eastern C volleyball title, led
from the start, holding a 15-5 first
quarter lead. The Wildcats held off a
North Country surge in the second
for a 25-22 lead. Zandora Longtree
drained a three ball before time ran
out in the first half. Jayce Erickson
sank a pair of free throws to start the
second half and get the Mavericks to
within 25-24.
Liv Wingerin made sure the
Mavericks didn’t get any closer as
she scored six points in the third to
give Plentywood a 37-29 cushion
entering the fourth period. The
Wildcats led by 11 in the fourth.
Jaycee Erickson led the
Mavericks with 16 points, Teagan
Erickson followed with 13, Wasson
had seven, and Longtree three.
Junior Emma Brensdahl
fired in 19 points for the Wildcats,
Wangerin added 13, Annie Kaul
had eight, Ashtyn Curtiss six, and
Mallory Tommerup two.
Scobey-Opheim needed a 38-
32 win over Circle in the consolation
game to force the challenge. The
Spartans came from behind to win
the game. Lamb had 14 points and
Taylor 10 for the Spartans. Alexis
Moline had 14 for Circle.
The Mavericks opened
tournament play Thursday
afternoon with a 62-22 blowout win
over Froid-Lake. The Mavericks had
the running clock at the 4:55 mark
in the fourth quarter, leading 60-20.
They led 35-14 at the break.
Wasson was hot for the
Mavericks as the sophomore tallied
18 points in the first half and
finished with 28. Jaycee Erickson
added 11 points, Teagan Erickson
had nine, Shelbi LaBrie four, Kora
LaBrie and Mattea mcColly three
ech, Scheffelmear and Longtree two
each.
Baylee Davidson led the
Redhawks with 11 points, Carolyn
Christofferson had six, Dasani
Nesbit three and Alexis Nelson two.
The Mavericks ran out to an
16-2 first quarter lead, held a 33-4
lead at the break and coasted to
a 58-13 semifinal win over Mon-
Dak in semifinal action Friday
afternoon. Wasson’s bucket late in
the third period gave the Mavericks
the running clock with a 48-7 lead.
Wasson paced the Mavericks
with 16 points, Jaycee Erickson
followed with 13, Teagan Erickson
had 10, Scheffelmear eight, Kora
LaBrie three, McColly, Longtree,
Shelbi LaBrie, and Josie Brown two
apiece.
Emma Smart had 10 points and
Reign Ledahl three for the Thunder,

Nation Wishes We Had Our Own Oil We Could Dig Up With Big
Machines And Then Transport Around With Some Kind Of Pipeline
U.S.—With oil imports from
Russia banned and gas prices
continuing to rise, many
around the nation report
really wishing we had our
own oil we could dig up
with big machines and then
transport around with some
sort of pipeline.
“If only we had oil, and
knew how to get it,” said one
local mom as she shelled out
$300 for gas to take her kids
to soccer practice. “Then
maybe we wouldn’t have
to buy it from evil regimes
around the world and gas prices would be lower. I know Other scientists say they may have discovered an
that’s ridiculous, but it sure would be nice if that were almost unlimited form of energy that is clean and safe
possible!” that uses some sort of atomic fuel but that technology
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg says may be years away.
he commiserates with people who are struggling right ~ Babylon Bee
now. “I do have a solution though,” he said. “If you all
just plop down $90K on an electric car and another 3
million on building a windmill in your backyard, you
won’t have to deal with these gas costs. I am smart!”
The scientific community says they are hard at
work on a solution to the oil shortage but haven’t found
any options so far. “If only there was oil, and some way
to get it out of the ground and transport it!” said all the
scientists, scratching their heads.

 During a terrible storm, all the highway signs
were covered with snow. The following spring, the state
decided to raise all the signs twelve inches at a cost of six
million dollars.
“That’s an outrageous price!” said a local farmer,
“but I guess we’re lucky the state handled it instead of
the federal government.”
“Why’s that?” the neighboring farmer asked.
“Because knowing the federal government, they’d
decided to lower the highways.”

Montana’s 2022 candidate filing season has
entered its final week.
As of Friday, March 4 at 5 p.m., 256 candidates
had submitted filings for Montana’s statewide, state
district, and legislative seats.
Ten new legislative candidates filed last week,
with all 10 declaring for Montana’s House of
Representatives. A total of 180 candidates have filed
for house races, while 45 more are running for state
senate seats. Of the 225 legislative candidates, 83

challenger for their seat.
As of Friday evening, 31 legislative races were
scheduled for a primary election on June 7, 2022.
Only six incumbents are currently scheduled for a
primary election.
Thirteen candidates remained in the race for
Montana’s two congressional seats — six competing
for western Montana’s House District 1 and seven
slated to appear on the ballot for House District 2.
Cora Neumann, Al “Doc” Olszewski, Mary
Todd, Ryan Zinke, Monica Tranel, and Matt Jette
remain candidates for U.S. House District 1.
Meanwhile, Charles Walking Child became
the latest candidate to file for U.S. House District
2, joining previous filers Skylar Williams, James
Boyette, current Representative Matt Rosendale, Kyle

Child officially filed at the Secretary of State’s Office
on Thursday.
Two new filings were also submitted for
Montana Supreme Court Justice positions last week.
Incumbent Supreme Court Justice Jim Rice filed on
March 1, as did Judge Mike McMahon. Rice filed
for Supreme Court Justice #1, while McMahon is
the second candidate for Supreme Court Justice #2,
joining Justice Ingrid Gustafson.
Statewide, state district, or legislative candidates
can file online, in person at the Secretary of State’s
Office, or by mail or fax (the filing fee must be paid
at the time of filing). Local candidates file with the
county election office.
For more information about candidate filing and the

NVCW/S UPDATE- ST. MARIE
Some history and current adjustments and policy
updates to North Valley County Water/Sewer
District:
1. Way back when, the policy was that a $1
charge per year, per unit would cover repairs
to all water lines of SMCA units. So rags, toys,
tampons, needles clogging the water lines
in St. Marie Condo Units would be repaired
and maintained by the Water/Sewer District.
Additionally, corroding cast iron sewer lines
would be maintained by the Water/Sewer
District. The agreement was signed off by the
Condo Association and Water/Sewer District.
Reasonable?
2. Now we have a 60 year old plant with many
breaks and obstructions. The last water and
sewer line break on Ash Street left 2 blocks of
houses without water service last 4th of July.
The cost to repair the breaks was over $6,000.
Corrosion, tree root problems, and buildings
settling cause the problems.
3. Our policies have been updated to address
the current conditions to insure financial
sustainability...as well as fairness to all. If
measures were not taken to correct these
issues, rates would have had to be raised about
$50 per month per customer to cover costs.
4. The Water/Sewer District maintains water lines
from the Main line to the Service Line curb stop.
From the curb stop into the unit it’s the owner or
renters responsibility.
5. The sewer lines are maintained to the building
slab. However if tree root problems occur, the
unit owner must use chemicals to treat the
condition or call a plumber or handyman to roto
root the line. If a sewer backup is in the unit
the owner or renter may clear it themself, call a
plumber or handyman, or pay the Water/Sewer
District to clear the line. Corrosion or negligence
of the sewer line use is the responsibility of the
owner or renter. NOTE: A written request was
submitted to the Architectural Committee to
remove trees that cause repeated problems...
it was denied.
SPECIFIC INFORMATION- Drop into the Water/
Sewer office and request copies of the Water and
Sewer newest Resolutions. Sewer-Resolution
