Huge Hug
for Hayden!
At the conclusion of the Glasgow
Scotties thumping up on the Poplar
Indians on Friday night (or shall
we call it Friday afternoon, the
match was over by about quarter
after five) Hayden Green was
greeted with a hug by her father,
Jay Green. Precious moment
indeed. Hayden, a six foot junior,
had an awesome match including
five blocks and seven kills. It
went quick as the Scotties put
it to the Indians 25-18, 25-8 and
25-15. Also with seven kills was
sophomore Joely Chappell. At
only 5’5”, she’s got some springs.
Freshman Gina Page had six
digs, junior Macy Martin had 19
assists, and the lone senior on the
roster, Tatum Nyquist, recorded
four aces. It was a great Friday
afternoon performance, but Sidney
was in town Saturday and took a
victory home. It was a hard-fought
match with the Eagles winning in
four: 25-17, 24-26, 28-26, 25-21.
Pointing to Mike Brandt’s story last
week, these young Scotties are a
scrappy bunch. Oh, and notice that
Montana hat Jay is wearing? He
wore jersey #66 for the Grizzlies
and is a Scotty Hall of Famer!

Tigers chew up Dawgs
By Mike Brandt
An injury plagued Glasgow football team made its
longest trip of the season, making the trek to Manhattan
where they lost to the Tigers 38-14, dropping to 0-4.
Glasgow’s defense played well, but the offense
struggled in the first half, gaining only 15 total yards.
The Tigers racked up 194 total yards. All stats are
unofficial.
The Dawgs put together two nice drives in the
second half and finished with 165 total yards, compared
to 310 for the Tigers. Manhattan had 15 first downs
compared to three for the Dawgs.
Vaughn Miller had a good night on defense. The
senior recovered a fumble and intercepted a pass and
had multiple tackles. The Dawgs defense had a goal-
line stand on Manhattan’s third possession in the first
quarter. The Tigers drove from their own 47 down to
Glasgow’s 3 before turning the ball cover on downs. In a
possession prior to this one, the Dawgs kept Manhattan
out of the end zone. The Tigers drove from their own 32
to Glasgow’s 33 before turning the ball over on downs.
Manhattan (2-1) scored on its first possession after
taking the opening kickoff at midfield. Michael Stewart,
a 6-foot senior, linked up with George Stenberg for a
16-yard touchdown pass and a 6-0 lead with 8:47 to play
in the first quarter.
The Tigers took a 14-0 lead with 2:47 left in the half
when Callin Fenno broke for an 8-yard TD run. The
two-point conversion pass was good. The drive started
on Glasgow’s 35.
Manhattan was on the move again, getting to the
Dawgs 32 when Miller stepped in front of a Stewart
pass, returning it to the 35.
Manhattan scored on its first possession in the
second half after holding Glasgow on its first possession
to start the third. The Tigers took the ball on Glasgow’s
42 and capped the drive off with Stewart scoring from
6
5-yards out with 6:04 left in the third quarter.
Miller came up with the ball on the Tigers second drive,
recovering the ball on the 37.
The Tigers managed to score early in the fourth
when Fenno caught a Stewart pass for a 22-yard TD
with 8:09 to play in the game.
Glasgow’s offense started clicking after taking the
ball at its own 28. Following an incomplete pass by Khye
Gamas, the sophomore connected with Toryn Richards
for a 7 yard completion. Onj the next play Gamas broke
loose to ramble 64-yards for a touchdown with 7:08 to
play.
But the Dawgs weren’t satisfied with only one
score. Gamas and Hindale’s Cade Strommen hooked up
for a 26-yard TD with 3:29 to play. This capped off a
drive that started on the Manhattan 35. Gamas passed
to Richards for the two-point conversion.
The Tigers added two more scores in the fourth
with Stenberg going 25-yards with 5:35 to go and Tyson
Padlock going 3-yards with 30 seconds to play.
Manhattan, which normally co-ops with Manhattan
Christian, is not in a co-op this season. Manhattan
Christian started its own program for the first time in
school history. The Eagles are 3-1 in eight-man football.
In other Northern B action, Florence blanked
Conrad (1-2) 77-0, Shepherd defeated Wolf Point (0-4,
0-1) 36-6, Eureka shutout Fairfield (2-2, 1-0) 51-0 and
Missoula Loyola got by Malta (1-3) 34-20. Second-rank
Columbus had its defense scored upon for the first time
this season. Big Timber managed to score 12 points in a
loss that saw the Cougars scoring 20 points.
Glasgow will host Malta Friday night at 7 bells.
KLTZ will have the game on the radio and Nemont TV
will air the game on its network.

 Three patients in a
mental institution prepare
for an examination given
by the head psychiatrist.
If the patients pass the
exam, they will be free
to leave the hospital.
However, if they fail, the
institution will detain them
for five years.
The doctor takes the
three patients to the top
of a diving board looking
over an empty swimming
pool, and asks the first
patient to jump.
The first patient
jumps head first into the
pool and breaks both
arms. Then the second
patient jumps and breaks
both legs.
The third patient
looks over the side and
refuses to jump.
“Congratulations! You’re
a free man. Just tell me why
didn’t you jump?” asked
Glasgow’s Hayden Green made the varsity roster come tournament time in 2022, the doctor.
and as GHS Athletic Director Brenner Flaten pointed out about this season, “She To which the third
has become a dominant player.” It will be fun to watch the Scotties’ improvements patient answered, “Well
as the season progresses, and you know how time flies, the 2023 tourney action will Doc, I can’t swim!”
be here before you know it! And the Scotties are FUN to watch.
Letter to the Buzz
Concerning Scottie Field Recharged
I’d just like to express my gratitude towards the
Glasgow community.
I grew up in Hinsdale. I played football for Glasgow
and had more track practices in Glasgow than I did in
Hinsdale for pole vaulting. Many Glasgow families,
(Hartsocks, Kittlesons, Hughes, Remus, Riggins, Corys,
Flatens, Krumwiedes… I could do this all day…), made
me feel at home and always helped/watched out for me.
Don’t get me wrong, life is not only about sports,
however, many life lessons are learned through these
“silly games”. Hell it paid for my college. Work ethic,
sportsmanship, health, and friendships are just a few
positive things to mention.
This day and age the expense of life can be flat
out tough. Sometimes that causes us to lose track of
the big picture. Glasgow is the big brother/sister to
our surrounding areas. You might think “well these
surrounding areas can help foot the bill then”. Well here

Improvements Bond include?
**Day 22 Tidbit**
Is artificial turf a safe alternative to natural
grass?
Absolutely! Injuries associated with turf
fields are the hot-button topic within mainstream
media recently. Very few would deny that a
PERFECT natural grass surface is oftentimes
a preference of players and coaches alike.
However, we do not currently have an adequate
natural grass surface in Glasgow and maintaining
a new safe natural grass surface throughout the
Rocky Mountain region or the Dakotas would be
far more difficult than maintaining a safe artificial
playing surface.
Professional Football teams (with Field
landscaping budgets that would exceed 1 million
annually) still opt for artificial surfaces on half
those 32 fields in the United States. Comparing
High School athletes to professional players is
the definition of comparing apples to oranges.
The safety of artificial turf trumps any natural
grass surface; when those natural surfaces have
clear deficiencies (such as an uneven playing
surface, a field with drainage issues, an area
we are. I know many, (myself, wife, and brothers) and
many people from Hinsdale, Nashua, Opheim, Saco,
Frazer, Whitewater, and Malta living in town and paying
these taxes.
Older generations who built/maintained our
facilities and created this community were not acting as
selfish individuals. It might not have directly impacted
them personally but they knew it would impact others.
And it did. I gladly will repay my debt to such a great
community who has given me opportunities through
out my life. Even though this might not directly impact
you today, it might impact your kids, grandkids,
the surrounding area kids or even the less fortunate
who might come back and continue to improve this
community.
Go Scotties!… Raiders, Vikings, Porcupines, Bear
Cubs, Panthers, Spartans, Penguins, Coyotes, Lions,
Mustangs, and Wolves! I vote for Scottie Recharge!
Here to serve all the hard working and those willing
to work,
~ Coach CAP
with poor soil content, late season dead grass
associated with a field’s overuse, and rock
hard playing surfaces associated with the cold
weather of the north. High Schools, Universities,
and small communities throughout our region
are opting in-mass for this change not because
PERFECT natural grass isn’t a clear safe option,
but because sub-optimal natural grass surfaces
often become OUR normal.
For every “study” that is released about
injuries related to artificial surfaces there are
multiple comparable studies released showing no
correlation.
