Looney Tunes characters Bugs Bunny and Wile
E. Coyote would soon be making a splash during
the Middle of Nowhere Polar Plunge in downtown
Glasgow, one of the “Winter Wonderland” Christmas
Stroll events held this past Saturday. The Polar
Plunge® is a Law Enforcement Torch Run® signature
event fund-raiser for the Special Olympics Montana
and there are currently 13 events across the state of
Montana, with the first one being held in Whitefish in
1999. The Middle of Nowhere raised $1,785 — that is
compared to Miles City’s Friday night (Dec. 1) fund-
raising total of $21,246 which was almost as much as

the Great Falls Polar Plunge also held this past Friday
night that raised $22,693. Havre also had its Subzero
Superhero Polar Plunge on Saturday which brought
in $6,442. The first Polar Plunge of the 2023 season
in Montana was held in Sidney on November 24th,
raising $7,183. Even if you didn’t take the Middle of
Nowhere plunge but would still like to donate, go to
somt.org and start clicking buttons. The next Polar
Plunge on the schedule is in Billings this Friday night,
and they have already raised $24,045. Every dollar
helps, and the Polar Plunge now generates more than
$350,000 annually for Special Olympics Montana!

Twelve Days of Giving
To mark the 4th day of his 12 Days of Giving
campaign, Governor Greg Gianforte spotlighted the
work of Eagle Mount to empower Montanans living with
disabilities through outdoor and indoor recreation.
“For over 40 years, Eagle Mount has inspired
confidence in thousands of Montanans with disabilities
that the ‘sky is the limit,’” Gov. Gianforte said. “I
encourage folks to support Eagle Mount – either with
their time or resources – as they celebrate the abilities of
all Montanans through therapeutic recreation in Big Sky
Country.”
Founded in 1982 by Robert and Greta Mathis, Eagle
Mount removes barriers to recreation for individuals
with disabilities of all ages, as well as young Montanans
with cancer. Its staff and volunteers serve nearly 1,000
individuals each year.
“Whether horseback riding, skiing, swimming,
gardening, cycling, camping, or climbing, we believe that
if you can do it in Montana, you can do it with Eagle
Mount,” said executive director Kevin Sylvester.
Eagle Mount launched a new fundraising campaign,
called “Syvel’s Story,” highlighting the impact of Eagle
Mount on Syvel, one of the Montanans it serves.
Executive Director Sylvester added, “In a world that
often treats people with disabilities differently, we know
that when recreation is made available to all, communities
are strengthened, challenges are overcome, and lives are
transformed. Support Eagle Mount today to ensure the
adventure and beauty of Montana remains accessible to
everyone.”
For more information about Eagle Mount or to learn
how to support them, visit eaglemount.org.
Running through December 13, the governor’s
third annual 12 Days of Giving campaign will highlight
the work of a dozen organizations serving Montanans in
need.
On the 1st Day of Giving, the governor contributed
a quarter of his annual governor’s salary to Hope
Pregnancy Ministries in Kalispell.
On the 2nd Day of Giving, the governor launched
the third annual food drive among state agencies and
encouraged Montanans to give to the Montana Food
Bank Network or their local food bank.
On the 3rd Day of Giving, the governor contributed
a quarter of his annual governor’s salary to Hi-Line Home
Programs in Sidney.
On the 4th Day of Giving, the governor encouraged
Montanans to support Eagle Mount as it empowers
Montanans living with disabilities through outdoor and
indoor recreational opportunities.

Mavericks continues to roll
By Mike Brandt
Defending state Class C girls basketball champions
North Country made it 30 straight wins over the
weekend in Miles City. The Mavericks participated in
a 2023-24 season opening tournament in Cowtown at
Miles City High School.
The 30 wins date back to the 2021-22 state
tournament where the Mavericks won their last two
games to finish third. The trophy case is getting full with
state tournament hardware. North Country was second
the year before that and won it all last year. I’m sure
the Mavericks can find room for one more trophy next
March.
The Mavericks opened their season with a convincing
60-17 win over Jordan Friday night. Mavericks defense
held the Mustangs scoreless in the first and third quarters.
North Country held leads on 20-0. 35-10 and 55-10 to
get the running clock in the third.
Whitewater’s Paige Wasson fired in 18 points to
lead the Mavericks. Saco’s Teagan Erickson followed
with 12 points, Hinsdale’s BaiLee McColly had eight,
Shelbi LaBrie had seven, Kendall Scheffelmear six, Josie
Brown four, and CharLee McColly two.
No scoring was reported for Jordan.
The Mavericks had a little tougher contest Saturday
night when they defeated Melstone 46-27. North
Country held a 9-7 lead after the first quarter. The
Mavericks pulled away in the second, taking a 23-9 lead.
It was 34-15 going into the final period.
Wasson netted 24 points for the Mavericks,
Erickson had 10, LaBrie seven, Scheffelmear four, and
BaiLee McColly one.
Scoring for Melstone was not reported.
Lustre Christian Lions also opened with two wins
at the 11th Annual Class C Showcase at Glasgow High
School. The Lions started off with a 55-33 win over
Mon-Dak of Westby-Grenora Friday evening. Lustre
Christian held a 14-8 first quarter lead and led 30-20 at
the break. The Lions outscored Mon-Dak 25-13 in the
second half.
Senior Grace Brown led the Lions with 13 points.
Kencia Brown and Aubri Holzrichter followed with 10
each, Lauren Fast had nine, Lauryn Holzrichter five,
Alexa Reddig four, Jaden Gibson and Hannah Brown
two each.
Abby Lowes led the Thunder with 15 points, Emma
Christian had five, Zoe Branderburger four, Reign
Lefdahl three, Evelynn Lowes and Sydney Rudninger
two each, Rylie Gebhardt and Katelynn Folvag one each.
Saturday afternoon the Lions roared out to a 28-17
halftime lead over Terry en route to a 57-33 win. The
teams were tied at 10 at the end of the first period. The
Lions outscored the Terriers 17-5 in the fourth quarter.
Kencia Brown poured in 18 points in leading the Lions.
Reddig followed with 13 points, Aubri Holzrichter had
10, Lauryn Holzrichter eight, Grace Brown four, Hannah
Brown and Fast two each.
Kiera Chask had 12 points to lead the Terriers. Ashley
Eaton and Hatty Eaton had even points each, Kelin Jackson
four, Dakota Rogge two, and Meredith Sackman one.
Nahua also participated in the Showcase, but the
Porcupines are young with only one senior and a junior.
Coach Norm Braaten also has three freshmen and an
eighth-grader.
Turner ran out to a 24-5 lead at the break and led 39-5
after three periods.
Gracyn Sibley led the Porcupines with eight points.
Dyllan Bergstrom added two points.
Meredith Snider led the Tornadoes sith 14 points,
Natalie Richman chipped in 11 points, Bridget Reed and
Madestry Chamberlain eight each, Hally Grabofsky seven,
Cassidy Grabofsky six, Ali Doyle and Hannh Richman
two each.
Plevna Cougars raced out to a 26-12 first half lead
and coasted to a 51-21 win Saturday afternoon.
Sibley led the Porcupines with 13 points, Bergstrom
added six, Ashley Burns and Courtney Tolien one each.’
Hayden Lane scored a game-high 19 points for the
Cougars. Brylee Swarts followed with 16 points, Callie
Hoenke had nine, Emma Thielen five, and Leona May two.
Frazer won two games in Billings at Lockwood High
School. The Bearcubs defeated Reed Point-Rapelje 44-23
and Bridger-Belfry-Fromberg 64-47. Scoring was not
reported.
In other games at the Showcase on Friday, Dodson
beat Terry and Bainville beat Plevna 51-29. On Saturday
Mon-Dak defeated Dodson 48-31 and Bainville whipped
Turner 56-18.
Scobey-Opheim was also in Miles City where the
Spartans defeated Harlowton-Ryegate-Judith Gap 39-24
and Jordan 35-19.
Circle edged Ekalaka 37-31 and Plentywood 42-33.
North Country is in Lewistown for another
tournament where the Mavericks will play Winifred-Roy
and Tswin Bridges. Lustre Christian is in Scobey for a
tournament, taking on Broadus and Froid-Lake. Nashua is
off this weekend.

What Delaware’s QB Said About Griz Stadium in Montana

by Aaron Flint, Montana Talks
Heartbreak in Bozeman, while the
hens got roasted in Missoula. That was
definitely a heartbreaker for Bobcat fans
at Montana State University in Bozeman-
and for those of us who were rooting for
another Cat Griz game in Missoula right
before Christmas.
A HUGE night for the University of
Montana Grizzlies in Missoula.
Check out what the Delaware QB had
to say about Washington-Grizzly Stadium
in Missoula. He basically says that Griz
stadium is the best atmosphere he has ever
played in- and he played at Penn State this
year, as Shaun Rainey reports.
Looks like NFL coaching great Tony
Dungy was in the house for the MSU
Bobcats playoff game against North
Dakota State Saturday afternoon.
Tony Dungy: Very tough way to end
it for the Bobcats. They had a PAT blocked
in overtime to lose 35-34. I’m sure it puts
a damper on things but they’ve had a
great year and we had a wonderful visit to
Montana State University.
Meanwhile, the University of Montana
will get another home playoff game this
Friday night in Missoula.
If you can’t make it to the game, the
game will be broadcast on ESPN2 starting
at 7 p.m. Montana time.
Go Griz!

Fish and Wildlife Commission to
postpone upland game bird hearing
The Montana Fish and Wildlife Commission
hearing originally scheduled for Dec. 14 on the proposed
regulations governing upland game bird hunting
seasons has been postponed until a later commission
meeting.
During the public comment period earlier this fall,
the public shared insights about hunter experiences in
the field, and the department wanted to extend public
comment and add time to the hearing at a later meeting
so that the commission could make a fully informed
decision.
For a full agenda, background on the scheduled
topics and public comments, go to the Fish and Wildlife
Commission page on the FWP website.
FWP’s website offers live-streamed audio of each
Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting.
