The Broadus Hawk Varsity Football team finished out their season last week with two home games, on Tuesday against the Circle Wildcats, and Friday night against the Forsyth Dogies. Cold conditions both games made for an added challenge for fans, officials, and players alike, with few complaints overheard about the need for COVID face coverings on the field – a mask helped guard the nose from the cold! The Hawks were hampered by a safety early against Circle, but kept the game close through t...

The trip up to Kalispell went well, but by Friday the storm began to dump snow on the course,...

Earlier this year, FWP switched to regular paper for licenses and permits. While handier for printing at home, this makes the licenses and permits more susceptible to water damage. Customers can also keep a d...
