Broadus high school wrestlers braved the cold and snowy conditions this weekend to wrestle in the Cowboy and Cowgirl Invitational Tournaments, in Miles City. 35 teams competed in the event, with the majority of Broadus wrestlers competing in the junior varsity competition. Coach Frankie Schoonover told us that he placed so many wrestlers in the JV tournament for several reasons. The Cowboy is a quite large meet, with a tournament atmosphere that features five sets of mats, and a full gym of...

By Jim Kolka The local AAU wrestlers had a strong start to the 2025 season, with tournaments in Colstrip, Terry, Forsyth, and Miles City. There has been a record number of athletes with 56, making the community center similar to an anthill at times. Our annual dual with Miles City will be January 30th at 6pm, so come grab a seat, as the dual is always entertaining! There was several first wins and first losses at Miles City, where we had 34 of the 626 wrestlers at the competition. A tough day of wrestling for sure. Condolences to Kaley Rumph...

On Saturday, the Broadus wrestling team braved the poor Eastern MT roads, traveling to the Glendive Invite. The meet featured teams from along the Yellowstone River, such as Lockwood, Forsyth, Custer/Hysham, and Billings Central, along with Glendive, as well as Hardin and Broadus.

The Broadus Wrestling team traveled to Glasgow over the weekend for the Scottie Invitational, sleeping on the gym mats overnight. Coach Frankie Schoonover told us that sleeping on the mats was a great team building exercise that the kids loved, though he wasn’t nearly as enthused about the idea of sleeping on the cold hard mats, being 41 years old and more comfortable in a bed (the editor can definitely relate). Frankie said that all in all the wrestlers did a great job coming together as a team at the tournament, supporting each other as t...
Boys The Broadus boys played the Bridger Scouts to a tie in the first quarter, last Friday. They would also tie in the fourth quarter...the two quarters in between were the difference maker, as Bridger made as many free throws as Broadus shot the entire game. Those extra free throw points were what tipped the scale for Bridger, as the Scouts beat the Hawks 47-42, with Gage Goltz of Bridger hitting 10 of 14 free throws from the line. For Broadus, Zach Jones led in scoring with 12, while Baylor...
The Broadus basketball teams opened up their season at the Miles City Classic over the weekend, as they played Savage and Forsyth in an exhibition style tournament which featured 12 total teams, allowing each team to play two games.

Broadus Wrestling began their season in Sidney last week, at the Sidney Eagle Invitational, which featured 26 teams, with many large schools attending such as Minot and Dickinson, ND, and schools as far flung as Lake Stevens, Washington. Broadus Head Coach Frankie Schoonover returns to coach the team, and is assisted this season by returning assistant coaches Wyatt Williams and Cody Kinzer. Managers include Talyn Conley, Alexis Gotfredson, and Macey Madsen. On Monday, Schoonover told us how his...
At the November Montana High School Association meeting, a divisional realignment of class C teams took place. The realignment, several years in the making, was meant to balance out teams amongst divisions as well as across sports, and will go into effect in the 2025-26 school year. The new alignment places teams into similar divisions across basketball, volleyball, and track. Football in Class C does not follow the same guidelines, due to the differentiation between 8 man and 6 man conferences, and sports such as golf, cross country, and...
The Hawks will move from 8 man football to 6 man football in the 2025 season, with the move approved by the Montana State High School Association at their November 25th meeting. The move comes after decisions were made earlier this year in local school board meetings, due to limited player numbers in Broadus. 6 man football carries a number of different rules compared to 8 or 11 man football, and final scores often look more like basketball scores than the football scores of 11 man – for instance, in the 6 man state championship this season, B...
The high school wrestling and basketball season competitions begin this weekend, with the wrestlers traveling to Sidney to compete at the Sidney Invitational Tournament on Friday and Saturday. Meanwhile, the basketball teams will play at the Coach Conners Classic in Miles City. That tournament, now in its 4th season, features 12 teams from around the area.

The Lady Hawks finished off their volleyball season at the divisional tournament in Sidney last Friday, capping off a season that saw the team winning second at two early season tournaments (at Belle Fourche and Bridger), as well as second in the district tournament. The Divisional Tournament got underway Thursday against North Country, a team comprised of students from Saco, Whitewater, and Hinsdale, northeast of Malta. Broadus came out hot against the Lady Mavericks and won the first set...
The Broadus Lady Hawks entered the 2C District Tournament last Thurday as the number #3 seed, trailing Savage and Circle. By Saturday afternoon after playing six matches in three days, they would exit the tournament as the #2 seed from the district.

On Friday, Broadus lost to Savage in...
The Lady Hawk volleyball team finished off their regular season with a pair of conference wins, cementing third place in the district. On Thursday the Lady Hawks faced Jordan at home. The previous weekend, Broadus had lost to Jordan at Jordan, and the Lady Hawks responded well to the loss to come back for a four set win. Broadus won the first set 25-23, but lost some of their concentration in the second, losing 19-25. They rallied in the third, controlling those things they could control, as...
As football season wound towards its finale, Hawk football faced one final test this season, against Poplar on Friday night. The Hawks hosted the game in Broadus, with conditions hovering in the low 40s with a light breeze for the evening game. Poplar won one game this season, via forfeit from Wibaux, but were otherwise in the same boat as Broadus, who had yet to win a game. That meant that at the end of the night, one team would have their first win by playing a game – and Broadus would u...
Broadus Cross Country ran at the State XC Meet in Missoula on Saturday. The team made the journey across the state over a two day span, getting a preview of the course on Friday. Broadus XC Coach Ashley Emmons told us the state course is reminiscent of Broadus' own home course, with a long hill at the start and another steep hill – the similarity is such that other coaches' teams who had run in Broadus commented to her on the similarity, and expressed their thanks for having run in Broadus as i...
The Hawk football team traveled to Plentywood on Thursday, October 17th. Broadus drove the ball down the field and scored in the first quarter on a 12 yard pass from Jayce Schroeder to Logan Capp, missing the extra point attempt. Throughout the game, Broadus was able to move the ball on Plentywood but had difficulty in completing drives, with incompletions and penalties such as false starts and two men in motion causing drives to stall. Plentywood's taller receiver corps overmatched Broadus'...
Zeason Schaffer, 2024 Broadus Grad, was named last week as the Mon-Dak volleyball player of the week. The MCC freshman outside hitter helped her team go 4-0 in early October, with two conference wins. Schaffer leads the conference in kills, laying down 391 kills, and is 7th in the country in NJCAA Division II volleyball. The Mon-Dak Athletic Conference consists of seven volleyball teams from Montana and North Dakota, including Miles Community College, The ND State College Of Science in W...
In the first meeting of the season against Forsyth, the Lady Hawk volleyball squad had a challenging time against their Rosebud County rivals, with the teams trading blows and the match going to five sets and Broadus coming back to win in the fifth set by the skin of their teeth. The second time around, last Thursday in Forsyth, the Lady Hawks were much more focused, according to Head Volleyball Coach Monica Smith. That increase in focus helped lock in the team's defense and offense, and helped...
The Broadus cross country team competed in their final regular meet of the year, last Thursday in Joliet. The Oylear brothers, Sean & Christian, crossed the finish line nearly together, running a 19:16 and 19:18 respectively. Broadus Head Coach Ashley Emmons told us she emphasized the psychological side of running to the boys, to help them as they look toward State, this week in Missoula. Bradyn Stoddard-Terrill was still out this week due to lingering concerns of injury development, but he had previously qualified for State (as had the rest...
