The Broadus Lady Hawks went into the District Tournament last Wednesday in Miles City knowing their best shot at moving on to Divisionals was to beat Wibaux in the first round. The Lady Longhorns, seeded 5th going into the tourney, had given the 4th seeded Lady Hawks fits in previous engagements, and Wibaux has a history of strong showings at tournaments. Broadus led throughout the first half, maintaining a narrow lead of 19-16 going into the locker rooms, but Wibaux steadily chipped away at...
The Broadus boys finished out their regular season as conference co-champions with Melstone, after losing to Melstone last Friday, and beating Terry on Saturday. With both Melstone and Broadus finishing with 13-1 conference records and each losing a game to the other, the teams were deemed co-champs. The last time the Broadus boys team were district champs was in 2002, when Cody Samuelson and Kevin Bird strolled down the court. When we spoke to Coach Mike Richards about breaking the 20 year...
On Thursday, February 10th, the Broadus Wrestlers headed out for Billings, escorted out of town by Cass Zimmer and his garbage truck. Broadus Wrestling Coach Frankie Schoonover told us that this was the first-time wrestling at State in Billings for all four wrestlers. Last season Dakota Holbrook won sixth at State at 170 lbs; that tournament was held in Shelby, and was a decidedly less glamorous affair compared to the lights and sounds of the all-class tournament at First Interstate Arena...
A large crowd was on hand at the Colstrip High School Gym last Friday and Saturday to watch grapplers from across Eastern Montana compete at the Eastern B/C Wrestling Divisional Tournament. Twenty seven teams were listed on the tournament roster, from as far away as Chester on the Hi-Line. With this year's conversion to a two-division system in Montana, as opposed to the four division system of the past, eight wrestlers from each weight class will now advance to state instead of the four from...
The Hawk boys team played three games last week, including two conference games and a unique game against Upton, Wyoming, at the college in Gillette on Saturday. On Thursday the team traveled to Custer to face Custer/Hysham, an up and coming team in the conference which Broadus Coach Mike Richards tells us is very well coached, adding in a Monday interview: "They are a tough team, and did a great job on defense against us. Custer/Hysham is also very patient on offense and eats up a lot of...
Broadus traveled to Hardin last Saturday for their last test before the Divisional Tourney, at the Battle on the Big Horn Tournament, featuring pool play matches between 16 total teams. In pool play, wrestlers were split into one of several different pools for their weight class, which meant that competition only took place between those in the pool, and no medals were awarded. One big plus side of this setup was the speed in which the tournament was completed. Broadus Head Wrestling Coach Frankie Schoonover told us that the tournament lasted...
Girls The Broadus girls team continued to fight through injuries as they traveled to Ekalaka last week for a conference game, with one of the Lady Hawks' leading scorers, Abi Krantz, now out for the season with a knee injury. Several other players were in various ambulatory states – some able to play partial games. Ekalaka's Lady Bulldogs had previously beaten Broadus here earlier in the month, winning 61-44. This time around the Lady Hawks struggled on offense in the first half, only putting up...
A crowd of local wrestling fans descended on the "Hawk Dome" last Thursday to see the Broadus High wrestlers take on opponents from across Southeastern Montana, at the Broadus Wrestling Mixer. Teams from Class B powerhouse Colstrip and Baker were on hand, as are the multi-year defending state Class C champion Circle Wildcat wrestling teams. Additionally, several lady wrestlers from the visiting schools demonstrated their skills on the mat during the mixer, following the formation of girls...

Girls With several players on the Broadus girls basketball players sidelined due to injuries, bench pl...
On Monday of this week, the Montana High School Association held their January meeting in Butte, where they voted on a variety of potential changes to high school sports. The changes most likely to affect sports in Broadus are the inclusion of a 35 second shot clock in basketball for the 2022-23 school year, and the inclusion of 8th grade participation in high school sports in all sports other than football. Broadus Athletic Director Mike Richards attended the meeting in Butte, and was among the group who led the push to include 8th grade...

The participants will go on to compete in the NFR Open, to be held this July in Colorado Springs,...
The Hawk Wrestlers traveled just up the road to the 63rd Annual Cowboy Invitational, last weekend in Miles City.

"The Cowboy lived up to its name as a tough meet," Schoonover told us during a...

The Lady Hawks played a great weekend of basketball, beating Wibaux on the road and Custer/Hysham at home on Saturday, while the Hawk boys Varsity squad continued their win streak, now sitting 10-0 on the season. Girls Broadus Coach Ashley Emmons knew they'd have to contain Wibaux's top scorers in order to capture a win last Friday in Wibaux County, along with ensuring their offense kept the Lady Longhorns on their toes. In a game where the lead see-sawed back and forth throughout the entire...
Six Broadus wrestlers made the trip to Hettinger, North Dakota last Friday for the Hettinger Classic, which featured teams from Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

The write ups below concern the games against Melstone and...
The Broadus boys and girls Varsity teams strutted their stuff at home against St. Labre on December 21st, in the final game before the Christmas break. St. Labre has been rebuilding after the school did not take part in the 2020-21 basketball season, which meant a number of students transferred away from the school to play at other schools. The Class B St. Labre teams had a number of players on the roster who were fairly new to the Varsity court, and both Broadus teams were able to go into the...
The boys and girls varsity basketball teams each went 2-0 last week, as they won at Plevna and handled Wibaux in the first home games in Broadus. Boys With aspirations for a return to the state tournament firmly in the plans, Broadus boys coach Mike Richards told us in an interview Monday that even though Broadus currently sits at 3-0 in conference play, they need to tighten up their game if they want to truly compete and win at that advanced level. "We need to clean up our game, as we looked...
The Broadus basketball teams started conference play last Saturday in Jordan, facing Garfield County's Mustang teams. The Broadus Girls Varsity team came out of the gates with the lead, and kept the score within one point into the second quarter, when Jordan started to pull away. "We played well defensively in the first half, but offensively we missed some shots that we really should've made," Broadus Head Coach Ashley Emmons commented on the first half, which finished up with Broadus down 11-21...
By JH Volleyball Coach Raevyn Slovek After finishing the high school season I was finally able to watch our games and take accurate stats. It was nice to revisit the season and remember why this group of young ladies make me so proud! COVID continued to show its ugly face to us this season. Several girls were placed in quarantine or sick throughout the season, but as individuals and as a team they pushed through and still made great improvements. We had quite a few that had never played the game before and I am quite impressed with how far...
With a team somewhat short in numbers due to illness of the non-COVID variety, Broadus Head Coach Frankie Schoonover took his team to Glasgow late last week to compete at the 26th Annual Scottie Invitational, with the moniker of Glasgow’s mascot, the Scottish Terrier. Broadus dualed against several teams including Billings Central’s JV, Fairfield, and Huntley Project on Friday, coming close to a win against Fairfield but ultimately falling to the other teams in the duals. “Glasgow was a tough tournament,” Schoonover said of the two day event....
The Broadus wrestling team took to the mats last Friday and Saturday at Sidney, for the Sidney Invitational. This meet features 32 teams from around Montana, the Dakotas, and states as far flung as Ohio and Washington. This season, the 11 member Broadus squad is large enough to compete in duals, both due to the number of kids out for wrestling and their weight distribution, which covers all but two of the weight classes. In the last few years, low recruitment numbers made for a large number of open weight classes, which meant the team gets...
The Broadus boys varsity basketball team won their first two games of the season, last weekend at the Shamrock Classic tournament at Sacred Heart in Miles City. Broadus boys Head Coach Mike Richards was a key component of returning the tourney to Sacred Heart – for a long period of time up through the 80s, Sacred Heart hosted an early season basketball tournament for surrounding teams, but Mike told us that sometime around when Sacred Heart shut down its high school, so went the tournament. R...
