Trans people belong in sports. Just like everyone should have the chance to be on a team.
My column on the NAIA transgender policy that will hurt student-athletes, plus the self-imposed silence from administrators that speaks volumes.
Now if only they could figure out a way not to have Cat-Griz the same weekend as every state championship game. Now those four games on Saturday and the one Friday get even more overlooked. That’s what should be talked about this week. It’s far past time to fix this!
I usually spend early March covering state hoops but this year, I'm gonna be a little busy...
My wife and I are expecting
baby No. 2 and cloud 9 doesn't do this feeling justice.
I'm 100x happier than the last two Michigan wins over Ohio State.
Can't wait to be a dad again.
He told the truth. It was an ass-kicking. Wish more coaches would quit with the coach speak. Don't like it? Do something about it.
Nothing worse than pretending this isn't a rivalry.
Incredible photo by Mike Clark of the Billings Gazette. My favorite part: Jamey Michelotti’s face. If that isn’t the face of someone dead set on tackling a teammate to celebrate I don’t know what is.
The top boys high school athlete from our coverage area could only be Parker Johnston, the football and basketball player of the year. More on him and the others who stood out in the 2019-20 athletic season.

If you were wondering about the guy with the Montana Flag at the World Cup earlier this week, his name is Max Croes and he's a true American Outlaw.

You can take a Michelotti out of Butte, but you can you really take the Butte out of a Michelotti?

It was an honor and a privilege to cover this Capital football team this season. Championship talent and a championship culture. It was impressive from start to finish.
I learned from Ricky Bobby's dad, if you're not first, you're last. But after years of work and self doubt, it still felt pretty good to have this waiting on my desk tonight.
Being in high school offers enough challenges, but here's how
@c_g_bullock
has handled being a three-sport athlete, as well as everything else while her dad,
@GovernorBullock
is running to be president of the United States.

You'll never meet a cheer coach quite like Sue Bannon and here's the story of how she has spent the last 20 transforming Capital cheerleading.
"She's made it more than just cheering on the sidelines."

Scout Allen goes down in his last match. Heck of an effort. Raw emotion and pride. That’s what it’s all about. He still got the “Butte” one last time.

Helena's Kaden Huot has put together a record-breaking career at Helena High and now he's got the opportunity to add to his already impressive legacy.

Dani Bartsch has done everything in her high school basketball career (including winning a state title), but she hasn't played in a state championship game. She's hoping that changes this weekend in Great Falls.

Paolo Salminen wins another state title and clinches the team crown for Billings West. Golden Bears will win first state AA wrestling title since 1994.

And with that, the high school sports season is in the books. Been a wild year. Thanks to all the athletes, coaches, readers, and everyone else. Ready for a little vacation, a vacation of sleep and eating at normal times. ✌️
The two-QB system has worked like a charm for Capital this year as both Joey Michelotti and Hudsen Grovom have put their egos aside and also, made their fair share of plays this season.

Capital’s Cole Graham has dreamed of having his picture up on the wall in the Bruins wrestling room alongside the other state champions and Saturday night he cemented himself among CHS wrestling greats.

It's been eight years since Helena Capital won a state title, but with one of the best QB/WR combos in the state, the Bruins have high hopes for 2019.

Helena sophomore Logan Todorovich is a state champion long jumper! Her sister Madi finished third and she jumped 18-06 to win the Class AA girls title.

I've always believed in the power of positive thinking and after talking with Tristyn Gilliam and those that were closest to him throughout his recovery, I believe in it more than ever.
Here's his story.

Straight up,
@Hayden24Ferg
is one of the most impressive student-athletes I have ever met. All-State football, solid hooper, 4.0 GPA, 35 ACT. Well, I caught up with him for 5 questions and asked him how he does it.

Caroline Bullock’s kill seals the win for Bengals. They take it 3-1 and Helena High will bring home hardware! Also still alive for state title. Bengals vs CMR at 10 am.

Helena native Dani Bartsch made five of those triples.
She also notched her fourth double double in the last five games. She had 15 and 14, plus 4 blocks tonight, 3 steals and two assists.
Also made 15 3s in this five game stretch (3 per game).
Guess Montana kids can play.
Quinn Belcher is fresh off the heels of an all-state campaign in baseball and is looking forward to his final season of high school football. I caught up with him for a Q and A after fall camp opened this week.
