Just to let you know I wasn’t ignoring the EWU Eagles basketball team. I’ve been following them and keeping track of their great season. I didn’t want to mention them when they were on a historic winning streak. But Saturday night their 18 game streak, 16 Big Sky victories, came to a halt at Idaho State in a loss to the Bengals. But the Eagles had already wrapped up the Big Sky championship and celebrated on their home court so the loss was just a reminder that there is still...

Congratulations to Jay Humphrey on his retirement from coaching, hopefully after the State 2A tournament in March. I’ve watched Jay coach on more than one occasion and he certainly had his passion for the game that he learned from his dad, Denny. I have fond memories of Jay’s time as a Bronco shooting guard in the days before the 3-point line was established. Jay had a really nice shot and could make things miserable for his opponent. Our paths crossed on several occasions, us...

The win secured a “home” game for the Broncos in the District 6/7 Crossover next weekend. The Broncos “Big Three” of Jayce Kelly, Chase Galbreath and Hunter Dinkins ran the show against the Dragons, who had no response to the ki...
Or not. Let’s just say that there were a few things that happened this weekend to make me wonder if our days are numbered going into the future. First of all that weird Chinese balloon the size of three school buses that hovered over Montana and several other states is a little bizarre. There were a few very observant people that noticed this thing in the air. I’m not sure who first saw it but I think it is a little strange that when the government talked about it they cal...
