Girls Look Tough, Boys Holding Own Thru One-Third Of Season
FUNKY SPRING WEATHER had the Scobey track and field teams conducting warmups in the large gymnasium on Friday, April 19. Four days later on Tuesday the 23rd the Scobey/Wolf Point Froshmore Meet was scheduled to be held at Wolf Point’s Lowry Field starting at 3 p.m. It was most likely a go as the weather forecast was calling for a daytime high temperature of 64 degrees with abundant sunshine. — Leader Photo, mike

Report-Card Time

Not sure when reportcard time is at the Scobey School, but for the local high school track and field teams it is right now!

With the Montana High School Association season one-third of the way done, here is a look at how the local girls and boys have fared thus far.

Following a cancellation here and a postponement there, the Lady Spartans have been on a tear.

Their initial meet of the season occurred on Saturday, April 6, in the southwest corner of North Dakota at the Bowman County Invitational. They placed first with 124 points.
