  1. Brady Lewellen Sparks Glacier Baseball’s State Tournament Run

    17H AGO

    Brady Lewellen Sparks Glacier Baseball’s State Tournament Run

    Glacier baseball is headed to the Class AA State Tournament and Brady Lewellen helped deliver the moment that sent the Wolfpack to Butte! We spotlight Lewellen after a clutch performance in Glacier’s dramatic 7-6 postseason win over Missoula Hellgate. The Wolfpack outfielder made his impact early with a sacrifice fly RBI, then ignited Glacier’s momentum-shifting fifth inning with a leadoff triple that energized the dugout and flipped the game. That rally helped Glacier erase a deficit and reclaim control in a high-pressure playoff battle packed with momentum swings, big defensive plays, and late-game drama. The Wolfpack held off Hellgate in the final inning to secure their place in the Class AA State Baseball Tournament, where they now prepare to face Great Falls CMR in the opening round at Legends Stadium in Butte. With postseason intensity rising, Lewellen delivered one of his biggest performances of the year when Glacier needed it most. If the Wolfpack carries this momentum into state, they could be a dangerous team to watch. Northwest Montana deserves strong news reporting. Your donation helps continue work like this possible.

    Poster Player of the Week | Whitefish tennis' Jack Oehlerich stays undefeated

    Whitefish tennis is heading into the postseason with momentum—and Jack Oehlerich continues to lead the charge. Oehlerich remained undefeated this season with a commanding 6-0, 6-1 victory over Flathead’s Rowen Alexander as the Bulldogs swept the Braves in a rivalry matchup at FVCC. Known for his consistency and mental toughness, Oehlerich has become one of the most dependable players in Montana high school tennis. His approach has been simple but effective: stay aggressive, stay focused, and never allow opponents back into matches. That mindset was on full display again Tuesday as Whitefish continued its strong run toward divisionals and state. Northwest Montana deserves strong news reporting.

    Glacier’s Brady Buckmaster Saves Crosstown Thriller at the Plate

    For this week's Poster Player, we spotlight Glacier baseball’s Buckmaster after a game-saving defensive play helped secure a dramatic 7-6 rivalry win over Flathead at Griffin Field. With the game tightening late under the lights, a routine fly ball turned chaotic when it disappeared in the night sky—but Buckmaster stayed locked in, making a clutch tag at home plate to preserve the Wolfpack lead. The rivalry matchup had everything: momentum swings, late-game pressure, big hits, and defensive plays that changed the outcome. Glacier leaned on a gritty performance from Kyler Croft on the mound and timely offense from Ryne Gillette, but Buckmaster’s awareness and execution in a critical moment helped define the night.

    Glacier’s Ava Grady closes the door with strikeouts | Poster Player of the Week

    When the game was on the line, Ava Grady didn’t blink. For this week's Poster Player of the Week, we spotlight Glacier softball’s clutch closer after a high-pressure performance in a 1-0 pitcher's duel against Missoula Big Sky. Entering late, Grady delivered exactly what the Wolfpack needed—shutting down the Eagles with five strikeouts over the final two innings, including the game-ending punchout. With zero margin for error and a runner threatening in the seventh, Grady stayed composed, attacking the zone and finishing the job to secure the shutout victory. Backed by a strong start from Olivia Warriner and timely defense, Glacier proved it can win tight, postseason-style games against top competition. Northwest Montana deserves strong news reporting.
