Athlete of the Week
Kylie Richter Lake County Leader | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 9 years, 2 months AGO
Senior Harold Yocum has made some extremely important plays in the last two of Arlee’s playoff games. Against Wibaux, Yocum, a senior, had an interception during the third quarter on Wibaux’s five yard line, stopping a Longhorn drive that may have led to a touchdown. This past weekend against Twin Bridges, Yocum had another big defensive play, this time in the fourth quarter. With eight minutes to play, Yocum had a pass practically fall into his hands. He made the interception and took off toward the Arlee goal line, setting up a touchdown run by Pat BigSam shortly after.
Yocum, who has scored six touchdowns this season, makes big plays in most games. His stats are less important than the presence he brings to the field as someone who can make big impact plays.
Yocum also wrestles and competes in track and field.

The first-annual Paddle for Clean Water took place on a cool Sunday morning at Flathead Lake’s King’s Point. Over 100 people participated in the event, which aimed to raise money for the Flathead Lakers, a conservation organization in Polson. Even with the chilly start, nobody backed out. In fact, they had a few extras. One of the organizers, Dana Johnston, said she was happy with the turnout.
