On Saturday, Jan. 28, the Savage Horsemen wrestling team hosted a five-team mixer at the Plains High School. The five teams attending the mixer were Arlee, Mission/Charlo, Superior, Libby and Plains/Hot Springs.
The Savage Horsemen had 14 wins and eight losses. While no team scores were kept for the mixer, individual scores on how each wrestler did were maintained. The following wrestlers finished the mixer with two wins and no losses: Daniel Uli (120-pound weight class), Josiah Vanderwall (126), Austin Stafford (132), James Detienne (152) and Kane Lawson (160).
“All of the kids worked very hard and are steadily making improvements,” coach Kenny Marjerrison said. “We are looking forward to a good divisional weekend and qualifying as many kids to state in Billings as possible.”
The Savage Horsemen wrestling team will be traveling to Arlee for the Divisional tournament on Feb 4.

Special election could cost thousands
The special election to replace former Montana Rep. Ryan Zinke has already begun to make big news in Montana. The financial impact to each county could affect already tight budgets cause even more challenging adjustments for the remainder of 2017. Many of the counties have created their budgets for this fiscal year and have very little room for major changes or extra expenses that they had not been taking into consideration in the previous year. The special election is the unexpected expense that Sanders County has to work on in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
Plains Horsemen and Trotters hoping for successful track season
The Horsemen and Trotters have a team of boys and girls that could very well surprise many competing against them this year. Even though the team had five seniors graduate last year and go on to compete in colleagiate track this year throughout the western region, Plains remains a contender to place high in track this year. There are nine boys on the track team this year, eight more than the previous year. Some of the members of the team are new to track, as Head Coach Denise Montgomery discussed during a recent practice.
