After a coronavirus-related hiatus last year, an abridged Tour Divide once again brought cyclists racing down the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route through the Blackfoot Valley, en route to the Mexican border.

About 300 miles shorter than the regular Tour Divide, it follows the Gr...
In past years, as the third weekend in August approached, Doug and Laurie Richards at the Wheel Inn would call businesses around town and the surrounding area to find out if they planned to sponsor a team in the annual Bob Purdy Co-ed Softball Tournament. Every year the Richards' sponsor the tournament, but this year finding the normal slate of 16 teams for the tournament was far from difficult. In fact, the tournament added teams for the first time. "This year we ended up...
"A young team having fun" is how Coach Kurtis summed up the Saturday night volleyball match of his Varsity Lynx against perennial powerhouse Seeley Lake. Three new freshman hitters are finding their place among the Lady Lynx volleyball family, steered by veteran senior co-captains Jenna Templeton and Andrea LeManna. It takes awhile to unite as a family, but after a good showing against Granite on Thursday, a contest where the Lynx won some sets, the building blocks for future...
The Lincoln Lynx Volleyball team played their first home game of the season Friday, Sept. 3 against the Granite High Prospectors from Philipsburg. The first set of the game saw the Lincoln team fall to the Prospectors 10-25, but a rally by the young team that began late in the first set carried on into the second, with Lincoln scoring the first point. Although the set ended with Granite beating the Lynx 25-16, the Lincoln ladies kept up the pressure in the third set, earning...
Playing through a schedule that had the team playing three contests in one week, the tired Lady Lynx faced a large bench of Missoula Valley Christian Eagles on Thursday, Sept. 9 at home in Lincoln. A Lady Lynx win in the first set, 25 – 19, seemed to surprise the older Eagle gals who had been looking for an easier victory.

The last scheduled volleyball match of the year for the Lincoln Little Lynx on Oct.15 was canceled by the Drummond Lady Trojans because of their exposure to COVID-19. But coach Danielle Fry didn't want to end the season on such a disappointing note, so she scheduled a Friday night shoot out between her young, skilled and enthusiastic Junior High players vs. the older, terrified-of-being-embarrassed Moms and Dads of the Lady Lynx. To keep the 'players vs. parents' theme going,...
The Friday home court Lynx win over Granite County might have been called "slice & dice" or "run and gun" by Coach Blubaugh, but when the final buzzer sounded, the result was a 53 - 22 rout over the Philipsburg Prospectors junior high men by the young Little Lynx. The Lynx led the contest from the first basket, leaving the Prospectors in the dust at half time 36 - 10. "Big and Tall" power ball was played by the three heavy hitters: Kayden Tybo, Roegun Dietz and Josh Rios, alth...
There's no nail-biting, tense show-down in the current win streak of junior high Little Lynx boys basketball games this month, but there are plenty of entertaining moments to entice the fans to come out in support of the team. The "Big and Tall" club of Roegun Dietz, Kayden Tybo and Josh Rios was bigger and taller in the Nov. 18 crushing defeat of Drummond, posting a 58 - 31 win against a visiting squad that fielded twice the number of players as the young home team. Ahead at...

Winter's here and varsity basketball is in full swing, giving everyone who's looking to avoid Christmas shopping a place to hide out.

The Lynx men suited up six players which gave Coach Shane Brown a lonely bench of one to rotate his tired team. The Blackhawks had seven on their...
