  • COLUMN: "K"

    Jack H. Smith, Ledger Publisher|Jan 23, 2019

    'm a little late to the party for a "New Year's" column, but there are certainly some things I would like to see unfold a little bit different in 2019. Don't get me wrong, I'm completely happy with my life, I would just like to see few minor things changed in 2019. I would love to say that the year will see people start using their phones a little less, but I know that is never going to happen and I'm sure I'll probably once again miss a few huge touchdowns or three pointers because I was taking...

  • Wrestlers finish 4th at Great Falls Duals

    Jack H. Smith, Whitehall Ledger|Jan 23, 2019

    The Whitehall High School wrestling team went 4-2 and finished in fourth place out of 16 teams at last week's Great Falls Central Duals Tournament. Assistant coach Steve Sacry said five of the top 10 B/C Schools in the state were at the tournament, and while there is always room to improve, the team wrestled well. He added for various reasons, three wrestlers were unable to travel and this is quite a handicap for this type of dual tournament. In pool action Friday, the Trojans defeated Deer...
