Northern interviews Havre volleyball coach
HAVRE (AP) - Havre High volleyball coach Bill Huebsch interviewed for the same position at Montana State-Northern and activities director Mark Samson has said he probably won't be bringing any more candidates to campus.
“I've talked to other applicants, I've done some informal interviews and phone interviews and I've talked to people about those applicants,” Samson said Tuesday. “We've had this job open the entire time since Greg Ryan left, so as far as we're concerned, Bill Huebsch is the best man for the job.”
Samson said he expected a hiring announcement soon, because the new coach will need to begin scheduling, recruiting and preparing for spring practice.
Northern's volleyball team has posted a 14-55 record over the past three seasons, two under Greg Ryan and one under interim coach Steve Leggitt.
The Skylights went 2-19 during the 2008 season. Northern's only wins were 3-2 decisions over Montana Western, which had a 3-22 record.
Huebsch, who has coached at Havre High for 16 years and led the Blue Ponies to two Class A state championships, said he would like to return the volleyball team at his alma mater to prominence in the Frontier Conference.
Bozeman hosts college wrestling match
BILLINGS (AP) - Bozeman native Tyrel Todd and his Michigan teammates will face Oregon State in an NCAA wrestling match at Montana State University Friday night.
Michigan coach Joe McFarland says in the past the Wolverines have ventured to the hometowns of other prominent members of the team.
“I've had a lot of success with Montana boys,” McFarland said. “Pat Owen (of Polson), Kyle Smith (of Butte) and now Tyrel. All those guys have gone through our program and have been captains here.”
McFarland said there are a lot of people who would like to see Montana State add wrestling and hope Friday's NCAA match might increase that interest.
“This will be a good chance for us to showcase college wrestling,” McFarland said. “That's my purpose here. Not only to have a great outing in Montana, but also so maybe in the future they will add the sport.”
The NCAA match takes place after the early rounds of the annual two-day Tom LeProwse wrestling tournament, which is expected to draw 30 teams from across Montana and Wyoming. Competition at the high school tournament is expected to be completed in time for wrestlers and fans to attend The Battle in the Big Sky at MSU.
Todd, a three-time Class AA state champion at Bozeman High, is ranked third in the InterMat poll at 197 pounds. He is 4-0 with two pins this season, but he hasn't wrestled since a knee injury forced him to withdraw from a tournament in Las Vegas in early December.
Todd has a 100-27 record with the Wolverines and finished third at the NCAA tournament last season.
Oregon State's roster includes two-time Class AA state champion Ty Vinson of Great Falls High, who was named the outstanding wrestler at last year's LeProwse tournament.
Knievel jumps Las Vegas volcano
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Here's a Robbie Knievel recipe for a happy - but not necessarily healthy - New Year's Eve: a ramp, a volcano and a clearing on the Las Vegas Strip.
The son of the late Evel Knievel rung in 2009 by launching the height of a manmade volcano perched in front of The Mirage hotel-casino on a motorcycle for a television special.
The 200-foot high jump made Knievel appear to jump over the volcano on television, though he actually jumped next to it as it spewed a fireball under him for live spectators. Fireworks shot into the air as Knievel landed on the Strip in an area cleared of revelers earlier by police.
