Good Afternoon Herder Fans! The boys JV game today in Columbus will only be 1/2 a game. Also, start times for the games will be earlier than advertised as the games will be starting as soon as the previous one ends. We wish everyone a safe drive over to the game! GO HERDERS!

Congratulations to our wrestlers who competed at the Great Falls Holiday Classic over the weekend. This is a huge tournament that features some of the best wrestling programs in the state. Gage McGillvray placed 8th in the 138lb weight class in the Varsity tournament. Trae DeSavuer won the JV tournament for the 138lb. weight class. Zane Cox, Oscar Toulouse, Taw Seemann and Charlie Seemann also had a great showing in the JV tournament. Our wrestlers will be back in action after the winter break when they host a dual meet in Livingston against Columbus and Laurel. Weigh in is at 4:00 pm on Tuesday, January 4th.

Hello Herder Fans! We have another update and schedule change for tomorrow's home basketball games. Whitehall has cancelled both the Boys and Girls JV games. Due to the inclement weather forecast for tomorrow, both Whitehall and SGHS have decided to adjust the start times for the varsity games to ensure we get the games in and so we can more safely accommodate those who will be traveling to and from the games. The Boys Varsity game will now start at 3:00 pm and the Girls Varsity game will now start at 4:30 pm. We hope to see everyone in the gym tomorrow afternoon! If you're unable to make it to the games in person, both games will be streamed on the NFHS website. GO HERDERS!

Congratulations to Roman Wagner for placing 3rd in the Lincoln-Douglas Debate during Saturday's Speech & Drama meet in Townsend! Way to go Roman!
