What do C.S. Lewis, Billy Graham and Big Sky’s Kegan Babick have in common? They all attende Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, which Kegan’s mother Kim said is the “Harvard of Christian schools,” during her son’s recent letter of intent signing at Lone Peak High School.

The fifth annual Shedhorn Skimo race was held at the Big Sky Resort on Saturday, March 16. Ski Mo means ski mountaineering (formerly known as Rando or Randonnée racing) and is a race which tests the stamina, fitness, climbing ability and ski talents of the racers.

Wins against Home School, Anderson and Monforton during the Bozeman Rural Schools Championship on Feb. 25 were the icing on an already delicious cake for the undefeated Ophir Middle School girls 7^thand 8^thgrade Miner basketball team.

In the great microcosm of life – sports – Lone Peak Big Horn varsity boys and girls basketball players learned the attributes they were meant to learn: hard work; resilience; determination. 

Their record is not perfect, but the lessons learned should make them better adults. 

The ladies from the Big Sky Ski Team demonstrated their strength and winning ways in an impressive weekend of ski racing at the Lone Peak Speed Series Giant Slalom held February 9-10 at Big Sky resort on the Hangman course.

It’s safe to say no one in the “know” when it comes to Big Horns basketball was looking forward to the games against the Manhattan Christian Eagles. One parent, who wanted to remain anonymous – said, “Maybe we’ll beat them – one of these years.”
