Feb. 25 – On this day in Montana
history in 1906 the high school boys from Billings played the boys from
Sheridan Wyoming in basketball. Under a headline “Sheridan Again Defeated,” the
Billings Gazette showed that rivalry has always been a part of sports. In
addition to saying “pride goeth before the fall,” the newspaper wrote: “The
Sheridan basketball team will go home this morning with two large goose eggs in
their little basket that they brought up with them in which to convey the
scalps of the local basketball players.”
Today they call that locker room poster material.
