In this week’s episode, we learn about a tour of the southern border, provided by an anti-immigration group for two northwest Montana state lawmakers.

This week’s Sports now is going to be a bit of a rapid fire edition with a light week in the local sports scene while the spring sports season gears up for postseason play soon. We look at Columbia Falls Wildcats big weekend at the Sapa-Johnsrud baseball tournament that took place at Glacier Bank Park. Then we’ll keep the Wildcats theme going with some C-Falls softball action, after that we’ll get into crosstown tennis and some track and field action that took place in Whitefish before we move into the college sports news including a standout performance from a valley product at the Big Sky Track and Field Championships. After that we’ll close things out with some exciting Griz football news.
