Things are going well on the basketball court with the 3-1 Plains Trotters but they could be better, coach Eddie Fultz says. The Trotters moved to 3-1 in non-conference play last week in a pair of home games, sending Valley Christian back to Missoula on the short end of a 48-20 score Friday and then losing to Seeley-Swan 48-16 Saturday. Plains was to have opened District 14C conference play at Charlo Tuesday but results of that contest were not available at press time. The Trotters do not play...
Fast breaks where the ball does not touch the floor are music to a basketball coach’s ears. Making sweet music with several such fast breaks which ended up with the pumpkin stretching the strings of the net for easy shots, the Hot Springs Savage Heat strummed out an easy 68-16 win over Victor in Hot Springs Saturday. Coach Richard Jackson was duly impressed with his 3-0 Savage Heat girls for the way they turned fast break opportunities into easy baskets, with no dribbling in between passes. “Rebound, outlet pass, pass, pass, score…” he said. ...
They build excitement. And they are coming to a town near you real soon. The Thompson Falls Lady Hawks hit the road for a pair of games against Northern B teams last weekend and scored two impressive wins, downing Conrad 67-59 in Conrad Friday and stopping Choteau 59-45 in Choteau Saturday. Now 2-1 in non-conference play and rightfully feeling pretty good about themselves, coach Chadd Laws and his Lady Hawks will open their home schedule Thursday night hosting Class A Libby in another non-con tilt. The Libby game will be Thompson Falls’ f...
The Horsemen are playing with unbridled basketball passion. Seeming to want to go full tilt at all times last week, the sometimes impatient Plains boys split home games, shading Valley Christian 66-41 Friday but falling to Seeley-Swan 47-44 Saturday. Now 3-1 overall, coach Tyrel Allen wants his Horsemen to slow down and smell the roses – or at least slow down and appreciate the opportunities they are given. The Horsemen were set to open District 14C conference play at Charlo Tuesday but results...
Shaking off the cobwebs from one of the longest road trips of the season, the cold-shooting Thompson Falls boys dropped games to Conrad 66-48 Friday and Choteau 60-56 Saturday. “We came out flat against Conrad and dug ourselves a deep hole we couldn’t get out of,” coach Jake Mickelson said. “The boys responded well Saturday though, and nearly knocked off a very good Choteau squad.” Falling behind 19-10 after one quarter against Conrad, the Hawks lost contact with the Cowboys after the home boys rode out to a 22-7 win of the second quarter, maki...
New players showed up and the improvement continued for the Hot Springs Savage Heat boys last week as the Heat concluded the proceedings with a 51-21 win over Victor in Hot Springs Saturday. Now 2-1 on the season, the Heat will wrap up play for 2019 hosting Seeley-Swan Friday in another non-conference game. In his first season at the helm, coach Scott Fredrickson is happy with what his team – which picked up three new players last week – is giving him. “The kids are playing hard, we made some progress last week,” he said. “Our defensive...
Noxon’s a no-no this week. Those expecting to see how the Noxon girls and boys basketball teams performed last week on these pages are sure to be disappointed as neither team played a game. Looking to make up for lost time, both Noxon teams have two games on tap this week, the Devils were to have visited neighboring Clark Fork, Idaho for games with the Wampus Cats Tuesday, and will be hosting Two Eagle River Friday. Originally scheduled for Saturday, the boy-girl doubleheader at Troy has been rescheduled for Feb. 6. Results of the Clark Fork g...
