Heat girls fall to Clark Fork, St. Regis

Playing their first weekend without one of their team leaders, the Hot Springs Savage Heat fell to Clark Fork 63-30 in Alberton Thursday and then to St. Regis 54-40 in Hot Springs Friday.

Christensen suffered an ACL injury was set to meet with her doctor early this week.

Coach Richard Jackson and the Heat have only one game on tap this week, Thursday at unbeaten Charlo.
