At Bigfork, Trojan tennis split contests with Bigfork and Mission. The boys continued their winning ways as top singles player Michael Goe went undefeated and No. 2 singles player Dominic Chiaverini also won a pair of matches.
Kellie Lundin, half of Troy’s top double duo, missed weekend action due to illness. Assistant Coach Nancy Prieve said she expects Kellie to return in time to play with her sister, Katie, when Troy travels to Mission on Friday.
The event was planned to include Libby and Cut Bank, but both teams pulled out.

Libby's conference leading rusher puts team on his back
Announcing Libby Loggers football games this year is a predictable endeavor. With the passing game aching from the absence of graduated All-State quarterback Jared Winslow, the Loggers are a committed ground team.
