The Polson Pirates and the Mission Bulldogs both won their second games of the season this past weekend. In Class C, Arlee defeated two county rivals to extend their win streak to seven.

TER 62 Flathead HS 69

Last Tuesday, Two Eagle River hosted the Flathead Home School Crusaders. Flathead jumped out to a four point lead, then extended it to 17 at halftime. However, Two Eagle made a great comeback in the second half. In the third, the Eagles were down by 20 points, then thanks to a few Wunderlich three-pointers, brought the lead back down to nine going into the fourth quarter. In the fourth, TER was able to score on some fast break layups, and eventually had the game within five points with 25 seconds left. However, a foul and technical foul by the Eagles led to points and possession by the Crusaders, and they took the game 69-62.

Casadi Wunderlich had 27 points for the Eagles, including five three’s. Shay Andrews added 13, and Kristan Hewankorn and Trya Michel each had six.

In the second half, Anaconda got into a little bit of foul trouble, and the Maidens took advantage, widening their lead to nine points going into the fourth. At one point, the Maidens were up by 11 points, but Anaconda came back to make things interesting. It wouldn’t be enough, and Ronan took the win, 65-59.

Polson 43

Stevensville 56

By John Heglie

At Stevensville, the host Lady Yellowjackets stung the visiting Lady Pirates with an early double digit deficit as Stevensville churned out their highest scoring outing of the season. Polson slightly outscored their opponent in the second half, but couldn’t make further incursions into the deficit despite their second highest scoring tally of the season. Polson point productivity in this game would have been enough to win two other games earlier this season as well as half their contests last year.

Post Nichole Lake netted a new varsity career high and could have crested two dozen, but zebra stripes negated a pair of scores when they were erased by offensive charging infractions rather than viewed as defensive blocking fouls that would have sent her to the line for “and-one” opportunities. Team LP also dished out a dozen assists as well as pilfered a baker’s dozen precious possessions. Polson (1-6) hosts visiting 7B Libby on Saturday.

Polson- 11 4 12 16 – 43

Stevi- 17 13 8 18 – 56

POLSON – Nichole Lake 8 4-5 20, Breanna Clarke 2 2-4 6, Marlee Congdon 2 0-0 6, Makenna Weltz 2 0-1 5, Mollie Fisher 2 0-0 4, Kaelyn Smith 2.

STEVENSVILLE – Payton Tillotson 15, Makayla Davids 12, Mariah Hinson 10, Deanna Blair 6, Megan Pendergast 5, Ashlynn Harrington 5, Angel Richards 3.

Polson 44 Libby 32

At Polson, the visiting 7B Lady Loggers and the host Lady Pirates were locked in a teeter-totter tilt that see-sawed back and forth throughout the first half. Polson initially opened with an 8-0 run, but Libby rallied to knot up the score to close the first quarter. The first segment of the third quarter began with a trio of ties before Polson gained some separation with a bucket followed by a succession of three triples in a row from Marlee Congdon which vaulted the Lady Pirates ahead by double digits entering the final frame. Libby would carve into the deficit with a trio of successive deuces to shave the Polson lead down to single digit territory. But a timely triple by Lauren Lefthand followed by a devastating deuce from Congdon would seal the second win of the season for the host team.

Libby’s Shannon Reny turned in a double-double with 14 points along with at least ten boards. Polson’s Lauren Lefthand led all scorers with 18 points, followed by Marlee Congdon with 11. Senior Lady Pirate guard Brenna Clarke dished out an impressive nine assists. Polson (0-2, 2-6) traveled to face the Western AA Glacier Lady Wolfpack on Tuesday, January 19, in Kalispell, then travel to Whitefish on Saturday.

Charlo 40 Arlee 47

On Thursday night, Arlee traveled to Charlo for a 14C conference matchup. In a rivalry that dates back many years, Arlee jumped out to a 10 point lead quickly. Using a full court press and a trapping half court defense, Arlee kept Charlo scoreless until 1:30 left in the first quarter. Unfortunately for the Scarlets, they would be playing without starter Bryndle Goyins, who went out early in the game after she collided with Charlo’s Ashley Tryon.

Going into the second quarter, Arlee held a 14-3 lead. However, Charlo, who had only lost one game prior to the Thursday night game, wasn’t going to go away easily. Freshman Tyrah Hammond came in for the Vikings and got things going, scoring six of her nine points. The Scarlets continued their scrappy defense behind Becca Whitesell and Carly Hergett, who each had a number of steals for their team. Charlo was able to outscore Arlee 15-9 in the second quarter to make the score 18-23 at halftime in favor of the Scarlets.

In the second half, Charlo stuck with Arlee for a few minutes before a few miscommunications by the Vikings led to the Scarlets pulling ahead to a 12 point lead. Bad free throw shooting by the Scarlets kept the Vikings in the game, and with 3:42 left in the fourth quarter, the Scarlets’ lead was back down to eight points. Even though Arlee was much taller, the Vikings were able to capitalize on offensive rebounds. Unfortunately for Charlo, they weren’t able to finish off their comeback, and Arlee won the game by seven points, 47-40. Contributing to holding off the Vikings was freshman Alyssia Vanderburg, who scored eight of her 19 points in the fourth quarter.

Also scoring in double digits was Carly Hergett, who had 12 points. For the Vikings, Cheyenne Nagy led with 12. Mikaylan Roylance, who had a great game, scored nine, as did freshman Tyrah Hammond.

After the game, both coaches were pleased with their teams’ performances and how far they have come since the beginning of the season.

Charlo- 3 15 5 17 - 40

Arlee- 14 9 12 12 - 47

CHARLO- Cheyenne Nagy 12, Mikaylan Roylance 9, Brooklyn Foust 2, Ashley Tryon 2, Tyrah Hammond 9, Sakoya Gaustad 2, Skyler Frame 4.

Hot Springs 12

On Friday, Charlo looked to rebound after a tough loss to Arlee the night before. The Vikings hosted Hot Springs, who haven’t won a game yet this season. Charlo jumped out to a 19-2 lead in the first quarter and didn’t look back, going up 29-5 at half. The Vikings didn’t allow more than five points by Hot Springs in any quarter, and took the win 55-12. Leading Charlo in scoring was Skyler Frame, who had 12. Mikaylan Roylance had 10, as did Tyrah Hammond. The Vikings take on St. Regis Friday and host Plains on Saturday for their senior night and a special throwback event.

 BOYS BASKETBALL

After a tough loss in the first game of the season, the Arlee Warriors are looking better than ever. The season started out while some of the players were still in football, gearing up for the state championship game. They jumped right into basketball practice without a break. Since that time, they’ve only been getting stronger. Last Thursday, the Warriors traveled to Charlo to take on the third place team in the district. They put up 97 points in that game, winning by over 30 points. The next night, the Two Eagle boys traveled to Arlee, hoping for an upset. Well, they weren’t going to find it in Arlee. Coach Zanen Pitts let the Warriors loose, and they put up 121 points. They pressed the whole first half, playing like they were out to prove a point. The game ended on a two-handed dunk by Aaron Perry that put the cherry on top for the Warriors, who have won nine straight, averaging almost 84 points a game and defeating their opponents by an average of 47 points. Other than their five point loss to Valley Christian to start the year, the Warriors’ closest game this year was a 15 point win over Plains in December.

Last Tuesday, TER hosted the Flathead Home School Crusaders. The Crusaders got out to a quick start, making some steals and taking a 23-11 lead into the second quarter. The Eagles kicked it into high gear in the second quarter, never losing their confidence. They put up 22 points and held Flathead to 12 to make the score 33-35 in favor of the Crusaders at halftime. In the second half, Flathead adjusted and got into a rhythm and the Crusaders were able to extend their lead to eight after three. In the fourth Flathead buckled down on defense, allowing only six points by the Eagles. They went on to win the game 63-50.

Last week, Mission took on the undefeated Class C Valley Christian Eagles. The Bulldogs struggled in the first half, and were down by 18 going into the third.

Polson 73

Stevensville 36

By John Heglie

At Polson, the host Pirates swarmed over the visiting Yellowjackets last Tuesday to secure their third nonconference victory and fourth win in a row. Stevensville was playing without the services of James Fry, who would have helped tighten up some of the scoring disparity, but would not have changed the outcome of this game.

Matt Rensvold and Julian Jones combined for 40 points, while Wyatt Ducharme and Jones collaborated to rake in 16 boards. The game featured some slick ball handling skills that included highlight reel-like spin moves inside the paint by Payton Lefthand, J’von Niemeyer and Jones.

Polson 67 Libby 48

At Polson, the visiting 7B Loggers played the host Pirates tight through a quarter and a half, holding a narrow lead through the duration of a frame after a pair of ties. The Pirates trailed by as much as five points at one juncture, but took over the lead for good 23-21 with about three minutes remaining before the half. Thereafter, they would continue to gain separation. Five triples by Ryggs Johnston and the 6-6 post presence of Erik Lauer were simply not enough to offset a career high night by Matt Rensvold, who dropped a dozen deuces as well as drained his final six free-throws. Guards Julian Jones and J’von Niemeyer collaborated on dishing out a dozen assists, while the guard corps along with Payton Lefthand pilfered almost a dozen possessions from Libby ball handlers.

Charlo 52 Hot Springs 70

After a tough game against Arlee the night before, Charlo was looking to rebound against Hot Springs. The Vikings started out slow, going down by 10 in the first quarter. Hot Springs kept on the pressure and went up 47-24 at halftime. Charlo would outscore Hot Springs in each of the next two quarters, but it wasn’t enough for a comeback, and the Vikings dropped their second straight game 52-70. Tyson Petticrew led the Vikings with 24 and Lander Smith had eight for the team.
