The 13 C Clark Fork Lady Mountain Cats girls basketball team finished the season with just two losses — both coming at the Western C divisional tournament. On Thursday, the Cats were rewarded with all-conference honors.

Three Alberton-Superior girls — seniors Madison Lommen, Kenzie Mueller and Hailey Kelly — earned first-team all-conference honors in District 13C, with Lommen and Mueller getting all-state recognition. Madison Mask and Montanna Baughman were second-team all-conference selections, as well, for Alberton-Superior. Kelly also played in the Treasure State Classic Western C All-State Team game in Billings on March 17.

With the Mountain Cats boys team, freshman Bryan Mask made second-team all-conference.

With the St. Regis Lady Tigers, Anna Sanford made all-conference first-team in 14C, joined by Cory Brodmerkle of Noxon, Lindsay Laws of Plains and Noelle West of Arlee. Arlee’s Alyssia Vanderburg, Charlo’s Kaitlin Cox and Plains’ Jessica Thompson were all-state selections for the girls.

Bears seeking food sources ahead of hibernation

Montana is bear country. Black bears and grizzly bears are very active right now as denning season approaches. Bears are actively seeking food sources before winter, and residents are advised to clean up or secure food attractants, such as garbage, dog food, and livestock. Bears are particularly seeking out natural fruits, such as berries, and domestic fruits, such as apples and pears. Residents are advised to pick up any fallen fruit from their property to help prevent attracting a bear.
