BROWNING — Polson’s Rylee Taylor-Jefferson poured in 29 points, including the last five of the game to lift the Lady Pirates over Browning 45-44 in Northwest A girls basketball action. 

Taylor-Jefferson's heroics came after Shaylee Heavy Runner hit a three to put Browning up 44-40 with 1:35 left. The Polson guard hit a three with just under a minute left, then — after Browning missed a shot — hit a breakaway layup off a feed from Olivia Ramirez with 13 seconds remaining.  

Browning then missed a contested final shot. Heavy Runner led the Lady Indians with 14 points, including two threes.
