Arlee

CHARLO – The Scarlets ended their regular season of play with a split — including a hard-hit loss at the hands of their 14C nemesis, the Charlo Lady Vikings — and an overall record of 14-4 and 10-2 in league play.

At Charlo on Thursday the Scarlets fell to the Lady Vikings 40-45, summing up the rival record tied at 1-1. Though Arlee took the lead after the first frame and posted an eight point win in the third, the Lady Vikings came out with a vengeance in the fourth quarter, snatching up the win in the final minutes of play.

Despite the loss, Bryndle Goyins and Carly Hergett posted double digits for the Scarlets as Goyins tossed in 13 and Hergett added 10.

Saturday the Scarlets found redemption with a 67-32 win over Two Eagle River at home after posting 51 of their 67 in the first half of play.

Hergett led all scorers with 17 and Goyins topped off the Scarlets big number with 12.

Though the Scarlets mirror the Lady Vikings conference record, Arlee will have the first seed advantage due to an earlier season draw. The District Tournament will kick off Thursday in Pablo.

Mission

RONAN – The Lady Bulldogs finished their tough season winless with a pair of losses to close out the Lady Bulldogs 0-17 run.

At Ronan on Friday the Lady Bulldogs tumbled in their last league game against Ronan’s Maidens, 23-63. Though the Lady Bulldogs put up a fight and rallied to make it a two-point difference for the third frame score, the damage was done and deficit was too far out of reach for the Lady Bulldogs to pull out a win.

Lady Bulldog Irene Lopez led her team with seven points. 

Saturday Mission played their last game at home, toughing out a close-but-no-prize loss against Troy, falling 31-46 to the Lady Trojans. While the Lady Bulldogs trailed by only two points after the first half, Troy’s scoring power was just too much for Mission to control, resulting in the non-conference final game tumble.

Lopez and Trinity Lewandowski combined to score the majority of Lady Bulldog points with Lopez netting 13 and Lewandowski adding 11. Jordyn Eichert chipped in seven as the only other scorer for the Lady Bulldogs.

Polson

RONAN – The Lady Pirates tumbled in a pair of defeats over the last week of play, bringing their season total to 2-14 with only a week of regular season play left to turn things around.

Thursday at Ronan the Lady Pirates felt the fury of Maiden power after a first quarter difference of 14 points. The Maidens continued to throw Polson into a hole through the third frame. A fourth quarter rally brought the Lady Pirates a few points closer but it wasn’t enough to climb out, sending the Lady Pirates back to the lake side of the county with the 37-54 loss.

Despite the loss the Lady Pirates posted eight scorers, led by Nichole Lake’s 15 points, who outscored both teams. Marlee Congdon added eight for the Lady Pirates.

At home Saturday, the Lady Pirates fell to the Lady Loggers 23-30. After leading throughout the first three quarters of play, Libby’s Lady Loggers rallied to run away with the Northwestern A win in the fourth frame, leaving the Lady Pirates with the conference loss.

Lake and Skyla Krantz combined for 17 of the Lady Pirates’ 23 points, with Lake posting 10 and Krantz chipping in seven.

The Lady Pirates will finish up their regular season with a game against Frenchtown on Thursday, and then will return home to play their final regular season game Saturday against Whitefish.

Ronan

RONAN – The Maidens finished up their dominating regular season with no exceptions to their crowning rule, adding two more victories to their 14-4 record, and another notch to end a perfect 8-0 in league.

Thursday the Maidens hosted the Lady Pirates and though the Lady Pirates gave Ronan a second half run, the Maidens came out on top 54-37.

Maiden Kendra Starkel blew by the Lady Pirates scoring 12 while Micalann McCrea and Alicia Camel each netted 11 apiece.

Saturday the Maidens played their final game at home with great crowd support as the Maidens rolled over Mission 63-23. After taking a striking 14-point lead in the first quarter of play, the Maidens continued the stomping throughout to finalize their dominating conference run.

Maiden Lee Camel finished up her regular season posting 16 on the board and leading both teams in high score. Alicia Camel chipped in 12.

The Maidens will head to Hamilton Friday to compete in District 6B tourney action.

Two Eagle River

ARLEE – The Lady Eagles finished up their regular season play with a loss against top-seeded Arlee, but with Districts right around the corner, the Lady Eagles have already proven regular season can take a turn in their favor after sneaking in and pulling surprise attacks on unsuspecting top-ranked teams.

Saturday, however, that was not the case as the Lady Eagles fell 32-67 to the Scarlets in Arlee. Though the Lady Eagles outscored the Scarlets in the second half of play, it was a little too late to overcome the Scarlets’ blow out first pair of frames.

Lady Eagle Casadi Wunderlich scored 12 while Tyra Michel chipped in 11. Wunderlich and Michel have led the Lady Eagles in points throughout the season, providing key leadership on the court. 

The Lady Eagles will head to the 14C District Tournament Friday at the Joe McDonald Center in Pablo to compete for a chance to finish in the top three that offers advancements into the Divisional Tournament.

Results

Two Eagle River 3 9 10 10 – 32

Arlee 26 25 11 5 – 67

Casadi Wunderlich 12, Tyra Michel 11, Jacquelyn Wright 6, Misty Mendoza 3.
