Huntley Project’s Girls’ Basketball Team earned a berth at the Montana Class B State Basketball Tournament for the first time since 2009 when they became the divisional champs last week.
In their first matchup at the state tournament, HP overwhelmingly beat Wolf Point with the mercy rule kicking in in the fourth quarter. Then they were paired with a Bigfork team that had not lost a single game all season. Bigfork beat HP by a score of 56-47.
Huntley Project’s (HP) Lady Red Devils sought redemption in their rematch against Columbus, a team that had beaten them in the district championship game several weeks earlier. In a decisive 54-43 victory, HP sent Columbus home at last weekend’s State Class B Basketball Tournament. However, the Baker Lady Spartans who HP beat in overtime at divisionals, took a narrow 2-point victory over HP in the final tournament round on March 11, in Great Falls at Four Seasons Arena.
