Scobey Boys’ Goal Is Simple… Outright Class C State Title

This Is It!

Six consecutive District 3C conference and tournament championships, five straight East C Divisional Tournament titles, five-ina-row State C Tournament appearances placing third twice, fourth once and a costate title last season, an active 51-game winning streak dating back to its final three games at the 2019 State C... what more could the Scobey High School boys’ basketball program want?
