Spartan Girls Earn 3rd At State, On A 3-Game Win Streak So Far

The Lady Spartans of Scobey High School were Bear-catted in the first round of the State C Tournament in Missoula last week but surprised many people by sucking it up and stringing together three straight wins to bring back home the third-place trophy!

BRAVO! The local young ladies, a mere one loss away from seeing their season end, whipped up a strong potion of moxie to conclude their 2025-26 season with a 3-game winning streak!

Friday featured the Spartans in the initial contest of the day, a 9:31 a.m. tip-off in a loser-out game against West Yellowstone.

This was a close one all the way with ties at 8, 10, 12, 15, 26, 28 and 32. It was Dylon Allestad’s basket giving Scobey the lead for good at 34-32 with Lekvold dropping in a runner to then lead by four. The Wolverines’ Talia Spence ...
