Spartans Seeking to Improve On 2025 Third Place Finish At State


Scobey radio station KCGM 95.7 FM aired the entire lineup of 14 games from Miles City radio station KATL 770 AM, as well as Monday’s challenge game at Wolf Point High School’s Wolves’ Den Gym during last week’s East C Divisional Tournament.
The big question is this: was Lustre Christian’s Cam Reddig tuning into KATL when he and his teammates were not on The Corral court competing?
Every time a player throughout the entire portion of KATL’s live broadcasts— boys’ game or girls’ game—drilled a 3-point field goal, the KATL play-by-play announcer or color commentator would always utter this: Bang! Bang! Bang!
It was the code word of the airwaves when a player— again, boy or girl, every trey, every time—sank a 3-pointer.
Lustre Christian 5-foot-11 junior Cam Reddig turned Bang! Bang! Bang! into an art form Saturday night in the boys’ championship game against top-ranked Scobey, handing the boys in blue and gold their first defeat of the 2025-26 season.
Conducted March 4-7 in The Corral gymnasium at Custer County District High School, the third-ranked Lions brilliantly executed the upset after losing to the Spartans 64-48 in Lustre and 63-44 in Scobey during the regular season.
Now it is on to the Class C State Tournament in Missoula for both the Spartans and Lions, with the firstround pairings for Wednesday, March 11, looking like this:
