BASKETBALL — Nemont TV Guide: It’s week 8 of 10 featuring live Montana High School Association action on Nemont.TV. Tonight (Thurs., Jan. 25) it’s the Class B Fairview Warriors at Class C Culbertson Cowgirls/ Cowboys with the girls at 6 p.m. and boys 7:30 p.m. The Lady Warriors (4-7, 432-542, 39.2-49.2) lost their first four games, defeated Culbertson for its first win and lost the next three. Since then they have won three straight over Harlem, Glasgow and Wolf Point. The Cowgirls (2-8, 396-502, 39.6-50.2) are just the opposite, losing their last three to Bainville, Richey-Lambert and Plentywood by a combined score of 13794. The Cowboys (3-7, 444-555, 44.4-55.5) have lost three of their last four games while the Warriors (6-5, 609-586, 55.3-53.2) have won six of their last eight after after starting 0-3. On Fri., Jan. 26, it’s the Wolf Point Wolves at Scobey in another non-conference matchup, with the girls at 6 p.m. and boys 7:30 p.m. The Wolf Point girls (2-9, 574-726, 52.1-66.0) enter the game with a 9-game losing streak while the Spartans (10-2, 535-332, 44.5-27.6) have won 6 in a row. In the boys’ game the Wolves (2-9, 574-726, 52.1-66.0) have lost nine in a row while Scobey (12-0, 772-382, 64.3-31.8) has yet to lose. Here is an opportunity to see the differences: There are two weekly polls being conducted in Montana for Montana High School Association basketball, which includes Classes AA, A, B and C. One is by MontanaSports.com, which is the Montana Television Network. It includes CBS affiliates KTVQ in Billings, KRTV in Great Falls, KXLH-LD in Helena, KXLF in Butte, KBZK in Bozeman, KPAX in Missoula and KAJJ-CD in Kalispell. The NBC affiliates include KTVH in Helena and KTGF in Great Falls. The other weekly poll is the 406mtsports.com poll, which consists of voters from the Lee Newspapers group. It includes sports writers from the Billings Gazette Independent Record in Helena, Missoulian The Montana Standard in Butte and Ravalli Republic in Hamilton. Here are the Class C power polls from the night of Monday, January 15, 2024 from MontanaSports. com. Class C boys: 1. Scobey Spartans (10-0 overall record) 2. Manhattan Christian Eagles (10-0) 3. Box Elder Bears (9-0) 4. Savage Warriors (8-1) 5. Custer-Hysham Rebels (8-0) 6. Grass Range-Winnett Rams (8-1) 7. Lustre Christian Lions (9-1) 8. Plentywood Wildcats (9-1) 9. Chester-Joplin-Inverness Hi-Line Hawks (7-1) 10. Lincoln Lynx (7-0). Class C girls: 1. North Country (Saco-Whitewater-Hinsdale) Mavericks (9-0) 2. Twin Bridges Falcons (7-1) 3. Roberts Rockets (10-1) 4. Circle Wildcats (8-1) 5. Denton-Geyser-Stanford-Geraldine Bearcats (8-1) 6. White Sulphur Springs Hornets (7-0) 7. Big Sandy Pioneers (8-1) 8.

Bainville Bulldogs (8-1) 9. Scobey Spartans (8-2) 10. Roy-Winifred Outlaws (6-3). Here are the 406mtsports. com (Lee Newspapers) power polls released the night of Tuesday, January 16: Boys, 1. Scobey (10-0) 2. Box Elder (9-0) 3. Manhattan Christian (10-0) 4.

Lustre Christian (9-1) 5. Grass Range-Winnett (8-1) 6.

Custer-Hysham(8-0) 7. Chester-Joplin-Inverness (7-1) 8. Savage (6-1) 9. Plentywood (9-1) 10. Lincoln (7-0). Girls: 1. North Country (Saco-Whitewater-Hinsdale) (10-0) 2. Twin Bridges (7-0) 3. Circle (8-1) 4. Roberts (10-1) 5. Denton-Geyser-Stanford-Geraldine (8-1) 6.

White Sulphur Springs (6-0) 7. Belt Huskies (5-2) 8.

Bainville (9-1) 9. Scobey (8-2) 10. Roy-Winifred (6-3). We are showing this to our Leader readers so they can see the differences between the four polls. In future editions of the Leader we will only publish the MontanaSports.com polls released on Monday nights, that way we can have the up-to-date rankings for our readers that week. We would like to publish the 406mtsports.com polls as well but if it continues to be released on Tuesday nights, it is no-can-do as the Leader has already been printed in Helena, starting at 2 p.m. Tuesday. If 406mtsports.com shifts back to a Monday night release, as it did in the past before this season, we will print its Class C polls as well. All said, as interesting as it is to look over these polls on a week-by-week basis, the only polls counting for anything, whether its Class AA, A, B or C in both girls and boys, are the ones conducted on Saturday, March 9, 2024 in Missoula (Class AA), Butte (A), Billings (B) and Great Falls (C) when state-tourney championships games are conducted.

Lady Spartans Earn Huge Win In Circle, Moving Them Into Second

Posted on

They not only won but did so by more than one point, which means if the Scobey varsity girls’ basketball squad and Circle Wildcats end up tied in the conference standings at the conclusion of the regular season, it will be advantage Spartans.

The Roundtowners edged Scobey 38-37 December 16 in Scobey. The Spartans traveled south Saturday, January 20, and registered a 41-31 win.

It was close in the early going where Scobey led nearly the entire first quarter until Madelene Moline turned a tough shot into a 7-6 Circle lead.

That was it, however, as Claire Lekvold’s 3-point field goal to open the second-quarter scoring gave Scobey the lead for good. By intermission it was still close at 13-11 but field goals by Kennadi Cromwell and Kaytie Aanstad and a free throw by Kayla Carney pushed the margin to 23-14. Moline’s bucket to end the third-frame scoring put the Wildcats back within striking distance at 25-20.

It was the last time Circle would be close to the Spartans on the scoreboard as Aanstad and Cromwell netted baskets for a 9-point lead. The gapped widened considerably when eighth grader McKenna Nieskens drained a left-wing 3-point field goal with six and a half minutes left in the quarter for a 32-20 advantage. A very short time later she hit another trey making it a 15-point lead.

After Charlie Moline scored for the Wildcats, freshman Kayla Carney missed a 3-point attempt but followed the shot, grabbed the offensive rebound, shot and made it, was fouled and converted the 3-point play for Scobey’s largest advantage at 38-22.

Junior Mya Green, scoring with a nice follow through after contact, and Carney with a free throw closed out Scobey’s scoring for the afternoon.

The Spartans opened the weekend at home Friday to the Dodson Coyotes and took a quick 6-0 advantage on 3-pointers by Camrie Holum and Mia Handran.

Kataya KillEagle, Dodson’s best player who netted a pair of 3-pointers in the first frame to keep things close, opened the second frame with a 2-pointer. Baylee Johnson’s offensive rebound putback gave the Coyotes their only lead at 12-11.

Cromwell made sure it was not going to last long by dropping in a trey to regain the lead for good. After Handran (deuce) and Green (trey) made it 1912, Cromwell struck again from 3-point territory, Chloe Handran and Camrie Holum produced field goals and Carney connected on a pair of free throws for a 28-16 halftime lead.

Scobey outscored Dodson 20-11 in the third quarter for a 48-27 lead later turning into a 59-34 victory.

A moment nobody wanted to witness occurred with 6 minutes left in the matchup as KillEagle, without a doubt Dodson’s best player on the floor that night, dropped to the floor with some type of leg injury and needed help of the court. Here’s hoping she is back by district tourney time in Glasgow.

This week’s action is just one game, which is Wolf Point at Scobey Friday, January 26 (JVG 3 p.m., VG 6 p.m.) in non-conference action. However, early next week on Tuesday the 30th it will be Scobey at Nashua in a make-up game orginally scheduled for January 12. It was postponed due to a wind-chill factor dipping into the minus 40-to-60 degree range while Spartans would have been on the road. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m.

Here are the current standings of the District 3C as of Saturday’s games:

• North Country 7-0, 12-0

• Scobey 5-2, 10-2

• Circle 4-2, 9-2

• Lustre Christian 4-3, 9-3

• Frazer 3-4, 6-5

• Dodson 1-7, 3-8

• Nashua 0-6, 0-10

Lady Spartans Move Upwards In Power Poll

Posted on

It was a road-trip win with loads of value and those casting ballots were well aware of it.

Welcome to the world of the Scobey girls’ basketball program, which MTN Sports voters vaulted them from 9th-ranked to 6thranked in its weekly Class C girls power poll Monday night. The move up in the rankings occurred after a gutsy 41-31 Scobey victory in Circle against a very good Wildcats team, which is ranked 9th.

The other three topranked girls’ teams are Billings Skyview in Class AA, Havre in Class A and Huntley Project in Class B.

Meanwhile the Scobey boys remain atop MTN Sports’ Class C poll with an undefeated record, as do Bozeman High in Class AA, Hamilton in Class A and Missoula Loyola in Class B. Here are the current Class C rankings (see related story on page 7):

CLASS C GIRLS 1. North Country (Saco-Whitewater-Hinsdale) 2. Twin Bridges 3. Roberts 4. Big Sandy 5. Bainville 6. Scobey 7. Roy-Winifred 8. Belt 9. Circle 10. Melstone.

CLASS C BOYS 1. Scobey 2. Box Elder 3. Savage 4. Custer-Hysham 5. Manhattan Christian 6. Winnett-Grass Range 7. Lustre Christian 8. Plentywood 9. Chester-Joplin-Inverness 10. Lincoln.

SHOOTING FOR SODA POP at ….

SHOOTING FOR SODA POP at halftime of the Dodson Coyotes at Scobey Spartans varsity girls’ basketball game on Friday, January 19, were this Dodson cheerleader— nice follow-through with the wrist—and Scobey School third grader Baylor Berryhill. Make the 15foot shot from the free line and take home a big plastic bottle of pop… or crack the lid and share it with friends in the commons area. This has been a fundraiser for many years during halftime of varsity games. — Leader Photos, mike
