Lady Ponies Look to Be at Best for Central A
|
HAVRE, Mont (NMB) The Havre High girls basketball assembled quite the regular season in 2011-2012. A young team, led by seniors Jaclyn and Sammy Evans, the Ponies pulled off wins against Class B powerhouse Malta, and defeated conference rival Browning twice en route to the regular season Central A title.
However the regular season is over and the stakes will be raised come Friday night when Havre starts its stint at the Central A tournament. While the tournament will bring a number of changes, if the Lady Ponies are to find success one thing must stay the same.
"Its a one game at the season now and you have be at your best every time you take the floor" Havre head coach Dustin Kraske said. "That is one of the things we have been teaching-be at your best together."
"Its going to take all of us to be successful at a divisional tournament."
Havre will take on the winner of the Park and Fergus High contest Friday night at 8pm. You will be able to hear that game on 610 KOJM and KOJM.com

Knudsen Nets 17 in MSU-Billings Loss
|
BILLINGS, Mont. (NMB) - During the annual "Pink Zone" game, the Montana State University Billings women's basketbal team could not find their "zone offensively Saturday night, falling to Seattle Pacific University 70-56.
Down by as many as 22, the Yellowjackets attempted to mount a comeback, twice pulling even in the second half, but every time MSUB rallied they Falcons responded. MSU-Billings struggled with their shooting in the first, hitting less than 20% of their shots before shooting 48% in the second half. However the early deficit proved to be too much as the Yellowjackets could not over come the 33-18 halftime deficit.
Malta High School Product Bobbi Knudsen finished the night 8-20 for 17 points, again leading the Yellowjackets in scoring.
MSUB will look to change their luck next week as they wrap up their 2011-12 regular season with a pair of games. The Yellowjackets will first welcome Simon Fraser University on Thursday, Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. before they welcome Western Washington University to Alterowitz Gymnasium on Saturday, Feb. 25.
