The Absarokee Huskies went to work last weekend in Miles City as they took on a tough field of competitors at the Southern C Divisional basketball tournament.

Tournament play opened Thursday afternoon with the Huskies facing the Wibaux Longhorns, the first seed from the 4C district.

The game started out slow, with neither team on the scoreboard for the first two minutes. About halfway through the first quarter, the Wibaux offense found a rhythm; Absarokee was plagued with turnovers and could not answer. At the end of the first, the Huskies were down nine points, 11-2.

The Reed Point-Rapelje Renegades gave it their all against a tough field of competitors at the Class C Southern Divisional Tournament last weekend.

Tournament play began on Thursday afternoon with a very difficult task for the Renegades – take down the Melstone Broncs, the third ranked team in the state.

The two teams’ offenses are very similar, emphasizing ball control and waiting to shoot until a teammate has the best possible shot. From tipoff the game was played like a chess match, with players taking deliberate action and trying to anticipate future moves.
