GREAT FALLS — Just one more game at the State A tournament here at the Four Seasons Arena in Great Falls.
It's time for the much anticipated girls title game. Eastern A rivals Havre and Billings Central have a lot of history and hardware on the hardwood.
The Rams and Blue Ponies have combined for the last eight Class A state titles. Billings Central won the last two and shared the title with Hardin in the COVID-19 shortened 2020 tournament, and Havre won five titles in six seasons from 2017-2023.
But the Blue Ponies haven’t beaten the Rams since that 2023 season and the Rams have won 46 straight games against Class A opponents. These two teams have played twice so far this season. The Rams defeated the Blue Ponies 42-35 at home in the regular season and 44-36 in the Eastern A title game.
Tom Wylie and Will Charlton are on hand to provide live updates through the title game.
Here's how the early games played out:
- Frenchtown 58, Laurel 32
- Hardin 56, Dillon 45
- Hardin 64, Frenchtown 63 (2OT), third place
