Hamilton High School Losses at State A Basketball Tournament
Hamilton High School’s Broncs and Lady Broncs suffered losses in the opening day of the Montana State Class A Basketball Tournament Wednesday at the University of Montana in Missoula.
The Hamilton Broncs lost their 5 p.m. game against Fergus County of Lewistown by a score of 77 to 53. In the very next game on the boys and girls basketball schedule the Hamilton Lady Broncs lost to Hardin 62 to 48. The Montana High School Association event is a double-elimination tourney, so the teams are still in the running. The Hamilton Broncs’ loss puts them into a game today at 6:30 p.m. against the Frenchtown Broncs. The two teams have met several times during the regular season and post-season. The Lady Broncs will wait until Friday at 1:30 in the afternoon for their next game. It will be against the winner of today’s Columbia Falls – Miles City 8 p.m. matchup.
