Those points, including one 3-pointer by each player, sealed a 42-35 win for the Ponie...
BUTTE - The Box Elder girls didn't win the District 9C championship in 2018. They didn't win the Northern C title either. But on Saturday night inside the Butte Civic Center, none of that mattered.

So for Box Elder - their first state title in girls basketball in 20 years - the trophy they hoisted over their heads in front of their fans Saturday night, that's the only trophy...
