However, in the second half, they maintained their lead with defense and three throws. That is what allowed the Ponies to survive a 3-of-20 effort f...

Playing Class C sports in Montana is a different kind of experience, but playing sports in Turner is on an entirely different level. And then, when you are one of the few state champions Turner has ever had, well, being a local athlete is the same as being a local celebrity.
