Brittnee Theel, Chester/J-I Girls Basketball

The Chester/J-I girls basketball team made a great run at last month's Northern C girls divisional tournament in Great Falls.

And in one of them, senior Brittnee Theel knocked in a shot at the buzzer to send C/J-I on to the next round. Theel wound up averaging 10 points and five rebounds over C/J-I's march through the tournament, helping the Hawks to 22-4 season record.
