Saturday's Prep Football: On to state for Beeters, Bears

A pair of Hi-Line football teams will play for state championships next Saturday afternoon. The Chinook Sugarbeeters advanced to the Class C state championship game with a 50-32 win Saturday in Fairview. The Beeters will host unbeaten Arlee for the 8-man championship.

Meanwhile, the magical story of the Box Elder Bears continued Saturday as they went on the road and upended Hot Springs 42-20 to advance to the Six-Man state championship game. The Bears will try to win their first football state championship this Saturday as they get a rematch with undefeated Denton-Stanford-Geyser in Denton.

Havre's bid to make it three area teams playing on state championship Saturday didn't go as well. In the Class A semifinals Saturday, the Ponies were beaten 43-8 in Dillon. The Beavers will host Whitefish for the state championship this Saturday.
