Chinook's Isaac Bell, left, was one of four local boys basketball players to be named to the 2018 Class C All-State team. Bell's teammate, Cord Schneider, along with North Star's Dylan Miller and Fort Benton's Garrett Diekhans were also named to the All-State team from the Northern C. The Havre Daily News will continue to publish postseason basketball awards as we receive them.
The Northern C Division is always one of the most talented in all of Class C basketball and even though it wasn't represented in the state championship game this season, it's still loaded with good players and good teams.
That makes earning All-State honors in the Northern C extremely difficult. It also makes the 14 players who were given that distinction, the best of the best along in the region that stretches from Hays-Lodge Pole to the outskirts of Great Falls.
When it comes to the District 9C, a number of local players found their way onto the team, including two from the Chinook Sugarbeeters, who went undefeated in 9C play, sweeping the regular season and tournament titles in the district. Isaac Bell and Cord Schneider, two juniors, both made the team. It was the second consecutive selection for Schneider and the first for Bell, who was a First-Team All-Conference in the 9C last season. Bell was the Beeters' leading scorer and had a 51-point game in a win over Harlem. He also poured in 31 points in the 9C championship game.
The two other players who made their way onto the Class C All-State team from the 9C were Dylan Miller of North Star and Garrett Diekhans of Fort Benton, who each led their teams to the Northern C Divisional tournament for the first time in a long time. Miller and Diekhans also led the Knights and Longhorns to one win each at the divisional tournament.
Heart Butte, which won the Northern C title, had both Riley and Shylon Spoonhunter on the team, while others included Noah Ambeuhl of Great Falls Central, Kordell Carpenter of Denton-Geyser-Stanford, Riley Donaldson of DGS, Domnik Dunk of Power, Treyton Pickering of Sunburst, Keagan Stroop of Belt, Rhet Woodhall of DGS and Cameron Wollman of Winnett-Grass-Range.
Schneider, Riley Spoonhunter and Pickering were the only repeat selections to the Northern C All-State team.
