Early morning games at the District 9C are never easy. But they're also big games, and they were Thursday morning for the Box Elder Bears and Chester-Joplin-Inverness Hawks.
Box Elder stayed alive with a 82-64 win over the Turner Tornadoes in the Havre High gymnasium to advance on in the tournament. The Bears, who lost a heartbreaker to North Star Wednesday afternoon, jumped out to a 19-9 lead over the Tornadoes, and while Turner rallied in the second quarter, Box Elder still led 49-29 at halftime en route to the win.
Gabe Saddler scored 21 points for Box Elder (9-11), Chris Burns had 16, while Kadyn Duran, Tyrus LaMere and Malique Rosette each added 11. Turner, which was eliminated with the loss, got a tournament-high 35 points from Shane Kimmel, and Austin Welsh added 19.
The Bears looked to stay alive against Big Sandy in loser-out action this morning.
CJI (9-11) had a tougher time moving Thursday morning, but the Hawks edged Hays-Lodge Pole 51-43. The win kept the Hawks in the tournament, while HLP, which went all the way to the Class C state tourney a year ago, was eliminated.
Kealy Haaland scored 16 points and Caden Woods hauled in 15 rebounds for the Hawks, who broke open a 22-22 halftime tie in the third quarter. The T-Birds were led by Tyshawn Shambo's 15-point, 15-rebound double-double.
The Hawks hoped to keep their season going with a win over North Star this morning.
