SATURDAY'S PREP GIRLS: Fort Benton gets revenge, Ponies heartbroke

One week after losing the District 9C championship, the Fort Benton Longhorns won the Northern C championship by beating North Star in a rematch. Saturday afternoon at the Four Seasons Arena, Fort Benton defeated rival North Star 35-31. The Longhorns are in the state tournament with the win, while the Knights have to play Roy-Winifred in a Monday challenge game. The Outlaws beat 9C Box Elder in the consolation game earlier Saturday.

In Billings, Havre lost a heartbreaker to Billings Central in the Eastern A championship game. The Ponies had a one-point lead in the final minute, but Central took a one-point lead with eight seconds left. Havre had two free throws to tie or win the game with one second left, but the Ponies missed both and Central claimed the championship. Havre still advances to next week's state tournament in Great Falls as the No. 2 seed.

At the 2B Saturday, Harlem beat Wolf Point to place third.
