Hi-Line Athletes of the Week

Wyatt Dunbar, Chinook Wrestling

Chinook’s Wyatt Dunbar has been a stalwart for the Sugarbeeters on the mat for years now, having placed at heavyweight in each of the last two seasons. And he’s at it again this winter. Dunbar has been strong at 285 so far, including finishing second at the Scottie Invitational two weeks ago, while also competing strong at the Havre Invitational to start the season. Dunbar was also an All-Conference lineman for the Beeters on the football field and is the second-ranked heavyweight in Class C.

Angela Gopher, Box Elder Basketball

The Box Elder girls basketball team is off to a great start this winter, and it’s no surprise, Angela Gopher is a big reason why. Last week, Gopher closed out 2021 by scoring 18 and 16 points, respectively, as Box Elder beat Turner and North Star in back-to-back 9C games. Gopher, who was an All Northern C standout last season, is averaging more than 15 points per game for the Bears, who are still perfect in district play heading into the new year.
