Havre Daily All Hi-Line Boys Team

What a season it's been on the Hi-Line. 

The Box Elder Bears brought home a state championship, the Havre High boys went to state, and the Chinook Sugarbeeters moved up to Class B. In other words, it's been another remarkable year for boys basketball in our area.

And with that remarkable year came remarkable performances by incredible players. And the 2024 All Hi-Line Boys Basketball Team reflect that.

This year's team features players from across all three classifications in our coverage area, as well as six repeat performers, and players from their senior, junior and sophomore seasons.

Tracen Jilot, Box Elder

A junior who averaged almost 30 points per game, Jilot helped lead Box Elder to the Class C state title two weeks ago in Great Falls. He was named a Class C All-State performer for the second straight season, and a three-year starter for head coach Jeremy MacDonald. Jilot willl head into his senior season as possibly one of the top high school recruits on the Treasure State.

Tre Gary, Havre

Gary is making his second straight appearance on the All Hi-Line Team. A Class A All-State performer this season, Gary was also a First-Team All Northeast A standout for the Ponies, who reached the Class A state tournament.

It wasn't a typical dominant season for the Stars, but, Stump has been a bright spot. Averaging almost 20 points per game on the year, Stump earned Class B honors, and is on the Hi-Line Team for yet another. Stump also continues a streak where at least one Rocky Boy player has been on the all Hi-Line Team every single year since its inception.
