CONGRATULATIONS TO COLTS AND FILLIES BASKETBALL!!!!
Although our teams failed to advance to the divisional tournament, both teams grew over the course of this season and represented the school, the community, and their families with pride and dignity.
The Colts team improved consistently over the season and played two thrillingly close games against tough opponents in the tournament. The team never quit and left everything on the court, it was exciting to see them play and to know they have established a foundation for the future that is bright.
The Fillies came within one game of advancing to divisionals, and fought hard all the way. The seniors on the team showed their class throughout the season, working to get better and never giving up. The underclasswomen have developed into a skilled core that fought their way through the tournament and will be exciting to watch as they build on lessons learned to thrill and inspire us next season and beyond.
Please congratulate both teams as you see them at school and in the community, they carried the Colstrip name with pride, and I am honored to know each and every one of them. Thank you to these student athletes and their families for sharing their talents with the school. It has been a fun run.
