After a break for the holidays, the basketball teams from the Flathead’s schools had a loaded schedule beginning last Thursday and extending through the weekend. For some, it was the beginning of their all-important conference schedules.
The weekend saw several close games, including a big upset victory for the Bigfork girls over Glacier on Friday night. The Vals beat a tough Lady Wolfpack team 49-47 at Glacier High School. Here’s a rundown of how the rest of the area’s teams fared over the weekend.
