STATS:
Western AA honorable mention, 11 points per game
When new head coach Ross Gus- tafson took over the Flathead boys basketball team barely a month before the season, he relied heav- ily on his veteran leaders, includ- ing Matt, to keep the program focused on making progress. The sharp-shooting senior answered the call, averaging nearly 11 points per game and was named Western AA honorable mention. Matt scored a team-high 21 points against even- tual state runner-up Bozeman and hit a season-high 22 against the tal- ented Class A Polson Pirates. The Braves nished the season 7-14 overall and missed out on the state tournament, but Matt remains proud of the time he spent on the court wearing a Flathead jersey as a three-year varsity player. “It was challenging this season but we made the best of it,” he says.
STATS:
MCAA State Tournament MVP, 21 points per game
Stillwater Christian has a rich tra- dition of standout basketball play- ers. Meet the latest all-time great Cougar. With the ability to shoot lights out or throw down a slam dunk, Isaac showcased his ver- satility this season as the reign- ing state tournament MVP in the Montana Christian Athletic Asso- ciation. He shot nearly 60 percent from the eld and averaged 21 points per game, leading Stillwater to a 21-2 overall record. The team’s only two losses came against Gla- cier and Flathead’s Class AA JV teams. At the MCAA state tour- nament, Isaac led by example once again and guided the Cou- gars to a 82-57 win over Gallatin Valley in the title game. He scored 22 points in the chipper and was named MVP of the tournament once again.
