    Whitefish was led by Carson Gulick with 16 points. CJ Thew had 13 and Will Sisson added 12.

    Both Whitefish teams would have a quick turnaround, playing in the first games of the day, on Saturday.

    This time the teams would face Glendive.

    Big 2nd and 4th quarters helped propel the Lady Red Devils to victory 47-24.

    Senior Carmella Alfieri had her best game as a Lady Dawg dropping in 15 points to lead the way.

    Dawson County was led by Sari Murphy with 15.

    The Whitefish boys would score just 3 first quarter points as they fell 62-38 in their contest.
