    Mason Kelch would put the team on his back in this one, as he dropped in 12 of his game high 23 points in the second quarter. Whitefish led by 13 in the frame but Bigfork cut into the lead end the half on a 5-0 run. Dawgs led at the intermission 32-24.

    The third quarter is where the Dawgs really separated themselves as they dropped in 25 points in the frame and led after 3, 57-36.
