    Whitefish Bulldog Basketball

    The Whitefish Basketball teams were in Frenchtown, over the weekend, as they would take part in the Western "A" Tip-Off Tournament.

    Both teams picked up a pair of big wins defeating Stevensville and Park High, out of Livingston.

    Starting off with a look at Saturday's contests.

    The Bulldog boys basketball team would get the day underway with a 62-22 thrashing of Park High.

    The Dawgs would get off to a hot start, leading 20-4 after one quarter and pushed the lead to 35-13 at the half.

    Whitefish kept the pedal to the medal in the third quarter and held a 52-17 advantage after 3.

    The Dawgs had 8 players score in the game led by Carson Gulick with 14. CJ Thew added 13 while Carson Krack dropped in 11, none bigger than his fastbreak one hand slam.

    The Bulldogs would open tournament play on Friday and came away with a monstrous 65-35 win.

    Following the weekend's action the Bulldogs are now 2-1 on the season.

    As for the Lady Bulldogs, they would take to the court Saturday and came away with a gritty 50-39 win over Park.

    The girls would find themselves down 17-14 after one quarter of play but stifling defense would take over. 

    Whitefish used a big 19 point second quarter to take the lead and went into the halftime locker-room up 33-26.

    The Lady Dawgs never trailed after. After giving up the 17 first quarter points, Park only managed to score 22 points over the final 3 quarters. 

    Jude Perry led the way with 18 points while Bailey Smith added 16, she knocked in 4 3's in the second half.

    Like the boys, the girls would open up tournament play, Friday, with a solid 54-28 win over Stevensville.

    And following all the weekend's action both teams are now 2-1 on the season.

    They will travel to Havre this weekend for the East-West Tip-Off Tournament.
