The Seeley-Swan High School Women's Basketball team won the District basketball tournament and will advance to Divisonals. The Lady Blackhawks will play their first game in the Divisional tournament on Feb. 22 at 5 p.m. against White Sulphur Springs in Frenchtown. The men's team did not advance to Divisonals.
"We came out in that first game. We were pretty nervous, and the girls did a good job staying calm," Coach David Cahoon said.
Cahoon said it was a "huge experience" for the women's team to play a tight game against Drummond on Feb. 16 - where the team was down seven points with only two minutes left in the game - and to come out on top. The final score against Drummond was 37-36.
On Saturday, Cahoon said the team came in with a lot of confidence. They were down nine points by half-time, "But the girls knew if they stuck together they had a chance," Cahoon said.
"They even said that in the locker room," Cahoon said. "That's pretty cool to hear from young players."
The Lady Blackhawks defeated Granite County High School 61-47.
"We're a young team, but the girls have really been putting the time in," Cahoon said.
