Yesterday in Lake County Sports... Oct. 31

Wow. Yesterday was absolutely ridiculous as Lake County teams made a huge splash in the postseason in many sports. Let's take a look...

Football

Class A

Polson 27, Frenchtown 21 (2OT)
An absolute thriller. Polson wins on a defensive stand after their previous touchdown had it's extra point blocked. Vinny G (Vince DiGiallonardo) had an incredible game through the air, as the Pirates defeated the defending state champions, again. They also beat the Broncs in their first game of the season.

Class C

Charlo 59, White Sulphur Springs 50
Charlo had a first quarter from hell. The offense wasn't working. White Sulphur Springs was slicing and dicing the defense, and as senior defensive lineman Chance Rosenbaum said, they found out the Hornets weren't a slouch team. Down 20-0, the Vikings also received the scare of a lifetime when Chico Stipe limped off to the sidelines. The senior quarterback said his knee was hurting him and if he based him back solely on the amount of pain he wouldn't have gone back in but he knew his teammates needed him.

After the first quarter, Charlo had the momentum and battled back into the game and took a commanding lead in the third quarter. WSS outscored the Vikings in the fourth quarter but Charlo hung on for the win.

Twin Bridges 49, Arlee 6
Twin Bridges had a good day both rushing and passing the ball. They scored 22 points in the first quarter en route to the victory. The Warriors should still be proud of the season they had, making it to the playoffs the past two seasons and being a powerful, hard-nosed football team every time they step out on the field. Twin Bridges was the No. 1 seed from the South, and should do well in the rest of the playoffs.

Volleyball

Charlo wins 10-C District Tournament
Charlo and Arlee were both impressive in the tournament, slicing through all the other teams. It came down to both these two teams in both the undefeated game on Saturday morning and the championship match in the afternoon. The Lady Vikings had Arlee's number both times, winning 3-0 both times.

Mission wins 7B District  Tournament
Despite being the third seed, the Lady Bulldogs were the best team in the tournament, by far. They beat No. 2 seed Bigfork, a huge rival in the regular season and No. 1 seed Eureka twice to take the district crown. Bigfork and Eureka both had wins over Mission in the regular season but the Lady Bulldogs came into the tournament focused. Lady Bulldogs head coach Kendal Anderson said she wanted to play Bigfork and that's exactly what happened in the second round.
