Arlee 50, Philipsburg 28

The arcade-game like season continues for Arlee running back Zack Tameler, who ran for 236 total yards and six touchdowns in a 50-28 victory over Philipsburg on Friday for the Warrior's homecoming.

Arlee jumped out to a 14-0 lead thanks to a running TD by Tameler and a Favre-esque heave by Arlee quarterback Cody Sheridan for a 60-yard touchdown to receiver Jesse Durham.

Tameler scored on a 14-yard run to begin the second quarter, and after a Philipsburg touchdown, would score again on a 72-yard touchdown run to make it 28-8.

Granite would score two unanswered touchdowns to make it close going into halftime 28-22.

In the second half, it was all Arlee as Tameler ran for three more touchdowns en route to the victory. Zack Carver also ran for 52 yards in the contest, while Sheridan threw for 124 yards.

Arlee improved to 1-2 and will play at Noxon next week.

Volleyball: Charlo sweeps Noxon in make-up game

When Charlo got ready to host Noxon last Thursday at the CHS gym, they were missing something... the Noxon volleyball team.

A misunderstanding happened, and Noxon had thought that the game was on Friday, so both teams had to reschedule to last night in Charlo. The Lady Vikings certainly took advantage of it.

Charlo was dominate in a 3-0 (25-15, 25-13, 25-18) win and improved to 3-0 in their district and 4-0 on the season. They were led by Dawn Blevins, who's apparently the Michael Jordan of volleyball, with 12 digs, nine assists, five aces and a block. Kinley Pope also had nine kills in the matchup.

The Lady Vikings were able to overcome the tough front line of Noxon, which out-blocked Charlo 15-3, with plenty of offense. The Viks had 21 kills to Noxon's 8.

Charlo def. Noxon, 25-15, 25-13, 25-18.
Kills - Noxon 8 (Cara Stettler 3), Charlo 21 (Kinley Pope 9). Blocks - Noxon 15 (Stettler 7), Charlo 3 (Pope, Deondra Brown, Dawn Blevins). Digs - Noxon 36 (Kimmy Marich 11), Charlo 47 (Blevins 12). Assists - Noxon 6 (Shelby Clark 5), Charlo 18 (Blevins 9). Aces - Noxon 7 (Clark 3), Charlo 11 (Blevins 5).  

Golf: Polson Girls dominate Columbia Falls Invitational

(From the Daily Interlake)

Columbia Falls senior Park Johnson took first place in his home tournament Tuesday at Meadow Lakes Golf Course.

Johnson shot an 85 on the par 72 to narrowly beat Hayden Congdon of Polson, who posted an 87 for second place at the Columbia Falls Invitational.

"The shootout between Johnson and Congdon was really fun," Columbia Falls coach Gene Marcille said. "Both of them are good golfers, and they were just neck-and-neck the entire round of golf until the end when Parker pulled ahead."

Libby won as a team with a total score of 385 compared to Polson's 401 and Columbia Fall's 420.

Louis Cielack posted a third-place 92 while teammate Quinn Sullivan shot a 94 and Morgan Wilkens totaled a 98.

On the girls' side, Polson dominated the invitational with a team total of 385 while claiming the top five finishes of the day.

Nicole Clairmont took first place after shooting a 92. Her teammates took the remaining top five positions. Makaliah Wilson shot a 96, Sequoiah Bagrow shot a 98, Anna DiGiallonardo had a 99 and Jaylin Kenney posted a 104.

"Polson girls are tough," Marcille said. "I think they have a real legitimate shot to not only make a good run at conference but I think they can even contend at state."

Columbia Falls took second place on the girls' side with a team total of 520. The best finisher for the Wildkats was Morgan Love who came in sixth with a 120.
