Charlo girls advance to District 14-C Championship game

RONAN - If Charlo's girls basketball game were a MLB pitcher, they'd probably be up for the Cy Young award.

Charlo blanked Hot Springs in the first quarter while taking a 5-0 lead. Then in the second, after a bucket by the Savage Heat, the Lady Vikings finished out the half with a 7-0 run for the 12-2 halftime lead.
