After splitting games with Wibaux and dropping two to Melstone in the regular season, the CCHS Lady Bulldogs beat both teams when it really mattered and came away with a first place trophy from the District 4C Tournament in Miles City over the weekend.
Lady Blue had little trouble in their first contest against Jordan, winning 55-14, even though they had 30 turnovers. CCHS had 19 more rebounds than the Mustangs. As a team, they shot 37 percent on field goals in the game compared to just 9 percent for Jordan. They also shot better from the charity stripe (50%) than Jordan (25%).
The team was dealt a big blow, though, as senior Claire Callahan went out late in the contest with a lower leg injury that caused her to miss the remainder of the tournament.
