Headed to Laurel

CCHS will head to the Southern C Divisional in Laurel for the first time since 2019 when they defeated Broadus to finish third at the district tournament. That win came on a last second steal and score from then freshman, Turner Tooke. This year's third place finish at districts ended in another close game, this time over Wibaux. Broadus, meanwhile, defeated Melstone in the championship.

The five-seeded Bulldogs lost to four-seeded Wibaux in the opening round by 8 points. The game was tied at halftime, but Blue went down by 10 to end the third quarter and couldn't make up lost ground in the fourth. Blue won their loser-out contest against Plevna convincingly on Friday, 61-17.

In order to get to the consolation game, the Bulldogs had to go through Terry. They did. CCHS had a nine point lead at halftime that Terry cut into, but they limited turnovers in the second half and got to the free throw line frequently. CCHS shot from the charity stripe 27 times, the Terriers had only 13 attempts. Clutch free throw shooting at the end secured a four-point victory for the Dogs, and the win secured them a spot in Laurel at the Southern C Divisional this weekend.

Blue got a chance for redemption by playing Wibaux again in the consolation game on Saturday in Miles City. The Dogs were without their leading scorer from the season for most of the game. Senior Jared Pardee started the game, but had an apparent arm injury from the night before and was unable to go for most of the contest. As it turned out, the Bulldogs didn't need much scoring though, as they played outstanding team defense and held Wibaux to 25 points. Wibaux's Colten Miske scored 21 points in the teams' first round matchup. In the consolation, Blue held him to 5. CCHS led throughout the contest and eventually won by 10. As a team, they shot 89 percent on free throws.

The Bulldogs' first game at the Southern C Divisional Tournament will be against Harlowton/Ryegate at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday night.
