Havre, MT – Now midway through November high school basketball tryouts and preseason practices are taking place throughout the state, and for first time head coach, Jill Barta of the Chinook Sugarbeeter girls’ basketball program, there is a lot to look forward to.
Barta is a multiple time state champion at Fairfield high school and played college basketball at Gonzaga University before a quick stint professionally overseas.
Barta said that things will be different for her as a coach on the sideline but is still excited in many ways for her first season.
“I’m excited to get back out on the court and see how it feels again. Definitely going to be a different role from coaching than playing, but you know being able to compete against these class C teams I think it will be kind of fun.” Barta said.
Barta and her team have their first official practice on November 20, with their first game coming in
