Chinook girls’ basketball had an impressive showing to begin the 2025 MHSA State Class ‘B’ girls’ basketball tournament, getting past Florence-Carlton on Thursday night. Friday night would prove to be another large hill to climb as the Lady Beeters matched up with the 2-loss Huntley Project Red Devils.
The Lady Beeters stood tough with Huntley, trailing (17-13) at the end of the first quarter. The Red Devils got more space in the second, outscoring Chinook, (16-7) to lead, (33-20) at the break. The deficit would be the same through three quarters at 13, (49-36). Project’s offense was ultimately too much for the defensive-minded Chinook Sugarbeeters and they did not have the scoring to contend as the final was (62-44).
Alexus Seymour had 14 points in the defeat, while Hannah Schoen put up 10.
There will be consolation basketball to be played as Chinook will rematch with Malta in the first semifinal, played on Saturday at 10:30am on the campus of Sentinel High School in Missoula. if the Beeters can move on, they’ll face the Florence-Carlton and Missoula Loyola winner in the consolation championship game at 5pm.
