No Consolation for Malta

The Glasgow Scotties faced a daunting task during the District 2B Tournament held in Glasgow ,Feb. 14-16. The experience for both the boys and girls mirrored each other, somewhat. Both teams were required to prevail in a play-in game on the 14th before they could even enter the tournament bracket.

They both accomplished wins that secured their participation at divisionals with notable performances from Saul Hansen, who scored 19 points for the boys, and Taylor Pederson, who led the Lady Scotties with 15 points. Keely Fossum led the girls in rebounds as she pulled eight off the boards during the contest.

The Scottie boys faced Poplar in game three of the bracket on Feb. 15, and dropped the game by a considerable margin, 80-45. Chevy Boos led his squad in scoring with a total of 12 points. The Scottie girls were also defeated on Feb. 15, when they faced the Harlem Lady Cats and lost 66-52. Fossum led the scoring for the girls with 18 points on the scoreboard.

Both losses moved the Scotties into the consolation game on the 16th, and each team would be facing their rival teams of the Malta Mustangs and the Malta M-Ettes.

The Scottie boys opened the third day of the tournament with a 48-24 win against Malta, stunning the crowd with a display of determination, teamwork and athleticism. Kobe Sibley led the way this time with 16 points in the game, eight rebounds and five steals. Boos contributed defensively with three blocked shots in the contest. The Scottie girls followed with a sweet 54-42 victory against the M-Ettes. The Lady Scotties accomplished their win with scrappy defense and tenacious offense. Fossum was the lead scorer for the second time of the tournament, finishing with 10 points. She also led the team in rebounds, recording eight in the game.

The Lady Scotties will open their divisional tournament, which will be held in Malta Thursday, Feb. 21 through Saturday, Feb. 23, with an 8 p.m. game vs. Cut Bank.
