Bigfork Wins a Thriller Over Cook Co. 52-50

It was a back and forth game the whole way and every time Bigfork would get up, they would come right back. Their #5 was raining three's....Bigfork missed a ton of shots tonight, buckets that normally go in easily for them. I would venture to guess they missed 15-20 of those....hopefully they got the bugs out tonight and they will go in on Saturday during the Section 7A Championship game!

There were lots and lots of Bigfork fans tonight which was wonderful to see...some that came from Dora Lake that made their first game of the year....bet they will be back on Saturday!

CONGRATULATIONS to Megan Powell for getting her 1,000 rebound tonight! I don't know how many she had tonight total, but knew that she needed 9 to hit 1,000! So now she is a 1,000 point club member AND has 1,000 rebounds and another year yet to go! She also hit the winning basket tonight and made many, many, many Bigfork fans very happy...we were all able to breath again! I thought my husband was going to pass right out....

Now the girls need to get ready for Floodwood who surprised everyone and beat Mountain Iron-Buhl by 13 points, 65-52. Mountain Iron-Buhl got into big foul trouble the first half with their point guard and Aultman both racking up 3 fouls each. Charlotte and Winans had 2 and I think another girl had 2...I bet they had 13 or more in the first half. They covered Charlotte well and it took its toll on her. McKenzie (point guard) came out and drew her fourth foul right away and had to sit, then came out and fouled out on a frustration foul and she was done. I felt bad for her as they were down and that did not help the situation at all as she actually came out and drove the lane two or three times and scored plus got 2-4 free throws. They had a very good year though.

Megan was top scorer tonight also with 17, Shelby with 13, Lise with 12, Andi with 6 (four fouls), Theresa and Robin with two each. Megan and Lise both had two three pointers each tonight.

I will go through pictures in the morning and put some up....once I've recovered!

Live in Bradenton, Florida and was able to listen to game on internet radio broadcast from Grand Marais.
Despite some super biased announcers from Cook County, it was a great game. Congratulations to the team and Coach Powell.
Graduated from Bigfork in 1959 and remember that Rodney Goble was quick as a cat and fast as the wind, must be relation to Shelby's dad?? Enjoy you webb site.
