Lady Huskies Punch Their Ticket to the Big Dance

The Lady Huskies did it again and played an amazing game for all of us fans...they defeated Floodwood in the Section 7A Championship game and now have their "tickets to the Big Dance", the Minnesota Class A State Tournament! YOU GIRLS ARE JUST AMAZING!

The score at the half was 37-26 and the girls won the game by the same margin, 62-53. Four of the starters were in double digits with Shelby at 19, Adrianna with 16, Annalise with 15, Megan 10 and Theresa with 2. Floodwood actually made a run in the second half to keep us on our toes but in their usual Lady Huskie fashion, they stayed calm and kicked it into gear, with Adrianna and Theresa both playing with four fouls! Did I say amazing?

The crowd that showed up for Bigfork was incredible....seemed like the whole community showed up to support the girls! I have a ton of photos to get through and I walked in the door around 12:10 am so I just wanted to post the score and let everyone know the outcome.

The fire department and ambulance escorted the girls into town from about 5 miles out and it was the cutest thing, as all the younger girls screamed and waited, and screamed some more for their heroes. They took second place today at a tournament in Ely while the 7th grade boys took the Championship at the North Country Classic in Grand Rapids and the 4th grade boys took third! Then to top it all off, our Varsity girls take the Championship as well tonight...what a day for the Bigfork Huskies!

I will post pictures tomorrow, probably late as it is going to take me ALL day to go through them all...have to send some to the Grand Rapids Herald Review and to the Athletic Director for the school site also...AND I have the honor of getting a "Press Pass" for the State Tournament games! Which means I get to be on the floor to take pictures! That is a dream come true for me, so not only did my dream come true for the girls and the Bigfork community, but one of mine as well! They ended their regular season with a record of 26-2 and have made history for the girls basketball program in Bigfork! Congratulations to the coaching staff, Greg, Siri and Rob and to our girls who have made their dream come true!

The girls will play Goodue from Section 1A with a regular season record of 17-10 and are currently #35 in the QRF rankings....Bigfork is #5 in the QRF ranking. I don't know much about them but just by looking at their record and QRF ranking, I think Bigfork has a good shot to advance into the State Tournament. If they were to win their first game, the semi-final would certainly be tougher but I think possible! No one knows much about our team but I'm sure will be talking to other coaches and doing some scouting...we are certainly the underdog but like I said above, our girls are AMAZING and if anyone can do it, they can! They have such a strong will and not to mention the talent, to advance into the tournament.
