This week I would enable tennis as a crosstown tennis -match for Glacier when they won seven of the eight games.

Flathead she received victories from Holden Askvig No. 1 for the boy side and No. 3 Allie Goff for the girls.

Leilani Lennarz, the autumn of Bashara and Lindsey Lemler they won victories in girls -Singles for the pack, as did all four double squad.

The Sam Engellant by Glacier, Aiden Lamb and Western Heller won all young singles. Engelsant was expanded by Flatheads Rowen Alexander to three sets before winning the third 6-1. The Wolfpack is now 8-2-1 in doubles. Flatheads boys fell on 4-8-0. The Glacier girls improved to 8-1-2 in Duals and the bravettes fell to 1-9-3.

Rowan Alexander scored two victories on Friday, but Flathead tennis fell to Gallatin and Bozeman at FVCC in the high school tennis. Allie Goff won a victory for the bravettes with a third set of Tiebreak via Gallatin's Jane Edwards.

Elsewhere in the tennis, Ainsley Grubb won a few victories, one in singles and one in doubles when Whitefish Girls Tennis completed a perfect 15-0 record in Duals for the 2025 season. Grubb combined with Camry Kelch in the 6-1 win of Bulldogs against Corvallis, then she went in a 5-2 dual decision about Hamilton Solo. Congratulations to the Bulldogs for an outstanding regular season.

Crosstown was not the only competing Matchup last week, since the Columbia Falls Wildcats went to Smith Fields and swept the season series against Whitefish with 12-0 victory, which officially secured the top seeds in the North conference.

Jett Pitts set the tone on the hill and set up a complete game with two goals, and both goals on Tait Orme on the way to victory. He took six in five innings when the game was called early due to the running rule.

The newcomer Jaxon Cadwell started in the second inning with the goal for the cats when he had a run home after Boyer went through the invited bases. Cadwell added an RBI double in a fifth inning with 6 runs, which delayed the cat late.

Columbia Falls would defeat Troy on Saturday 14-0 and Polson on Monday with 9: 4 to end the season with 15: 1 and currently achieve a winning streak of 10 games. Hopefully you can keep it up as soon as the state tournament begins.

Whitefish dropped the following game with BigFork 9-2 on Saturday. Mason Lewis doubled two runs during a six-run frame for the Vikings (13: 4, a total of 13: 2 in North Games) and took BigFork 4-1 in the lead. Lewis also went on the hill for BigFork and allowed five goals and two deserved runs. He fanned a few batteries. Finn Ryan and Luke Dalen recorded the RBIs for Whitefish.

Elsewhere in the baseball, the Kalispell Aa Lakers did not have the biggest start to their Saturday, but a solid finish together. Brady Buckmaster and Luke Nikunen provided this.

Nikunen met a solo homerun in the first inn, Buckmaster hit an RBI double in the second and the two combined in the 2-0 victory of the Lakers against Helena in the second game of a Legion double header with three goals.

This saved a split for the Lakers in Griffin Field. They opened the senators 13-0, helped with five Kalispell defects. An 11-lying second inning stated the tone for Helena, which ended the game in five innings under the Mercy rule.

It was already 5-0 before the Lakers made their second mistake on the second inner. Five other rackets came on the plate, with Tanner Steens made two runs 11-0.

In the second game, Buckmaster started and threw five innings to enable two goals and two walks with seven strikeouts. Nikunen received the rescue and allowed a goal and two walks in two innings.

With Helenas Eli Peterson, the duo won a Pitcher 'Duel-Er nine in 5 2-3 innings. Each team only collected three goals, and the Lakers improved to 9-4 in the season.

Flathead's season went to softball and did not end after not qualified for the state, but not before they scored some victories to end the year with a high grade.

Olivia Nyman graduated from a Grand Slam, and Kinsey Lake met a victim fly to break a 5: 5 tie, and the Flathead Bravettes took off 7: 5 from Missoula Sentinel on Tuesday. Nymans Homerun deleted a 4-0 deficit in the third inning for the bravettes. She added a leadoff single in the seventh and passed the starting start.

Nyman was not finished there. She met another Homerun, Macey McIlhargey scored a ball ball in the eighth Inning and the bravettes scored a season at the end of the season with 5:4-softball victory against Missoula Hellgate on Thursday.

Lacey Franklin went the distance in the circle for Flathead, which improved to 3-11 and a total of 4-16 in western AA games. The bravettes won their second episode in a row, but took seventh place in the league to end their season.

The Wolfpack closed the state in its only softball matchup last week. Taylor Vivian's three-run Homerun put Glacier in the lead, and Ava Grady's relief-pitching held Missoula Sentinel on Thursday at Wolfpack's 14:11 win in Bay.

Glacier scored her comeback for two doubles and three runs achieved by Nakiah Persinger, and two runs by Olivia Gibbons, Vivian, Aubree Gerber and Kaydee Walcheck. Glacier received three other runs in the sixth as 11-10, with the RBI double from Persinger moving the big blow and came to Olivia Warrine's victim flying.

The Wolfpack, 16: 3 and 11: 3 in the western AA games, took No. 2 from the west into the state of the state of the state, which is on May 22nd to 24th in Great Fall. Helena High won the top seeds.

The Wildkats won a few victories in the combo Lavernen on Friday and hit Havre 6: 3 and Lockwood with 9: 4. Addy Bowler had four goals for the wild kats, including a triple that drove in three runs in the sixth inning. Sydney Burke three goals. Kylie Gjesdal-Davis, Tayler Lingle and Annika Reid had two goals on the way to the first victory.

The second game only lasted four innings due to the time limit, but that was enough time for Lingle to discharge three goals and scored three times. Onnika Lawrence had a double, triple and two RBIs for the Kats who had a total of 12 goals; Reid had two hits, including a double; Bella Mann had a double and drove into two parts.

The last sport is the track, Flatheads William Hollensteiner won two events on Thursday, which, together with some good performances in the jumps, enabled the braves the team title at the last quad -track and field meeting of the Quad Track and Field meets.

Flathead swept the meet, which gave many athletes the opportunity to meet the state qualification grades of the Montana High School Association. Tim Zundel added a victory in the long jump, teammates Henry Steurer looted 12: 0 to win the pole vault, and Carson Thorne won the 3,200 when Flathead set 110 points to 77 for second place in second place. The bravettes also won their event with 96 points, whereby Whitefish took second place with 81.5.

The leading flathead was newcomer Nova Miller in the pole vault, Claire Jensen in the 800, Bristol Lenz in the 100 hurdles and Naomi Miller in the 300 hurdles.

The moderator Bulldog Boys had one day: Riley Zetooney, Colby Minton and Simon Douglas led a sprint -sweep and Carson Gulick to win 110 hurdles. Douglas performed a personal record in particular in the 400 and drives up 51.54 seconds.

Rachael Wilmot from Whitefish ran in the 100 and 200 meters and Columbia Falls' Rode Lane Voerman, Oliver Kress and depth to the boy team title to highlight the meeting of Nelson-Thomas Abc on Saturday.

The Gulick of the Bulldogs lowered its best time in the 110 hurdles to 15.66, while Austin Savik von BigFork set 39.80. The Viking Tamret Savik hit his PR again in a triple jump at 45-6. Easton Brooks from Columbia Falls was second with 42-11, another PR. Savik sits No. 2 in the class; Brooks is now fifth.
