    What a year it was in girls high school basketball on the Hi-Line. Havre High and Box Elder repeated as state champions, Harlem went to its first-ever state tournament and won two championships, the Turner Tornadoes came within a shot of making the Class C state tournament, and the District 9C was once again the best district in all of Class C girls basketball. So with all that team success, it would stand to reason that, there were a lot of really good individual players in...
