KouGars claim 9C crown

Every boys basketball coach in District 9C warned anyone who would listen that this week's district tournament was wide open.

A few also warned that the fourth-seeded KG KouGars just might be the team to beat.

The KouGars didn't disappoint as they captured yet another District 9C tournament championship by defeating the Big Sandy Pioneers, 57-45, Saturday night at the Havre High gymnasium.

The win caps off an impressive final month of the season in which KG won its last six regular-season games as well as going 3-0 this past week in Havre. Veteran KouGar head coach Charlie Robinson credits...
