Three 9C players earn Class C All-State accolades
Chinook senior Brooke Nicholson was one of three players from the District 9C to earn Class C girls All-State honors for the 2015-16 season. It was Nicholson's third straight selection.
Box Elder's Jude The Boy was one of two Bears to be named Class C All-State this season. The Boy helped the Bears to a second-place finish at the Class C state tournament last week.
The Box Elder girls basketball team put together a memorable run this season and, when the time for postseason honors arrived, the Lady Bears cleaned up.
While Box Elder didn’t end up winning the Northern C Divisional or the Class C state championship, the Lady Bears did add runner-up trophies in both tournaments and won the District 9C championship.
The Lady Bears, who won a total of 25 games, also had four players named First Team All-9C. Seniors Tyrah Gopher and Jude The Boy earned All-Conference honors, as did juniors Minnie The Boy and Tia Russell.
After Box Elder, the only other team to put more than one player on the First Team was Chinook, which put both Brooke Nicholson and Brooke Elliot onto the squad. Sophomore Korrin Harmon of Chester-Joplin-Inverness was the youngest player to make the team. The other players to receive First-Team honors were Sheridan O’Neil of North Star and Ella Billmayer of Turner.
The Coach of the Year award in the 9C went to Joel Rosette of Box Elder, who led the Lady Bears to their first state tournament since 1998.
The Fort Benton Longhorns did not have anyone make the First Team, Alia Evans and Leah Gannon both earned Second Team All-Conference honors for the Longhorns. Graysen Spicher and Paij Peterson of North Star, Madeline Woods of CJI, Alyssa Lamere of Box Elder and Kelsey Mathon of Chinook were the others named to the team.
The Lady Bears were also well represented when it came to the 2016 Northern C All-State selections as both The Boy and Gopher made All-State. Box Elder two players tied both Belt and Great Falls Central for the most. Dani Urick and Kerstyn Pimperton were named from Belt, while Bryn Anderson and Katie Wilson made it from Great Falls Central.
The others named All-State were Lorianne Stultz of Winifred, Cecilia Vielle of Centerville, Coya Nack of Geraldine, Emily Bergum of Roy, Denise LaFontaine of Highwood, Mariah Stoltz of Valier and Nicholson of Chinook.
