Quite the boys basketball team they got over in Lewistown. Undefeated. Could they be the best team in the State-regardless of classification?
Former Bobcat Justin Brown's son Fisher went off for 54 points last night. He's got 1000 career points and he's just a junior. He's an incredible shooter.

They are really good. Easily the best team in class A. Of course, I think they were last year as well--doesn't always mean you win the title!
I can tell you that in summer ball they have rolled some pretty good class AA teams the last two years. Class A also won the HIT last year with 3 players from Lewistown and Royce Robinson getting the MVP.
Fisher is maybe the best pure scorer I've ever seen. He's an exceptional shooter but also has great body control when driving to the basket through contact. He's only going to get better as he gets bigger and stronger. In addition to him I feel Royce is the best overall player in the state this year. They don't get near the press as the AA teams or even the A teams that are in or near AA towns so he probably won't get Gatorade player of the year, but he should.
That game last night had 6 dunks and two missed dunks. The role players aren't as good of bball players but they are all big, strong, athletic kids. You can see why they won state in football.

Downtown Justin Brown? You know you're getting to middle age when the offspring of your college sports heroes are creeping up on college age...

Ain't that the truth!

Justin was the most consistent player I’ve ever seen out of Montana.

Fergus beat Dillon last night to cap off an undefeated season. Dillon had some fight. They played a 1-3-1 zone all night and slowed the game way down. Lewistown looked like they were feeling the pressure. Their big guns came through though with Royce Robinson and Fisher Brown scoring almost all their points. Fisher suffered a thumb injury in practice on his shooting hand and had it wrapped. It definitely bothered him and when he blocked a shot with that hand he was holding on to it pretty good. He still finished with 25 points with 12 in the 4th quarter. He has one of the purest jump shots you'd ever hope to see.

Good enough to play at MSU?

Fisher is just a junior so we'll see. I hope so. I hear MSU is showing some interest. He'll have to develop physically. The big question for all these kids is can he play defense at the D-1 level. He's very long-he just needs to fill out. Shooting won't be a problem. I hear Robinson, who is a senior, is going to Carroll.
I was really excited for Caleb Bellach when he signed with MSU. He didn't get much time and understandably transferred to Montana Tech, where all he did was score 1000 points and become the Frontier Conference player of the year. So yeah-it's really tough for Montana kids to have success at MSU's level these days.
Alex Germer looked like a sure thing to me, but when Sprinkle got Caleb Fuller in here, his opportunity for minutes disappeared. I hope Alex sticks it out as he'll only be a sophomore next season, but again-it's really tough.

The best team on the girls side is debatable but SWH girls were the top story. I’ll die on this hill.

I'm there with you. We watched most of the Class C Boys and Girls games this past week and there wasn't anyone as exciting or fun to watch as SWH. They will be good again next year and probably will be the favorites to win it all again - losing two starters from this years team who were good, but the core of the star players (Erickson, Wassan) come back next season.

Royce has reopened his recruitment due to Carroll's coach resigning.
