Chamber Makes Plans For Tournaments

Wolf Point Chamber of Commerce directors received information about upcoming basketball tournaments during their meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 2.

Cody Larson, athletic director for Wolf Point High School, said that Wolf Point will host the District 2B boys’ basketball tournament and Poplar will host the girls’ tournament on Feb. 25-27, The district tournaments will feature teams from Wolf Point, Poplar, Malta, Harlem and Glasgow.

Wolf Point will then host the Northern B divisional girls’ basketball tournament from March 4-6.

The divisional tournament will include four teams each from District 1B and District 2B. Schools in District 1B include Choteau, Conrad, Cut Bank, Fairfield, Great Falls Central, Rocky Boy and Shelby.

“This will be the first time in a long time that we will host the Northern B girls’ divisional,” Larson said.

He’s hopeful that Wolf Point will do an impressive job of tournament host and then be placed in the rotation.

Based on Montana High School Association rules, tickets will be limited to four per athlete. There’s a limit of 25 percent capacity for the gym as far as attendance.

Hotel rooms have been booked for teams. Larson encourages restaurants to make plans for the tournaments.
