-ARLEE SCARLETS-

MISSOULA — On Wednesday, the Arlee girls lost a close one to Victor in the first round of the District 13-C tourney in Missoula. The 66-55 loss put the Scarlets one loss away from end of their season. The Scarlets play the loser between Alberton or Philipsburg, who play each other on Thursday night.

To give themselves a shot at divisionals, the Scarlets will have to win that game. The Scarlets second game is at 7:30 p.m. on Friday in Missoula.

Against Victor, freshman Kenzi Bradshaw scored 14 and junior Chelsea Allaire scored 12 to lead the team.
