Arlee defeats Valley Christian, again

Arlee’s boys basketball team remained undefeated with a 58-41 victory over Valley Christian, on Saturday, Dec. 21. It marked their third straight win and second victory against the rival Eagles this season.

With the short drive from Arlee to Missoula, the Warriors had the crowd energy behind them and used an energetic defense to pressure Valley Christian for turnovers and easy buckets.

Arlee built a seven-point lead after the first quarter, which quickly grew to 15 by halftime following a 5-0 run.

Josh Horn scored 23 points for the Warriors, including 11 points in the second quarter, which was more than Valley Christian’s entire team.

The Warriors are looking strong in their 2024-2025 campaign after going 22-7 last year and posting two wins at the state tournament.
