Furious comeback: Arlee takes fourth in State Tournament
Arlee found itself short one shot in the Class B State Tournament third-place game against Lodge Grass. The Warriors posted one of the most impressive comebacks in state history, trailing by 21 points with four and a half minutes left in the game.
“We were super happy to be playing on Saturday against a fun Lodge Grass team,” Arlee head coach Jason Maki said. “We went back and forth but got down in the third quarter and then had a furious comeback.”
Arlee went on a 24-4 run, but Lodge Grass (22-5) held on for the 78-77 victory on Saturday, March 9, in Billings. Arlee placed fourth in the state tournament, capping off one wild weekend of Warriors basketball. It was Arlee’s first trophy from state since placing third in the Class C Tournament in 2019.
