Chiefs clinch trip to state with third place at divisionals

Ronan had the lead in the first half but blasted the game against Frenchtown right open in the second by scoring 43 points in a 79-58 Western A Divisional Basketball victory on Saturday, March 8, in Whitefish. Added to tournament wins over Columbia Falls and Hamilton, the victory means the Chiefs will be dancing at the state tournament in Billings starting today, when they face Billings Central at noon.
