Whitehall focuses on Columbus

After finishing the regular season with three wins, the Whitehall High School boys basketball team won three games in three days at the 5B District Tournament in Belgrade and earn a spot in a Southern B Divisional Tournament play-in game today at the MetraPark Arena in Billings. The third seed from the 5B District, the Trojans will take on the third seed from 4B Columbus in a game scheduled to tip off at 6 p.m. The winner will advance to the double-elimination tournament and a Friday evening matchup against Lodge Grass.

Trojans Head Coach Zach McLean said Columbus is a talented team with some size and athletes and they will want to speed up the game and score.

With a week in between the two tournaments, McLean is happy with what he saw from his team.

"We've had a good week of practice. The guys are hungry and aren't intimidated by their opponent. We've focused on some keys this week and I believe we are still hungry for more," he said. "I'm just really happy for these guys. They have played their hearts out and believing in the system and themselves which is exciting to see," he said.
