The Anaconda Lady Copperheads' resilience was well recognized over the weekend during the Western B Divisional Basketball tournament in Anaconda, and it doesn't stop there! Tonight, beginning at 6 p.m. in the Smelter City's Memorial Gym, the Lady Heads will take on the Loyola Heartbreakers in a challenge match to decide who will get the second seed and a trip to the State Class B Tournament in Great Falls, March 9th, 10th & 11th. Tonight's game is in part premised on the fact that the Lady Heads and the Lady Breakers had yet to play each other during this past weekend's tournament.
The story just broke today about the Idaho Murders and what they're doing with the home where 4 students were killed. So we wondered if Montana would do the same?
By 8:15 p.m. came the final match-up of the evening when the Copperheads boys' basketball team hashed it out with the St. Ignatius Bulldogs! To say the least, it was an intense exchange on the court as are most games, let alone tourney play! The Copperheads were up for the majority of the game, but with Bulldogs trailing close behind. The end result was a Copperhead Victory 69 to 66 due to a master 3-point shot by Anaconda's Billy Farmer with only seconds remaining. The game was action-packed with many 3-point shots, jump shots, rebounds, and more by Anaconda's River Hurley, Gabe Galle, Cael Mikalotos, Tanner Cromwell, Brody Galle, Wade Dahood, Tytan Cook, Shane Schalk, Treyton Patrick, Travis Dye, Cory Galle, and Riley Kriskovich. With their game under their belt, the Copperheads will take on the Big Fork Vikings at 8:15 p.m. tomorrow (Feb. 24) for a shot at Saturday's Western B Divisional Championship!
The way Rocko behaves after being outside for a short period in the cold indicates that his Kelpie "down under" side is more prominent than his Canadian side. What was interesting to me while briefly taking Rocko for a walk this morning was how two neighborhood dogs we encountered along the way didn't seem one bit bothered or fazed by the extreme cold weather. They were clearly huskies of some kind who relaxingly laid in the snow like it was no big deal. While on the contrary, Rocko started to act like his paws were hurting and ready to fall off. This was a clear indication that it was way too cold for him to be out in the elements, so we high-tailed it to the house.
