The Wild Northwest A: Whitefish Basketball Roundup

It's been one wild ride in the Northwest "A" this basketball season.

We've officially hit February which means it's down to the home stretch for High School Basketball teams in the Treasure State.

Today an updated look at where the Whitefish Basketball teams stand with just six games left in the season.

The Whitefish Girls got off to a hot start in league play, starting 3-0 in conference contests for the first time in 20 plus years.

The Lady Dawgs have since gone 1-2 in league play.

Whitefish has conference wins against Polson, Ronan, Libby and Browning.

They have close conference losses to Bigfork and Browning.

The Lady Dawgs final 6 games are: At Ronan, Vs. Columbia Falls twice, At Libby, At Bigfork, Vs. Polson.

Whitefish is in a 3-way tie for 2nd place in the conference.

The top 3 teams automatically advance to the Divisional Tournament with the 4-7 seeds to compete in a Play-In Tournament to decide who will go to the Divisional Tourney as the No. 4 seed.
