    Both Whitefish Basketball teams were back in action, Tuesday evening, as they took on Polson in a Northwest A Conference game.

    The boys played host to the Pirates while the girls hit the road for the first time in league play.

    In the boys game, Whitefish got out to an early 4-0 lead bu Polson took control late in the quarter, highlighted by a Malakai Curley Full Court Buzzer Beater to end the 1st. That heave set the pace for this one as Polson led 16-9 after the 1st. 

    Polson added to the lead outscoring the Dawgs 20-10 in the 2nd quarter and took a big 36-19 lead into the half.

    Whitefish would open the 3rd quarter strong cutting Polson's lead down to 9 early in the frame but the Pirates would never let it get closer than that.

    Polson regained momentum and led 57-36 after three and maintained that the final eight minutes, winning 78-59.

    Malakai Curley led the way for the Pirates with 32 points. He made six 3-pointers. Kyson Michel added a cool 26 for Polson.

    Whitefish was led by Will Sisson with 18. Jayke Thew and Leo Bungener added 9 each for the Dawgs.

    Following all the action Polson now jumps Whitefish in the conference standings sitting at 2-3 in league play, 5-6 overall. Polson now sits in 5th place in the conference.

    Whitefish falls to 5-6 overall, 1-4 in conference play.
