PLAY @ 10:45 @ FLATHEAD AGAINST LIBBY IN LOSER OUT ACTION. TOP SCORER WAS CHASE GRILLEY (20) FOLLOWED BY GRANT GETTS (13), CHASE FAIRBANK (9), MACKEY NOLAN (4), MITCHELL WASSAM (4), CODY BOWMAN (2) AND ZANE RIDINGS (1). Chiefs outlast Wildcats Posted: Saturday, Feb 23, 2008 - 01:05:14 am MST By GREG SCHINDLER/The Daily Inter Lake
"I see him every day at practice," Ronan coach John Hollow said. "The kid has swagger like you wouldn't believe. He's played probably 10 varsity minutes the whole year, and that's what he does. "So kudos to him. When you talk about roles, that's what a role kid does. He doesn't cry about it all year, he comes in and makes shots when he needs to. I'm proud of him." The Chiefs' and Wildcats' standout senior guards provided many of the highlights in a thrilling contest that was too good to settle in regulation. Columbia Falls' Chase Grilley put back a missed Wildcats free throw with 12.2 seconds left in the fourth quarter, giving the Wildcats a 50-48 lead. It was Columbia Falls' first advantage since the middle of the second quarter. But Ronan's Moss Tanner promptly answered, forcing overtime by driving down the baseline and knifing his way through a sea of Columbia Falls defenders for a buzzer-beating layup. Grilley finished with a game-high 20 points, while Tanner scored 19, including 15 in the second half. Ryon Hesselgesser added 13 points for Ronan, followed by Mike Fisher with seven. Grant Getts scored 13 points for the Wildcats, and Chase Fairbank tallied nine. The seesaw affair featured five lead changes. Columbia Falls trailed 13-8 after the first quarter, but went on a 10-3 run to pull ahead 18-16 with 4:10 left in the first half. Ronan led 23-22 at halftime, but Columbia Falls scored the first point of overtime on a Grilley free throw. Hendrickx followed his 3-pointer with a free throw, giving Ronan a three-point cushion, but a Getts bucket pulled Columbia Falls within one, 54-53, before the Chiefs iced the game with three free throws in the final 20 seconds. The teams combined for 46 free-throw attempts and 43 fouls, but there was no hint of dirty play in what is quickly becoming a spirited, riveting rivalry. The Chiefs and Wildcats split their regular-season meetings, with each team winning on its home floor. Columbia Falls (12-7) entered divisionals with a first-round bye, thanks to its No. 2 seed. No. 3 Ronan (14-5), however, survived an opening-round tilt with Bigfork on Thursday, less than a week after the Vikings beat the Chiefs for their first conference victory in two years. "We have not played good the last three weeks," Hollow said. "This win means a helluva lot more for what we've gone through the last couple weeks than I can ever describe. I'm so proud of our kids." Defending divisional champion and No. 4 seed Whitefish reached tonight's title game with a 44-37 victory over No. 1 Polson in Friday's other semifinal. The Chiefs swept two regular-season meetings with the Bulldogs by a combined five points.
