Tournament Memories

By Kimber Korell

Tournaments were fun for everyone. Some took home trophies; others took

home memories. One memory that Mrs. Hjelvik took home from the district

tournament is Holden Roskelley taking off his shorts before he made it to the

locker room because he had gotten blood on them. What a sight that must’ve

been! Another one of her memories was Deva Bascom fighting the Ekalaka Bull-

dogs’ mascot. We’re all pretty sure you won that brawl, Deva! Joe Griswold’s fa-

vorite memory from tournaments was the best rides up there; he said they were

nice and very fun. Kaigen Roskelley’s favorite memory was playing as tough as

she could and getting third in divisionals. Megan Brewer said her favorite tourna-

ment memories were the fun bus rides which she got a lot of sleep on, great

food, and an amazing team. Davon Meredith’s favorite memory was winning the

very tough championship game that got them to divisonals. BreElle Wacker said

her favorite memory she took away from tournaments was winning the district

championship for girls’ team for the first time ever. Tournaments were fun for

everyone involved, whether you were a parent, fan, or player. Our Broncs and

Lady Broncs did exceptionally well this basketball season, and we all hope you

players can do it again next year!

Until Next Season

By Gracey Adams

The Lady Broncs went into tournaments in full swing.

The opening round the Lady Broncs

played the Custer-Hysham Rebels.

The Broncs played hard and came

out with the win. The second game

the Lady Broncs had to play the

Northern Cheyenne Eagles. The Lady

Broncs knew they could win and

showed they could. The Broncs won

the game which put them in the district championship.

The Lady Broncs were pretty nervous to be playing in

the championship, but they knew they could do it. The

Broncs faced the Wibaux Longhorns in the champion-

ship. The game went into overtime tied at 37-37; the

girls came back from being nine

points behind in the overtime. The

Lady Broncs are district champions.

After the great win, the Broncs had to

work hard for the next weekend in

Laurel. The opening round the Broncs

had to play the Plenty Coups Warriors.

They girls came out a little slow, but

they then went on a run. They were up

by eleven when they went into

halftime. The girls came out and showed who they real-

ly were. The next evening the Broncs had to face the

Broadview-Lavina Pirates. The girls knew it wouldn’t

come easy, knowing how good of a team they were

and not having BreElle to help them due to a knee inju-

ry. The Broncs came out and tried their best but the

Pirates defeated them. The girls had to stay over in

Billings that night and play a nine thirty morning game.

The Broncs had to play the Wibaux Longhorns in the

loser out game. The girls knew that they could do it

since they had done it two times before. The Broncs

defeated the Longhorns. The Broncs then went on to

the consolation game that night against the Park City

Panthers. The Broncs were tired from the morning

game, but they came out and proved themselves and

defeated the Panthers.

Custer-Hysham Rebels 55-26

Northern Cheyenne Eagles 47-30

Wibaux Longhorns 47-28

Plenty Coups Warriors 59-25

Broadview-Lavina 33-47

Wibaux Longhorns 52-45

Park City Panthers 57-39

The Broncs were hoping for a challenge game, but

they didn’t get one. Shayla summed up the season:

“ I had a lot of fun this season. We worked really

hard and did something that hasn’t been done in for-

ty years!” The girls got third place in their division.

This is the best finish that Melstone has had for over

30 years. Thank you to the community for the support

all season!

Eva Kor: Holocaust Survivor

By Kimber Korell

“Eva Kor was just ten years old when she and her twin

sister, Miriam, arrived in

Auschwitz and were herded

into the sadistic care of the

man known as Dr. Josef

Mengle,” according to the an-

nouncement for an upcoming

presentation. Mengle used

Auschwitz as an opportunity

to continue his anthropological studies and research on

heredity, using inmates for human experimentation. The

experiments had no regard for the health or safety of

the victims. He was particularly interested in identical

twins, people with eyes of two different colors, dwarfs,

and people with physical abnormalities. Eva Kor will be

speaking in Miles City on April 24 at 10:30 a.m. at the

Custer County District High School. The juniors and sen-

iors will attend with Mrs. Hjelvik to listen to her public

lecture. Eva will talk about what she experienced in

Auschwitz, how she recovered, and her remarkable deci-

sion to publicly forgive all Nazis and Dr. Mengle. Eva is

definitely an amazing woman who has had to endure so

much. She has made it her life mission to tell the world

her story and to speak out for those who can no longer

be heard.

Onto the Next One

By Dwight DeJaegher

The last game of the regular

season was an easy win for

the boys against Broadus to

get them ready for tourna-

ments (58-19). The first day of

the district tournaments the

boys met Custer-Hysham, and

it started rough, but the boys

still won (68-32). The next day

out in the semifinals the boys

met with Ekalaka, and they

came out ready to get the

win (48-31). Saturday night in

the championship round the

boys met with Wibaux for the third time of the season.

The boys played a tough one, but they got the win in

overtime by two to get the district title (41-39). On

Thursday March 3rd the boys played in game three at

divisionals against Harlowton. The boys lost to Harlow-

ton by four (44-40).The next day the boys met Jordan

and they came out ready to get the win (63-30). The

next morning the boys played Terry and continued on

with their season (44-28). The same night in the conso-

lation game the boys played Reed-Point Rapelje and

won in overtime (43-40). The boys faced Plenty Coups

Monday night in the challenge game to see if they

could go to state but lost by ten (45-55). Coach Pierce

remarked that he “was very pround of us because of

our age and how young we were and how far we made

it.”
