"We had a real balanced attack," said Ronan coach Fred Skogen.

"We had kids step up and hit the ball well. We're pleased with that."

Ronan jumped out to early leads in the first two games, but had to rally from an 8-2 deficit to win the finale.

"We had our opportunities," said Bigfork coach Yvonne Peck.

"We didn't execute."
