Hellgate downs Flathead in loser-out play

HELENA — The Flathead girls soccer team’s bounce-back season ended on Friday as the Bravettes fell 3-1 to Missoula Hellgate in loser-out action at the Class AA State Tournament at Siebel Fields.

Two weeks after defeating Hellgate 2-1 at home, the Bravettes could not dispatch a Knights team that was upset by Billings West on Thursday.

Flathead was coming off an emotional loss of its own, having pushed an undefeated Billings Skyview to the brink the day before.

Flathead’s appearance in the state tournament was its first since 2014. The team finished with a 6-9-2 record after two winless seasons.

Hellgate moves on to face Billings Senior in the 5th-6th place game today at 10 a.m.
