Bigfork's Gunlock commits to BYU

After a banner junior season in which she helped Bigfork finish second at the State A tournament, the Valkyries’ Braeden Gunlock announced Tuesday she has committed to play women’s basketball at Brigham Young University.

The 6-foot Gunlock, who will be a senior this fall, made the announcement via Instagram. She has been the lead player for a team that finished third in Class B in 2022, then won the 2023 State B championship, and in March marched into the championship game in its first season up in Class A.

She had offers from Montana, Boise State and Eastern Washington, and visited UM and Boise as well as BYU. She made her official visit to the Provo, Utah, campus last weekend.
