Former Bravettes star Hildal dies in police shooting
The Flathead High School family received tragic news out of Ohio on Thursday that former basketball player Kesley Hildal died in a police shooting April 1.
Hildal spent just one year at Flathead, but had such an impressive senior season in 2008-09 — she averaged 18.8 points and scored a school-record 39 against Missoula Big Sky — that colleges took notice.
She appeared to be a popular teammate and had a big booster in then-coach Kim Elliott, who mentored Hildal in his third and final season as the Bravettes’ varsity coach.
