WHITEFISH — The Valkyries came out hot early and didn’t let up.
Bigfork closed out their second win of Saturday with a 52-32 showing against Columbia Falls after both teams earned state berths earlier in the day.
“These girls gutted it out,” Bigfork coach Courtnee Gunlock said. “They showed how mentally tough they were with how physically exhausted they were. They laid it all out on the line last night and came up short, but they came back and proved they are a real good team.”
