Columbia Falls is coming off a third-place trophy and Polson is one year removed from the inaugural state championship, but Bigfork might be the team to watch as high school baseball heats up in the Valley.
“Bigfork has everybody back,” Columbia Falls coach Chad Green asserted, and the Vikings pretty much do: sophomore leadoff hitter Ryeln Rodriguez; junior Grady Campbell; the list goes on.
Bigfork lost a five-inning, 16-6 decision to Frenchtown last week but the Broncs are loaded and it was early. Frenchtown’s pitchers allowed just three hits but nine walks; the Broncs, boasting five players coming off all-conference or All-State campaigns, banged out 11 hits including two home runs.
