Go Hellgate! Cross town rival basketball.

[MontanaMama]

Big night here in Missoula, Montana….my alma mater Hellgate High School playing perennial rival Sentinel (my husband’s school). Our son goes to Hellgate (thank goodness) and we are whipping those Sentinel Spartans soundly. They play this game at the University of Montana field house because it’s such a big deal in the dead of winter here in the Rockies…everyone is there…except us because we just got through Covid and don’t want to tempt fate. We’re listening on the radio and it’s just so much fun. Goooooo Hellgate Knights!

1. How is this not being televised!!?! I've checked all four of my broadcast channels,

and nothing!

At least the girls already crushed Sentinel. Go Knights!

3. I just found out it was televised!

My kiddo called me from the traffic jam at the university. The Hellgate girls team is a juggernaut!

5. Well, probably not televised here in CA

Really glad your team is doing well! HS and college sports (especially the lower tiers where it's not semi-pro) can be so awesome, with the team/school spirit and passion for the game and just general fun for the sake of fun...

Montana Mama! Thanks for sharing!!

4. It's crazy...I know nobody on DU really cares...

But damn…it’s so cool that my kiddo goes to my high school…and I LOVE beating the cross town rival.

6. I think it sounds fun

and wholesome!

Nothing like a good old hard fought game of local rivals!
