HOLY SCHMIDT Twin Bridges wins title!

[grizaremoregooder]

Before last night, the Twin Bridges boys basketball team knew nothing but defeat in the State C Tournament. Previous squads have captured the 3rd place trophy seven times over the past 100 years but were never able to even play in the the championship game-that all changed last night. Before a packed Metra Park crowd of 9,000 plus screeming fans the Falcons downed previously un-beaten Rocky boy 63-61 in a memorable championship game. The Falcons overcame a 26-8 deficit and 4-28 shooting in the first half to fight back and win its very first state championship. Jake Schmidt hit a 3 pointer with 8 seconds remaining (the only time Twin Bridges held the lead the entire game) to cap a 6-0 run in the last 20 seconds of the game to secure the title for the Falcons. Hundreds of Twin Bridges fans stood in disbelief with smiles on their faces for an hour after the game and celebrated (including myself) with the team next to the court. It was one of those moments you never wanted to end (100 years in the making)-I will remember it for the rest of my days CONGRATS FALCONS!

It was a quite a story - wished I could have seen the game. Honestly, I'm glad T.B. won for another reason that at game time I did not know.....almost the entire Rocky Boy contingent was staying at the same motel in Billings as I was Sat. nite....needless to say, it was a quiet evening after the game.

grizaremoregooder,

I'm from Scobey and sat in section "R", to the right of your fans. I can honestly say, your fans were the classiest fans there. Kudos to your fans and congrats to your team. I was cheering for ya (since you put a beat-down on us), nice/great win.

Hey, thanks man-I was in the nose bleed section above the Twin Bridges fan section(only place I could find a seat)-I saw people at that game that I thought were dead. I think the whole town was at that game-I saw classmates I havn't seen in 15 years. I will never forget it as long as I live-again thanks.
