But Chinook found their second wind in the fourth, exploding for 20 points and sealing the deal. Alexus Seymour delivered a dominant performance, pouring in 22 points, while Brooke Fetter chipped in with a crucial 11. Despite a slow offensive start and weathering a fierce Harlem comeback, the Lady Beeters demonstrated resilience, punching their ticket to the next round with a decisive fourth-quarter surge.

The Coyotes responded with a surge, taking a 22-18 lead into halftime, leaving Chinook with work to do.
Some minor adjustments paid off. Chinook stormed back, tying the game at 22 early in the third. Shelby answered, but the Beeters kept showing their grit and grabbed a slim 29-28 lead heading into the crucial fourth quarter. With momentum firmly on their side, the Lady Beeters refused to relinquish their advantage. The girls turned their Beeter speed up a notch, holding off a determined Shelby squad and securing the victory! Saturday’s loss to Malta (47-37) has done nothing to deter the Beeter girls as they saddle up for Missoula on Thursday, March 13th against Florence-Carlton. Go Beeters!
