From what I read in today's GFT, I'm under the impression that the game was a last minute decision. The Explorers tried another H.S. earlier in the day, but it fell thru. I can't find anything on the post poned game. Maybe weather. But I think I read where the Krunk played with only 5 again last night. The turnout was 300.

They did indeed play the game against Atlanta at Fairfield High School which is like 30 miles from Great Falls. The Explorers won by a score of 173-120, which is alot of points. The stats are saying that Maurice Carter had 46 and I was at the game and I can tell you that he had more like 30. Marlyn Bryant had 42 points and everyone else had like over 20. The Explorers have an excellent team in place right now and this is kinda fun having them travel to area high schools to play, it is a old school feel to the games.

Wonder how the 12 mystery points hit the stat sheet? so was it really 161-120?

Thats the problem with these changes in Great Falls... while I don't question the team is performing much better.. the changes in venues including local refs hired out of pocket by Tuckman lessens the games integrity even more. Sorry jbird, but if the league wasn't trying to save face... all these games would have been forfeit wins by the visitors
