No one was certain what kind of teams Flathead Valley Christian would bring to Plains, but in the end, it was crystal clear: they play pretty good basketball, with the Flathead boys winning 54-50 and the Crusader girls taking a 32-20 win.
The Crusaders boys' team was first up on the non-conference double-header Thursday night at Plains High, and they overcame the first basket of the season by Plains senior Darren Standeford to take a 3-2 early lead.
The Horsemen, behind the shooting of senior Zaden Allen’s six first quarter points, took a 10-7 lead in the waning moments of the initial period, but Flathead Valley rallied to take an 11-10 lead at the end of the first quarter.
