The Plentywood Wildcats just narrowly slipped past Glasgow, by a score of 58-55 in a hard-fought, Loser-Out game at the District 2B Tournament in Malta on Saturday afternoon. This game was close throughout, with multiple lead changes.

Glasgow was able to open up a 7-point lead and would extend that lead to 9 in the third quarter, before some hot shooting from Plentywood would close the gap and tie the score at 41 at the end of three quarters of play. Glasgow would take the lead for the final time, on a mid-range jumper from Sophomore Cash Stulc with 2:00 to play. After some clutch free throws by Flickinger to give Plentywood a 6 point lead; Cade Hudyma would cut it to 3, with a three-point play with just 16 seconds left. Plentywood would then increase their lead to 5, but Wyatt Sugg would cut the lead to just 2, on a 3-point basket with 5.8 seconds left. That's as close as Glasgow would get, as Plentywood would walk away with the 58-55 victory.

The trio of Landon Flickinger, Henry Kukowski, and Andy Kaul teamed up for 51 of Plentywood's 58 points. Flickinger had a game-high 21 points, Kukowski added 16, and Kaul scored 14 for the Wildcats. Flickinger was a perfect 8 for 8 from the free throw line, and the Wildcats as a team finished 13-14 from the charity stripe.
