Visiting Malta Next Up For 4-0 Scottie Boys, 1-3 Girls

Malta comes to town Friday to face a Scottie boys basketball team that's on a roll and a girls squad that seems to be improving.

The boys defeated Baker, 73-42, on Saturday and Roundup, 75-48, on Friday, leading start to finish in both games. They are now 4-0 on the season.

The girls are 1-3. They earned their first victory of the season in the home opener against Roundup, 37-31, but let a game they were leading slip away the next day in a 46-44 loss at Baker.

Chase Fossum led the Scotties with 18 points against Roundup. Also in double digits for the balanced attack were Jason Thibault and Keil Krumwiede with 11 points each and Jake Page with 10.

Against Baker, it was Page pacing G-Town with 15 points. Thibault and Zach Miller had 12 points, Fossum and Krumwiede 11 each and Jake Kolstad 10.

Friday evening's clash with the rival Mustangs is a rematch the Scotties have waited for since the end of last season, when MHS elimiate the 21-5 Glasgow team in the state Class B tournament.

For the girls, Abbi Kolstad led the Scotties against Roundup with 13 points in the their first victory under new coach Jon Kolstad, her dad.

Jordan Kulczyk and Leinie Hughes followed with 7 points each and Lexie Nixdorf added 6.

Kulczyk made her contribution despite hurting her knee, a setback that kept her out of the Baker game.

The girls enjoyed leads after the first three quarters against Baker but were outscored 13-3 in the fourth.

"There was a lid on the bucket," Kolstad said. "It was a tough loss."

The last action for Glasgow hoops before the Christmas break comes Saturday for the girls C team, which travels to the North Country for a contest with the resurrected Opheim Lady Vikings.

Basketball-wise, the New Year begins Jan. 2 for the Scottie teams when they visit Sidney.
