They may have only played twice, but both the Havre contest and the championship for the Central A basketball title were extremely close and hard-fought games for Browning. A big third quarter put the Indians out in front of Havre on Friday, but the Blue Ponies stormed back and tied things up at 66-all. It took two overtime periods for the Indians to win by four, 84-80. Saturday’s championship game pitted Browning against Butte Central, which like Browning had an 8-2 record. Fouls kept three Browning players out of the first half, and poor shooting in the second period kept the Indians from claiming the lead for keeps. Browning took the second place crown for 2010 at 64-62.
