All dressed up and no place to go. That might describe the Sunburst boys basketball team after their impressive efforts last weekend at the 10-C District Tournament in Cut Bank.

Their only loss was to Power, the eventual second place team. Power finishing second and Sunburst third eliminated the possibility of a challenge game.
