It is big-game time for the Scobey boys’ basketball team as the final one-third of the 2024-25 regular season begins 42 miles east on Highway 5.

The Spartans (8-0 3C, 12-0, 849-403, 70.7-33.5) head into a very competitive matchup on Thursday, January 30, at the Plentywood Wildcats (9-0 2C, 11-1, 811386, 67.5-32.1) with tip-off time scheduled for 7:30 p.m. If one can’t be there live and in person for all the fast-paced action tune into Scobey radio station KCGM 95.7 FM’s live broadcast.
