Draya Wacker News Today

Here is a preview look at the Montana Grizzlies and Lady Griz as they enter the 2023-24 college basketball season with high expectations.

The women’s scrimmage will tip off at 5 p.m. That will be followed by the men’s scrimmage, which will start between 6:30 and 7 p.m. Both scrimmages are free.

The 35th annual Hi-Line Invitational Tournament got underway on Thursday evening at the Armory Gymnasium on the campus of MSU-Northern in Havre.
