The Warriors earned themselves a piece of the district lead this week as they upset the No. 2 Vikings in Charlo Tuesday and won at Hot Springs Friday.
A strong third-quarter push by the Warriors was the difference in Charlo Tuesday as Arlee handed the Vikings their first loss of the season, 48-44.

The Warriors continued to widen their lead in the quarter, outscoring Charlo 16-3 in the frame to build a 37-21 lead heading into the fourth quarter.
