Four area players picked up All-State honors as Arlee's Jesse Pfau and Kasey Bridgewater made the boys' squad, as did Charlo's Chance Rosenbaum. On the girls' side, Charlo junior Kinley Pope was named an All-State selection.
Area players accounted for seven of the 14 spots on the All-Conference girls' list as four Charlo Lady Vikings were picked for the squad while Arlee's Scarlets had three players make the list.
Kinley Pope and Rachel Hoyt of Charlo were both named All-Conference First Team for their part in leading the Lady Vikings to a 19-4 record and a district title. Teammates Dawn Blevins and Deondra Brown were named to the All-Conference Second Team for their efforts this season.
The Lady Vikings advanced to the Divisional Semi-Final game before being eliminated from the playoffs this season.
