They played the best, they beat the best, and now they are the best! The Chinook Lady Beeters took the 1965 State Title from the defending champs, the Fairview Warriors. It wasn't an easy task for the Beeters. because they had to beat three undefeated teams With an ending season of 25 wins and two losses, the I.ady Beets showed Fairview. and the other less fortunate teams, that the Beeters are number one. The Beeters won the District Championship by defeating the Malta M'ettes, 14 43. in a very exciting game Roxanne Tilleman lead the team with ten points with Shells MacKenzie and Rhea Frey each having eight points. However, the Beeters went on to Divisional to lose to Malta in another close game. 43 46, to take second place. But it was the best thing Malta could have done for the Beeters. putting them in the bracket against Superior. Superior sure wasn t superior , because the Lady Beets brought them down by a 49-46 victory. The Beets then went on to deteat Belgrade with a 60-42 score. Can they do it ' , was the question in everyone's mind as the Lady Beets went against top-ranked Fairview for the State Title; Yes’ was the answer. The girls went on to defeat Fiarview. 61 49! Even though it was a time for celebration, sadness spread over the Beeters. Senior. Deanna Statelen was rushed to the hospital for her heart condition, which started when her heartbeat sped up to the point where all the blood was pumped out of her heart, and she lost blood pressure. Although the problem was not new. it was thought of as cured and as not causing any further problems. But. it did come back, and will affect Deanna the rest of her life. Deanna was a big part of the state victory, but almost lost her life. When she came home the real celebration started. Getting to the top was no easy task for the Beeters. Although they started their season against Valier with two enormous victories. 75-39. and 95 20. (What a way to open a season') the Beeters didn't always have it so easy. There has always been a great rivalry between Malta and Chinook; it was at its best this year! They split the victories during the season, and the Beeters psyched themselves up to take District by giving Malta a message of K.M.A on the famed hillside between Chinook and Havre. As a result of their phenomenal effort, three girls from the Beeter team; Rhea Frey, a senior, joined by two juniors. Roxanne Tilleman and Lisa Shockley, made first team all-conference. These girls also earned First team all-state honors. Both awards commend the girls for excellence, since only five girls earn such accolades. Now . the Lady Beeters don't have to worry about Malta, or any other team, because they have proven that they are State Champions’ The girls have given a whole new meaning to the term, team ball.
