Class B girls basketball: Pirates heading back to state

The defending state champs are back in the big dance. For the third time this season, the Linton Lions were unable to find an answer for Eli Benz and the Kidder County Pirates. Benz racked up a game-high 23 points and the Pirates rolled to a 46-37 victory in the championship game of the Region 3 Girls’ Basketball Tournament on Thursday night in Hazelton.
