By: Jeff Schlapp

The Gardiner Lady Bruins earned second place in the Class C MHSA Volleyball Tournament on Saturday, which should put a smile on the faces of those in Gardiner who are just reading the news.

95 Class C schools began the year chasing the dream of winning the Class C title, but only two played for the championship—Gardiner and Cirle High.

Incredible.

Gardiner’s Journey Browning attacks as she returns a smooth dink over the net for a winning point against White Sulphur Springs on Saturday during the Class C MHSA State Volleyball Tournament.

In the stands, it seemed the whole town of Gardiner was ready to cheer on the Bruins. There were people I had never seen at a game this year, a lot of folks, and they drove from Gardiner to Bozeman in snowy conditions.

Big day. Big games. Big interest.
