Feb. 25 – On this day in Montana
history in 1906 Billings sports fans were gloating over their local high school
basketball teams double victories over the team from Sheridan, Wyo. Sheridan had
beaten the Billings team two week earlier on their home court, and some revenge
seeped in with the story about the return games. “(They) will go home with two
large goose eggs in their little basket that they brought up with them in which
to convey the scalps of the local basketball players on their return trip,” a
local sports writer opined. And we think
rivalries in sports are tough today.
