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.
