BILLINGS — One Montana team had no problems extending a win streak. One Wyoming team had no problems ending one — and starting its own. The 2024 Midland Roundtable Montana-Wyoming All-Star Basketball Series ended Saturday with the Montana leg of the two-day doubleheader at Lockwood High School, and it ended with two sweeps by way of the Montana girls and Wyoming boys.
Montana's girls all-star squad completed the weekend double over Wyoming — and won its 15th straight game in the series — by holding The Cowboy State to a tied record-low in points in Saturday's opener. And in the boys nightcap, Wyoming (which one night earlier in Gillette, Wyoming had ended Montana's 22-game winning streak in the series) captured its first sweep in the series in 13 years by successfully shooing away a late comeback from the hosts. Despite its two defeats this weekend, Montana's boys still hold the all-time mark in the series by a wide margin (67-29).
Meanwhile, Montana's girls extended their own lengthy all-time lead (41-13) over their southern neighbors with their two victories.

It showed.
Big Sky Country locked in and shut down Wyoming from the opening tip, rolling to one of its most dominant wins of its now 15-game winning run going into .
