HAVRE — The MSU-Northern men’s and women’s basketball programs are set to host the 34th Hi-Line Invitational Tournament April 2 and 3 at Havre High School.
The H.I.T. features some of Montana’s top high school talent on all-star teams from each of the state’s four classifications (Classes AA, A, B and C). Players from all eight state championship teams will be represented at this year's tournament. Last year's event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Girls and boys action will take place throughout the weekend, culminating with consolation and title games on Saturday evening. A 3-point and slam dunk contest is also scheduled for Friday evening.
The H.I.T., now in its 34th year, has featured some of the finest high school players in the state. The tournament was originally founded by Babsie Bishop. Rosters and a complete schedule are listed below.
