Ten points were awarded for a state title, seven points for a second-place finish, six for a third-place finish and so on, down to one point for an eighth-place finish.
The Locomotives paced Class A with 46 cumulative points, 40 of those coming from their state titles in girls cross country, girls golf, girls soccer and football. The Locomotives added a third-place finish in boys golf.
Whitefish finished second in the all-sports rankings, totaling 37 points, thanks in large part to state championships in boys golf and boys soccer.
