BUTTE — If the final State A girls basketball semifinal was a slog for the Bigfork Valkyries, well, Ava Davey had just about as fine a 4.9 seconds as you can have.
First the junior guard took a charge, as Miles City drove for what could have been a go-ahead basket or free throws. Then, after a timeout, she took the ensuing inbounds pass and went coast-to-coast for a layup.
Bigfork 34, Miles City 32. The dream still lives.
