OUTLOOK: "We're playing well, working hard," Glacier coach Christy Harkins said. "We're still learning what we are all about as a team."

Harkins said the Wolfpack focused on defense in preparation for FHS.

"Flathead has big hitters, a lot of height," she said.

"We don't matchup blocking with them at all. They outsize us at every position. We have to dig. We can't rely on blocking."
