Northwestern A Divisional Basketball Tournament pairings
Mick Holm shows a "Finny" T-shirt that he bought from Dave Yeats on Wednesday (Feb. 25) at Columbia Falls High School. The slogan on the front of the shirts is, "Don't give up … don't ever give up!" Net proceeds from the shirt sales go toward Craig Finney's medical costs. The CFHS Hall of Famer, who lives in Dillon, is battling pancreatic cancer. To purchase a T-shirt, call 892-4735, 250-0134, 253-7819 or 892-4527. (Joe Sova photo)
