Mt. Ellis Academy had to start their season on the road on Tuesday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell 55-51 to the Billings Christian Warriors. The Eagles lost against the Warriors in their previous head to head back in November of 2024, too, but the margin this time around was much closer than the 54-29 score last time.
Billings Christian's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Trevin Sweet led the charge by putting up eight points in addition to nine boards and five steals. Those five steals gave Sweet a new career-high. Silas Grimstad was another key player, dropping a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds.
While Mt. Ellis Academy had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Monday.
