🏆 January 2026 #MHSATeamOfTheMonth 🏆 Presented by @MTBeefCouncil AA: Gallatin Girls Basketball (11-0) A: Polson Girls Swim (4 state qualifiers) B: Fairfield Boys Basketball (11-1) C: DGSG Girls Basketball (6-0) Strong teams start with strong fuel.

Last year at this time, Fairfield was unbeaten and poised to make a title run. But the Eagles didn't make it out of the Northern B divisional. That result has stuck with this year's squad. montanasports.com/high-school-sp…
