The Dillon Beavers felt the sting of defeat for the first time during the 2021 season in their final game of the year, a state championship loss to Billings Central. Dillon (19-1) fell behind big in the first half, rallied back from a 16-point deficit to cut Central’s lead to 5, before time became a factor and the Beavers had to employ the fouling strategy. Central canned their free throws to win the title game, 49-39. The Beavers won early and often during the season and entered the state tourney as the top-ranked squad in Class A.
